Crying on your birthday… it’s definitely not a good sign. It’s a difficult feeling to explain: as if life is slipping through my fingers, as if I’m wasting something precious. At 37, I officially feel like a failure. I haven’t managed to give my life any real meaning.

That’s the thought accompanying me today. Maybe I’ll regret writing this, because humanity often doesn’t offer comfort, it watches and judges.

Sometimes, it even seems to find satisfaction in the pain of others.

No previous knowledge of bikes. But we just want something very comfortable with a long range. We won't be doing any hardcore mountain biking etc, just cruising on roads and some easy trails.

Do you own an e-bike? I'm about to buy one and still doing research. Seems like $1,500-$2,000 is the price range where they get really good.

Bitcoin about to put in a double top?

Since its all-time high of $111k, Bitcoin has corrected about 6% to $105k. After hovering at this level for several days, some investors are now concerned we could be seeing the formation of another double top, similar to 2021. Frankly, I expected Bitcoin to push higher after breaking its all-time high in May. The reason it hasn’t is mainly because the demand side looks weak.

For one, ETF inflows have stalled, even turning negative by nearly $1 billion in late May and early June. Strategy also appears to be struggling to attract fresh capital, having purchased only 705 BTC on June 2.

On-chain dynamics show that coins held for 3 to 5 years — amounts comparable to local tops in March and November 2024 — are being sold into the market. The inability to absorb these coins at all-time-high prices suggests demand is fading.

From a sentiment perspective, last week’s Bitcoin conference felt like a potential top signal; watching the livestream gave me the impression that the enthusiasm from Bitcoin Treasury companies might be at a peak level.

The upcoming Circle IPO is another example: targeting a fully diluted valuation of up to $7.2 billion, the upcoming IPO is said to be oversuscribed by 25x. If this doesn’t give you late-cycle vibes, I don‘t know what will.

Finally, leverage remains elevated, as seen in futures volume, signaling that many investors are still positioned for immediate upside. Although this has eased somewhat since the all-time high, it’s still not non-negligible.

So, where do we stand? A week ago, I speculated that BTC would go to $120k fairly fast. I remain cautiously bullish in the short term, particularly as long as we hold above the short-term holder cost basis at $97k. Should we fall below that level, market psychology could take a real hit and things would have to be seriously assessed.

To stay above it, we’ll need to see fresh demand step in. If we dip lower in the coming days, I’d expect the first meaningful demand and support zone to appear around $99k.

Thoughts?

Look, in the end it all comes down to what each person personally believes. And everyone should believe whatever they want, that’s totally fine. In our belief system, though, the concept that all provision comes from Allah alone is fundamental.

Absolutely right. Nobody can deny it.

But with all these incidents, as serious as they may have been, you’ve got to ask yourself, was it really the religion’s fault, or did people just misunderstand or twist things to fit their own agenda, totally going against what the religion actually teaches?

And you’ll see, in almost every case it was the latter.

It's always necessary, always. You think, the Creator and Maintainer of all things suddenly vanished and we took over that part or what? Try maintaining day and night change, if you think so.

Seriously? Have you never heard the name before?

Man, some European entrepreneurs are just plain dumb. And we're talking about seasoned CEOs.

One of them says he doesn’t get why his daughter is studying a foreign language. He says, we have all these AI simultaneous translators now. He thinks she should be learning [some BS job skill of your choice] instead in school.

Another one is whining about how Google is messing with him. It changed the algorithm and wiped out 90% of his organic traffic overnight. But don’t worry, he’s got a plan: ChatGPT will make up for the lost revenue. So basically, he’s solving his Big Tech dependency with even more Big Tech. Until the whole cycle starts over again. The word “self-sovereignty” hasn’t even crossed his mind.

Then there’s another CEO complaining that Europe is falling behind technologically because we’re supposedly lacking skilled workers. But let’s be real: for the past 25 years, entrepreneurs here have had the best possible conditions. They’ve been pampered with government support and subsidies like the unemployment office that made it possible for wages to stagnate. And inflation, taxes, and insurance ate up the rest of it. There are some really good programmers here, but none of these coddled CEOs ever think to retrain them. Nobody does that anymore, everyone expects ready to go talent for 2,500€ a month.

And now there's high unemployment, even among skilled workers, and companies don't even bother replying to applications. These spoiled idiots keep whining anyway.

Entrepreneurs blaming everything and everyone else, the system, the economy, without ever considering that maybe *they* are the problem.

I’m telling you, a high income isn’t something anyone earns. All these people who think “I deserve this” or “I built this myself” are wrong. Allah ﷻ is the only one who distributes wealth, and He has His own criteria. He’s the only one who deserves any praise and credit for anything. But most people don't understand.

If you had to express the essence of you in three words, what would they be?
