still here, just zoomed out until something happens : ARB is less than 10% of my portfolio, so quite happy to sit and wait.

Is it just me, or is there a repeat pattern of BTC dropping on the expirations date of the last Friday of the month, and then starting to recover pretty much on cue on the Sunday evening ? Seems to happen pretty consistently ..... and of course when BTC ticks up, so does a lot of other crypto plus ARB (hope l'm not jinxing it !).

yep l tried to buy some more this morning but first of all couldn't log in and then couldn't place an order .... pretty annoying

might be of interest .......

It is crazy, and l'm not trying to justify it for one minute. But it sounds to me like it is a fashion brand buying a piece of virtual 'real estate' where it will promote and sell its brand in the metaverse to a potentially very wealthy niche globally situated audience. Is that any more crazy than the same fashion brand spending the equivalent amount on rent on the high street of any major city ? Just trying to understand it, not justify it (though l do have a vested interest as l bought some MANA tokens a few weeks ago, which have gone up 604% in 30 days !)

this is worth a look ..... guess who comes out on top

by the way these question marks are ticks lost in translation in the cut and paste from Twitter

Plan B's laser accurate end of month ATH predictions : he says he's 3% off this month, but no surprise if it's at $63K by the end of today. $98K for the end of November ??
Aug $47K?
Sep $43K?
Oct $61K new monthly close ATH!?
Ok ok, 3% rounding error .. close enough for me
Next targets: Nov>$98K, Dec>$135K

A good write up for Argo ..... analysts say a strong buy

Yes, enjoying the ride with Solana, but then l sold a load of Cosmos a couple of weeks ago and now that's flying : you win some and you lose some ...... but Altcoins are definitely a good sidehustle !

Jolly Rodger, DubFud, Cryptobosses ..... some of them are just weird not to mention incredibly uninformed, immature, mysoginistic, homophobic etc : l imagine some angry geeks behind the online keyboard warriors

thanks for the post .... always good to get a fresh perspective :)

be warned, it's called Stock Twits for good reason ....... but quite amusing and l enjoy the memes ..... where my Fiat Uno ?

let's see what Blonity says ....

l'd rather be a sheep than roast lamb

that's very funny Delacey :)

oh no ..... enter stage left

@splatted ..... going back to the original point, 123.00 # metoo .... quite happy with that

l'm sure it'll all settle down in due course

Just reading through this, the original MIT / Nederlandsche Bank paper is primarily about the lifecycle and e-waste of redundant BTC mining hardware, which seems a perfectly legitimate question, whether it is 1.5 years or 3 years. What happens to all of those machines, can they be recycled for any other purpose or are they all dumped on a third world country like Ghana or Bangladesh for stripping down like a lot of other toxic electronic waste from the developed world ? The trouble with the article is that it reframes the original research paper really poorly, making generalised comments about one BTC transaction being equivalent to binning two i-phones, which surely is just nonsense ( the article has already fairly quickly been pulled from the main page). But as a shareholder in a carbon-neutral mining company (which l think is a great policy), l'd be interested to know from PW what happens to all of the old machines. Seems like a fair question to me.

A great dispassionate and objective summary by Blonity that cuts through all the blather and speculation : and the summary is, it's looking good, which is pretty much all l need to know ...... now, on with the day.
