Hope you’re enjoying the Summer so far. 😄

The loudest voices online are usually the least profitable offline.

If they're loud they're selling you something.

Real operators don't announce, they execute quietly and let results speak.

Breakout.

The US 2 year yield is trading at 5.12.

Highest levels since 2006.

I'm pointing out the next significant pivot.

17.30 marks the outside bar high.

Outside bars are fractal broadening formations .

So that pivot both attracts and repels - if we trade close we will likely trade to and through that pivot.

Playing with #Nunchuk.

I never knew that multi-sig could be so easy.

2 charts I'm watching closely -

US10Y

Yields on the US 10-year is getting awfully close to new cycle highs. 💣

USDJPY

Japan is the furthest along amongst G nations in its experiments with monetary policy. Now the Yen is heading back towards cycle lows - watch carefully to see how Japan reacts. 👀

In French, they're called saule pleureur.

Reminds me of Monet's painting of the same name.

Back to posting charts on nostr!

$BTC update

We got the 3-month reversal - momo-up reversal - which now puts the 24825 pivot in play.

The multiple outside bars have caught a lot of traders offside.

This is when zooming out to a higher timeframe helps see the forest through the trees.

On the 12-month - $BTC is clearly trading inside year and it's very unlikely we break that range.

Tactically, this still means that on a risk-adjusted basis, it's still best to sell rips and buy dips.

If you're a longer-term trader/investor then keep some gun powder dry, don't chase as you will have opportunities to buy $BTC at cheaper prices.

Doing finishing touches for my book, which is now past all external editing. I'm doing the author's final edit/checkup, cover, getting it into the right format for publication, etc.

Some questions for the community:

-Do you prefer hardcover, paperback, or ebook?

-For hardcover or paperback, do you care about the physical dimensions of a book? eg do you prefer a 5.5"x8.5" thicc book or a 7"x10" thinner book?

-For those that like audio books, would you prefer to read the book physically or electronically rather than listen to it, if it had a lot of images?

Did you know you can have a special PIN for COLDCARD that can just wipe or brick it?

It's so simple, but so powerful.

Here have my PIN...

people complain about everyone just talking about #nostr on nostr.

do you know what’s more annoying than everyone talking about nostr on nostr?

everyone talking about bluesky on nostr.

when will clients stop blasting notes to ALL relays and allow users to choose where they r/w notes?

what if we treated relays more like subreddits where your current context is scoped to a relay(s)? 🤔

They need to make their website more reader friendly for noobs. I have been there multiple times (and today) and in a effort to preach about how good their security is it makes it look too complicated to me so I haven't bought one. I even downloaded the Sparrow wallet once and couldn't figure out how that works. I just think it's too complicated for mainstream users like myself. Which sucks because I really want one so I can be like the cool kids.

As I understand it (I asked Mathias at some point) you have to run your own DHT but that you can easily do this.

Hello world!

After 24 hrs, nostr seems pretty based. A bit clunky. But based.
