Ether

This is written by Shara Malwa for Coindesk.

Japan-listed Remix Point made money when it reported selling Ether, Solana, and XRP on Wednesday.

Dogecoin was, of course, the exception.

The company sold 2.8 million Doge on September 1st for about a quarter million dollars, roughly $21,000 below its fiscal year opening book value.

And then they talk about how much they made from Ether and Solana and all that.

We don't need, we don't really need that because the point is, is that they're selling their altcoins for Bitcoin and the Doge is the only loss that they had.

And it was measured against the value, which RemixPoint carried the position at the start of its current fiscal year, rather than its original purchase cost.

It turned agony into silence, fear into hope, and surgery into a science rather than a terror.

Ether was the first publicly demonstrated anesthetic.

In October of 1846, in a surgical theater in Boston, a dentist named William Morton astonished the world.

He administered ether to a patient about to undergo removal of a neck tumor.

News of the demonstration spread rapidly and ether soon became the first widely adopted anesthetic.

Its effects were dramatic, but not without drawbacks.

Ether was flammable, had an unpleasant odor, and sometimes caused dangerous side effects.

Even so, its success marked a turning point.

Chapter 4.

Where did the chemicals come from? The Ether man gets his name from Ether, but we still do not know where Philip was actually getting Ether or chloroform from.

His own employment gives us no obvious answers.

Philip worked as a clerk in the state children's department, and nothing in the surviving record connects his duties with medical supplies or chemicals.

Both were old anaesthetics that were gradually being replaced by newer drugs.

But they were still circulating through hospitals, pharmacies and medical supplies.

Ether was still being manufactured in Australia around 1960, and Ipswich Hospital had been using open-ether anesthesia only a few years before Philip's attacks.

So although the drug was becoming old-fashioned, there was still plenty of it moving through Australian medical systems.

Not to mention the lunatic animals in Gaza, or let's say in the West Bank, that Netanyahu is ostensibly under control of because the, um, IDF effectively protects lunatic settlers as they go about deranged, degenerate behavior in the West Bank.

Why on earth would I care? Now, he may be putting this to an Israeli audience.

An Israeli audience may care because, again, they're also 80, 90% psychopaths.

But yeah, I agree with you.

People would inhale it recreationally at social gatherings they called ether frolics.

Oh.

Ether frolics? That sounds so weird today.

It really does.

But Long noticed that the physiological effects of inhaling this ether were incredibly similar to what the famous chemist Humphry Davy had recorded about nitrous oxide back in 1800.

It turned agony into silence, fear into hope, and surgery into a science rather than a terror.
