I'm getting increasingly worried that medical science is about to find a new, widespread, and terrifying cause of dementia.
Seriously though, this is a concrete example of the harms that come from fraudulent journalism. The journalists at Cointelegraph who spread this misinfo are parasites, gaining a small financial benefit for themselves at the expense of a much larger harm to society.
I wonder if he measures his wealth in pennies...
@pete Number go up? 🤩
@pete I would have assumed a big company investing in BTC has an expert to analyze news, and not trade on tabloid headlines. They deserve to be parted from their BTC.
@JuergenStrobel FWIW I've done exactly that kind of consulting, and in that exact scenario, would probably have charged them ~$300 for a half-hour phone call to explain what the news actually meant.
Wouldn't take much price movement for that $300 phone call to be really good value for the money...
@pete wait until Schiff finds out how many atoms are in an ounce of gold. 😱
@harding Nah, gold at least has a limit to how many times you can divide it.
Well, at least, that's what the friendly radiation safety officer told me...
@pete Well there is 31.103 Grams in a Troy Oz of Gold. 31103 milligrams in a Troy Oz of Gold. 3.36x10^27 atoms per Troy Oz. Therefore gold is anything but scarce. https://www.quora.com/How-many-atoms-are-in-1-00-oz-of-pure-gold?share=1
@pete Someone should tell him us Bitcoins hold several micrograms of gold in our smartphones too.... We be goldbugs just like him, except less stressed....
@pete if that’s real, can we write him off and move on?

The one reassuring thing about this widespread outbreak of dementia is at least we know it's not from the covid vaccines.
