Should quantum computing become practical, there's little doubt that blockchain will also benefit by its use.

No reason to be bullish on crypto if you believe that powers like the US and the EU are good stewards of their respective currencies.

I'm not in that camp, not anymore.

(snip) You do have a point. Currently all govt issued currency is fiat. I don't think that the definition of fiat include "issued by a central authority". However, I would not discount the power of the state when it comes to enforcing the use of the state currency. The second part of your...

If it's easy to believe that climate science has suffered institutional capture, should not the healthcare apparatus also deserve a healthy amount of skepticism? Why should they be immune to criticism?

It's still early. Bitcoin is gaining acceptance faster in areas with unstable currencies. Such is its purpose, really, if you have a stable currency, it's easy to overlook the need for something like Bitcoin. For anyone interested, this is as good a primer on Bitcoin as I have ever heard: FXvQcuIb5rU

Thanks. Given the drug's safety record over decades of use, it still baffles me that there seems to be a knee-jerk aversion to its use, a de facto proscription rather than a prescription. I would not want this med over the counter, but it seems like a reasonable interaction with one's doctor should...

Amazing indeed. Nobel prize, WHO 300 essential medicines, destroys parasites, anti-virus and evidence of anti-cancer properties, far lower toxicity than most otc meds, developed from a natural source. Ivermectin should be on every drugstore shelf next to the aspirin. It also completely flushes out ...

i had a day or two or flu like tiredness after my pfizer shots, but nothing magor - if i need a booster in 6 months i will be doing so. my state is being slow in opening its borders up , which is causing much gnashing of teeth, but looks like we will be letting covid rip through in january. Midsumm...

At least you can say we care, even if we're getting it laughably wrong. Back when I lived in the US Midwest I recall a Canadian friend saying that he was very happy that most Americans, and most important, most American politicians could not locate Canada on a map as the last thing any nation wants...

First, glad to know that you survived your COVID-19 infection. Hope you fully recover soon and thrive. Not advice, but I'll describe what worked for me w.r.t. weight loss. I had gained about 20 kg [44 lbs] over the course of about 6 months due to an experimental treatment for an ongoing health cond...

This particular video on what was not well known from the 3 hour Rogan - Gupta interview covers a lot of what has not been covered in the MSM. Particularly which lifestyles are being hit particularly hard by the vascular disease known as COVID-19 I have posted both the HTML link and the URL as the ...

I posted a study on natural vs vax immunity here a couple days ago. Not sure which forum. Probably this one: http://www.onthenatureofthings.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3062&p=155289#p155290 Although according to Dr. Gorski's "Science Based Medicine" article, who is linked in Typ...

...As for the J&J vaccine if you get it talk to your doctor about it and MAKE SURE they aspirate the injection before they unload the syringe into your arm. Tell them to do that before they actual jab you. When I got it they did not do that and I bled after the shot which means it was injected ...

CrashTech Hope you get over the remaining symptoms soon. The sense of taste and smell may take a while to return to normal. I know of a woman that had COVID in January and she still doesn't have a sense of smell. Is is a really good cook but since COVID everything she makes is way to salty. BTW Wer...

I only know of this second hand, but may I never become complacent and cavalier about the severity of this disease and the gravity of the situation imposed on family, friends and coworkers. Much respect to you for your recovery and for your positive outlook for the future........ Thanks liz, that m...

harsh. their are probably asthma/emphysema type steroids you can take to help work your way through to improved lung function ? There were only a few brief times when I started to feel like I could not get enough air. Such feelings tend to induce panic and make things far worse, so I had to very pu...

I'd be interested to see the demographics of those who succumb there. Seems to me that Romania might be one of those countries that has a large population of elderly people largely unaffected by the toxic weird* lifestyle, though the fact that they may have extended lifespans as a result is probably...

There are numerous exchanges that allow you to use USD to purchase crypto directly, so I have to wonder if Tether is for rubes who are meant to be fleeced? Probably. The claim is that Thether and its ilk are " govt fiat money stabilized cryptocurrency " and the this conveys the advantage ...

Apologies for my tardy reply. Life is placing inordinate demands on my time lately. Post-illness, it seems that when I have some free time, I have simply been passing out in my office chair, then staggering off to bed without even setting up the coffeemaker. It's getting better, though. I have had C...

The lack of interest in this topic makes me wonder if participants are pseudonymous world leaders, or of those in their orbit.

Have many participants here caught COVID? Would this be an acceptable spot for a personal anecdote re the course of the disease and interactions with the health system, or it such a thing better placed elsewhere?
