For those disappointed with the current price. Seems liquidity has gone elsewhere.

Additionally, for all those certain of a 70% crash soon due to the "cycles", where is this crash going to come from? It doesn't appear that retail has come anywhere near Bitcoin this cycle, so they can't cause another crash. There has also been no crazy greed driven run up in price, it's been very controlled. ETFs and treasury companies have been the only substantial demand this run and they don't look like they have been overextending to me.

There is always an end to an era and the era of crash two years after halving has come to an end. Like you said, institutions have entered the business as report has it that they control over 12% of Bitcoin and don't seem satisfied with such numbers. Furthermore, a lot of retails have realized the games the rich are playing with their growing interest in Bitcoin, hence are not willing to liquidate their Bitcoin easily. Therefore, I do not believe we will experience 70% crash in price anymore, we could see corrections and gradual growth just as we have experienced in the Q3.

That's my thinking too. Though I do hope Bitcoin gets a little more attention soon, it's somewhat annoying that we haven't benefited more price wise from the increase in liquidity. It seems for now at least gold is the one getting the attention.

FTFY.

You made some good points in regards to our new world order, which were partially demonstrated through Covid and also there is more and more control over all of finances, which stable coins are likely going to be another route to further attempts at control and dollar expansion - or at least try to allow the dollar to continue to survive, even though it is on its last legs, but certain trickery can allow it to continue to last, dominate and to suck up the value of other fiats through its ongoing dominance in digital format that is a bit more modern ways of control.

We likely have to see how quarter 4 of this year plays out in order to see if any blow off top ends up playing out, or if stable (and boring) is going to continue
.,.. and you are likely correct that if too much boring continues through quarter 4, then it becomes more difficult to trigger any kind of large and/or meaningful bitcoin crash - even if we might have some behind the scene attempts to manipulate (and paperize bitcoin supplies), but those fuck twats who are manipulating bitcoin supply might end up getting blown out of the water to the extent that not all the players holding bitcoin are going to want to cooperate with them. .and do we get some kind of a behind the scene bail out or maybe Blackrock takes over Coinbase when Coinbase fucks up custody.  

It is hard to know how matters will play out, since I am not going to concede that shenanigans are not happening, just like Sam Bankman Freid likely was some kind of a plant that facilitated the taking of money and an attack on "crypto".. and the FTX might not have had played out how the powers that be wanted, yet it was still allowed to facilitate some of the agenda of the powers that be in regards to shutting down 3 "crypto-friendly" banks and other kinds of chaoses and injustices that ended up playing out.

Edit:  I had meant to say that at least in our current BTC correction from the last few days, we are getting a wee bit extra correction from that shitcoin ethereum (gotten a correction from right around 0.043 BTC in the last 6 weeks to currently right around 0.036 BTC, even though it would be nice if it were to go back below 0.020 BTC as it had gotten down to in April 2025 or even lower if possible below 0.017), even though it is hard to know if the current correction of ethereum being greater than BTC is just temporary since pumping of shitcoins surely should continue to be considered as froth, even though various aspects of the USA government have gotten more friendly to shitcoins, and even grifting upon them.

The 'supposed' legislation this fall in the USA saying that you no longer have to pay income tax on what you mined and only have to pay 15% capital gains on what you sold.

With also, say, you keeping deductions of 25% off equipment like ASICs and also other biz expenses. Anyway, which means I take a chance on an ASIC mining in a data hall

again..just put electric in it and above deductions..hell, that is much, much better then what I did before 2019 when I quit big ASIC mining as such.

IF that goes through likely will get the new block,inc Proto miner (see bitcointalk thread) made in usa only tax is 7% from the county it is made in Geaorgia

open source and upgrade-able...and NO 57.4% China Tariff on ASICs to the USA. So hell, if that happens all what I said before is moot. Bitcoin/crypto will go boom!

I mean people are nuts for btc lotto miners...with above and deductions against income for business and electric..hell...everybody and his brother will get back in and mine

and have no reason to do nothing but HODL with only expenses. The worse it would get in a recession the more mining would boom vs 4-5% on say bonds.

I wish. Check out the Proto miner group on bitcointalk if more info or just google it.....IF above does not happen..ie..same old same old on taxed on what you mine

i will stay out of ASICs. Just saying a bit of hope in all above on mining for us that have 'lost the way'

and in your opinion? if its not smiling then than its smiling in a few years?

I did the terrible mistake that one can make, I was supposed to enter the market in 2014 itself around the same time period you entered but I wasn't so sure about bitcoin because I had no idea what it is and people who told me about bitcoin isn't that much clear about what it is, they just created an image like bitcoin is investment which is one of the reason I had my doubts and went huge on other path that end up terrible again my huge capital went down not just to zero but to negative that is where I lost a cycle or else I would have been sitting with a bigger stash.

But, hey... Better late than never...

So my first cycle isn't very shaky, I knew what I missed and I swore that I am not gonna make the same mistake.

And finally, JJG claiming me to be OG and becoming legendary on the same day should be some kind of sign for all in...before the UPtober.
