Report was out on NBT with a official saying why would we lie about the amount spilled?

To minimise the amount of money you would need to pay in compensation that why.

The people of Rayong are furious. Another leak and loss of earnings for the province due to incompetence.

Using US stats to prove anything is probably not pertinent to other countries especially in kids.

The US has some of the unhealthiest people alive and any illness will be debilitating.

Bill gates has said omnicron has been better than the vaccine.

He states that in African countries that 80% of people have been exposed to COVID through vaccine or catching it.

Remember South Africa was the first country to say that this variant wasn't as serious.

Omnicron is a upper respiratory illness as opposed to delta which was lower so let's stop counting and this will all just go away.

Can you give some examples? What problems are they solving better than existing solutions? And please be specific, not just the usual vague talking points about smart contracts, removing the middleman, reducing cost, etc.

 

Because of all the hype, central banks have been forced to actually take this serious, with the U.K. releasing a report calling it a solution in search of a problem, I.e. there are absolutely no reason why they would do this. Banking is already digital, and as long as we have trusted actors (like central banks), there is no need for consensus protocols and blockchains. In fact, public ledgers is the last thing banks and their customers want.

 

Right, we want all that information on public blockchains… not! Also, several countries and some states have already digitized these things, it doesn’t require blockchain, crypto currencies, or NFTs.

I can't be arsed to write loads of paragraphs. The vague you talk about is part of the reasons and I'm not here to convince you but I'll throw you a few bones.

As always DYOR. Banking the unbanked and zero carbon transactions are a big narrative now.

The swift system is outdated and iso2022 system will start to be implemented this year.

You say the banks don't want this and don't want that but they are all investing in crypto.

Also what we want is rarely what we get. As we are seeing now is that under any act of national security or circumstances like a pandemic the government can do whatever they want.

Well, it does provide a VERY plausible explanation for what I suspected anyway - that Bitcoin is a scam.  I personally cannot see any intrinsic value in cryptocurrencies (although I can see a lot of value in the technology behind cryptocurrencies - the blockchain).  Sure, some people have made a lot of money off of cryptocurrencies so far.  But that's how it always goes with scams:  The original investors do well, luring in suckers later, and then they collapse.

 

So I will never buy Bitcoin - or any other cryptocurrency.  Worst-case scenario, I will miss out on the investment opportunity of a lifetime.  But I have missed MANY great investing opportunities (Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Google, etc.), and yet I have still managed to do OK for myself.  I can forgive myself for missing opportunities, because there will be another one around the corner - and I'll still have my money to invest in it.  What I would not be able to forgive myself for is investing in what to me is an obvious scam.

Alot are scams. In fact most cryptos will get regulated out of existence in the not too distant future but many coins have real world utility which you will see come in to play in the coming years.

There were scams in shares and bonds also remember.

Although there are a few that could technically work as currencies they won't be used as such. All countries will adopt CBCD's and then one or maybe and handful will be used for ODL purposes and exchanges say a digital dollar over to a digital baht.

Although they are all labeled "currencies" and named "coins" that is only to denote a price per unit or share as such..

Drivers license, passports medical records will all become digital in the form of NFTs. Everything stored on your phone or even implanted if Elon Musk and Bill Gates pattens are anything to go by.

The days of scurrying round for pieces of paper are numbered.

Every Thai person I've spoken to who has bought crypto has told me they got scammed in some way with crypto 

Scammed in what way? They lost money? That's part of investing if you don't know what your doing...or if you invested in a pump and dump meme coin .

Do your research and invest utility coins

Bitcoin IS now the national currency of El Salvador, with 2 other American countries following soon. Yet, some still refuse to acknowledge that it is a real currency.

Keep in mind that "kids" are temporary, covid is forever. If you vax them now they will not enter the risk stages at later years, much like mumps, measles, chicken pox, all of which had "death rates" before vaccines.

I see people posting their kids have had all the childhood shots but worry about this 1. The ones you let them have already are all tried and true over years and years. Now you know what your grandparents thought about with mumps, measles, etc.

Tried and true over time takes trying and time. Too bad God has been on the back burner for so long. 

This vaccine doesnt work like the ones you mentioned., Actually if it worked then we wouldnt need to keep getting boosters.

A Covid vaccine today isnt gonna help you next year not less in your late years

Anyone gonna tell them its almost over and omicron is a upper respiratory illness now. Guess they have some surplus stock

Seen hundreds

I wonder if the people controlling this emergency response are trained, experienced and qualified in major emergency management? ????

Seen hundreds of people in uniforms pointing at there so it seems they are.

Almost every country has crypto tax. Believe it's been reduced to 15% here. 

That's  cheaper than alot of countries.

The PCR test should be positive for people infected with omicron, yes, but I think what @Puccini was asking was whether the PCR test would also identify the specific variant when it gives a positive result, and to that the answer is no - additional tests need to be run on the sample.

 

"Fewer than half of UK labs have the required technology to detect suspected Omicron cases. This means that in some areas, it may be detected more quickly than in others.

 

Confirming that a suspected case is Omicron requires a full genetic analysis, which takes between four and five days."

If the test picks up all coronaviruses then would it not pick up the common cold?

Do the PCR tests performed in Thailand automatically identify the SARS-Cov-2 variants of persons who test positive?

Apparently it picks up all coronaviruses

We know that tourists get taken to the hospital and hit with a big check. Anyone have any knowledge of what happens if you live here and are Farang?

And? So have many others. It doesn't mean all hacked platforms have refunded their users. Which is what the previous guy was saying before you. Clearly false.

The previous statement was that people didnt get their money back. I didnt say all. I just mentioned two that did.

That's false. Not all.

Even users who had coins in Cryptopia exchange—which went under in part because of a hack—are having difficulty getting their coins back.

 

Wrong! Bitpoint and coincheck have both refunded hacked accounts

It is way to volatile.

Billions have been stolen / disappeared without any compensation

Volatility is what can make you very wealthy. Billions get stolen but there are ways to protect yourself. 

Also compensation has been given by exchanges that get hacked.
