Am going to get myself upto 100 pushups again. Just for the challenge. Did 70 yesterday. Have also noticed I can't do more than 50 sit-ups straight before cramping up. Pathetic. Should be capable of 100 easily. Used to do 200 pushups and 300 sit-ups straight as a teenager. Am nearly 50, so no hating. 🤣

Will keep banging this drum. Attempting to be a sound money and real asset advocate is shooting yourself in the foot if you only focus on a single asset. Gold and silver is already rallying once the Hong Kong exchanges rallied. Our account is crypto focused, but sound money wins the day - Bitcoin, Gold, Silver and other cryptocurrencies offer more transparency than fiat.

Anthony "Pomp" "Pompliano" Vs "Peter Schiff"... Bitcoin Vs Gold. Am not certain this discussion is worth having any more. Am uncertain as to whether watching it will reveal anything new. We must also question whether tribalism in Assets, when both are different versions of sound money, makes sense. The one obvious truth is that the single biggest obstacle to either becoming money are governments and financial institutions. One of the biggest hurdles to physical metals becoming money again is authenticity. The second is proof of reserves. The best way to think of crypto is as Kyosaki said - the people's money is bitcoin, god's money is gold, and government money is fiat.

Events such as the recent crypto flash-crash, the silver and other assets big extended rises and sharp falls in a day illustrates some important considerations; - Take some profits - Accumulate other assets when they are relatively cheap - if the asset makes sense long-term, stay in and ignore the noise Perhaps there is something more to it than the manipulation narrative? Perhaps we are in a state of hypernovelty and these kinds of events are becoming more common - as time speeds up! The event stream is out best chance of making sense of markets?

It makes no sense for one tribe to sit there giggling like schoolgirls when another hard asset falls a lot in price. Never once mocked goldbugs when Bitcoin was going nuts. Just as not mocking crypto holders when Gold started flying. It is a pitiful existence. The new world sound money advocates are striving for will need real assets, both physical and Blockchain based. It isn't a good look to be sat there being so negative. Take the good bits from the bitcoin haters and the good bits from physical metals haters. Some of their arguments help increase understanding. https://www.cryptostatto.com/article/Crypto Opinion/Blog/Tribalism-in-Assets-Gold-Cryptocurrency-Altcoins-14-Jan-2026

The lesson to be learned from silver, for me, is that it reveals the mania of markets. Those into cryptocurrency, in particular bitcoin have seen this hundreds of times before. The big recent one was the cryptocurrency rug pull. Assuming nefarious actors, these rugpulls have the effect of wiping many out and creating a "wall of worry". The same has happened to Silver today as it happened to Bitcoin. My stance is that you have to take some profits off the table when big rises happen, unless you are looking at holding for multiple years. These dips are what make gains for those with a trading mindset.

Too in the thick of releasing software, but honestly think that will be moving most machines off windows by the end of 2026. Most stuff is containerisable. Windows 11 won't run on any of my existing hardware, am certain could run windows server on a machine and dispense with the windows 11 nonsense. Then there is all the AI and privacy concerns. Maybe an option. For now, number one focus is getting out a cloud version of our dedicated trading software...

Let us be honest here. If you believe in sound money and the confidence of the Blockchain, you should have been in Bitcoin, Gold, Silver and other cryptocurrencies. You won't want to sell bitcoin to scramble into precious metals and vice versa. Instead, intelligently exit or remain, your choice, but please don't sit there waiting for the latest fed announcement. Gold has done 6% today. Silver swung back and is nearly 10% up. Sitting there crying that bitcoin is not following suit is to reject all the long-term believers in physical metals.

It seems like a Gold and Silver are the latest assets to suffer neverending YouTube videos from people that have zero idea where is the price is going telling you where the price is going.

Dinner parties mostly involve people saying AI 🤣

Let's talk about Macron's sunglasses for a moment? Trump's response? It is far easier to waste our time on these clown shows than focus on using amazing decentralised solutions and its capital. Let's do better than this.

Am writing a post about how much I love bitcoin.

Haven't played the Arctic Monkeys - "Whatever People Say I Am That's What I'm Not" in a very long time. It is a great album. Just don't expect too much from "Humbug"!

It is looking abject for altcoins and even bitcoin right now. Stock markets are down too. Gold has done 2% today. It has looked abject for many altcoins, some good projects in particular, for years now. Bitcoin maximalists will still scream they are buying the dip, what with - air? 🤣 "Diamond gloves". Right now, owning diamond gloves would be a good play haha. If anyone is selling diamond gloves, drop us a line. Many perpetual futures traders will have got shaken out with bitcoin. It was $96,800 a week ago days and is now around $88,700. BTC will soon have reverted to its price impressive rise since Jan 1st 2026. The one thing we will not be doing is buying the dip on anything with cash. This is the time to gain coins on losses. Our approach is to review existing altcoins positions that are up against BTC, put in limit order sells, if they fire, buy them back at a price lower to get coins at a loss. Ie, swing trading. The other thing we are doing is to keep building. Keep the faith.

Tribalism in Assets Gold Cryptocurrency Altcoins 14 Jan 2026

This is where the devil is in the detail really. Always read through articles and think about the real ramifications of it. On the one side, bigger Cryptocurrency companies pushing back against increasing legislation because of interest on crypto assets, with banks wanting a piece of the action. Yet, this legislation is really about government trying to strangle a totally new innovative space, the advent of stablecoins. With stablecoins being largely about being backed by treasuries.
