Thứa quý vị hôm trước Kd có nói sẽ tìm hiểu thêm về vụ BS Michael Đào thử nghiệm corona. Hôm nay có thêm thông tin chỉ muốn chia sẻ với quý vị. Kd xin viết tiếp bằng tiếng Anh vì chuyện xét nghiệm này chỉ ảnh hưởng đến những người ở Mỹ và viết tiếng Anh dễ hơn cho Kd vì có nhiều từ chuyên môn không biết nói bằng tiếng Việt.

So the issue of Dao Medical Group conducting testing boils down to two main issues:

1). Does Dao Medical Group have the legal approval from the FDA to conduct such a test?

2). Is the test kit legit and reliable?

The FDA has determined that this is a serology test and a medical provider can administer this test as long as they post a disclaimer according to the FDA guide line (we were referred to this section by an FDA agent over the phone). I went on Dao Medical Group’s FB and saw that they did post such a disclaimer as required by FDA.

(Taken from Dao Medical Group FB)

“Hello everyone,

We couldn't wait for our EUA approval, so we called FDA all day. We just got off the phone with FDA at about 7 pm tonight 3/22/2020.

Good news, since the test we offer is a serology test, we don't need to wait for EUA (Emergency Use Authorization), as long as we post a disclaimer that FDA gives us.

This test has not been reviewed by the FDA.
Negative results do not rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection, particularly in those who have been in direct contact with the virus. Follow-up testing with a molecular diagnostic should be considered to rule out infection in these individuals.

Results from antibody testing should not be used as the sole basis to diagnose or exclude SARS-CoV-2 infection or to inform infection status.
Positive results may be due to past or present infection with some non-SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus strains.

In addition, the FDA agent even told us that yes Korean FDA has a very high standard.

We will still proceed with the plan (if we get our 2,000 kits shipment tomorrow):

FREE-OF-CHARGE COVID-19 IgG/IgM Rapid Gold test kit, if you cannot afford it (honest system)-Starting Tuesday 3/24/2020 (if the 2,000 kits arrive).

WE DECIDE TO DO THIS TEST FOR PATIENTS/PEOPLE WITH SOME RISKS (PEOPLE WHO WORK with THE PUBLIC, WORK IN DELIVERY BUSINESS, ELDERLY PATIENTS AT RISK, and AMD Medical Plaza's patients will get more priority because we know them and their medical histories).

FREE-OF-CHARGE COVID-19 IgG/IgM Rapid Gold test kit, if you can't afford it (honest system).

$49/KIT DONATION if you can afford it, SO WE CAN BE ABLE TO ORDER MORE KITS.

DO NOT COME TO OUR CLINIC to get tested WITH NO APPOINTMENT.
WILL NOT DO THE TEST IF YOU HAVE NO APPOINTMENT, and the police may fine you for violating the "stay home" law.

WE CAN SEND SOME KITS TO verified NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS FREE-OF-CHARGE.

IF YOU ARE HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, WE CAN SEND THE KITS TO YOU AT $30/KIT.

YOU HAVE TO CALL US FIRST 714-899-2000 TO HAVE APPOINTMENT.

IF SOMEONE IN THE FAMILY TESTED POSITIVE, MUST CALL US AND WE WILL PROVIDE TEST KIT(S) FREE-OF-CHARGE TO THE ENTIRE IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBERS (up to 5 kits) WHO LIVE IN THE SAME HOUSE. SOMEONE from the family must come to pick up the test KITS.

Limited to 2,000 kits at this time.”

2). Is the test kit legit and effective?

The latest news is that the FDA has allowed this igG/igM Rapid test to be distributed and use across the country.

Thông tin mới nhất FDA đã cho dùng igG/igM Rapid Test (loại test nói trên) và rất nhiều hãng hiện đang cho ra cả trăm ngàn bộ test đó để dùng khắp nơi trên nước Mỹ! Thông tin từ Reuter’s.

In this YouTube clip posted 3 days ago, https://youtu.be/RVkKlBftOSw The Governor of Colorado just ordered 100,000 of the same test kit from China instead of from Korea which is used by Dao Medical. Essentially they work the same and can show the result in 2 to 10 minutes.

Sau khi đã tìm hiểu kỹ hơn, Kd xin lỗi bs Michael Dao và cám ơn BS đã luôn lo lắng sức khỏe cho gia đình Kd.

Một lần nữa mục đích post về đề tài này là để giúp những ai đó khi cần, lúc này là lúc nương tựa nhau để cùng vượt qua đại dịch chứ không phải để gây ân oán ganh ghét nhau.

Pioneer A Financial Life on Ethereum with A Non-custodial Banking Replacement by Mel Gelderman 在以太坊上開拓無需銀行託管的新金融生活

On the first day of 2019 Taipei Crosslink, the CEO of Monolith- Mel Gelderman gave a speech on their Monolith Ethereum Wallet + Tokencard and how people are starting to know and embrace Blockchain technology in our daily life, not for gambling or fraud, but for the real positive changes it can bring to the world!

monolith.xyz

Everything dates back to 2015 when Taipei Ethereum Meetup was merely a small group of people… Mel started off the speech with the memory of him stepping into the Ethereum ecosystem!

Story-telling time!

A brief description of Monolith

Monolith is a decentralised banking alternative on Ethereum, with its current business area in Europe. There are two main products: Monolith app is a contract wallet to transfer cryptocurrency to fiat money; Tokencard is a the debit Visa card that anyone can use just like a normal Visa card.

The Status Quo

Monolith has been through the FCA Sandbox in UK. However, AML(Anti-Money Laundering) and KYC(Know Your Customer) are policies Monolith has to comply with.

AML and KYC can be achieved by simply looking into the origin of the cryptocurrency or tokens, as everything on Ethereum is there, open and transparent: if an address is known to be of illegal source, banning it solves the problem.

Currently, there are already more than 1000 users using Monolith Wallet and Tokencard to cover daily expenditure!

TKN Token: Be our own bank!

Though the topic of TKN wasn’t brought up in the speech, TKN plays a crucial role in the ambition of Monolith: to return the interest of depositing money from banks to users. For more information: CLICK!.

If you’re interested in such ambition, also check out: Compound!

Demo Time

Mel demonstrated how to use their Monolith Ethereum Wallet. During the demo, there’s an anecdote really amused everyone:

The transaction time on Ethereum is surprisingly not really longer than the time on Visa lol

Apart from the above evidence that blockchain is rising ;) Here are a few notes about Monolith Wallet worth mentioning:

Monolith Wallet is a contract wallet with a recovery mechanism, which solves the problem of usual wallets that there is no way to get back your assets on blockchain once the private key is known to the attacker.

Whitelisted addresses are specific addresses not bounded by daily spend limit, and cannot be modified afterwards. Combining the two, even if an attacker gets to know the private key, the attacker can only transfer up to the daily spend limit, and the owner can transfer the remaining assets to the whitelisted addresses.

Monolith is also working on another recovery mechanism to deal with the situation of losing your phone. Stay tuned!

Monolith Tokencard also has every mechanism one needs for a normal debit card: freezing and unfreezing the card, reporting lost card, etc.

The workflow of using Monolith:

Decide the amount of cryptocurrency for exchange -> Decide the targetted fiat currency -> Wait for transaction confirmations on both Ethereum and Visa -> Success! This is now the debit card with money to spend :)

To wrap up this section, Monolith is the purest DeFi you can imagine! — Mel

Future Goal

Back in the days, it’s impossible to live solely on a Bitcoin wallet, as the exchange between cryptocurrency and real-world currencies was never easy.

However, with Monolith Wallet right now, the blockchain technology is mature enough for people to rely on the blockchain solution for daily payments, rather than trusting in banks to deal with our money.

It’s not hard to imagine that in the future, with the mass adoption of the blockchain technology, we might be able to receive cryptocurrency as salary and pay many things to anyone in every corner of the world with only a single wallet and a few clicks on your phone!

Questions

1. When or if it’s possible for Monolith to be available in Taiwan?

South Korea may be the first place for Monolith in Asia. Taiwan is on the list for sure, and hopefully, Monolith will be available by the next time when Mel visits Taiwan ;)

2. What is Monolith’s opinions on anonymity and privacy?

AML and KYC are the agreement Monolith made with Visa and FCA. However, Monolith is considering issuing a token to compensate users for going through these policies!

Conclusion

Mel’s is definitely one of the most inspiring speeches: Monolith and Tokencard visualize the dream that blockchain technology can really help make our society a more decentralised place and reduce the risk that we have always been staking on the centralised institutions!

In the end, I’d like to quote a line from Mel to summarize the speech and also his enthusiasm towards blockchain and Ethereum:

We are on the cusp of the most exciting moment in Ethereum since its creation!

Special thanks to Mel Gelderman for the friendly and patient feedback on my questions and recommending me COMPOUND!!! also, to Yahsin Huang for reviewing and her helpful advices and as usual to Chih-Cheng Liang for organizing the TEM column:)
