when 26k?

I did a tiny bit of research this morning and I noticed that on Jan 5th a previously hidden sunspot, AR3182 - which was making a lot of noise on the other side of the sun, unleashed an X-class solar flare as it rotated into view on the eastern limb of the solar disc. As it traversed the sun it unleashed two more X-class flares directed at earth on Jan 9th and 10th. These flares result in massive amounts of radiation which, if earth-directed cause radio blackouts, grid disturbances, damage to orbiting satellites (as well as being serious threat to orbiting astronauts), changes to earth's magnetic field and long-term auroras in the upper atmosphere.
Solar activity is on the increase and there is a good change of x-flares this weekend. Help is on the way.

Jupiter9? Is that uie-pooie? It's been a while, and "we" have missed you.

Bitcoin has held up well through all this chaos even as traditional markets are breaking down. That's a good sign for now and hopefully the "cycle" continues to overpower global investment conditions. It would be pretty nuts if traditional markets and real estate all fell while Bitcoin saw another boom cycle. It's almost hard to believe it could be possible, as we would all be in very good positions to invest in traditional assets.

I cannot disagree with you about the reality of this part, even if it comes off as a wee bit koo-koo and like a real out of touch long shot, it is likely NOT as much of a long shot as some folks might consider it to be.. maybe even higher than 3-5% odds.. perhaps? Maybe I am being too generous in my getting caught up in the fantasy, too?

"Associated Press
Ukraine's leader gives qualified support for China proposal"

this could be a very good white swan event coming soon.

I think it would be a good event for all of mankind. This war has gone way too far and I feel like our leaders are turning into warmongers.

maybe I invest a little bit ... but for all these traditional investments you need middlemen or someone else to secure your property.

I rather have 1$ in a property that I own 100%, that is portable and non-confiscatable than having 10$ in a property that is only mine as long as someone grants me the permission... fuck them I'm sailing the ocean with BTC or going down with the ship

To each his own. There can be some value in having some footing "on land" even though each of us knows that there is risk with holding that kind of value, so it seems to be a matter of how much to allocate rather than NOT to allocate, but still I don't have any problem if some people would prefer to NOT have any on the ground properties... ..

Let's say that you have $10million in BTC using the 200-week moving average as your evaluation basis, and so that is around 400 BTC.. Whether you have other assets or not, then why should you give very many shits if you put $1 million into property or even half a million and still just have a place to hang out.?. and maybe even property taxes are not very much to have a place that you like and prefer to own rather than rent .. let's say that you have to pay $5k to $10k per year for property taxes and then maybe you have other expenses related to the property that are similar $5k to $10k.

Does that seem like a lot to gamble with? Yeah, it could be taken away,.. but still life style choices, no? Your boat could be taken away too, no? You just keep renting them? what are your options to live outside of the world? Just get into shitty situations trying to create islands and bullshit like that and speaking of bullshit like that, what happened to Elwar? Hopefully, he is o.k... but still gotta consider risks and even do you want to get killed because you created something without protections? and/or without sufficient security through obscurity? Yeah, maybe you are not going to make some of the same mistakes as Elwar in terms of putting himself at personal risks, and I wonder how much he might have lost on that ship business to create a floating seastead.? and maybe he did not lose money, but seems like a lot of work to attempt to "live outside" of some of the confines of having real property that might exist in jurisdictions in which you might be o.k. with accepting of some of the risks that they can take it and that they are going to charge you rent (taxes).
