You are placing me in the wrong box. Go look at my post history and find the posts that indicate that I am one of those people who are using major events to hype Bitcoin use, as you are claiming. Roll Eyes

I don't need to go there as I remember all your posts and the topics we've discussed
From the fact that you didn't pay your cable tv and got cut out to Brexit and the Chinese new year you're always finding bitcoin as a solution for problems that it can't solve. Don't you remember how it would solve poverty? Grin

Fortunately for me, I have close friends that are working in the Health industry and they get frequent updates on the latest news about this virus epidemic, so I am quite informed about the latest things happening with this.

Did your friends tell you what the NCBI says?
Or are your friends better trained than the guys working there?
I'm still waiting for a study of virus transmissions between fomites, there is no conclusive study to date of how this happens if it happens at all.

And please don't avoid my question:

Would you support a government ban on cash payments if they would use the disease spreading as an excuse?

Ok, you sound like the kind of person that always wants to be right, so let's agree to disagree. I am a problem solver by nature and if I see a problem, I look for innovative solutions to that problem. I sometimes work on contract in Africa and I see lots of people dying from diseases that could have been prevented.

" The CDC estimates that influenza has resulted in between 9 million 45 million illnesses, between 140,000 810,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 61,000 deaths annually since 2010. " - Source : https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/index.html - So we should be just as worried about the complications of the common flu virus, than with COVID-19. Wink

I am also in the technology field and I love anything related to currencies, so shoot me if I want to find innovative ways to prevent further infection, if Bitcoin can help with that. Wink

Sorry, if I missed your question : If you also scrutinize my post history, you would also see that I am not very fond of governments - A lot of these governments have hidden agendas and they will look for excuses to boost their hidden agendas. (Example : Bitcoin is used for terrorism and money laundering, so we should ban it) and for that reason I would use my own common sense and decide on my own, if I would support it or not.

I am divided on the issue, because I am a avid coin collector and I would not want to see coins and fiat currencies being banned for the wrong reasons. ( I would much rather want to find a solution to "clean" money or to find a way to prevent infectious diseases to be spread via these objects - some countries use plastic notes and they can be washed, without damaging the notes. ) Wink
