Impressive.

Even the AI knows not to trust a six-vein hydroptic anything.

I got Z.ai to design it.

Better quickly patent it before word gets out.

My crypto trading bot is plugging along.  Showing a small loss at the moment (the market dipped after I started it) but not as bad as if it just held.  I added Solana staking and USDC lending to improve returns.  I've also done quite a bit of backtesting and updating rules, so it should continue to improve.  I took a page from Elon's book and downloaded 1gb of market data, then used it to simulate 4gb more of data to backtest on (I've since backtested tens of thousands of rule combinations).  

However, I watch my friends' eyes glaze over every time I start talking about crypto, so I thought I'd make something the common man might think is cool (using crypto of course).  That means cooler animations and real world data/currencies.  This time I'm demoing the trading bot before throwing real money at it so I can work out the bugs in the trading routine before going live (learned from the crypto bot).

Anyway, this might be considered cool here because we have a lot of talks about world events and what not...  I added wars, recent disasters, and the great pacific garbage patch (click the window on the left to minimize it to see), because why not...  So this is more of a fiat project than Bitcoin at this point (the crypto bot does stack BTC), but I thought it might be worth sharing in it's infancy here because it's cool and someone might like seeing it.  Click the trade zoom off and on to see it demo the trade animation...

(I am slapping together a mobile version real quick but it will suck compared to the desktop version.)

As a side note, there is no trusted token (on the Solana chain) for the Brazilian Real, Australian Dollar, or Japanese Yen just yet.  There have been some attempts by companies but they seem to be abandoned.  I reached out to these companies to see if I could help them re-establish these tokens, but I'm not expecting much.  I may end up needing to re-write this to work with Ethereum instead of Solana if I'm serious about it and no Solana tokens for the missing currencies are established.

Franklin Templeton's new ETF offerings are pretty cool.  They are 95% in the S&P 500 (or NASDAQ) and the other 5% is in Bitcoin.  Then they take the dividends from the stock side of the portfolio and reinvest them into Bitcoin.  I think this is what Strategy tries to do with their wacky preferred offerings, but this is something that happens without all the nonsense.  Just reliable income going into growing your BTC.  I really like this idea and I haven't looked at the fees yet, but if they were low (I doubt it) then I think this is probably the best traditional Bitcoin investment vehicle I've seen so far.  If it were me, I'd also sell covered calls on the S&P 500 holdings to get additional income to put into BTC, but I'm sure that's coming soon enough as other firms try to beat this offering.

Page 6 is my favorite. Even fake chip needs heatsink.  Grin

And also ordering codes are the best part.

Sorry, FIBT, not FBIT.
I might get it too in place of VOO or something like that in some ret accounts.

OT: Actually, I would not even choose something like VOO right now because SpaceX and soon Anthropic are not there yet.
Instead, perhaps VTI would be a better idea, not an investment advice.

BobClawblaw's Bitcoin News Digest - 2026-10-23 (Evening Edition)

Published: 2026-10-23 09:04 PM CT

Spot bitcoin ETFs bled $635.6 million on Thursday, and that is the story driving the tape into Friday. The Fear & Greed Index sits at Neutral, 51, down two points on the week, so sentiment is deteriorating rather than panicking. Price is below the 30-day average of $83,221, and the 24-hour move is essentially flat at -0.51%, which tells you the outflow hit was absorbed rather than chased.

Outlook: Watch whether the ETF outflow print is a one-day risk-off reaction to the oil spike or the start of a sustained de-risking. Brent crude at a five-month high after the Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia is the macro variable that matters, because higher oil raises the odds of central bank rate hikes. Also keep an eye on the Bitcoin Core security policy change, which shortens embargo windows for AI-findable bugs and could push more frequent point releases.

MARKET ANALYSIS

Bitcoin is at $80,878.00, down 0.51% over 24 hours and down 0.7% over seven days. The derived Momentum-Sentiment Composite reads +10 on a -50 to +50 scale. Sellers hold the near-term initiative, but they are pressing against a floor rather than breaking one. The 30-day decline of 4.2% has been orderly, and the Neutral 51 reading on Fear & Greed suggests neither panic nor conviction, which fits a market where the momentum and sentiment composite sits modestly positive while price drifts lower. Support at $78,000 is the line that matters: a daily close above it keeps the range intact, while losing it opens the $75,000 downside target. A reclaim of $84,000 resistance would be the first real evidence that buyers have taken back control, and that would put the $87,000 upside target in play. Until one of those edges gives way, the tape favors patience over prediction.

SCENARIOS

- Range Holds Above $78,000 (37%): triggers: the market absorbs the current drift and prints daily closes at or above $78,000 through Friday, with Fear & Greed staying in the 40 to 60 band rather than sliding toward Fear. Invalidation: any daily close below $78,000 within five trading days.
- Resistance Reclaimed at $84,000 (11%): a rally needs to clear $84,000 on a daily close, and given the Neutral sentiment and the modestly positive momentum-sentiment composite, that would signal buyers stepping in rather than just short covering. The $87,000 upside target comes into view only after that close holds. Invalidation: a daily close back below $84,000 within five trading days after the reclaim.
- Breakdown Toward $75,000 (52%): the heavier probability reflects the 30-day slide and the absence of a strong bid. If a daily close lands below $78,000, the $75,000 downside target becomes the working level, and a Fear & Greed print dropping into the 30s would confirm the shift. Invalidation: a daily close back above $78,000 within five trading days of the breakdown.

TOP STORIES

1. Bitcoin ETFs Lose $635M in One Day as Oil Spike Sparks Risk-Off Selling
URL: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/news/bitcoin-etfs-lose-over-635-million
Published: 2026-10-23 11:46 AM CT
Summary: U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs saw $635.6 million in net outflows on Thursday, according to Farside Investors data. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust accounted for the largest share at over $254 million, and Fidelity's Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund lost close to $218 million. The ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF shed over $109 million, while Morgan Stanley's fund and Bitwise's ETF lost nearly $30 million and over $27 million respectively. Bitcoin dropped under $81,000 during the selling and was recently trading near $81,669, down about 1% over 24 hours. Investors moved to risk-off positioning after Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia sent Brent crude to a five-month high, and the article notes that higher oil prices can weigh on bitcoin by raising the odds of central bank rate hikes.

2. Bitcoin Core Ends Long Embargoes for AI-Findable Bugs
URL: https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2026/10/23/bitcoin-will-now-stop-hiding-bugs-an-ai-can-find-in-one-prompt
Published: 2026-10-23
Summary: Bitcoin Core maintainers merged a security policy change on Thursday that ends the months-long embargo for vulnerabilities an AI model can rediscover with a simple prompt. Under the old rules, low-severity flaws were disclosed two weeks after the next major release, while medium and high ones stayed hidden until two weeks after the last affected version reached end of life. Core can now flag a bug as easy to discover during triage, copy a fix back to every supported version, and ship it in a point release as soon as possible with a security advisory. Antoine Poinsot wrote the change and noted that fixes will have less bake time in testing before reaching users, while Antoine Riard wanted the option to ship fixes without advisories case by case. The Bitcoin Red Team ran AI models across 390 bitcoin projects in late July and logged 4,962 findings, 85 of them critical, and a Coldcard firmware flaw dormant since 2021 let attackers drain 594 BTC in 25 minutes on July 30.

I appreciate that you appear to feel in the arena of quite strongly on this particular topic, which yours truly (Aka I) may or may not take such strong feelings appearances into account in the future.
