Just did some nos2x house cleaning. I had a massive amount of nostr sites in there from the last 1-2 years. This feels much better.


Yesterday I was thinking "on-chain zaps are a stupid idea but less of a drama than some people make it sound".
Today I had some time to reflect for a bit. Dive into my think tank for a bit and now I'm thinking...
WTF?
I think we'd all agree that Satoshi was a Genius. Bitcoin's maths is basically perfect. He predicted the growth in computing power pretty accurately and overall he created an absolute master peace.
He also realised that money corrupts people and that "if Bitcoin catches on" everyone will seek to gain control either over the network or the supply. So in my personal opinion Satoshi giving Bitcoin to the World and then leaving was the most genius move of all.
I want a client that I can connect to my coffee machine and not a client that complicates my Bitcoiner life.
Fair point... on-chain zaps beats buying paper Bitcoin from Michael.

Sunday #stoopidlines
Just like we thought yesterday, support bounced around 78k and we're seeing a relief bounce taking pressure off the RSI and we'll probably go up to ~79 and then see what happens tomorrow. A reject at the 25-day MA (blue) would suggest a continuation of the bearish trend. Flipping that level would suggest a bullish Monday.
Now we wait for tomorrow.

Do your maths before making claims.
Let's assume you've bought $100 worth of Monero every month for the last 5 years every time you did your Bitcoin DCA. Monthly investment: $100
Period: 61 months
Total invested: $6,100
Approximate historical Monero monthly averages:
2021 avg: ~$220
2022 avg: ~$150
2023 avg: ~$150
2024 avg: ~$170
2025 avg: ~$250 (rising into spike)
early 2026 avg: ~$380 (post-spike zone)
This gives a realistic weighted DCA rather rather than an assumption.
2021 (12 months @ ~$220 avg) 1200/220≈5.45 XMR
2022 (12 months @ ~$150 avg) 1200/150=8 XMR
2023 (12 months @ ~$150 avg) 1200/150=8 XMR
2024 (12 months @ ~$170 avg) 1200/170≈7.06 XMR
2025 (12 months @ ~$250 avg) 1200/250=4.8 XMR
2026 (1 month @ ~$380 avg) 100/380≈0.26 XMR
We sum that up...
5.45+8+8+7.06+4.8+0.26=33.57 XMR
We assume current price ≈ $380
33.57×380≈12,756 USD = ~ 109% capital gain
