I will focus in the big 3. I bought some Avax too.

Some people still think it can fall even further, but I don't know

[Lex_icon]

I bought some BTC around 49k, Ethereum at 2,200, and Solana around 130.
I also bought Brett, Mew, Nosana, and Ondo.
I moved most of it to a wallet to avoid making a stupid trade and losing everything.

Btc $62,200

Seems to have mostly been due to Japan raising interest rates and ruining the earnings in USD that Yen borrowers were making.

Salud, Opti. Imagine buying when it hit $50k. You'd be +15% on that trade in just a few days.

I got over 25 emails last night all in different languages from AirBNB do you think that the 2 articles above have anything to do with the crash?

I'm so close to needing to cash out some for renovations too. Great timing.

Opti, I hear you. This is the Internet. So, I know that everyone hits 90% of their bets.

Re: BTC, it doesn't feel good to get destroyed. I encourage people to have a BTC holding. Fiat $$ is constantly de-basing.

[homie1975]

reversing course here on my thoughts.

stocks will recover much quicker than BTC and ETH will.

[k13]

Still needs a 90% haircut.

[homie1975]

buy buy buy !!!

Taking this on the chin. BTC = 53,800.

Yes, I watch all of Groubert's stuff. He got me back into it again. Like I said, a lot of new info out there.

Good stuff, Arky. He's done an amazing job.

You hit on it. How many times can you go down this Rabbit Hole?

I mean, the geometry of the shot. The Mary Ann Moorman photo. 1961 to 1971 spells out a change in the USA.

[Arky]

Yes, Arky. You connect the dots...and there can be little doubt about Conspiracy. It's just a matter of the details.

Mark Groubert has done the most extensive work on this. If you watch his videos, it's just a matter of Who? And Why?

I really think there's a direct connection between Eisenhower's speech and how things played out over the next ten years. How has the US economy performed since 1971?

Bump. I wanted to emphasize how important RFKJr's words were on this topic.

I've done a lot of reading on the JFK assassination. One thinks about cause & effect. Why was JFK so hated by many?

There are reasons for this. The Kennedy family created a lot of enemies.

Eisenhower's 1961 exit speech warned of the "military-industrial complex." When you look back on this speech, it's like he had a crystal ball. JFK didn't like the escalation of the Vietnam War.

JFK introduced Exec Order 11110 in June 1963. This was a sound-***********. It was designed to reduce the power of the Federal Reserve.

Fast forward to 1971. Nixon takes the US off the Gold Standard. If you believe RFKJr's comments, it was to fund the Vietnam War effort with fiat money.

You may have noticed my avatar? ;-) I picked it up from a JFK forum back in the early 2000's. It's called, "The Oswald Jam". Most people see it and say "oh, that's sick" and then they start laughing.

I too have read many JFK assassination books. Yep, it was a conspiracy and not a "conspiracy theory". In fact that term (conspiracy theory) was invented by the CIA to be a discussion ender. Label something "a conspiracy theory" and the debate is over. Very effective

JFK had his faults (married and still the playboy) but he always tried to do the right thing for "the people" - a peacenik before the term was invented. His assassination was a pivotal point in American history. Probably the first time the "deep state" showed itself. Things would never be the same again.

So much has been learned in the last 30 years. Those who still support the "lone nut" theory are the whack jobs, now. Oswald probably didn't shoot Kennedy or Tippit.

I'm gonna stop here because I could go on for hours....

Thanks for posting, Arky. Very good.

(34:00) of RFK's speech. He talks about Nixon taking the US off the Gold Standard to fund the Vietnam War.
...Earlier in the speech, he mentions how JFK wanted to introduce Silver coins. JFK wanted to reduce the power of the Federal Reserve.

Trump's speech @ Bitcoin 2024 - here. Runs about 50 minutes.

RFK Jr.'s speech @ Bitcoin 2024 - here. Runs about 50 minutes but the first 5 minutes are from an earlier speech.

Both pretty good.

I've written about this b4. In the USA, States' Rights still have value.

I could see a scenario where certain states put laws on the book that deem Silver/Gold/Bitcoin to be = legal tender. In fact, I think some of that has already happened.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Listening right now.

Thomas Massie of Kentucky is one of the few good guys in Congress - truly supports the constitution. He's working for "the people". Most of the others are working for their bank account. I got mad respect for the guy.

You're on the right track, Chucky.

For the ETH fans, ETH ETFs should start trading this week.

SOL freebie MEW up 123% in the last week, 36% today. SOL ecosystem is king.

[Arky]

I'm detecting increased volatility in the market. Total market cap now back at 2.44T after briefly dipping under 2.0T a couple of weeks ago. Still need to break over 2.7T and BTC over $73K to get over this hump that has been going on for almost 5 months, now.

-------------------------------------------------

Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad bought 60 BTC back when it was at $6K. I'd say he's doing all right.

Kiyosaki interview with Del Bigtree starts here. Part where he talks about his dealings with Bitcoin starts here.

67,300: Looking good.

Conducted a BTC t/a today. Very happy.

Ultra-quick process. Better than this computer bug that came thru.

Ditto for LTC t/a just completed. I'm convinced that people will see the value of Crypto transactions once people absorb it more.

Think about the Fiat money system:
1) Confirmations take too long.
2) **** is gouging 3.5% on every credit-card T/A. I now see Restaurants giving 3.5% discounts on Cash payments. In a small-margin business, they're tired of eating the **** fee.
3) LTC offers a quick transaction. Fees are negligible. And your currency doesn't de-base.
