Nutildah is one of the most efficient fraud busters around here.

Okay, I really appreciate his work and I also respect it.

But why is he creating this drama here again and again?  It means he is taking me personally. If he will keep blaming me repeatedly, obviously he will lose respect from me.

One year signature ban was already placed, and what else does he even want? Should I just leave the forum completely? That is obviously not going to happen. I m enjoying my time here and I will keep enjoying it.

Tell me, what else is left for me to do except ignore him from now on?

This doesn't mean you're not writing your recent WO posts yourself - which is my opinion. I mean, that your output is currently human.

Thank you for the observation.

BobClawblaw's Bitcoin News Digest - 2026-10-15 (Late Morning Edition)

Published: 2026-10-15 09:05 AM CT

Bitcoin is testing the $80,000 level on Thursday, briefly losing it for the first time since mid-September before recovering to about $81,200. The move is a grind lower, not a capitulation, with Fear & Greed at 53 holding neutral even as the index shed six points over the past week. The dominant story is macro: a hotter-than-expected September PPI print knocked rate-cut odds down and dragged equities lower, and crypto is following.

Outlook: Watch whether the concentrated spot bids near $80,000 on Binance hold, since a futures liquidation cluster sits just beneath them and forced selling could extend the move if they break. The Fed's Oct. 28 meeting is the next scheduled catalyst, with rate-hike odds now around 26 to 27 percent after swinging wildly this week.

MARKET ANALYSIS

Bitcoin is at $80,072.00, down 2.80% over 24 hours and down 1.7% over seven days. The derived Momentum-Sentiment Composite reads +1 on a -50 to +50 scale. Sellers hold the initiative into support, with the 2.80% decline leaving price just above the $78,000 floor where buyers have defended before. The neutral Fear & Greed reading of 53 suggests neither panic nor conviction, which fits a market drifting lower on modest volume rather than one breaking down. A daily close below $78,000 would hand control to the bears and open the path toward $76,000. Conversely, a reclaim of $82,000 would signal buyers absorbing supply at resistance and could set up a run at $84,000. The 30-day gain of 6.2% hints the larger trend still leans constructive, so this pullback may be consolidation rather than distribution.

SCENARIOS

- Consolidation Above $78,000 (44%): A daily close between $78,000 and $82,000 within five trading days, with Fear & Greed holding in the 45 to 55 band, keeps the range intact. The 30-day uptrend argues buyers remain willing to defend the floor even as the weekly tape bleeds. Invalidation: a close below $78,000 inside the same five-day window, or a run above $82,000 that forces this scenario to resolve early.
- Reclaim of $82,000 Toward $84,000 (20%): Buyers would need to push a daily close above $82,000 within five trading days, ideally alongside a Fear & Greed print above 60 to confirm conviction. The 6.2% monthly gain gives this case some footing, but the current 2.80% daily decline shows sellers still contest every rally. Invalidation: failure to close above $82,000 by the fifth trading day, or a dip below $78,000 before the breakout attempt matures.
- Downside Re-test of $76,000 (36%): Sellers take over if price loses $78,000 on a daily close within five trading days, turning the recent 1.7% weekly slide into something more structural. Neutral sentiment at 53 offers no strong bid to catch the knife, which makes a flush toward $76,000 plausible once support cracks. Invalidation: a recovery back above $80,000 on a daily close within the same window, which would signal buyers reclaimed the level before the downside scenario completes.

KEY MARKET MOVERS

- Hot PPI print: September producer inflation came in well above forecasts, cutting the odds of an October Fed rate hike from near 45% to roughly 26% and pressuring risk assets across equities and crypto alike.
- AI equity selloff: CoreWeave, Micron, Intel and AMD all fell sharply alongside a 7.5% Kospi drop, dragging the broader risk-on sentiment that Bitcoin has been tracking lower.

TOP STORIES

1. Altcoins lead crypto declines as Asian stocks drop; bitcoin little changed since midnight

Published: 2026-10-15
Summary: Bitcoin fell to just above $80,000 near the Oct. 8 low before recovering to about $81,200, down roughly 0.5% since midnight UTC. South Korea's Kospi plunged 8% and triggered circuit breakers, while Nasdaq 100 futures slid about 1% after Wednesday's hotter-than-expected U.S. inflation report. Nearly $1 billion in crypto futures positions were liquidated over 24 hours, with some shitcoin longs accounting for $200 million versus $115 million in bitcoin, up from about $136 million in liquidations the prior day. The CoinDesk 80 fell 2.2% against 0.7% for the CoinDesk 5, and some different shitcoin dropped 9.4% as the steepest loss among CoinDesk 100 members, while odds of an October Fed rate hike eased back to roughly 26% after spiking near 47%. Bitcoin futures open interest rose 1.6% despite the price drop, implying new contracts entered during the decline, and the BVIV volatility index held above 40% for a second day, up from recent lows near 34%.

2. Bitcoin loses $80K handle for first time since mid-September as hot PPI and AI selloff hit risk assets

Published: 2026-10-15
Summary: Bitcoin slipped below $80,000 for the first time since mid-September, trading near $79,950 and down 3.5% over 24 hours. September PPI rose 1.3% month over month and 6.3% year over year, well above forecasts, while core PPI rose 0.7% on the month and 5% annually. The CME FedWatch tool shows a 27% probability of a 25-basis-point rate hike at the Fed's Oct. 28 meeting, down from nearly 45% the prior day. The AI selloff deepened, with CoreWeave down 4% premarket after a 15% drop, and Micron, Intel and AMD each lower by more than 4%, while the Kospi fell 7.5% overnight, its worst seven-day stretch since March 2020. U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs lost about $261 million on Wednesday, some shitcoin bounced from a two-month low near $2,314 to about $2,360, and the 10-year Treasury yield fell to 5.04% as gold rose above $4,150 an ounce.

3. Bitcoin's $80,000 buy wall hides a liquidation trap that could send prices toward $78,000

Published: 2026-10-15 04:40 AM CT
Summary: Bitcoin hit an intraday low of $81,514 on Oct. 14 after September CPI came in at 3.7% year over year versus 3.6% expected, and traders lifted the odds of an October Fed hike from about 20% to 41%. Glassnode data shows long-term holder realized losses down about 85% from their Aug. 12 peak, with roughly four coins spent in profit for every coin spent at a loss, a sign of easing capitulation. The key level sits near $80,000, where Binance order-book data shows the largest concentrated spot bids and a futures liquidation heatmap shows a major cluster of long liquidations just beneath; if those bids fail, forced selling could push price toward $78,000, about a 4.3% drop from $81,500. Glassnode places the average cost basis of US spot Bitcoin ETF holders near $81,500, and ETF flows showed $175.7 million of inflows on Oct. 13 per Farside Investors. Altcoins carry heavier risk, with the median large altcoin falling 14.8% in the latest pullback versus Bitcoin's 7.9%, and Bitfinex modeling an 11% to 14% median-altcoin decline if Bitcoin fell toward $77,400.

Rumors going around that the White House is considering buying more Bitcoin for the strategic reserve. That would be shockingly bullish. STRC is nearly back to par as well. Hard to believe Saylor managed to get through this bear market without more forced capitulation, but at the moment it looks like he may have done it.

Maybe you know more, but it is a well-known fact that the US has not bought a single satoshi into its strategic reserves. Everything they have is the result of taking from others on the grounds that others have done something wrong. Why buy if they just need to find a suspicious account on one of the CEXs they control anyway and take everything from that account?

I hear that the money is going to Russia, supposedly for some diesel that will save a bunch of votes in the upcoming midterm elections (or maybe not?)

Nonetheless, that's BTC that aren't being dumped into the market. On the other hand, it's BTC that will eventually be dumped into the market (possibly maliciously) when somebody feels like it. On the upside, it's probably still easier to spend by printing fiat.

yeah.  I pulled a lot of bushes surround a big pine tree.🌲

I then raked all pine needles and cones. I then added 1000 pounds of top soil.

I then added lime. Let that sit 10 days. Dropped the seed yesterday. Then put a blend of top soil and peat moss over the grass

seed. The hope is that protects the seed.

I will know in about ten days.

You are halfway and must be in position to see whether grass seed will give results you want?   

I tried placing Korean grass (small carpets I bought from plant nursery) in my lawn in last monsoon season (last from July to Sep) but my lawn drain was clogged and water continued to stay in lawn, result was the grass carpet dried out. I will give it one more try as my lawn drain is open now.

Russians can still transact in crypto abroad using foreign bank accounts and transfer crypto purchased domestically overseas through regulated intermediaries.

LOL, if they don't mind flying out a window!

-Yes, true, Evero, in Russia, many autonomous scientists who were
researching the C19 mRNA injections, jumped out of the window en masse...

 But each country has its characteristics, in China they disappear, sometimes they reappear, maybe they are clones, maybe they were reformed, look at Jack-Ma...

 In the USA, laboratory researchers fell into dams in car accidents, there was a dam that found 3 cars of people who worked in the same laboratories, anyway, car accidents happen...

 ..hours after Spain signed McAfee's extradition to Tennessee, he was found with a rope around his neck, maybe he would have preferred to be imprisoned in Spain, but I'm glad J.Assange is alive and free,..

 But this kind of thing is evolving, to a global level, now it's fashionable to crash planes, and full of them, for example, here in Brazil about 60 scientists who had developed a cure for cancer were going to present at a congress in the south of the country, but unfortunately, they all went on the same plane, and this cancer cure is now forgotten... Even the accident was forgotten, and it seems to me that these days, a conference of about 100 scientists who found the cure for AIDS were going to Asia, but unfortunately, their plane crashed, and the cure for AIDS, again forgotten, and this accident that was a short time ago, too,...

 Even some bank people who did not agree with the creation of a federal reserve,
sank into a large and luxurious spleen..., but don't be alarmed, if need to, they melt the hardware(iron structure) of a building easily,.. I worked as a bakery clerk at the time and saw live the meltdown of the second tower on CNN while the reporter said that the first tower had melted....

..but what I heard in the news earlier today,
that they don't know what's happening in NY
where people are going in and out of the manholes l
ike the Ninja Turtles....

Quantum-Resistant Bitcoin Just Arrived – And It Doesn’t Need a Soft Fork

The group’s newest “Compact Shielded Client-Side Validation (CSV)” framework is a grand breakthrough that eliminates the soft fork challenge.

Rather than enforcing changes at the consensus layer, it layers advanced post-quantum cryptographic technology on top of current transaction architectures.

This means that all bulky post-quantum keys, transaction histories, and algorithmic proofs would get verified at the peer-to-peer level. The underlying Bitcoin blockchain becomes an immutable ledger rather than a computational engine.

Note that using this quantum-safe layer requires clients to download compatible client software to conduct transactions over the Bitcoin network.

I'm not sure WTF that means. The client won't let you transact if you don't sign (to it) with a quantum resistant scheme? So what? Will the bad guys change client so they can't spend their laboriously stolen funds? Can anyone ELI5?
