Brief Bitcoin Update + Explosive Meme Play

And Why the Overall Market Looks Ready to Leg Up
Next week will cover my complete scale-out/reaccumulation strategy for my entire portfolio heading into what I still expect will be the first of “2 tops”. This week I will be issuing a brief update on Bitcoin and the overall crypto market, as well as elaborating on the high risk/high reward microcap meme play I posted earlier.

Bitcoin Below $60k as Miner Capitulation Risk Looms Heavy

The end of the world as we know it? No.

Nice analysis and interesting time for BTC...let's see if 50k holds..
Thomas Posey
Nic and Joe, in the podcast this morning you asked for ideas on things to read. I suggest you listen to this podcast interview of Luke Gromen: https://www.grant-williams.com/podcast/0028-luke-gromen/. Essentially, he argues that:
-- China has arranged with major oil producing countries to purchase oil in yuan. Nobody wants to hold yuan, but these countries get rid of the yuan by buying products from China. Then, to the extent they have yuan left over, China settles the difference in physical gold. 20% of oil transactions in 2023 were in yuan. China has been buying gold to enable it to settle these transactions.
-- Demand for gold has also increased because countries around the world are buying it as an alternative to holding US Treasuries. This is because the US has weaponized the dollar against Russia; as you know, the US actually simply took billions of dollars in US banks that were Russia's. In addition, countries around the world see the US deficit continuing to balloon and they are concerned about the dollar continuing to lose value, and eventually about a dollar currency crisis.
-- In 2014, foreign central banks bought 55% of US Treasuries. Since then foreign banks, in aggregate, have bought no US Treasuries; indeed, the balance of Treasuries held by foreign central banks actually declined slightly over that period! As a result, since 2014 the Treasury had to find other buyers so the government changed regulations to require banks, money market funds, and pension funds to own Treasuries. Without these law changes, the demand for Treasuries would have cratered absent much higher interest rates to tempt purchasers. The US has now, as far as Luke Gromen can tell, run out of entities it can force to buy Treasuries.
-- Yet the US budget deficit continues apace at about 8% of GDP per year. Someone has to buy the Treasuries the Treasury issues to fund these government expenditures. The interest on the US' total debt now is so high that if the interest rate were to climb materially, the interest on the debt would exceed US tax receipts (which it almost does now). So the Fed can't let the interest rate climb substantially. This means that the Fed will buy any Treasuries needed to fund the government deficits.
-- The bottom line is that a US currency crisis started 10 years ago and is coming to a head within a few months to two or three years. In a currency crisis, we will have inflation of the dollar, climbing commodity prices, etc., and the dollar will tend to fall against other currencies, but especially against gold and bitcoin. Gromen is invested in gold and bitcoin and suggested that gold could be $2,500 by October and bitcoin $90,000. He wasn't making a prediction, he was just saying this would be consistent with his scenario, as an illustration.
I found Gromen's analysis really convincing. I bet you'll find it interesting too.

How the banks bought off bitcoin

Episode 1: What has actually happened?
There’s a pattern that follows the subversion of an idea, and it’s worth knowing it well. To destroy a promising movement, it is not necessary or desirable to use force. All that’s required is to cultivate the idea inside an institution you can influence, then you just need time. Trapped inside a paternal institute, that idea’s growth will mirror the pe…

Roger Ver lost the blocksize war back in 2017 and as such is not a reliable narrator as to the state of Bitcoin today.
It’s true that Satoshi described Bitcoin as a peer to peer *payment* technology, but in actuality his expectations were simply too low. It’s a peer to peer *world reserve asset* first and foremost, and the payment system will come later. Hal Finney recognized and wrote about this well over a decade ago.
Expanding the layer one blocksize doesn’t work for the number of transactions that a global payment system needs to support. Doesn’t matter if it’s Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, BSV or any of the alternative shitcoin networks. And it’s important that anyone can run a node on commodity hardware like PCs or Macs. That can’t be done with larger blocks and would cede the network to corporations — avoiding that is paramount to keeping it a people-controlled asset (and currency in future).
Lightning is real un-fakable Bitcoin. Channels must be opened with a valid layer 1 transaction. It’s early days for layer 2 solutions to allow the network to scale into a low-fee payments network, so let’s give them time (and there is plenty of time).
Gabriel
Great post, really looking forward to the rest of the series.
People forget that every block in Bitcoin is an auction. This means that the smaller the space for transactions, the more expensive it has to be. I do think that there were some good arguments made by the "small block" team, but my position has been that the war over blocksize itself is what provided the opportunity for the community to be entirely subverted and the project ultimately sabotaged.
That said, I think it's important to avoid falling into the "true bitcoin has never been tried" trap.
For example, the arguments around scaling are irrelevant if people are using devices that don't have the resources to run the network, this is primarily a smartphone issue but applies broadly as well.

Bitcoin Is Beaten Down By The Macro Environment

To investors, Bitcoin’s price has been falling in recent weeks. This may be surprising to market participants that expected the digital currency to rise aggressively after the halving, but those of you reading this letter daily probably had a different viewpoint.

Need the 30% drops to get the 100% gains!! Since I don't own 1 BTC it gives me time to keep DCA even though may never get to 1 BTC lol

How I'm Thinking About This Dip

When people ask me what metrics I use to find DCA opportunities within a Bitcoin bull market, I would probably pull out a set of on-chain and pricing tools, and say 'it looks a little bit like that'.
Surviving in markets is not easy because our ancient emotional hardware is poorly equipped for the task. We often wait for things to feel very safe and comfortable before we make a decision to buy or sell. That usually that involves us hunting around looking for confirmation bias, just to be sure that what we’re doing is a good idea.

Institutional Investors Propel Optimism in Bitcoin, Rebound After Price Bottom

Although Bitcoin floundered around the halving, a price bottom has turned into slow recovery. New data suggests that institutional investors are powering Bitcoin’s comeback.
Despite several setbacks in the world of Bitcoin post-halving, the first cryptocurrency’s price has rebounded slightly after suggestions that the current cycle hit bottom. Bitcoin’s been having something of a chaotic month. Days before the halving on April 19th, the leading decentralized currency hit its all-time peak in a trend that bucked all pre-estab…

Fed Cuts QT!

Bitcoin to Set a Short-term Low?

Thank you Bob. What do you think of my speculation that the reduction in QT is to help our Japanese friends sell more of their US treasury holdings to support the Yen. Full bore QT plus Japanese dumping of US treasuries would drive up longer term interest rates in the US, impacting banks, small business, housing and the overall economy. Cutting QT makes sense from this perspective and no other, to me. Your reasoning for QT? Powell did not answer the question asked on why the QT cut.

Remember this Kerry. All the doomsday fear porn that never happen, because the so called insider is fead false information. And because the future is never set. Everything is a potentiality only. And only the fears and beleifs in it help manisfest it. The only thing to fear is fear itself. And all the fear porn should be asshamed of their participation in trying to inflence others in believing in it.
The planners tells the plan so you beleive it in. But it will not happen, because everything can turn around on a dime. It's called the butterfly effect. They do their best to convince the fools to beleive in their lies and plan to help them manisfest. Without our praticipation it fails. And it will FAIL. So you should rethink your role as a fear porn promotors. And start bringing solution instead of crying wolf all the time. By the way ELF weapon can make people beleive they are talking to god, ET, angels or having all kind fo visions. It does not mean its really. It's used to fool the naives.

Is it possible that if forensic evidence collected on the voting blockchain infrastructure is used to overturn the election that that will scare off investors and holders of bitcoin before the White Hats have had a chance to identify and find them?

Not only is the economic deck stacked against next generation, they have their own MINDS to contend with.
Think of the incredible programming they have received:

• third-party payers
• attention economics
Not only do they have a rough territory to navigate, their orientation is broken.

Parenting, parenting, parenting. Young adults have to offer society something society wants and will pay for. Few young people get that because their parents are not telling them that. “It’s ok to fail, to be a drunk, addicted to porn or be lazy. Not your fault”. We have removed the consequences of making mistakes like drug addiction, accidental pregnancy, failing out of school, losing your job, Studying something idiotic like psychology. Big G will help you provided you vote D. We’ll take from the wealthy and give you to you. News flash the wealthy are protecting themselves by running the ponzi scheme (Big G). The middle class is paying for it and will pay for it. Bet on yourself, get your head out of your ass, make your own breaks fight your way to the top. Don’T be such a p**sy. Stop hanging out with your loser friends and study something awesome and important to society.


I Oppose Israel's Atrocities In Gaza Because I'm Not A Psychopath

Young people are being incredibly brave and honest by organizing all these encampments. I oppose the butchery in Gaza because it makes me feel sick and heartbroken to see people losing their children. It makes me feel furious when I hear that Netanyahu does not want to declare a ceasefire because then Hamas will "continue" their attacks. I feel like throwing things at my computer when I hear that humanitarian aid is stopping again. I feel flummoxed that more people do not see that this is even worse in many respects than what the Nazis did to Jews and other people in those 1940's concentration camps. I am glad whenever I see people with gray hair like me supporting the people in the encampments and in the protest marches. I feel that the governments of our world are not making any sense at all. Neither is mainstream media most of the time. I have been listening to Farenheit 451. It has that same sense of insanity and nothing making sense as our world does right now.
Chang Chokaski
Thank you Caitlin for expressing so eloquently everything that is on our minds right now (and stating observations that should be clear to see for any moral, thinking person but unfortunately aren't).
The two-party system in the US (Democrats and Republicans) are 2 sides of the same neo-liberal, capitalistic, and imperialistic coin with superficial differences (IMHO). They (the power elite) make us fight amongst ourselves (instead of fighting power) and distract us with their smoke-and-mirror tricks while they erode rights, freedoms, & true democracy (while simultaneously enabling a genocide). They do this one small piece at a time so that it goes unnoticed (for the most part).
And that is one reason (of many) why I appreciate your articles so much, as you shine light on the shadows and expose (in your own way) and call attention to the important things we should be focusing on in order to challenge power.

Overview of Today's Bitcoin Halving

The largest risk to Bitcoin are Governments itself; Nation-states, and those who think they can control the world, like at the UN, the WHO, the BIS, et al. EMP attacks that target data centers and unknown points of weakness in the system would be a Black swan event, but would still be considered "localized events" on a grand scale and would only affect certain people.
With that said, the tail risk is low enough on these events happening where the risk-adjusted returns that Bitcoin offers in protecting against inflation, which is government theft, still makes sense, considering we are still within the early adoption phase as we've only had 3 halvings. With institutional adoption, this will only strengthen the Bitcoin model moving forward; within 20 years, Central Banks should become obsolete. I painfully observed Bitcoin since 2013, and only recently purchased my first Bitcoin in January 2024 (aggressively mind you, as I've been stacking Silver for years - I encourage all Bitcoin stackers to stack some Silver to sleep very easy at night)!
I sleep very peacefully at night, holding Bitcoin and physical Silver!

Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme developed by the NSA to allow intel agencies to launder millions and for the elite to evade taxes. They will kill it with a 51% attack causing or during the Great Crush to enforce Central Bank Digital Currencies tied to government wallets (Vax/PCR status, monthly carbon quota, Agenda 2030 compliance).
I'll post about that with all the evidence.
What’s your best way to wake-up those who don’t want to open their eyes?
Please share your most effective wake-up strategies.
The more the awakened, the sooner this nightmare will be over!
The most effective strategy is asking about the person’s opinion on some of these topics:
I start with the 20 million dollar question, while showing videos of baby seizures (money or babies always get attention):
If the person doesn’t want to discuss injections, then food is a good start:
Why is food poisoning legal?
How Rumsfeld forced the approval of Aspartame.
Artificial sweeteners, MSG, PFAS, Glyphosate ... go organic!
Then I’d follow with "Are you opened to see if the actual data matches your opinion?"
Then I start showing some of the shortcomings of the Pharma industry:
Then, show that every single person in the planet should be suing Pfizer and Moderna for deliberately hiding human DNA in their vacicnes, and Pfizer, for injecting an undisclosed carcinogenic monkey virus (SV40) sequence into the cell nucleus of the clueless biohacked, as officially recognized by Health Canada !!!
If he doesn’t like the topic, I’d show this video (all you need is 10 secs in the middle, who doesn’t have 10 seconds for you):
(caveat about the beginning: pot destroys your brain + “Raises Risk of Heart Attack and Stroke”)
9/11: two "planes", yet the third tower (WTC7) imploded, free falling on its footprint like in a controlled demolition. It was out of reach, and all 7 World Trade Center towers needed to be rebuilt, not the closer towers not belonging to World Trade Center... and the “owner” took an insurance policy for the WTC against terrorism, just months before, when no one was taking them … he didn’t show up for work precisely on 9/11 … just as his 2 grown up siblings (they never skipped work before). The inside information about the FUTURE 9/11 event helped masons make trillions by shorting the stock exchange: the records were deleted by the SEC so they wouldn't be prosecuted !!!
Watch amazing short and more evidence here:
Please watch all of this! Your life depends on it, because there's a plan to murder 95% of the global population by 2050… written on the masonic Georgia guide-stones: “Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 … ”:
- J6: The false flag operation of the fake riot was planned, incited and guided by FBI agents, who broke into the Capitol !!! The same mason-plot was copy-pasted to disband the insurrection against the stolen elections in Brazil! All intel agencies (CIA, FBI, NSA) were founded by masons and are run by them for their own nefarious goals.
It's such a mason manual that they organized the same J6 play in Brazil when it was proven that the voting machines owned by mason Soros, were rigged:
All political parties are compromised/infiltrated. For example, Italy supports vax pass and WHO Pandemic Treaty !!! Meloni's Government! People voted her for being against that!
- At least since the 90s, vaccines are weaponized to reduce the population, for example:
1. Adding hCG to infertilize women: lab detected in 30 countries
2. Overpassing the FDA 10 ng limit to human DNA “contamination” by 2000%, thus causing neuro-damage (autism, asperger, tics, dyslexia in 29% of kids, etc.) and childhood cancer epidemic (n.b. leukemia, non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas)

- You’ll go nowhere and you’ll be happy:
Elon's top secret: EVs cause cancer
Go green with gasoline!
- It's genocide for depopulation:
- Their main source of power apart from sin-empowered demons? NOT a coincidence that the USA left dollar convertibility to gold in 1971, precisely triggering the exponential government deficit coupled with the trade deficit and inflation.
This is the Achilles’ heel of all nations: masonic and satanic secret societies counterfeit paper money and launder trillions with which they buy Banks, seats in the Federal Reserve (the only private run Central Bank in the world), political careers and parties, puppeticians, listed corporations, media, healthcare corporations and organizations, universities, foundations, judges, etc.:
Depopulation or EXTERMINATION? (finest quotes):
Confessions of illuminati, David Rockefeller (finest quotes):
Ex illuminati Ronald Bernard: how the world REALLY works
Attali illuminati (“finest” quotes)
The way out of this mess:
1. Create an easy system for real money: private currencies/warrants based on real assets, goods, services, etc. (gold, corn, oil, distance/volume/weight transportation, labor human hour/minute, etc.)
2. Ban legal tender. Let the free markets decide which real-currencies/valuables/warrants they prefer to trade with
3. Ban paper-backed currencies (unlike real-backed ones of point 1.)
4. Enforce a Legal Banking Reserve of 100% of deposits (so banks don't create money based on air) and therefore there's no excuse for a Central Bank, because there would be no risk of bank-runs since all their loans are fully backed with deposits
Anything else you might think of?
Now, are you really ready for this?:
The full PLAN exposed:
16 laws we need to exit Prison Planet
President John Quincy Adams: “Masonry ought forever to be abolished. It is wrong - essentially wrong - a seed of evil, which can never produce any good.”
If you are a mason or know a mason, ask him to ask his 33° master to put in writing and sign it, who is "the great architect" and that he is not Lucifer. If he refuses, then he’ll know who he is really serving, Satan: tell him to get out of masonry NOW. Sooner or later he’ll be required to trample on a cross to get to a higher degree.

Wer schon als Kind angefangen hat, auf seine Intuition zu hören und seinen eigenen Weg - womöglich auch mit der Nebenwirkung Ausgrenzung - zu gehen, war während Corona stark genug und ist es nach wie vor und es ist äusserst notwendig, diese Haltung weiterhin nach aussen zu tragen, ohne in den Widerstand und den Kampf zu gehen. Meiner Meinung nach bringen Gefühle wie Rache und Fantasien von Bestrafungsszenarien der Verantwortlichen zu hegen und zu erwarten (zu fordern) absolut keinen Erfolg (das ist eine Kampfenergie auf Ebene von Dualität und weiterer Spaltung).
Es braucht einen langen Atem und viel Kraft für einen Wandel, das ist klar. Bei sich zu bleiben, seine innere Stärke zu üben, mit Humor hin und wieder etwas zu streuen (ja. Memes sind super!), im Zweiergespräch auch mal gewisse Aspekte anzusprechen und ansonsten zu warten bzw. seine Zeit mit Gleichgesinnten zu verbringen und in den Aufbau von Neuem zu investieren, bringt mittelfristig mehr Erfolg.
Es ist eine Frage der Ressonanz, denn je mehr aufgrund von Erkenntnissen, Gefühlen eine entsprechende Haltung tragen, umso mehr strahlt das aus und erreicht andere Menschen - auch wortlos!
Eine Anekdote am Rande: ich habe nicht ein einziges Mal eine Maske getragen (ohne Attest!), weil ich der festen Überzeugung bin, dass ich das Recht habe, über meinen Leib und mein Dasein autonom zu entscheiden. Meine Erwartung, Menschen würden mich deswegen z.B. im Laden angehen - denn das hätte mir Möglichkeiten zur Debatte gegeben - erfüllte sich nicht! Nicht ein einziges Mal wurde ich angesprochen, also setzte ich noch einen drauf und begann, mir jedes Mal die Lippen knallrot anzumalen (was gar nicht meine Art ist)....selbst DAS löste keinen Angriff auf mich aus....
Wer angstfrei ist, hat nichts zu befürchten. Wer erwartungsfrei ist, kann nicht enttäuscht werden. Druck erzeugt Gegendruck.

Wie ist es überhaupt möglich, dass die Lügen rund um die Impfung immer noch Bestand haben? Das ganze Narrativ liegt doch bereits in Scherben und wir haben unfassbare Schäden (neben den plötzlichen Toden junger Menschen u.a. zweistellige Zuwachsraten an Invalidität) ohne nachweisbaren Nutzen dieser Impfung.
Journalisten, die bei dieser Shitshow immer noch die Räuberleiter machen, haben keine Ahnung, dass sie sich damit im Sinkflug Richtung Schizophrenie oder Frühdemenz bewegen. Denn so eine Scheisse hält im Kopf auf Dauer niemand aus!
Neben den Journalisten sind da auch noch die Ärzte, die gerade den letzten Rest an Vertrauen verspielen. Wie soll man vor der Ärzteschaft, die bei diesem Verbrechen fast ausnahmslos mitgemacht hat, noch einen Funken Respekt haben? - Und die jetzt beim großen Schweigen mitmachen, obwohl ihnen die Patienten vor ihren Augen wegkrepieren oder dahinsiechen (nein, so dumm sind die nicht, dass sie den Zusammenhang nicht sehen).

Nein, von einem Feuerwehrmann erwarte ich mir, dass er dann entscheiden "NEIN!" sagt, wenn so ein wahnsinniger Auftrag kommt (Benzin ins Feuer spritzen).

People make a lot of assumptions about the true BTC "float" to impute market cap. But no one really knows what that is. BTC Treasuries can account for like 12% of the float. But, I think you can safely assume maybe another 10% is lost + Satosthi holds about 1 million BTC.
To me, that would be an interesting calculation, maybe the float is closer to like 15 million or so. Just a guess.

Root, thanks for this comprehensive look at the cycles. I still think one aspect of cycle psychology is missing though. That is, the length of the bull and how it ends. Obviously, bulls end when people stop buying. But what is it that make people stop buying? There are external factors such as the macro picture, liquidity, or world effecting news. But there are also inherent factors where price itself is the signal to a sufficient number of buyers that the price has run its course. You have used metrics in other charts of value and have delineated an overvalued line. Bulls generally go well over that line. It would be an interesting starting point to use the moment when the price reaches your overvalued line for cycle synchronization. This isn’t really a full cycle view but something more like comparisons of cycle ends. That might be very useful to your readers at this point in the cycle. Thanks again for an excellent write up.

So does this mean the spiral chart could break for this cycle?

Israel's Defenders Talk So Much About Feelings Because They Can't Talk About Facts

It's hard not to agree with Norman Finkelstein in his characterization of Israel as a "lunatic state" and a "lunatic society". It only needs to be added that most Western governments have come to share in this lunacy to one degree or another.

Honestly, in my experience, Zionists rarely talk about feelings.
Instead, they deflect, deny, try to change the subject, move goalposts, attack the messenger, make shit up,, repeat long-debunked claims as if they were Gospel, attack sources, stall,.demand philosophical proof of of obvious facts (but never on themselves), jump to wild conclusions, appeal to the Old Testament, demand special pleading, impose double standards, etc..
And call names. Boy howdy, do they call names.

I heard Macklemore's song a couple of days ago and was happy to hear it. Watching it is painful, but it is so good that it is being put out there. I was walking my teensy dog down the street today and a woman was coming the other way with a huge dog. He looked nice but big. I started talking to the woman and she was talking about somebody who was acting like an idiot and I just blurted out "like all that stuff that is happening in Gaza and nobody is stopping them". I couldn't believe myself. I had no idea who that woman was. But she looked a little surprised for a second and then she started talking about the horrible, sick, insane, nazi like stuff that is happening in Gaza. We ranted for about 15 minutes. It was good to meet a random person who actually saw what is happening.

Occupy Wall Street was full of energy at first. Until it was infiltrated by agitators and dispersed by Bloomberg. That was a local movement against bankers and the fed. This time it’s the whole empire at stake and it’s a national movement against them. It will be a little harder to sweep this under the rug. Not to mention these are the kids who potentially will be holding the levers of power in 20 yrs. We are in for a bumpy landing as pan Arabism resurges and threatens everything AIPAC holds dear.

Happy Bitcoin Halving! Reasons to be bullish Q2 2024
GM. Hope everyone’s been having a wonderful week. Life is good, everybody. Just wanted to say that. Anyways, enjoy. Executive Summary 📝 After what we saw last week, I repeatedly said that the fact that we didn’t break 60k was extremely bullish - after all, sentiment was max bearish, and we were at range lows.
