There was a small M class solar flare this weekend but it was of long duration so it was able to send some love our way._____________~___________.....

..... YMMV so keep your eyes on the night sky tomorrow night! (unless you're driving...)

appears to have been a strong solar storm, but not of great proportions,... These storms often knock out micro satellites, and sometimes even large satellites... but I had no news of the details,...

  These weekend events are always unexpected

[Hueristic]

I don't know why but I suddenly got a hankering for a banana split but I'm going to make one instead of going to DQ.

 I bought Chapman's French Vanilla 2 liter box for $3.99 and the bananas for $1.69 (in this case 9 but it's 3lbs of bananas - obviously the size of the bananas determines the number you get).  I'm going to use 150ml of the ice cream and 1 banana.   I don't use a lot of fancy toppings, usually cocoa powder and strawberries but I'm splurging today with some homemade dulceata visine (sour cherry preserves) from a friend in Romania as well.  Sadly, I didn't have any pineapple to crush.

 ice cream - $0.29925
 banana    - $0.18778
-------------------------
 sub-total  ~ $0.49

Not too bad considering the historic price of a banana split.  Here's where it goes pear-shaped: Fresh strawberries are $8.99 for 2lbs and the cocoa powder (my wife only buys the organic stuff) was $27.95 for a pound.  I'm going to calculate in grams because it's easier on my brain - I cut up 50g of strawberries and sprinkled 7g of cocoa powder on the whole thing.

  7g of cocoa power - $0.4309 (almost the same cost as the base ingredients!)
50g of strawberries - $0.495 (more than the cost of the base ingredients)

 I put a couple of teaspoons of the sour cherry preserves - you don't need much as they pack a lot of flavour - but since I didn't buy it, I can't add the exact cost.  

 What banana split would be complete without the whipped cream?  I just buy the can and leave it in the fridge it was $5.49 for 400g - it says the serving size is 15g but who uses that piddly amount?  Let's say 40g (to make it really easy)

 40g of whipped cream - $0.549

 This banana split was quite large - it overfilled a cereal bowl and was probably enough for 2 (that didn't stop me from finishing it off though)

Ingredient	Cost
Ice Cream	$0.29925
Banana	$0.18778
Strawberries (50g)	$0.495
Cocoa Powder (7g)	$0.4309
Whipped Cream (40g)	$0.549
Total	$1.96183

 I was surprised to learn that the cost of each individual topping was worth nearly as much or more than the basic ingredients combined.  Those toppings are a luxury!  If bitcoin is going to dip much lower, I'm going to have to go with just the ice cream and bananas and forgo all the toppings. Ouch! I just checked BTC again... maybe I'll just have the bananas.

I got a spare Ramen pack I could trade for one!

Hi there...

Here comes a new week in a new month.

All I got.

oh cool i can get my meds refilled today!

My doc told me I'm the only person who even asked him to lower the dosage on my happy pills.

[philipma1957]

we only had a 13% correction from the ATH... that's actually quite bullish imo

quiet I was able to get 1000's of dollars during august dips.

We do not want people catching on.

Maybe I will finally be prepared for up .

{hint not yet}

June      0.022895
July       0.010436
August   0.023510
Total dip  0.056841

and dca mining 92x.00103=0.0948

so I added 0.151641 in 90 days.

also some small ladder buys on kraken

0.00455  added on kraken

So just about 0.156 in 92 days

been a good summer.

I am pretty sure that BTCETFInvestor would have loved to have had his own day like that.. . .yet he is a bit of an ambiguous character in this whole scene.. which almost causes me to speculate that he might be engaging in his various drama pieces on purpose.

You should treat a Guest better than that! You know you were wrong to jump on the bandwagon. Don't you think?

 The current predictions are: auroras visible as far south as Virginia, Missouri and Colorado.  As far as aurora australis, viewing is a possibility for New Zealand as well but the prediction as far as timing doesn't bode well for NZ as 2100UST is 0900 NZ time and the peak density will arrived at earth ~ 1100hrs NZ time so midday.  It's all about the arrival time though and the predictions can be off by quite a bit.

I haven't tossed you into my ignore list because you show signs of thought, even though your social interaction skills need some work. Getting even the dude to reply that harshly is a first, I think. Any more bickering and you'll end into the pit. Deleting some more recent posts, besides the already deleted ones with your fake (or unverifiably honest) pics, won't help in my case.

 Oh no.

Last comment I am going to make on this: I have never looked into a person's post history. But now that I did, I don't know why I decided to even tried to white knight for him. All previous advice still stands; I just feel like I was yelling at the wall...


 Again, off topic... But with the current price action, does anyone know how long the M2 correlation theory will last? As the goalposts seem to keep moving back and forth. I am not even sure of an "exit plan" anymore, as I have only sold enough to cover my very basic lifestyle. But the plan always was when the time comes, try to shave off some to divest and hedge some of my gains. That being said, everything else looks so much worse in comparison... I learned my lesson trading alts in 2017 (still swallowing that pill), so I'm not looking to do that again (fool me once...you know). That being said, we're getting to the point where my supposed.63 bitcoin is borderline life-changing money, so why not shave off a bit to lock in profits? But to what the dollar looks so bad? Also, buying more strategy seems counterproductive... I feel I have finally gotten to a point that if I sell and can never buy back cheaper, I would be happy (we are way past Adams's 32k #). But then what do you do with all this dirty fiat??? Watch it lose value??? I mean, it's a great dilemma to have, but one I really need to figure out sooner than later. Or cry about another full bear, which I am not sure if I can handle. It's been so long that it kind of doesn't even seem real anymore... But it definitely has real-world consequences. Again, it's a wonderful position to be in, and I am grateful for it, but it definitely doesn't make anything any easier. I try to live life normally, pretending it's not there, but at some point we all have to live a little, right? I feel like this month is going to be the hardest yet...
 All that being said, I fully believe that the Number goes up forever (at least longer than I will be alive). This really is one of the only things I like about our current timeline we all have to endure!!!

   I am very impressed with the advanced technology of these
 observatories and space agencies to predict these types of events.

   Earlier today I was going on social media here, and I saw this post,
 nothing relevant, but it complements the information>>>

     

Aurigid Meteor Shower Tomorrow Night! 🌠✨
On September 1, 2025, the Aurigids will peak, sending bright meteors streaking across the night sky.
Under dark conditions, you might catch 15–20 'shooting stars per hour'.
🔭 Best time to watch:
• After midnight until dawn
• Visible across the Northern Hemisphere
This rare annual display comes from the trail of comet C/1911 N1 (Kiess) — and it only lasts a short while.
Don’t miss the show!

I was thinking that he/she could be a teenager or a bot: emotional immaturity and other signs (like no sense of humor and, especially, self-reflection).
Deletion of older messages could be some sign, but didn't we have a VERY senior OG who deleted almost all prior messages and then re-appeared only to go away again (mostly).
Accordingly, BTCETFInvestor is not on my ignore..but only few people (entities) are.

My take is most "missing" people either got very rich off of bitcoin and don't care anymore (like that 80K btc seller) OR got so scarred by ups and down that they cannot take it anymore.

I thought about selling some, but then could not decide the "why" portion.
Converting btc to fiat feels a bit silly and I am in no need of a bigger house..at least, not yet.
One observation: the market feels a bit neurotic as far as the mood is concerned.
Maybe too much change (on the market and socially) is occurring too fast and the market has difficulty "digesting" the info properly.

I have a sell ladder all the way to 303k

but it is not much of the hodl.

I only do the sell ladder to say I sold some at or near the top.

But I am still not where I want to be. In terms of stack

[Hottiek]

That's just it. I have been telling myself every cycle I am going to shave some off.... But the only viable option I can come up with is to "buy more." I am not greedy at all; I have no real responsibilities, no need for a bigger house or nicer car. And you can only buy so much Hookers and Blow... Now what??? As I am really not interested in trying to take over the world... Pinky and the Brain style...What else is there to do???

[d_eddie]

You and me both.
I think we just need a new mindset, and it takes a while to build that.

retiring early is the greatest luxury there is.

I dont need a big house or an expensive car. But I want to Quit my job in the next few years while I am still young

  I am lucky enough to have pulled that plug in 2017. I left my "work"/"career" and never looked back!!! decades before I was told that I was possibly going to be able to... Again, I am not greedy, and the .63 I may or may not have will cover me till I am long ded!

 The real mind fook is that even though percentage-wise it's just more of the same, doing nothing has inevitably been the best thing I could have done... So why is it so hard to just continue to follow the course??? The corn is still the same; I have actually decreased it over the years... but what that corn can do is beyond my wildest dreams... I can't begin to comprehend what it will be able to do in another 10...
