View A sudden bitcoin price crash similar to the one seen a few weeks ago now looks unlikely, with exchange deposits having dropped by over 30 percent in the last 12 days. The decline in the exchange deposits suggests investors have regained confidence in the long-term viability of bitcoin, according to analysis. A range breakdown on the 4-hour chart would expose support at $6,000. A move […]

Italy has been by far the hardest hit developed nation as the novel coronavirus spreads across the world, with really only Iran ranking as a more severe outbreak, while outbreaks in Spain and France are rapidly accelerating and threaten to soon join Italy among the nations desperately in need of aid from Brussels. But as the Europeans dawdle over their aid package, Italy is finally seeing […]
Italy’s Civil Protection Agency just reported a second straight drop in new cases, offering some hope to Italians, and the global community, as the government in Rome has been desperately struggling to slow the outbreak. All of a sudden about three weeks back, Italy saw a sudden surge in cases that took it from just a handful to a serious outbreak in Lombardy, then across northern […]
NICHOLAS KAMM/AFP via Getty Images President Donald Trump, in a lengthy tweetstorm Monday morning, sent strong signals that he wants the coronavirus lockdown to end after 15 days. Late Sunday night, the president, in an all-caps dispatch, wrote: “WE CANNOT LET THE CURE BE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF. AT THE END OF THE 15 DAY PERIOD, WE WILL MAKE A DECISION AS TO WHICH WAY […]
Authored by Lance Robert svia RealInvestmentAdvice.com, “If you own 10% equities, as we do, and the market falls 100%, you will lose 10%. That said, you have 90 cents on the dollar to buy equities for free.” – Michael Lebowitz Let me explain his comment. Last week, we wrote a piece titled: Risk Limits Hit.

A senior Finnish health official has dismissed a World Health Organization (WHO) advisory to test as many people as possible for coronavirus, arguing that such a measure would be completely illogical when combating a pandemic. Finland’s head of health security, Mika Salminen, took aim at the notion that stopping the spread of Covid-19 requires testing on a mass-scale. “We don’t understand the WHO’s instructions for testing. […]
According to a Gothenburg University researcher, it was “not incredible” to think that the number of infected is ten times higher, which would amount to one million. Tom Britton, a professor of mathematical statistics at Stockholm University who foresaw the spread of the coronavirus in Sweden long before its authorities began to worry, has estimated the current situation at around 100,000 infected. On 6 March, he […]
New Delhi (Sputnik): Hindu organisations and allies of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have been coming up with somewhat unscientific claims of preventive measures to fight coronavirus, including cow urine and dung. A minister in the federal Health and Family Welfare Ministry, Ashwini Kumar Chaubey, has claimed that 10-15 minutes of sunbath a day will eliminate any kind of viral infection. “This would provide you […]
View Bitcoin’s MVRV Z-score suggests the cryptocurrency is under-priced and could be trading near a major bottom. Short-term technical charts indicate scope for a test of price resistance near $5,900. A violation of an ascending trendline support on the 4-hour chart would expose the recent low below $4,000. A key metric suggests bitcoin is now trading at a relatively discounted price, having dropped by 60 percent […]
Chief of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, has floated an idea to ban all the “non-essential” travel to the EU for a month. The move is aimed at containing the coronavirus, that is plaguing the bloc. “The less travel, the more we can contain the virus. Therefore … I propose to the heads of state and government to introduce temporary restriction on non-essential travel […]

Liberty University president Jerry Falwell Jr. on Fox and Friends Friday floated the theory that North Korea and China might have conspired to create the coronavirus in an effort to attack America. Falwell’s theory follows that this plot was conceived in an effort to hurt President Donald Trump. Falwell began by arguing that the coronavirus was being overplayed by the media: “And there was not the same […]
One day after Fox News executives sent a memo to staffers emphasizing the network’s duty to keep its viewers informed with accurate information about the coronavirus crisis, Fox & Friends guest Jerry Falwell Jr. suggested the North Koreans worked in concert with China to create the virus specifically to harm America. Falwell, who is the president of Liberty University and a top supporter of President Donald […]
France’s Financial Markets Authority (AMF) has proposed that all of Europe adopt a regulatory sandbox to support the emerging security token industry. The “Digital Lab” would run for three years, the watchdog said in a March 6 legal analysis, exempting projects from financial regulations like the MiFID and CSDR that AMF’s analysis deemed incompatible with the blockchain sector’s growth. “These frameworks were designed to frame centralized […]
Cryptocurrency scams in 2019 were more risky for U.S. residents than fraud involving romance or payments. That’s the conclusion of a report released last week by the Better Business Bureau (BBB), a nonprofit organization focused on marketplace trust. The report found an average dollar loss in crypto-focused fraud of $3,000 for victims aged between 25 and 44. The relatively high figure was the result of nefarious […]
CNBC on-air editor Rick Santelli offered a novel solution to deal with the coronavirus outbreak’s impact on the global economy. Santelli, whose anti-tax rant helped ignite the Tea Party movement in 2009, was clearly frustrated after another near 1,000-point drop in the Dow Jones average on Thursday. In response, he pondered the intentional spread of the virus, which the WHO estimates has a mortality rate of more than […]

Authored by Steve Watson via Summit News, Get in the bubble… A Chinese architect has designed a wearable bubble that he claims will protect people from the coronavirus by killing it with UV lights. Dayong Sun claims that the lightweight carbon fiber frame can be worn like a backpack, with a thermoplastic material encasing the wearer and heating up to a temperature that will kill pathogens. Sun says that […]
Authored by Elias Marat via TheMindUnleashed.com, Enjoying a small bit of booze on a daily basis could actually help boost your life-span to a healthy 90 years of age, researchers have found. The study, spearheaded by a team of scientists at Maastricht University Medical Centre in the Netherlands, discovered that men and women who indulge in a daily drink are 40 percent more likely to reach their 90th […]
The rapid spread of Covid-19 across the world has prompted federal health officials this week to warn Americans that an outbreak could be imminent. When it comes to preparing for a health crisis, good hygiene practices are needed to limit the transmission of the virus, such as mask-wearing and regularly sanitizing hands. Nancy Messonnier, the director of the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, […]
A GOP operative, known as the Trump family’s ‘fixer,’ appears to have admitted in a recorded call that the newly-hired US spy chief acted on the president’s orders when he allegedly secured the arrest of the WikiLeaks publisher. The contents of the call between GOP operative Arthur Schwartz and journalist Cassandra Fairbanks – which could turn Julian Assange’s UK extradition trial upside down – were reported […]
Ever since FCoin fell insolvent this month, blockchain researchers have been poring over data to figure out what caused the failure and where all the China-based exchange’s cryptocurrency went. A recent report from Silicon Valley-based Anchain AI wonders whether funds were pilfered by insiders, challenging FCoin’s official line claiming a data error was to blame. The study is provocatively titled, “FCoin Exchange Shutdown: Technical Difficulties or […]
On Sunday, the Russian Navy confirmed that it had picked up and was closely monitoring the USS Ross, a US Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer with Tomahawk cruise missile and AEGIS capability, as the warship headed north after entering the Black Sea. The Bosporus Observer YouTube channel has published footage which appears to show the USS Ross transiting through the Turkish Straits toward the Black Sea. […]
Authored by Eoin Higgins via CommonDreams.org, As Sen. Bernie Sanders appeared headed for a decisive victory Saturday in the Nevada caucuses, MSNBC host Chris Matthews pondered whether President Donald Trump’s re-election might be better for the Democratic establishment than the Vermont senator’s multiracial, multigenerational movement taking over the party. “I’m wondering if Democratic moderates want Bernie Sanders to be President?” said Matthews. “Maybe that’s too exciting a question […]
