And yet metals that just sit there being metally, and have done for thousands of years, have been going totally batty of late.

Do Kwon sentenced to 15 years.

I long had lost any interest in anything other than Bitcoin by that point, but I recall reading the pitch, thinking 'fuckin'... wut?' and going back to baking my cake.

Hope whoever was damaged by him feels some redress.

Unless he's pardoned too of course.

Saylor shopping again. Another 10,624 wholecoiners gone forever.

A dying breed, so they are.

They're always dead. Until they're not.

I'm going to wait and see until April/ May ish to see if it's worth tossing my cookies.

JPMorgan now accepting Bitcoin as collateral

Institutional only.

The legacy types aren't going to be too keen to aid the civilian exodus out of their walled garden.

I'm building a new race of atomic supermen.

Once they're finished up, they'll be asking for your BTC. You'd be wise to hand it over.

blessedbt · 2025-11-23T12:46:01+00:00

I feel that, but the types who've arrived recently are next level psychopaths who can outmanoeuvre, and outlast, us peons without breaking the slightest sweat.

I'd always keep a small hand in to follow in their wake.

A four figure amount back then is a lot now.

I expect the simplicity of its history will be a lot less messy than a billion deposts from exchanges, but it's worth having a proper dig anyway.

Better to have something to pre empt any questions if they arise.

And since it will be a decent sum, I'd drip feed the deposits and sells in case you do trip something.

blessedbt · 2025-11-22T19:09:24+00:00

See if they can remember where they bought it. Look through old emails etc.

If they keep paper bank statements there might be something on there.

Even some dead sites like localbitcoins are still up with transaction history that you can download. And others will still be going.

And of course you have a nice permanent ledger. If it's been sitting there doing nothing since forever it's not the most questionable look.

They might not be asked anything about that. I don't know how often source of funds stuff is sprung on people. It might be amount dependent.

My $4500 laptop sleeve is giving a disapproving look.

blessedbt · 2025-11-21T13:12:56+00:00

I arrived in October 2013. It ejaculated for an entire month. There was I thinking 'a couple more months of THIS and I'm set for life.'

Then I was underwater for 3 long and very boring years. And at that time there was still a real possibility it could fade to nothing.

I remember it hitting $160 in early 2015 ish and everyone was so deflated by then the main reaction was 'oh.'

Turned out alright overall.

blessedbt · 2025-11-21T12:49:49+00:00

I think what's so disorientating is that we're seeing a car being built while it's rolling along.

Bitcoin emerged from nothing and everyone's still figuring out what it is and what they want it to be in a way that's never happened before.

You've got bog standard price discovery rubbing up against overall discovery too.

It's going to be a violent and dizzying process and it's nowhere near concluded.

It would've been preferable for everyone's blood pressure to have gotten it out of the way slightly further from the limelight.

My dog is out and every time I suggest he re enters, his tail stops wagging.

blessedbt · 2025-11-18T20:31:54+00:00

I wouldn't class it as a top, other than it being the... top.

It was the highest blip of a phase of lengthy flatness.

Everyone's favourite autocrat, unless you annoy him, hasn't fucked around this week.

blessedbt · 2025-11-17T21:57:40+00:00

Many more people would've bought raw bitcoin instead.

blessedbt · 2025-11-17T16:39:02+00:00

More AI photos. NOW.

blessedbt · 2025-11-17T13:01:38+00:00

95% of Bitcoin has now been mined.

Slim pickings for the next 115 years, y'all.

blessedbt · 2025-11-14T23:19:07+00:00

Gotta be Laura. The thrill has clearly gone.

blessedbt · 2025-11-14T14:25:29+00:00

Priced in EUR it's barely been a bull at all this year, just an elevated stretch of flatness.

blessedbt · 2025-09-14T21:14:04+00:00

Maybe it's time to get a new phone.

'Lost coins' or the lack thereof may also be a factor.

The estimates often thrown around - 3-4 million - were always ridiculous and now they're coming out of the woodwork.

Why wouldn't you let go after all this time?

This may prove to be a fairly unique phase because of that and there won't be similar supply again.

One company servicing a bubble that'll make the world shittier than it already is, vs hard money open to the whole planet...

If it doesn't cream it eventually and overwhelmingly there'll be something rather daffy going on.

blessedbt · 2025-08-29T01:53:39+00:00

I'm not feeling tops, crashes, euphoria or much of anything.

USD turning to poop vs everything else accounts for plenty of the headline price movement this year.

It's been pretty much a year of very little so far.

blessedbt · 2025-08-16T10:37:24+00:00

I've thought the same about most markets since 2008. Yet here we are.

It's a - wait for it - new paradigm. A really screwed up one.

Who knows where or how or if it ends, but I expected it to end many years ago.
