Cryptocurrency: What is the Price? Do The Math...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZMLbfN4kd0 This is also why cryptocurrency, of which Bitcoin-BTC might end up being one of the few leaders 20 years out, could easily hit $250k/coin, when comparing equivalent value buckets among them. Bugs and Hodlers know this simple math. Few others do. https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnnavin/2020/08/14/warren-buffett-buys-nyse-… https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M1 https://www.theburningplatform.com/2020/08/16/what-difference-does-it-make-…

Aussie Rona killer: Ivermectin ‘Amazingly Successful’ In Killing Corona virus
by Zenaan Harkness 18 Aug '20

If you feel compelled to be in fear of the flu, then fear no more as you kin be pretty sure _some_ Ossie bastard's gonna throw a spanner in the pharmaceutical works :) So if you missed the (literally) green tea and zinc memo, here's another combo which in this case happens to come straight off the "approved by the FDA and is on the World Health Organization’s model list of essential medicines" - not dissimilar to HCQ. ----- Forwarded message from Gil May <gilmay97(a)gmail.com> ----- From: Gil May <gilmay97(a)gmail.com> To: reader(a)gmail.com Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2020 07:52:51 +1000 Subject: Ivermectin ‘Amazingly Successful’ In Killing Corona virus *Australian Professor Thomas Borody: Ivermectin ‘Amazingly Successful’ In Killing Coronavirus* https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=8&v=F6A6RFDprIs&feature=emb_logo *An Australian drug known as Ivermectin, which is already in use throughout the world to treat parasitic conditions, is showing great results in killing coronavirus in studies involving patients, according to Sky News <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6A6RFDprIs&feature=youtu.be>.* “Because I’m involved in developing these in the U.S. where all the patients are, there are a number of studies that are amazingly successful. We’re talking close to 100%. “In fact, we haven’t seen a result yet under 100%. It looks like corona is very simple to kill,” Professor Thomas Borody, medical director of Australia’s Center for Digestive Disease. “It’s available as a prescription medication. You wouldn’t use it alone … but you add two other things to it such as doxycycline and zinc.” *[image: A Health Worker Shows A Bottle Of Ivermectin]* A Health Worker Shows A Bottle Of Ivermectin Ivermectin is already approved by the FDA and is on the World Health Organization’s list of model list of essential medicines. “We had a 14-hospital trial in Bangladesh. We got [cured] 100 out of 100. In China, they tried to reproduce it. They got 60 out of 60 cured … “So I am behind the Ivermectin, doxycycline, zinc treatment because it has very few side effects and is a real killer of coronavirus,” Borody said. Borody said the Ivermectin tablet could cost as little as $2 <https://www.biospectrumasia.com/news/91/16457/australian-develops-effective…>, which is likely why drugmakers haven’t promoted the drug’s usage. He also suggested that have a cure for the disease easily would do away with the need for people to be hospitalized, which would make doctors less money. “There’s no huge pharmaceutical company behind it to spend millions of dollars and put people in places to treat,” Borody said. ----- End forwarded message -----

Liberation Podcasts [re: State Podcasts on cyber policy]
by grarpamp 17 Aug '20

17 Aug '20

> From: Jeff Johnson via cpsr-activists list > Forthcoming podcast on cyber policy: > https://cafe.com/stay-tuned/cyber-space-with-john-carlin-ft-john-demers/ > http://lists.cpsr.org/lists/info/cpsr-activists Consider the possible unliklihood these two employees of the State care about your freedom at all, possibly existing instead to ensure that the "cyber 'policy'" tech of the world's States and Corps never allows you to reach a higher state of liberation, peace, freedom, love, charity, mutual cooperation and sharing among each other. Hardly possible with such States and Corps censoring, skimming, authoritarianing in the middle over you. "“Cyber Space” is a new forthcoming podcast for members of CAFE Insider, where host John Carlin, former head of the Justice Department’s National Security Division, will engage leaders from the government and the private sector to explore and make sense of issues at the intersection of cyber, law, and policy." Do you think they will talk about any liberation (tech) ideas? Any alternatives, any libertarian / liberation philosophies, any freedom from them, anywhere around the world? Why are "liberators" on a "liberation" tech list listening to / promoting them? Is it not yet another a TV show to busy and waste your mind / time, tricked and trapped away from exploring what actual liberation could be. Create and promote your own TV show on that, the actual liberation. People will listen. Liberation can be in your lifetime, only if you make it.

US Supreme Court hands a defeat to Soros

Found here: https://youtu.be/qJ7OMGuT5r8 # OAN: Supreme Court hands defeat to George Soros and his overseas groups-qJ7OMGuT5r8 https://fort-russ.com/2020/07/video-us-supreme-court-hands-defeat-to-george… 2020-07-11 the USA Supreme Court on 29 June 2020 in a 5-3 vote recently handed down a defeat to George Soros and his "Open Society Foundations". Soros "may not use Federal funds to pursue anti-American campaings." Barack Obama had during his term "poured more than $170 million of taxpayer funds into various Soros groups...". "The bulk of Soros' funds came from USAID (AID)" "Open Society Foundations opposed US federal prostitution and sex trafficking laws" ... perhaps why this case was largely ignored by the mainstream media: "they [MSM] don't want to have Americans hearing that George Soros is willing to fight to the death for sex trafficking"

Local and other direct P2P trades were long recommended by cryptos to remain free of such and other privacy / censorship / related issues. Many people ignored the wisdom. Privacy coins exist as well. https://www.ssrn.com/ search: chainanalysis, chainalysis, privacy coins, cryptocurrency privacy, zcash, monero, etc
