"Uptober" to much overhyped.
All eyes on U.S election next month.
One third of the way through October. I don't have a problem with where we are at, how we got here and where we might be going, even though I understand that people get their expectations up and vocalize future BTC price moves as if they were a "done deal," which could be problematic with their own finances and their psych if they played their expectations too much.
By the way, September was a pretty good month. No one can take that from us, especially since it is in the past. Where we go from here is another question. I would say that the odds for up are greater than down since: 1) we are in a bull market and 2) we are in no man's land (aka don't wake me up zone). Being in October it a bit of a BIG so what.. even though surely folks like to consider that king daddy gives any shits about what month it happens to be.

Well expected this
But it came earlier than I expected
People are going to start taking profit and shit before the election to be on a 'safer' side.Taking profits before the election and also in light of where we are, how we got here and where we might be going, would be dumb.
But hey, what else is new... some people happen to be dumb.
By the way, I think that when it comes to bitcoin taking profits is most always dumb because that is a trading term, and it is problematic to be trading one of the best (if not the best) of investments currently available to most people in the world... Sure people are going to do it, so we cannot really help people from their own inclinations.
Is "We will never see 58K again" in this room?
That is an interesting question... a few days ago, many of us were considering that there was a chance never to see the $58ks again.. .. but we have to get a bit of a cushion to really return to those kinds of feelings.
Images are already coming in from across Europe. I saw the auroras much earlier today appearing in Western Russia and Southern New Zealand. This image is from England. Take note if you're using your phones and maybe you can try duplicating the settings? Don't forget to set the phone down and use the timer to take images; as much as you guys are mostly diamond hands, I have doubts you could hold the camera diamond-steady for longer duration shutter speeds
I have a good feeling about this one as Aurorasaurus.org can't even properly display a web page; it's so busy. There is also chatter about fluctuating ground voltages being a concern for power-grid operators... but at values only about 25% of the ones which caused blackouts in Quebec in 1989. Oh yeah, the all-sky camera at the observatory in Hanle, India just posted an image of the aurora... ~33°N latitude! See it here -

edit: From the south of France - user could see auroras with naked eye as well as arcs and motion.
I admit that I forgot about this until I saw your image, so i did a quickie drive out to my location, and it was too cloudy.. just a light haze, but still enough to block any possible aurora that might be present. I probably need a tripod for these kinds of occasions, even though tonight did not even give me a chance to take a shot.. which my last couple shots were just trying to hold as still as possible.... which was maybe a few seconds.
I can feel your excitement coming through your photos. Those are some pretty nice ones, as compared to what you were saying yesterday about your never getting good shots.. those are really nice and varied too.. without power lines and surely some different angles with other kinds of early extras (buildings or trees or ground) in each of them.
Netherlands
Those are nice too.
