I guess I didn't trick it.

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.

or applications exceeding 120 kW continuous regen-brake power, an additional external
heatsink bonded to the PCB’s bottom side via a thermal interface material of conductivity ≥ 3 W/m·K is
recommended. Forced air is not required.

oh so this is the enhanced version, i see youve improved it.

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

And also ordering codes are the best part.

Who's placing the first order?

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.

ChartBuddy?  That guy doesn't hold back; I'm sure he would have told us by now if he wasn't a he.
 
"Motherfer, take it outside! If you want to call me sir again, I will show you a fing sir!"

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.

 

 

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).

Hard to know how you might arguably happen to be on topic in these here parts.

 Bloomberg Strategist Calls Bitcoin a “Stock-Market Puppet,” Maintains $10,000 Target

 Bloomberg commodity strategist Mike McGlone reiterated his prediction that Bitcoin (BTC) could fall to $10,000, calling the cryptocurrency a “complete stock puppet” whose performance remains heavily influenced by US equities.

 Speaking to Maggie Lake on Welthion recently, McGlone argued that Bitcoin has yet to demonstrate the resilience needed to justify more optimistic expectations. He pointed to its relationship with the S&P 500, suggesting that a broader stock market downturn could put additional pressure on BTC.

“The bottom line is it’s already flunked the main test this year,” McGlone said.

Notably, the strategist first made his $10,000 forecast in 2024, when Bitcoin traded near $109,000. He has continued to defend the prediction even after the cryptocurrency advanced toward $126,000.

 Billionaire Investor Chamath Palihapitiya Says Bitcoin Will Eventually Be Hacked by AI and Go to Zero


BTC can fall to zero after infiltration  

 In the podcast, Chamath Palihapitiya is convinced that a future AI hack could eventually infiltrate Bitcoin and send its value to zero. In the interview, the CEO identified privacy exposure and AI-enabled hacking as risks facing traditional cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin.

Regarding privacy exposure, he mentioned leaked crypto data security, which led to home invasions and kidnappings of crypto entrepreneurs and prominent investors in France.

 In the case of AI-enabled hacking, Palihapitiya said rising self-improving AI models could eventually manipulate Bitcoin’s hash algorithm (SHA-256 security) and possibly infiltrate Satoshi Nakamoto’s wallets.

 He illustrated that an attacker could profit twice from the same exploit: first by drawing funds from the wallets. Second, by shorting Bitcoin after publicly exposing the hacking incident, illustrating how Bitcoin can plummet to zero.

 According to the executive, Bitcoin is capped, and he believes that AI can hack its encryption and unlock blockchain wallets whose public keys are often protected by math.

 His statement revealed how AI has put powerful hacking tools into the hands of many people, including attackers. He called the migration to quantum-resistant cryptography impossible because the Bitcoin community’s attention is divided.  

 He says he buys Bitcoin through ETFs
Palihapitiya said he no longer holds Bitcoin directly because of potential security concerns. The CEO said he gets exposure to Bitcoin through the equity market to avoid storage and security risks....

The two oil paintings THE DREAMER (RED KNIGHT) and THE DREAMLESS (GREEN KNIGHT) sold for 0.32698802 BTC each, roughly $26,500 apiece, drawing a combined 197 bids at the BMAG auction during Bitcoin 2026 in Las Vegas.

I met this guy in Vegas. Super chill dude. He is quite talented. He was giving away trading card versions of The Dreamer and I was lucky enough to pick one up. One of the foremost "Bitcoin artists" presently out there.

Well this above is a reaction to the 'fake' link between the 4 year 1/2ing and price.

they kind of stole my thoughts and biodoms thoughts that btc is merely a yo-yo for the rich to pump and dump at will.

It is a reason I sold 1/2 my btc for spacex ,gold and silver.

I actually could see myself out living the usefulness of BTC

here is why the USA gov allowed Musk to print over 1.5 trillion with spacex because there is bipartisan support for stocks.

in the next 2-4 years tons of AI IPO's will launch effectively printing value.

So the wealth growth is being fostered for AI.. meanwhile half the USa gov hates crypto and will attack it when given a chance.


this still does not mean I do not like BTC and all of crypto but I think it is facing hard times and will be a scapegoat used to help AI

to be transparent I have about 50% of my investments in BTC 10% in other crypto and 40% in stocks, gold, silver ,platinum and some cash

to each his own but btc is facing hard times.


oh the mine is still cranking out about .00105 btc a day or 0.38 btc a year. power cost is 28k net of a few thousand dollars in btc and 7.3 ltc along with 30,000 doge a year
