I forbid the price from continuing this nonsense.
Is it Bawb spending all his corns on more Boltzmann Brains I wonder?
We may have reinvented the system in which we exist.
Crack...
price is going to whatever it wants to do.
still stacking.
heres hoping for a rally down the road.
It just always does that. But that second part too.
If we get one more big pullback and we bottom in October I'm going to start smoking again.
🚬
That would be a wee bit crazy if the various strict 4-year cycle fanatics end up being correct about October being a bottom month.
It would also seem to be a bit of a lesser case scenario that we would get something like sub $50k for our low for this part of the cycle. With
straight out of my ass calculations, at this time, I would put the odds of the BTC price reaching lower than $50k - even with a spike within this particular part of the cycle - to be around 35% or less.
Boltzmann Brains
the fact that i could be some boltzmanns brain (likely with alzheimers) is oddly distressing and comforting at the same time.
I am a widdo bit sad to admit that it comes off as too BIG of a proposition for this here baby brain to take in.
im gonna bust outtra my vat!!!!
and when i do ima gonna roll across the lab and down the hall and.....
hmmm
ok back to the vat to think this though more
Hahahahaha
That reminds me of some of the thinking of my little selfie.
Sure I don't mind trying to contemplate one or two legs into the future, yet sometimes if too many legs are involved, then there tend to be too many variables, so that any of the branches of the subsequent leg becomes harder and harder to imagine the odds of ending up on that particular branch.

What a great post! I can't say there is anything I disagree with here.
Which for a
curmudgeon is a hard pill to swallow!
hahahaha
I am not going to fight against your self-description as a curmudgeon. It seems to fit some aspects of my visions of you.
Some of my best friends are curmudgeons.

But the diff dropped twice. So mining is a bit improved.

We stand a shot at dropping under 120t diff.
The diff trend line is down from nov 2025 to July 2026
Isn't the mandatory signaling of BIP 110 supposed to start for the beginning of the next difficulty period, so then during the next difficulty period there would be a figuring out if signaling for BIP 110 ends up taking place by the end of the difficulty period... The drama period is getting closer and closer.. .whether signaling for BIP 110 will be DOA or not... For many, it seems like a coop attempt that has been done (designed) in a coercive kind of a way.
another shitty price day as the summer drags on.
Recently I thought that you were happy that the BTC price was no longer in the upper $50ks, and so bouncing around $63k does not seem bad, even though there is not much of a price cushion between current bitcoin prices and our current local bottom of $57,735 from June 30th (or was it July 1?)... Depends on time zone.. UTC it was July 1, right?

That is definitely a shitty way to find out someone you have followed for decades has passed on. I'm sure that qualifies as a relationship and tears are justified and I would feel the same if I found out someone I "knew" from this forum passed away even though we only have this connection through a keyboard... I didn't really follow Dvorak, but his face definitely looks familiar from some old tech articles or magazines I've seen over the years. RIP
Quite a few forum members just stop posting, and reasonable inferences are that they passed on, even though every once in a while they surprisingly show up again.
Shit happens, and sometimes guys might not want to mention some of their own meat space (meat wagon) challenges.
