The reason we didn’t have an “Uptober” is because the real one happened in August. But you should know that July and August are fake month names invented by the Romans, and October is really the eighth month of the year, hence the confusion.

Ugh had a lengthy discussion with my mother about months yesterday omg it made my head hurt lol
July and August were named after Roman leaders Julius Caesar and Augustus Caesar, respectively. The Roman calendar originally had only ten months, but these two were added later to honor these significant figures in Roman history.
The Roman calendar changed from 10 to 12 months around 713 BCE when Numa Pompilius, the second king of Rome, added January and February to account for the winter period. This reform extended the calendar year from 304 days to 355 days.
In 46 BCE Julius Caesar extended the Roman calendar from 355 to 365 days. By adding temp two new months to the year, making it 445 days long to realign with the solar year.
I'm fucked up enough as it is 😂
The "fake" August rally moved 48k BTC across exchanges. True Uptober is driven by spot ETF flows, not calendar semantics. Current 1 sat/vB fees signal weak demand for immediate settlement.
