I have 500amps@480v available immediately in north east Oklahoma. Perfect for a container drop and I can do any of the electrical.

Sandwiched within walking distance of two 100+Mw hydros and two substations. Lines recently reconductored to take more power. Many Mw available with some phone calls. 

I can also assist in finding a building(s) in the industrial parks and assist in a move.

I can also be employed as a local, I am currently in Cali but can toss the dog in the truck and I am there. No big deal. I also have some overnight rooms available in my office building.

I also have a shipping container with 300 amps (240v split phase) ready to go, just need to fill it out. Want to fill things out 100%.

I think now is a good time to take some profits and set it aside.

It's a given when all the internet bobble heads get excited is a good time to sell some. When anything rises fast it comes back down almost every time.

Even if it goes up some more you still secured a profit, get rid of the emotion. When it drops below your sell poing enough buy back in a bit at a time.

The markets heated up in anticipation of a rate cut but now the "free money" pipe isn't running (yet).

Big boys know this and haven't poured the coals to ETF's yet, they anticipate better buying opportunities ahead.

I am willing to speculate that we will go mostly sideways until the next fed which will be sorta around the (bullshit) halving time.

Tech companies are having troubles and bitcoin closely mimics them.

Buy Buy Buy in my idiot Cramer voice.

Price rising for the weekend. Small dip at 5pm EST, Friday sell off for the after hours. It's going to interesting to see if the price swings will start mimicking those of the markets. Will the price go down when the markets open? When the big boys show up at work will they start selling again to move money into ETFs?

Friday afternoon showed a nice inflow ishares/bitwise samples I looked at. But ishares is a not even 2 billion yet vs 800 billion btc. Markets/ETF's (USA) are business hours and BTC is 24/7/365 worldwide.

I dunno. wadda you think?

Target (BTC) fixation runs deep in the BTC circles like no other markets or pressures exist.

The day ETF were approved both Gold and Silver took a hit, Grayscale is leaking billions and shitcoins are taking a hit across the board.

BTC ETF's exceeded silver ETF's in the first week, that's big.

Mt Gox is slated to drop 200k BTC soon.

This isn't a correction, this is a redistribution of assets. Money is being queued up to enter the ETF market. The big boys don't move fast they will sit back with their money (AMMO) and enter the fight when things start to shake out. Why buy now when it's dropping? Let it keep going then enter the market softly as not to overheat it and trigger fomo.

The big boys have boards and oversight to contend with. They don't buy in a day it could take months for their money to move. Lot's of due diligence has to be exercised.

I suspect some were hopped up on youtube and reddit shills (big names but almost always wrong) and now they didn't get the X factor they were "promised" they had to bail and make rent.

My speculation?: Big smart money hasn't even walked in the locker room yet to get suited up. Halving is about 3 months away with an anticipated peek in about 9 months. What is halving? Great time to take peoples money and secure profits. Bitcoin has one foot in it's big boy pants now, money will start to flow in dwarfing the halving bull run mania. I don't have a number, it would be bullshit but I am pretty sure it's going to up and to the right this time next year.

Speculation #2: Elections, wars and shenanigans. Russia could launch a nuke, China could invade Taiwan. Israel could nuke Tehran (wish they would),Pakistan could nuke Iran. However this is way more possible under our current limp dick president.  But with Trump looking fairly eminent to be re elected president it probably won't happen. With canidates bowing out the markets set records know that good times are coming back for everyone.

[Lump]

Lump some purchase at the first of the month from Jan 1, 2019 to August 1 2023, 56 weeks hence $5600 dollars. This is so I  can apples to apples with DCA. I know it's very aggregate and course data. 2021 and 2022 to current 8/23 would suck. Sure more finite data is cool (I have it) but this is an exercise. We don't have the luxury of looking at history and saying oh I woulda/shoulda/coulda done this blah blah blah. I could do it on the weekly or daily and it looks way different for sure, but I ain't giving it away, not sorry. What is really cool isn't some head and shoulders and falling wedge crap, It's a added the news in another column that affected it.

$5600 number is stems from 56 weeks.

Ol Bitboy went down in flames a few days ago. It's really not that shocking given the way he carry's himself.

I really don't care either way but I do wander through the Youtube/Reddit blow hards. So I hedge against what the collectively say because they are mostly wrong most of the time. There are some REALLY big names that seem to foster a pump and dump cabal. I chuckle when predictions are cast, it mostly hope not real data.

Be careful who you listen too

Want to diversify, trade my silver for your BTC in the east bay area spot for spot at that time. I have 50oz to work with. I could possibly take ETH to if it works out.

I could possibly buy it for cash if the deal is right approx  1k dollars worth. Small potatoes I know.

As of this writing our beloved Bitcoin is on fire as well as it's derivatives and shitcoins.

Rate hikes immanent and market backing up a bit.

The Blackrock ETF as they have a 500 to 1 SEC success rate.

Solid ground for sound money or is this a FOMO perfect storm?

I can understand the BR ETF exciting the market (the others are crappy spot ETF apps)

But why is the market other than BTC on fire? One must dial back the optics and look at everything.

Is this FOMO? As in another thread have we decoupled?

Trying to understand why the whole spectrum is overheating.

Silver/Gold is dropping as well that trade generally opposite of BTC.

What's going on?


 

I have some extra time on my hand and want to develop some side game?

What's yours? Any ideas?

I have property and plenty of water in Cali, maybe humble nursery like ground cover and tree's. Plants are pretty damn expensive these days.  

Everyone's strategy is going to be different because of many many reasons.

But how does it fit into your portfolio? Are you taking profits and moving it to other sectors? Are you shaving some profits into metals? Bonds / TIPS?  Real estate?

IMHO BTC tracks stocks to close to call it diversified in my minds eye but do you have stocks? Maybe into a ROTH IRA or traditional (tax deduction).

How does BTC play into your balance or diversification?

What does your pie chart look like?

Forgive me in advance I'm operating in a sleep deprived delirium.

Welp, Tejas, my friends on the wrong side of the red river have been doing a bang up job on mining. Texas also has a unique place in the union which about all I know is they can leave. If legal I think it would be interesting to adopt it at a state level.

Ideas? thoughts?

I'm completely ignorant on buying currencies as a hedge or a safer place than the US dollar.

With a strong dollar would it be wise to scope a few percentages of like the Swiss Franc?

Just a thought I've never had before.

Thanks

I live on a lake near Tulsa and these towns have money around. I want to OTC trade cash/btc btc/cash only face to face. Distance would be a function of amount. I figure I can make a couple of contacts on the web if I need to replenish. Not doing anything shady just don't want the banks and exchanges in my business, kinda the point behind bitcoin.

Is 15% commission either way a good starting point?

Any gotchyas ?

Learning resources? Alread been through the 'Tube.

Thank-you

Location near Pryor Oklahoma home of the mega giant Google datacenter.

I was going to mine but ASIC prices are out of my comfort level.

I can host (containers) and land 300kw to your container via 480 3phase available immediately, more power easily available. Fiber available.

Additionally I can source containers and help you build it out (especially electrical) and some local support.

You are welcomed to come visit after a phone call.

I you need a larger facility I certainly could build it and run it but that's entirely different scope.

Thanks-you,

Billy
