#[0] Somewhat comforting take from Marty Bent on the chokepoint issue: https://tftc.io/martys-bent/issue-1323/?ref=martys-bent-newsletter Still I gotta wonder about Cory K's Citibank status ... and Strike's current problem getting Plaid to connect to Ally Bank. It still seems a bit like a gathering "Then they fight you" effect to me.

All major governments are printing money like mad, despite worldwide pestilence famine and plague. Our leaders constantly lie and spy and declare "wars against terror and drugs" in our name.

The heavens are filled with billions of stars of various compositions and sizes, each an enormous distance from the next and all spread out across a vastly empty multi-dimensional expanse. And they're moving. Now, chart the stars you can see from earth as accurately as you can onto a flat planar projection of the visible sky. Then draw straight lines from one to the next as if they actually were in that plane, to form crude shapes of constellations named after randomly selected gods and beasts. This brings an understanding roughly comparable to that derived from TA market analysis. It's not astrophysics it's astrology, it's not method it's mumbojumbology. Still, many otherwise sane investors depend on it to make their decisions. So fwiw, here is the current Trading View summary of TA indicators on Bitcoin:

Most of what's wrong in today's world would be corrected by just reorganizing 39 letters, as follows: Abolish: CIA NSA FBI ICE ATF IRS FRB IMF Diminish: USD EUR GBP YEN Establish: BTC
