I am unsure if I have anything to do with the current and next difficulties.
But the source you provided has explained the difficulty and how it is calculated.
There was an interesting bug report and fun fact as well.
Thanks for the source, BTW.
Yep.. It is good to learn some of these various concepts, and sometimes dive in deeper at points in which you might be ready to attempt to learn more about the topic.
There might be threads on these kinds of topics that you would like to follow or there might be interviews/podcasts in which representations are being made that may or may not be accurate, and in order to engage in some kinds of critical thinking in regards to information that you are absorbing, you sometimes need to try to figure out what they are talking about and to see if there might be some easy explanation somewhere that helps you to get the foundation correct, and then to be able to build upon that foundation - including that the topic might become more interesting (or even understanding better what they might be talking about when various glitches might be found - as you suggested bugs that arise from time to time.. whether it is in relation to the difficulty adjustment or some other aspect of bitcoin, and surely I frequently proclaim to not be very technically educated regarding a variety of the bitcoin topics, yet at the same time, that does not necessarily mean that those who are better technically educated are correct when they make technical assertions that seem to get in the way of various basic incentives or some other stronger dynamic that might be pushing what is happening and/or what is likely to happen - including considering and weighing various known unknowns as well as attempting to account for unknown unknowns too.. and how much weight these scenarios might get when projecting them out, whether we are projecting out 6 months from now or attempting to project out 32/33 years - 8-ish halvenings from now).
My typical day:
wake up
get coffee and phone
jump back in bed to check the news while drinking
if (btc down)
get dressed and walk out of the house like a normal person
if (btc up)
get dressed and walk out of the house like a normal person
It seems that today is going to be as good as any other...
That's what aliens do to try to appear "normal."
Not that I claim to know any aliens or even believe in such.
Weekly and Monthly charts seem to show more and more 25Kish to find new liquidity...
Down, sideway, then BIG UP... Let's see.
Charts say? How did that work for you last time?
hahahahahaha
You are potentially saying 12% to 15% down from our current price and then even sideways for a bit at those prices (whew.. that would be pretty bearish.. but hey anything can happen right), and then after that we are able to go up... so our current dippening down within the upper $28ks, is not enough?
Hopefully you are not betting too much on those squigglies that may or may not happen, even though I do recognize that sometimes if we are flat for a while, there might be a relatively BIG dip down prior to going up, but just because that sometimes happens does not mean that such a thing will happen, and you are not even suggesting a BIG dip down.. you are suggesting a dip down and then stay down.. which sure, it could happen, but it sounds more like a wish than any kind of an objective prediction that has higher than 50/50 odds of taking place... though we know that you are not really very good at getting your odds right, and that's why you are still holding fiat from your so far 2022/2023 inabilities to buy below $15.5k...
Price... seriously... pissing... me... off... right... now... you... guys...
auuuuggghhhh
Chill
Chill
What's the BIG deal?
We are not even in wake me up territory, yet.
In order to get into wake me up territory, we would likely need to experience something like gallianooo's above prediction to come true.
In udder wurdz:
Chill.
aka Calm dee fuck down.
