The Bantang Bioeconomy Experimental Zone, in Anhui, China. As seen from above. Quite fun, and in no way alarming.

Weekly Volume on spot Bitcoin, across all major exchanges, is a fraction of what it was a year and a half ago, even months before Blackrock launched its ETF. Down by 60%+. It’s beyond ridiculous at this point to believe this is all mythical “OGs” dumping off-exchange, in individual non-traceable & non-taxable transactions. Since Wall St adopted Bitcoin pre-2024, purported purchases have been stellar…even as real spot-buying has continually evaporated. Yet price has refused to retrace, preying upward, and for weeks now seemingly intransigent above near-ath’s above $100kUSD. Paper Bitcoin is undeniable. Only a handful of Bitcoin fools still argue against it -mostly fiat-inexperienced influencers. Volume has clearly and undeniably disconnected from Price. Thus it won’t be long before the sharks arrive to frenzy-feed. Sharks seeks blood in the water. It’s their raison d’être. And fundamental disconnects are blood in the water. Wall St thought their boat was big enough. They underestimated what they were hunting. And Trump’s “SBR” was just the Mayor of Amity Island.

100% Simple evidence for this is that BTC Weekly Volume across major exchanges has plunged by 70%+ in the past 7 mos (absent a notable “selloff bottom”). Volume includes both buying & selling, obv. Real BTC is not changing hands. nostr:note1kxtkhw84jhtd7y65d65t45whkmdpysjge6rsq6gpuqwn9mfprpdshe0fjt

Pepe the Frog thing is like watching an old guy on a Harley. Just me?

I’m just going to re-iterate here on Nostr. Pushing toward weekly highs on declining volume is not bullish. DCA, but don’t FOMO.

Coinbase, Binance, et al are the same. Bitcoin volume is plummeting into this price-rise, on weekly charts. Something is awfully off. Now is not the time to fomo, fwiw, ngl, imho.

Ultimately, I adopted Knots because literally everyone arguing for Core revealed themselves as unserious people I would never have hired for the job in the first place.

Bitcoin network hashrate took a sizable plunge right around when the US bombed nuclear facilities. Could that have knocked asics offline? Mempool showing next difficulty adjustment (in 5 days) will be down about 7%.

As a rule I never use technology that listens-in on me, but I’d unhesitatingly buy a printer that responds to the voice command “oh shit no stop stop stop STOP!”

Because the right time to take a side on whether Bitcoin Core Devs have been compromised is. . . . complicated nostr:note18xumxzmct0v3fm3a7dfp7t693se2d9dpn6yxhjrsgwfwgv9ewlrqyjr7px

🛢️ 🛢️ 🛢️ Oil rallying to cling to the 60ksat cliff. West Texas Intermediate Crude hangs on at 60,113 sats per barrel. That’s 1,663.52 barrels per Bitcoin. 🛢️ 🛢️ 🛢️

Here’s a Bitcoin protip that, if you haven’t heard before or figured it out, was a life-hack for me: 1 Bitcoin = 1.00,000,000 sats

Guys. We’re about to run out of Bitcoin.

If you haven’t watched this video - or haven’t watched it yet again this year - this is a perfect weekend to do so! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_160oMzblY8&list=WL&index=11

The wisdom has always been and will always be, because it is eternal: “When Young, Stay Humble and Stack Sats.” “When Mature, Stay Humble and Spend Sats.” “When Wizzened, dump your Sats on the open market every time Bitcoin makes an ATH and just keep dumping you fucking OG boomer who suddenly rebukes Satoshi and can’t gobble up the Fiat fast enough to engorge your OG ego/throat like No Face in Miyazaki’s “Spirited Away” because evidently YOU are the eternal downpour NOT Paper Bitcoin according to every “professional-ized” Bitcoiner who never actually sat a trading floor at any top-10 firm or hedge and somehow knows the inside of the world’s most sophisticated Rug-Pull Industry bar none so therefore we should trust Wall Street has open accountability because “muh bureaucracy” but in reality they operate freely as a “not my monkeys, not my circus” if you actually pay attention to the lack of circus master over more than two decades so— —um, shit, sorry. I believe I lost my train of thought. Where was I….oh, yeah. “When Wizzened, Stay Humble and Teach Sats.”

If you would sell Bitcoin because the Fiat Lords are at war with each other… …your children will be serfs their entire lives.

One of the most important things that Fiat investors don’t yet understand about Bitcoin is: There is NO insider information. Nobody is front-running you, nobody is using you for their exit liquidity. There is no other asset globally that shares this fundamental advantage.

And one of the first things DTCC lobbied to implement was doing away with “bearer bonds” and the issuance of physical stock certificates - which effectively allowed Individual investors to take personal custody of their assets. nostr:note14vdcz5mfwd48q22znchgttnrh0tl6t7w7g3ez0ssvkz6vawzhnls39ggzm
