So guys I decided to see if there was a site that actually does a decent job at testing ps's these days and after a bit of searching I found this site.

https://hwbusters.com/psus/

From a cursory glance of their testing methodology they seem to be nailing it.

*I have no clue if they are biased by outside forces atm.

The site looks cool but they want to kill me with ads. Each steps comes with ads which almost wear me out.

 I'm not seeing any ads because

 https://ublockorigin.com/

 ↑ I use that.

Works great still on YouTube for me as well.

Happy new year from down under fellas; hope BTC is good to us in 2026!

Happy 2026 WO Gang.
If you want to study, I can share this list of all the major Crypto Outlook of 2026 with you:

• BlackRock
• JPMorgan
• Grayscale
• Coinbase
• Fidelity
• VanEck
• Bitwise
• Pantera Capital
• The Block
• Bitcoin Suisse
• Andreessen Horowitz
• Galaxy
• Messari
• Silicon Valley Bank
• Delphi Digital
• 21Shares
• Bankless
• CoinGecko
• Tiger Research
• Hashdex
• CoinShares
• TRM Labs
• Rain
• Insights VC

Putting all these links on an AI parser, i got the following recap on Bitcoin Price Predictions:

1. $250,000: The study by Galaxy Research, titled "26 Crypto, Bitcoin, DeFi, and AI Predictions for 2026," notes that options markets are currently pricing in odds for this high-end target by the end of 2026.
2. $180,000: The Bitcoin Suisse report, "Crypto Outlook 2026," forecasts that a steepening path of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve could set the stage for Bitcoin to approach this price level.
3. $150,000+: In the report "CoinShares 2026 Outlook: Digital Assets Move From Disruption to Integration," analysts suggest that a "soft landing" macro scenario accompanied by productivity gains could push Bitcoin beyond this value.
4. $150,000: Galaxy Research identifies this as the potential upper boundary for Bitcoin in 2026, even if it turns out to be a relatively "boring" year for the asset.
5. $140,000: Both Coinbase Institutional in its "2026 Crypto Market Outlook" and CoinShares in its 2026 Outlook define this as the upper limit of their "central case" or "plausible" trading range for the year.
6. $130,000: Galaxy Research reports that options markets are pricing in equal odds for Bitcoin reaching this level by the end of June 2026.
7. $110,000: This figure is cited as the lower bound of the "central case" macro-driven cycle range by Coinbase Institutional and CoinShares.
8. $100,000:** In the **Bankless** podcast episode **"12 Big Crypto Predictions for 2026 | Ryan & David,"** the hosts discuss a scenario from analyst Ben Cowen where Bitcoin reaches this level during a 50-week simple moving average return$.∗∗GalaxyResearch∗∗alsonotesthatBitcoinmustfirmlyre−establishitselfabovethe∗∗100,000–$105,000 mark to regain its bullish momentum.
9. $70,000: Galaxy Research indicates that this is a potential low-end finish for a "boring" 2026, and is also being priced by options markets as an equal-odds outcome for June 2026.
10. $50,000: The Galaxy Research study mentions that options markets currently view this as the low-end possibility for Bitcoin by the end of 2026, reflecting the current high level of near-term uncertainty.
Note: While they do not provide a specific maximum numerical target, both Bitwise (in "The Year Ahead: 10 Crypto Predictions for 2026") and Grayscale (in "2026 Digital Asset Outlook: Dawn of the Institutional Era") predict that Bitcoin will set new all-time highs during 2026. According to Galaxy Research, the all-time high reached in 2025 was $126,080.

The market remains calm despite holiday seasons…
But still, thanks. We're not facing the bear season yet.  

I'm still expecting the same trend next month. Can be wrong, maybe?

What trend are you talking about?  

You expect us to stay within our current range of maybe $5k to $94k or what?

You are a little vague in what you are saying Rufsilf - even though I agree with your proclamation that the price action that we have experienced so far (presumptively since October) has not put us into bear season, and in my own perspective, if we can agree that we are not yet in bear season, then logically we must still be in bull season, since we can only be in one of the seasons (either bear or bull) at a time - even though frequently the transition between seasons tends to not be very easy to identify if and/or when such transition were to be taking place.. which is part of my reason for entering into the bet with LFC in regards to my assessment of his way too premature presumption that we had gone into bear season...which I am pretty sure that he (LFC) was whining about it even less than 2 weeks after our October 6th ATH of $126,272.  So yeah there surely has been a lot of whining about bear season in the last 2.5-ish months, not only from LFC... even though he took some measures to attempt to protect himself, so he is sitting in a lot more comfort in recent times - hahahahahaha.. less whining but glee about supposedly being right, but he is never happy, and so he is still blurting out from time to time, including calls to $50k-ish.

Happy new year from down under fellas; hope BTC is good to us in 2026!

Happy new year.  

There might be more than two interpretations of "good" in regards to the BTC price..

1) goes up

2) does not go down

and of course there is the ever-green interpretation that many longer term bitcoiners likely subscribe to the assessment that "bitcoin has been bery, bery, good to me."  So, with the longer term.. there is an already assessment that "we have already won" rather than contemplating whether or not "we are going to win."

Don't get me wrong.  Even though I share the assessment that "we have already won," the battles are likely going to continue for quite a few years, which may well affect price but also affect liquidity abilities across various jurisdictions - acceptability of paper bitcoin channels and the ostracizing of the empowerment tools on the direct to direct channels... which might be another justification to for us to be ongoingly whining about the jailing of the Samurai developers (to the extent that we have something to be justified in whining about).

Happy 2026 WO Gang.
If you want to study, i can share this list of all the major Crytpo Outlook of 2026 with you:

First of all:  Fuck crypto.

Second of all.. that is an interesting list in terms of how bearish many of them seem to be in terms of their bitcoin numbers as compared with how many of the BIGGER players were projecting bitcoin 6-ish months ago.

Third of all.. you (@fillippone) have been in these here parts long enough to know that there are problems referring to bitcoin as crypto?  even if others are doing it, no?  I personally think that there are duties to speak with clarity, even if many folks are using vague-ass ways of referring to bitcoin and/or including bitcoin in their descriptors.. Equating bitcoin to crypto assists in the various subtle attacks, including the paper bitcoin, the various derivative products, stable coins that are likely going to play similar roles as CBDCs while appearing to be "bitcoin"/"crypto" friendly and of course, the affinity scam reasons that relate to shitcoiners use of such term.  You deserve a virtual bat-slappening for that level of participating in the subliminal spreading of the use of vagueness, ambiguity and/or misleadingness...

Maybe you've been co-opted?  Do you (fillippone) need an intervention?  Blink once if yes.  Blink twice if no. #Askingforafriend.  hahahahahaha

From a cursory glance of their testing methodology they seem to be nailing it.

*I have no clue if they are biased by outside forces atm.

I was about to post exactly what you posted above, but noticed that https://hwbusters.com/psus/ does show ads, even with uBlock Origin installed.

Are you sure you're not seeing ads?

This is what I see:



The entire right column is ads!

I guess these types of ads are allowed (or can't be intercepted) by uBO, because they are hard-coded in the page (i.e., not the standard ad banners we see everywhere).

I didn't see any that were intrusive but then again I use Ublock Origin and Noscript.

Yup, looks like they use quite a bit of the real estate for ads.

Funny I didnt even  notice those as ads, hah I think my brain got trained to ignore shit that's a distraction to what I'm looking for.

Well if it pays for the content I want I guess we have to put up with some shit.

Woke up grumpy. Ate some breakfast and Had a cup  of coffee.

I need a few more to really awaken.

So hmm

 Nov 2024 74k

April 2025 74k

Nov 2025 87k
Dec 2025 87k

I LEFT THE highlights out.

GOLD
 Nov 2024 ..........2700
APRIL 2025........3300

NOV 2025...........4300
Dec 2025............4400


Silver
 Nov 2024.......... 33
April 2025..........35

NOV 2025..........55
DEC 2025..........77


So Btc was kind of crabby last 13 months more than it was a bull or a bear.

While silver and gold were bullish last 13 months.

I WOULD ARUGE this was summer of 2019 rally more than a bull for 2025

2026 should be fun

Very true, but I just clicked on a few of those and all they did was bring me to the product they have pictured.

I didn't stop me from finding what I'm looking for.

For instance I saw coolers on there as well and dug into the review and found these two charts which are exactly what I want.

I cant stand a loud system so I was able to find comparisons for AIO's and static coolers @ 20DB



I also checked into their methodology and was pretty impressed.

https://hwbusters.com/best_picks/best-cpu-cooler-picks-hardware-busters/


So like I said I found this site after a 10 minute search and had to go through tons of shill sites to find one that actually does proper testing.

I personally can overlook the huge ad links for this type of data.

IIRC the reason Johnny Guru closed is because of monetization issues.

They never hit a point where they got sustainable traffic.

People expect everyone to work for them for free these days unless they are a muti billion dollar conglomerate and then people argue to protect their bottom line.

*this world is fucked and full of retards when 2 guys in a garage working their ass off can't pay for food and electric yet conglomerates can afford to send people to the moon.

Exactly. That's what I do.

I guess some subliminal persuasion is still acting on me even if I don't realize. I'm just an ape of the Homo genus, just like all the others. Well, not really all, but I guess you get my gist.

Still didn't find the time to configure and integrate it into my home LAN, but it's a great solution.

OT:
I'm posting the last astrophotography pic of the year, the "Spaghetti Nebula" SH2-240.
Integration time: 6h 5m, with 2x2 binning (that means 4 sensor pixels are combined into one = more light per pixel).
It is a dim, big nebulous supernova remnant, which didn't even fit on the sensor at 430mm focal length (my smallest telescope), and i had to combat 70% full moon with a dual narrowband filter. Both of them (filter and moonlight) took away a little detail, contrast and brightness, but i willingly decided to go for a picture under these special
conditions, out of curiosity, and i'm impressed how much the editing was getting out of the raw data.



Happy New Year to all my WO's
