-heavy snipping- (Keeping the quote short, but OP is worth reading in its entirety.)

Looking over on the Bitcoin Futures chart, this IS the sort of golden cross investors will be interested in buying. Price is above both the 50 & 200 MA, where price is notably beginning to find some buying pressure:



The death cross sell signal of $32K was notably awful, to the point where it looked like a fake-out


This to me explains why price hasn't capitulated further after the break of $42,900 local lows,



Nonetheless, a break below $42,500 tomorrow would likely result in a retest of $40K. On the 4hr chart, the bulls need a close above local resistance to confirm new local lows.



Now that enough spot traders are feeling bearish with the break of the 200 Day MA, I'm feeling a bit more bullish. Still 55-45 regarding a re-test of $50K before a re-test of $40K.

if the battery is in, some part of the phone is on, even if its just something that looks for the power button to be pressed. who knows what else could be powered but "dormant" waiting for some trigger.

no battery is the only way to be sure its really, really off instead of some kind of "soft" off mode.

google auth has issues if the phone breaks.

Stumbled on an interesting article: https://www.zerohedge.com/crypto/nation-states-vs-network-states-vs-crypto-claves?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+zerohedge%2Ffeed+%28zero+hedge+-+on+a+long+enough+timeline%2C+the+survival+rate+for+everyone+drops+to+zero%29

A few sound bytes:

"It was that no amount of trying to force a linear extrapolation of the outgoing systems were going to work because the advent of decentralized cryptography and non-state money had already changed the architecture of power and the incentive structures around wealth preservation."

"established policy makers are operating on the premise of a linear extension from their previous experience. Central Bank Digital Currencies are the purest expression of this assumption. Take central bank issued fiat currency, digitize it, add the ability to overlay ideological policy imperatives onto money (like social credit), and then everything just continues on as before.

But the underlying architecture of the global power structure is phase shifting into something else entirely and the reason why is because decentralized, non-state, cryptographically secured money is already here. The smart money realizes that this is a superior form of money to preserve wealth and autonomy. Everything else is secondary."

I noticed it is impossible to compete with Chinese sellers as they don't pay shipping.

Hello friends! I haven't written for a month because a series of unfortunate accidents which happened to my father during our vacation.

It was a joke alluding to the saying that you get seven years of bad luck if you break a mirror.

What now?

If a mirror breaks down, do computer nerds get seven years of bad luck?

So, it's not different this time... such a pity... anyways we can always try to sell at the top and buy back during the 2022-2023 bottom which is also a good thing. Just a reminder: don't sell all (or substantial part of your stash) and/or become a nocoiner/lowcoiner. In other words: don't mindrust it!  

Yeah... software raid seems to be the best right now. Some systems like old refurbished servers from HP and Dell, don't really allow you to not use the built-in hardware RAID, but you can always just configure it as JBOD or something and let the software handle the raid.

Then there's unraid and freenas / truenas.
