Fire Hydrant of Freedom

Watch for decentralized ID. MSTR is the company and BTC is the medium. https://bitcoinmagazine.com/technical/dids-built-on-bitcoin-fix-the-web

This interesting tweet on the Yen and BTC. Please read it carefully. There is no out, just one of two bad outcomes for Japan and soon for the USA.

She shot her puppy, and her foot.

Hong Kong ETF goes live next week, its a smaller market than the US. Consolidation for now.

Not sure, if I posted this earlier, but worth a re-read.

BTC ad. Coinbase has always been anti BTC, because they made their money from $hitcoins. But now even they are changing.

To confiscate Russian assets, the bill must be approved in the Senate too.

Wokeness is destroying America., will leave it at that!.

This presents a different angle. Choose your number, as to how how high BTC goes this cycle. Blue, Red or Green line (previous BTC runs after the halving). This time we have the institutions joining in, Hong Kong going live with in kind BTC ETF this month for capturing Eastern money flows, countries starting to buy/mine BTC.

I was impressed with the understanding of India by Alexander Dugin, a Russian thinker close to Putin. His understanding of things is very close to that of the Indian mind. Have not seen any other Western commentator, and definitely no American commentator with this level of accuracy. Dugin by the way says Russia should side with China!, which may be the correct response for Russia.

I posted 2 images, nothing critical.

The BJP released their 2024 Election Manifesto. No direct mention of POK (but that would not be a good idea, as it would give the timing away). The below national defense related items were listed.

1.Continuing Zero Tolerance towards Terrorism: This is directed at Pak. They remind the readers of 2 previous surgical strikes against Pak.
2. Theaterization of Military Commands: For better efficiency. This will help in the next big war, and is China oriented. They have to be prepared for a two front war with Pak-China, along the NW borders, Eastern borders and in the sea.
3. Robust Infrastructure along the borders. They specifically  refer to India-Pak, India-China and India-Myanmar borders.
4. Reinforcing fight against drugs: This is Pak oriented, who sends a lot across their border.
5. Implementing the new Indian Penal Code: India used the old British rules, these have been updated to present times to deal with Terrorism and anti-national elements.
6.Implementation of the CAA: This is the new Citizenship act, where minorities (non muslims) of previous Indian territories (Pak, Afgh, Bangladesh) who sought shelter in India are given citizenship in India.
7. Enhance capabilities of armed forces and central armed forces (police) to deal with any threats.
8.National Forsensics Mission: To speed up crime related decisions.
9. To protect India's (Bharat) security interests in the Indian Ocean. This is China focussed.
10. Safeguarding India's Digital Sovereignty: This relates to internet based threats. India has low tolerance for misuse of FaceBook etc. Tik-Tok and tons of Chinese apps are banned.
11. Developing Robust Cybersecurity Policies.

Overall, all this is needed before we can fight China, but should the opportunity arise POK will be taken. Modi and the defense minister have said that many times. When the people of POK start demanding to merge with India, we will know its time.

aka, US shot itself in the foot. Who's winning now ?. The rise of gold portends lack of confidence in govt.



and then see how BTC does wrt to Gold

Hong Kong BTC ETF expected to trade by end of this month. This will bring a lot of Chinese money.

Each time BTC has closed for 2 months over the upper Bollinger band, it has doubled over the next few months. Interesting times ahead

BTC halving schedule and mining rewards. Absolute scarcity is coming in a few years. It would not be wise to sell your entire stack, knowing whats coming over the next decade.

As dmg from a time gone by, might have said, below are the keys to the adytum. Its not seen very clearly on the chart, but where the 2 moving averages meet, will be the top of the market. Worked the last two times. Will post a clearer chart when its time.  If you count the green MACD bars (2 month bars), the next 3-4 bars will give the next major top, which coincides with what I have indicated before, October 2024. Having said that, the market always humbles everyone, it cant be so easy!

BTC ETF net inflows have been flat, GBTC outflows have slowed. Soon it will be time to complete consolidation and move up.

India-US relationship had a bad week. My comments in green.

"US-India partnership had a bad week. Kejriwal row (corrupt politician, possible CIA). CAA controversy (US comment on India offering citizenship to minorities in muslim countries). Biden letter to Pakistan (Biden congratulating pak PM). US embassy invites Kashmiris to Iftar party (Basically inviting anti-India elements). Jaishankar (India's Foreign Minister) says India and Russia take good care of each other."

For months now, Martin Armstrong has been beating the war drums. May 7 2024 is a critical and long forecasted date, based on his proprietary Socrates arrays. A lot of things are lining up, together with some other currency data. It takes some experience to read these arrays. the rouble is also getting stronger.

"Buckle up.  Things are about to get wild.

One thing I rarely see discussed about the game theory of #Bitcoin is that the incentives are aligned in such a way that the game speeds up over time.

During the initial phases of the game, #Bitcoin was a strange foreign idea in cyberspace. It was risky, it was uncertain, it was hard to buy, and hard to store. Only the outcasts, the explorers, and the free thinkers joined during the early wave, and they were handsomely rewarded for doing so.

Now, the talk I frequently hear is that the best gains are behind us. What's the point? I missed Bitcoin. I should have bought it when it was cheap. Etc...

While it is true that the biggest percentage gains are behind us, the biggest and fastest adoption is just around the corner. Also, even if you have dismissed #Bitcoin, the cost of ignoring it will soon become unbearable.

The game theory will soon switch from greed to fear, and for the first time ever, fear will drive #Bitcoin higher and higher instead of lower and lower.

Why is that?

The bitcoin network grows stronger and becomes more valuable with every person that joins.

At the same time, the fiat monetary system becomes weaker with every person that leaves.

While adoption was still tiny, the cost of ignoring Bitcoin was negligible. You missed out on the gains, but otherwise, it was not important. Soon, however, that will no longer be the case. Everyone knows that fiat money is being debased at an accelerating pace. With every person that exits into Bitcoin, it means that those left with fiat will now have to carry the burden of those that have left. In other words, the cost of staying with fiat will exponentially increase over time.

Think about it. Does the national debt decrease if people leave the US? No. The same is true with monetary networks. Unfortunately for those holding fiat, it is a debt-based system, and the people opting out with #Bitcoin no longer have to care or worry about that debt.

This is why the best money always wins, and why there can only be one winner. I also believe that's why the fastest growth in Bitcoin adoption is just ahead of us. It will go from a trickle, to a rush, and end in a stampede.

At some point, you won't be able to exchange fiat for #Bitcoin at any price, and all of your models will be destroyed."

I am not so smart, just read smart people but thanks.

BTW, India is undergoing general elections in May 2024. Modi is expected to sweep the polls by the largest number of seats ever. The west is still not recognizing the Modi juggernaut, for they continue to diss him. Here's a typical election song for Modi, one of many. Modi has pushed Indian nationalism and Hinduism. Many of the visuals are from holy places that Modi visits, or the huge crowds that come to see Modi.
