Getting mine tomorrow. Vodafone contract cancelled. I can use my bloodstream as a 5G hotspot, right?

cool stuff - I'd not heard of oculus medium but I am slowly learning Gravity Sketch and I'm absolutely enthralled with it. I've used it to make a few worlds in Altspace and I can't get over how well it works.
It does seem the healthcare sector is warming up to VR the fastest. There's a weekly meetup in Altspace (do I maybe spend too much time in altspace, oh probably . . .) on Thursdays called Health Systems chat. If you haven't been it may be a good networking opportunity for you.
Here's a couple worlds I've made if you're interested in checking them out:

What is the beginning of the end going to look like? Give me a testable prediction, so that I can check in three months whether you were right or not.

There is practically nothing around here available for purchase using cryptocurrency. The idea that cryptocurrency will supplant government-issued currency within two years is highly dubious.

You can lose a hell of a lot buying bonds, don't you know.

Sounds exciting. But to be successful, a currency needs to be boring. It needs to be highly liquid, and it needs to have a stable value.
If a cryptocurrency is boring, it's not likely to catch anyone's interest. But if it's not boring, it won't be successful as a currency.

Why would they be? I can already pay for doughnuts by waving my debit card at the plastic blob next to their till. How would switching to a cryptocurrency make my life better? How would it make anyone else's life better?

The inflation rate isn't that bad. Even with all the stimulus cash flowing around, I doubt we'll get up to 1980's levels.

I am completely unconvinced. I have a fair bit of free cash on hand, and I'd like to think that not buying into speculative bubbles is part of the reason for that. I see no reason to put anything into any cryptocurrency.

I was under the impression that "support" and "resistance" were just lines that people drew on the graph after the fact, and that they didn't have any significance in reality. In finance, people like to construct narratives to explain what they've observed. Often, there's no way to know if the explanations are true or not.

how would you recommend someone go about buying and holding some bitcoin?

It would, but governments are being lobbied by bosses to force everyone back to work, so they can afford that 6th or 7th home holiday home.
That really is what it comes down to. The same is happening here...we have a vaccine roll-out, it's already gotten most of the most at risk...but the general public is still unprotected. So what do we do? We open everything back up, of course, so we can have one final spike before we all get vaccinated properly.

Not a bad speech, though. Didn't sound a whit like Trump. I'm surprised he read it. I wonder who wrote it.

Hello welcome to my unfiltered garbage
Part of me really wants to believe that this will change anything for the people who were outside the building and didn't actually want to storm it. Like, I can see that faintest glimmer of a possibility that they could see how part of a protest could be calm while another one is a complete shitstorm, that they could take a step back and say "oh so some people burned buildings during BLM events but just like I didn't want to storm the capitol and do a coup maybe the BLM people aren't about rioting." And I know, I know, it's not going to happen. It's a moment that would make sense for it to happen if it could, but the MAGA cult is very resistant to enemy memes. I know.
I am sick to death of people who are whining that police hitting these chuds with teargas or killing that woman is bad somehow. No. They are my enemies and I wish them harm. Full stop. The reasons you do things matter, and these fuckos invaded the Capitol to install their beloved dictator for another 4 years. They didn't storm it to end police brutality, or to end the concentration camps, or to end the fossil fuel industry before it kills us all. They did it because they are at best gullible wannabe revolutionaries and more likely because they are racist fucks who want to return to a fictionalized version of America where their Whiteness would get them a house and wife and kids and the ability to beat the shit out of any brown people in their neighborhood, and also the wife and kids. FUCK THEM. I HOPE THEY DIE.
All of this.
Twice.
