The whole time I was bitcoin mining, I had a canary with me. If the canary keeled over, that was my cue to get the hell out and happened to me in 2014. I'm not sure how philipma1957's canary is still singing.
I do not go back into my past to review errors. I just do not do them anymore. This is very simple stack game and hodl never sell. Unfortunately I did not catch on to it until much too late. If I simply just held my signature earnings and never spent them I would be a wealthy man. But no use crying over spilt milk. Just do not spill any more. I have to say… what strange trip it’s been! From wiring funds to MtGox … trading huge amounts of Bitcoin…all the exchanges that went belly up! losing 8 figures and continuing on… it’s not how hard you fall…but that you get up and face each day and continue on! Easy thing to say… most difficult thing I’ve ever done! It has defined me… Giving up a lifetime of drinking… quitting …facing my demons… I really believe that my trials refined me as a person in the smelting pit of life! Lots of things we would all do differently… carry on… that’s what warriors do ! Thank you all for putting up with all my drunken trolling over the past decade 😝 Cheers OGs n Hodlers … |

Things are so Wild now that trump getting his sixth oil tanker and sending 500 billion
dollars to his own account in Qatar are not interesting and the markets carry on.
Phil - What in hell are you saying? That Trump is taking money from the sale of the tanker oil and putting it in a personal overseas account in Qatar?  What kind of crazy rumors or conspiracy theories are you taking a part in? Financial dealings of political figures, especially with Donald Trump are closely scrutinized, and if such a situation as you say is real, it would be widely reported and investigated. Most people don’t realize that Obama repealed the Smith Mundt act of 1948 making it legal for the government too propagandize the people! They are all being misled and will eventually fall for everything the legacy media says. https://x.com/NeedACoffeUSA/status/1967403917807133180 We are in very dangerous times… I had to fact check this but was too lazy to do anything but check with a llm. Short answer: No — that claim is misleading and largely false.
Here’s the precise, factual breakdown.
What actually happened
1. The Smith–Mundt Act (1948) was not repealed
The U.S. Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948 (Smith–Mundt) was amended, not repealed.
The amendment was the Smith–Mundt Modernization Act of 2012, signed by President Obama as part of the NDAA for FY2013.
2. What the original 1948 law did
Smith–Mundt:
Authorized the U.S. government to produce information for foreign audiences (e.g., Voice of America).
Restricted domestic distribution of those materials, mainly to prevent the government from competing with private media inside the U.S.
It did not ban the U.S. government from communicating with Americans or engaging in persuasion generally.
3. What the 2012 modernization actually changed
The 2012 amendment:
Allowed materials already produced for foreign audiences to be made available domestically upon request
Did not authorize new domestic propaganda campaigns
Did not permit targeting U.S. citizens with covert psychological operations
Did not override other laws that prohibit government deception, misuse of funds, or abuse of authority
Key point:
It removed an access restriction, not a behavioral restriction.
Americans can now see what the government is saying abroad, which many transparency advocates supported. “It also gives the federal government great power to covertly influence public opinion” https://northwesternlawreview.org/issues/apple-pie-propaganda-the-smith-mundt-act-before-and-after-the-repeal-of-the-domestic-dissemination-ban/Below is a video explaining the Smith Mundt act “modernization” I love how the act is soooo modern… plus I never believe “fact checker” who are probably financed by NGO’s 😝 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3sziHn9p_s“Upon request” is simply more red tape that buys time while they do what they want imho Disclaimer: I’m bullish on Digital Gold Bitcoin….physical Gold…physical silver…physical Food and shelter 😝 |

Absolutely amazing! The only thing I would add is maybe another exit… in the event something lands on the cover…it’s his coffin. 😝 It looks very good, but it's far from providing security considering it's in the middle of the forest and the solar panels give away that there's something underneath. Trotters were decades ahead of these solutions; instead of going to shelters, they built one on the roof of their building  Jay had a good idea of a shed as a decoy for the solar panels … and Phil said a secondary air source which could be a vent out the roof of the shed. The second exit could be a trap door in the shed with covert pipe connecting the two places. I’m not familiar with trotters but will look into them when I get a chance. 😎 |

Tingly feelings intensify.  Phil messaged me and said sorry for wanting to beat me with a pipe…no harm no foul! We need thick skin in this business… This is a Bitcoin price speculation thread anyway… 😝 I’m feeling Tingly as well Cheers |

Typical market cleansing before the 2026 pump to ~$200,000.
Ok…ok. I’ll tell you what I really think… and it’s not good imho! As the US economy goes so goes the world… and the US is in the middle of an invisible civil war! That civil war will become more and more obvious as we enter 2026. The propaganda is getting insane and the raw sewage in the legacy and social media is escalating at a steady pace. As silver goes so does the economy…The price of silver could get out of control VERY easily at this point…big time shortage !!! The big banks have been shorting paper silver for decades so the price of manufacturing stays cheap…this will bite them soooo hard!!! If Silver continues its pace…I believe the stock market could have a major collapse…and we could have hyperinflation. Enter 2008 bank crisis on steroids…and one of the reasons for the creation of Bitcoin! Normally this would be a down year for bitcoin… and controlled into a tight Bollinger band! The tighter the band the more explosive the move… Bitcoin could easily have 10-20k$ moves on a weekly basis and could see 200k$ in 2026 !!! I could go on on all day… but I will spare everyone a text wall…😝 Silver- would probably collapse soon as it always happens with all things exponential (in a short time frame). It's too overextended. After that, maybe gold would correct too, but less so. After that, maybe a 10-15% stock market correction. Not clear about what bitcoin would do during all this. I am not increasing my cash/T-bills, but would do some buying later in 2026. OT: lots of moving pcs with the silver market right now… I think it rockets! Total shortage and China is buying it up for Mfg . Not the Hunt brothers or 2011… this will be an epic shortage! storm on the horizon… imho |

Can we finally go up? I am really tired of $87k.
Patience young padawan. It does not have to go far, I am just tired of seeing $87k each day. What is difference? $87k? or $95k? or $82k? or some other variation? Furthermore, $87k is better than sub-$80k, no? [edited out]
Truth be told… I have been known for drunken trolling over the last decade 😝 yet at times I showed some clarity and foresight. Like the time in 2015 when I coined the saying “Gold is heavy and slow… I have digital gold in my wallet and can send it around the world in minutes!” So take my posts with a grain of salt and maybe a golden nugget at times 😎 It is no mystery that Gold and silver are on a tear in 2025… most don’t know that earlier this year unprecedented amounts of Gold have been shipped into United States! We can speculate on why… but rumor has it that in the event of a dollar crash the US might create a gold backed CBDC. Gold and silver have been used as a currency for thousands of years …. and world governments like China have been accumulating it because they saw coming imo. Some trust in paper Bitcoin ETFs and paper Gold n Silver… they will be sadly mistaken because unlike Gold…paper burns and destroyed in the smelting pot … while gold just melts down and lasts forever. No Keys No Coins!!! We are living in a unique time …. one that will be studied for a thousand years or more imo ! Mama said… “They will say alotta tings bout ya Jackie boy but they can neva say yo ain’t quotable!” 😝 Remember your silly-ass breath in and out assertions in relation to shitcoins and their supposed season? The above clarification (quotable moments) is nearly as bad.  My Genius Dad would say “That’s life on the spectrum son!” 🤣 |

I could go on on all day… but I will spare everyone a text wall…😝 You are coming off as a bit of a doomer and gloomer, yet proclaiming that bitcoin is going to come out o.k., even if various otherwise doomer and gloomer scenarios play out.. and yeah, we already likely realize that banks have been playing without the assets that they claim to have. There are many ways that various aspects of the economy can implode (or is it explode?), and of course, we know that there are likely going to be various efforts to paper over the problem, yet the papering over might not end up working... Of course there exists paper silver and paper gold and paper of a lot of assets and even housing and manufacturing, so bitcoin should be stronger in such conditions in which it can be brought into possession, yet there are a lot of folks who are not taking their bitcoin into possession... so surely there are ongoing attempts to include bitcoin in these various paperizing and crashening events. Contagion means that several kinds of markets implode and cause additional implosions, even while they are being propped up.. and some are allowed to fail in such process. Aliens might land to help in the scare tactics, and of course, there may well be internet outages, too. You are preaching to the choir in regards to our needs to either buy or at least continue to hold bitcoin.. I mean actual bitcoin.... even though many of us go through banks to cash in and cash out of bitcoin, even though there could be good ways to transact directly if we can find ways to spend our bitcoin directly for goods and services and housing. And as OOM seems to suggest, it would not hurt for you to explain a wee bit moar better.

Would love you to be right, I’d kiss NotLambChop’s asshole to make that happen but I fear we are set for 2 years of misery and 50k BTC. OT: how did you get that awesome custom title? You must know someone… or am I missing something 😎 |

Just curious…where does everyone see bitcoin price hitting in 2026?
I’ve stated before that bitcoin usually trades down two years before the next halving… could it be different this time?
Lots of moving pieces and different players this cycle…
World instability… flight too safety with Gold and silver… Does the stock market crash… yada yada yada !
The jury is still out for me… but I think it’s looking like DCA is back on the table.
Cheers WO OGs n Hodlers 😎
