Don’t recall a time when all the top-drawer traders I know are so completely at odds. No-one has a clue. Merry Christmas!

45 years today since this gem was released. One of the holiday staples in our house when I were a lad, along with Indiana Jones and Starwars. So many quotable lines! And that soundtrack, obvs.

For the kids(tm)🇪🇺

It is astonishing how quickly the iron curtain is coming down on freedom in Europe. Mandatory digital ID for social media (“to protect the kids!”) removes the last shreds of anonymous internet use, banking is obviously following with the digital Euro and the curtailment of physical cash. In Europe it’s overt, because the populations allow it, but it’s happening everywhere eventually. Shocking to be living through these times.

Goodness now I’m watching crypto as the only part of these forsaken markets that’s climbing off today’s lows in AH. Not sure what that says about the state we’re in.

Quick kid meal. Eggs, milk, seasoning salt, sourdough, bit of butter in the cast iron. Yum, eggy bread! #foodstr #kidstr

FIFA token-based collectables / ticket purchasing for the World Cup: absolute shit show. Site broken, again, with thousands either given tickets for no charge (which will have to be clawed back) or charged and not given ticket rights. Guess which camp yours truly is in.

My World Cup Right-to-Buy convert window opens in 40 mins. Wish me luck. #sportstr #worldcup

My market hopium this morning is that Bitcoin led down and is presently holding a (small) bounce up over 90. Solana, a little further down the curve, is up 6%. Stocks still look terrible, though 🫣

I had no interest in the lo/no alcohol beers until I tried this. It’s really very good. Give it a whirl! #foodstr #boozestr

No matter how many battles seem to have been won over the past few years, in the war the powers of darkness are still very much in the ascendency. The inexorable grind is relentless.

Can’t believe I went to all the effort of not telling my wife how well our Bitcoin was doing at 124k, because that’s the cast-iron jinx, and the thing went back to five digits anyway. Apparently merely thinking it is enough.

There are some things you get to revisit as a parent that were key memories from your childhood and are an absolute privilege to enjoy. Here’s my favourite page from Mog, which I’ve now got to enjoy with two kids, and every time I hear my mother’s voice. #parentstr #bookstr #kids

Apropos of nothing, the next two dates in sequence are October 5th, 2026 and September 4th, 2029. I have entered both in the #bitcoin diary. Somewhat gloomily.

Ah yes, the IMF bailout, which is just an accelerated sovereignty transfer to the globalist project, and thus would likely be by design.

Honestly if they take down Authy and Bitwarden and whatever the third party service is that sends confirmation text messages on behalf of banks, my entire online footprint goes up in smoke. Going to start writing passwords down again.

Canada, already on the express elevator, going down, quietly clears cloned meat for disclosure-free sale. Keep supporting local farmers, folks. #foodstr #ohcanada https://winnipegsun.com/news/canada-quietly-clears-cloned-meat-to-be-sold

The Franco-communists are at it again. No escape for you with #bitcoin, monsieur. Digital ID -> CBDC -> squeeze the alternatives with state monopolies of law, intimidation, ultimately violence.

One solitary Mars bar in the kids’ candy haul - must be the most expensive to manufacture and rarest in the variety boxes? Most prevalent this year: Smarties, Aeros, Kit Kats, Sour Patch. Happy Halloween!
