That reminds me, we couldn't even find let alone afford eggs to dye for Easter this year, so we used small potatoes instead.

I just did a little math and looked over the MSTR NASDAQ inclusion data. I was a bit shocked at my conclusion. I think that Bitcoin will peak the week before MSTR is included in the S&P 500. This will likely be the week before the Q3 rebalancing that occurs on September 19th (it will be announced on September 5th kicking off the mother of all FOMO).

What shocked me about this was that it aligns perfectly with my prior prediction that the price of Bitcoin will peak on September 16th based on the 4 year cycle.

I think we could be seeing another perfect storm with Trump continuously mentioning August as a timeline to fix the tax code. Maybe we see the US government buy 200,000 BTC at the same time the S&P 500 funds are acquiring Bitcoin?

September 16th. Watch for it.

You mean 2 or 3? The profligacy... some people are shameless!

The Global M2 Money Supply vs BTC correlation (with a lag) is running perfectly still. $150,000+ by mid July?

I can definitely live with that.

....

So Nvidia is buying Bitcoin for its balance sheet and the United States is selling gold to buy Bitcoin. Arizona will create a strategic Bitcoin reserve in the next few days to start stacking Bitcoin, we’re 5% away from liquidating 8 billion dollars worth of shorts and GameStop is still accumulating their Bitcoin purchase. Sounds bullish.

Here is a link to a video that lays out something that's happening in the Core GitHub right now, which is a little bit annoying to say the least.

Is it just me or his Peter Todd always rustling up these kinds of problems?

I think Kratters conclusion, which is these things are complicated, but when you start to see conversations being shut down, it's a red flag is pretty on point.

Sadly, this has the potential to turn into a fork. I kind of hate that it's happening right now for sure, and it sort of seems like this is why we can't have nice things.

I also can't believe that I'm seriously considering switching to Knots. Considering the goofy number of nodes that I run, it's going to be a pain in the ass.

Forgive me if this has already been posted or is being discussed.

A 90 day pause is just about right for Bitcoin to resume the bull market towards $150.000 - $200.000 range followed by a 30% summer dump with a face melting FOMO pump in Q4 2025.

Some new fud.

Wooly mamoumth next.

I’m good, not selling.

Think the bull market could be over though.

cash is fine.

i do not mind having too much of it.

I’m definitely almost there. I can see how the last cycle was messed up by the FTX fraud and I can grasp the concept that the ETFs pulled in investment and moved the cycle forward as a result this time. However, I want to believe this is just Trump showing us the Art of the Deal. He isn’t a guy to buy tops forever like Michael Saylor and I still have a shred of hope that Trump caused this calamity to get the US a good buying opportunity. Did people expect him to pump the price before the US buys their stack? Time will tell… I’m still targeting September 16th as the top for this cycle, but I do have my doubts.

halving should still have an impact...on miners.
If the price does not increase at least 2X between halvings and energy cost and difficulty rise/efficiency stays the same (stable), miners would become not profitable.
Energy cost is increasing relatively slowly, and it is possible that difficulty rise and efficiency improvement would cancel each other out, albeit it seems that difficulty is still rising faster for now.
I am not surprised that miners try to accumulate bitcoin as a result.

I sure hope you’re right but I’m beginning to have my doubts. Days like today in my experience are usually followed by months of pain. Hopefully we’re just seeing tax selling and tariff panic and not a real downturn, but I’ll admit my faith is being tested. If this was my first rodeo I’d be panic selling here.

Nah, he seems close to basically, tapping out (needed to promise 12% yield to make a sale), unless btc goes up 2x...then he would renew.
Right now, he is not able to greatly add to his stack and with the upcoming competition from, hopefully, BSR, he won't be able to add too much, imho.

Tends to frazzle my memory. But then, I'm old.

Then again I hand make these tinctures...  Well...
