    Assange will be safer in Russia since he is white. South african whites also got to flee, what do you think? Doesn't matter what nationality. Not easy to find a country more dangerous than south africa. :D

    Theres so much wrong with that ^ Twitter post.
    Sounds like something a socialist twit would say.
    If trump loved america he would spread more socialism? Haha He cant be much more socialist than he already is.
    That has to be a leftist group when their answer is more freebies. No idea how economies work.

    facist, socialist etc are on the same side
    not taking good care of the people, man vs state
    why not blame UK now, the new strain is from there


    SINGAPORE - A British court has found a 15-year-old boy, part of a group of teens who attacked a Singaporean student in London last February, guilty of a racist act.

    The verdict on Monday (Jan 4) by the Highbury Corner Youth Court comes after the boy pleaded guilty in August last year to wounding or causing grievous bodily harm without intent.

    He had challenged the account of Mr Jonathan Mok, 23, in the London court and said he and his friends never said "I don't want your coronavirus in my country" or made any comments regarding Mr Mok's ethnicity.

    I am guessing that it's not just an investment.

    Perhaps Russia is trying to get rid of their dollars, so they buy Bitcoin. They are probably facing problems with the sanctions and a bunch of dollars piled up, while they are having severe economic problems at country level. So they are buying Bitcoin? Just a guess...

    They're not fools to see how Bitcoin's price is increasing. Perhaps it is them pushing it up.

    On the other hand, China seems to be an enemy of Bitcoin. So is Thailand.

    Although I think cryptos are rather a pyramidal scheme, I believe that more states and major companies/investors will jump aboard. Thus, pushing BTC even higher...

    But because it is rather a speculative asset with nothing behind it, I expect BTC to crash deeper than it did in the past.

    It's a Tulip-mania. But one in the Johnny Mnemonic/style, so it feels cool. Looks serious technically. But only technically. Economically-speaking it is nothing more than a speculative fiat digital "trinket".

    It is easy to see how unserious Bitcoin is: just look at the faces who invest in it. Butter faces, pimpled immature nerds and armchair investment "experts". I think Peter Schiff is right.

    Just the fact that its dependent on internet and electricity gives me great concern to hold for long term.
    Theres no durability in the aircoins if one solar flare or grid down scenario will wipe it out of existense.
    Cryptos dont have the necessary properties to make it sound money. It's far too frail of a system and too reliant on other systems to work.
    Metals are without any of those worries.

    Of the 10 million without power in Mexico, the ones with gold and silver still can purchase what they need.
    The BitTards are throwing a fit in moms basement.

    China can't have Bitcoin since it can't be controlled. Everyone will be using it to shift wealth overseas.

    Socialism would come to America regardless of who takes over. Trump or not won't make a difference since he is not a Chinese or Russian dictator that can stay on forever. The one area that Trump hasn't solve for America is Iran's nuclear ambition. But to give credit, he did managed to bring over North Korea.

    Most serious outbreak so far. In northern china near BJ. From the news, looks bad?

    Queuing up for PCR test out in the open at -15C? I guess they are used to it.

    Testing may work for original virus, but if it's the uk and african mutant, testing will be useless. They may not even be detected by the test, and will spread like crazy in winter weather, especially the african mutant. The only way is to lock down all the cities until april, but it will be bad for the stock markets.
