I can’t go either my friend. Probably next year! Hopefully, it will be better times.

Remember human mind is geared towards FOMO. If price rises due to halving and adoption is still in full swing (which it looks like it is) the price could up easily!
Powell - dovish…sounds like a Pause is coming up. #Bitcoin
Next up is debt ceiling. No matter what happens, BTC wins.
And how exactly will US pay all its debt? Well let’s listen to Alan Greenspan:

FOMC meeting in 1 min
Fed interest rate 5.25
Language for future raises are eliminated from statement. Meeting at 2:30 pm
#Bitcoin
For those who are watching the 2:30 pm Fed meeting, George Tung is hosting live commentary as Powell speaks. Passing it on if anyone is interested.
Thought of the day:
Is it possible for Bitcoin (Store of value only) and CBDC (medium of exchange) to co-exist just like Gold co-existed with many fiat (US Dollar for ex) and ancient currencies (Denarii for ex) of bygone eras?
Or is it a Bitcoin or fiat game?
Also do you see blockchain eventually replacing the database industry in the long run?

Can blockchains be leveraged for healthcare data storage by anonymizing patient data (following HIPAA guidelines), which can then be decrypted and utilized at the appropriate point of use in your opinion?
That way all a patient need is a QR code safeguarding their pub key. Use this key if they need to see a doctor ANYWHERE on the planet and the data is decrypted and readable.

Berlin in 1900. Accompanied by the song “Time” by Hans Zimmer.
This thought-provoking video showcases the lives of people just like us, striving to live typically. The only difference that sets us apart from them is the concept of TIME.
Therefore, it is crucial not to waste time since it is irreplaceable, unlike money. Ultimately, only memories are left in the end.
Everyone you see in this video is just that by now….a memory in time.
Happening today.
Banks will be nationalized. Easier to control few big banks instead of many many regional banks
Agreed my friend. Ignore the chatter. Don’t confuse someone comments for the truth. Live one day at a time. Stay Positive. And no matter what you are facing, don’t lose hope.
The bank stocks today.
Need some input and guidance fellow Bitcoiners. Are these assumptions correct?
Personal story.
A tour guide in Israel (Caesarea) once shared with me these fascinating details.
During the peak of the Roman Empire, Emperors organized grand entertainment events, such as Gladiator games (remember the movie “Gladiator”?) and horse races in places like Caesarea and Rome. To keep the Roman masses entertained during a period of high unemployment, they distributed fresh bread as well.
Unemployment, military spending, lackluster interest in advancing technology, and inflation is often cited as reasons for Roman empires fall.
Human civilizations can be compared to the story of Sisyphus.
Sisyphus was a character in Greek mythology who was punished by the gods for his deceitfulness by being forced to endlessly push a boulder up a hill only for it to roll back down every time he neared the top. This punishment was meant to be futile and eternal, symbolizing the ultimate futility of human efforts. Sisyphus is often used as a metaphor for the repetitive and seemingly never-ending tasks that we undertake in life.
This is often the story of most civilizations. It’s like a fool rolling up a boulder up a steep mountain and when he reaches the top, he thinks he has created the best, strongest, and most freest society ever without realizing that this boulder could roll back is complacency creeps into his civilization. Just a thought!
