You’re a bitcoiner, why do you even go into work?……… but also, fine work with no long fitting in, in work; promise, no chainsaws will be required. https://blossom.primal.net/b63d0fa7645c7cbfc82b7a41f91b6d3bf1d213ad3ac3448ef0d757689803a981.jpg npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Grabbed a quick refill before the rapidly rising oil price hits the pumps. £1.89 a litre and just getting the tank full in at just under a ton. https://blossom.primal.net/0a4e448bd15c60fb1c92c81951a67f3a1d40469e590d4bbfb592ab1df9a3882a.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/93fdedf527b33beb016a3af9a5c60110c24932b13453738d91078b1319f26c41.jpg npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Deep breath, bonds are not where you flee for safety, at best bonds are where you go for slower, less brutal, but no less painful death.

Strange dreams of being out in a town I used to live with work colleges from my current job, bringing up memories I haven’t thought of for decades. Sleep and the mind are fascinating objects. #catstr now fed, #coffeechain hitting the spot and given I’m back in the fiat mind, “desk hunch”, taking a few moments to stretch while the kettle boils, but holy crap is it dark! The bond piece is already 1500 words deep, maybe need to add a very graphs but staying away from references, and my brushing over of the 2019 repo crisis is embarrassing (but not a central topic) but the analogies (not analogues 🤨) are falling into place pretty well. Still a very long way to go. First port of call this morning, @nprofile…8lnt ‘s inflation is a vector or a scaler metric……….. and it’s not even a piece about inflation……. Or is it? Peace out, be productive, and great couple of pages from #chooselife to start the day, we don’t need a job title or a corporate badge to have an identity, I’m a father, I owned a dog, I write, I like riding my bike, I dabble with hard assets, that is enough. https://blossom.primal.net/dfad22e2544524822d0de68e36efef8dbea29a03f03faab885fe92eaeafcbb16.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/25e7bd95aa1114782638d1de08b48fbf7ffe92eef09d374a7272184a3cd69637.jpg npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe 🫡🙌 may explain why I appeared very pissed off when the wife came in to tell me the washer was making a strange sound…….. npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe 😘👌 npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Simple question, how weird does it make you, if you have a burning desire to write a piece about bonds, even though you’re not an economist? The burning desire for the better of me and I’m already a paragraph deep!!!! npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe All limitations aside, have dipped my toes into bitcoin etf ownership here in the UK. While I can’t transact or self custody, I’m seeing it as my “fiat gains” allocation, so I can benefit from NGU, benefit from a higher cost base, and being a good boy along the way (currently being grilled by the bastards), all transactions will be logged on fiat rails, so no need to submit wallet addressed when time comes to sell. Weirdly a privacy preserving option!!!!!!! Very useful trip to the local gold dealer, with more info about the lockbox service they also provide……… the sort of thing I feel I can put off for another time, but in the same breath, if someone comes into my house, better there were no things there for them to take or torture me to give up. Also like the idea of putting a @nprofile…h943 pack in there, just so if I die in the short term, it will raise some questions…… hmmm what would the family say when treated by a @nprofile…uur9 foil card?!?!? Or @npub1d3f…r4xv 🫡🙌 https://blossom.primal.net/93c8554beba0e1c6c1f0226e0c718fd8c23f45ec725f3d2cd7a77a7f828e9dca.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/6c67687dab9d3235dca6d42002c840147d074a785515f3d63e64b3d2d4a3a7e7.jpg npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe High time preference 101. 🫡🙌 npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Don’t wait too late freaks, things will happen and you may be left holding a bag, probably not as badly as your friends and family, but still, cash in your bank account and other assets are at risk, find somewhere you can begin exchanges soft assets for hard (er), otc Bitcoin in the UK isn’t really a thing. On the way into work, stopped by a local gold seller and plan to make contact soon, along with maybe getting a storage box, freaks, if your private keys aren’t in your house, they can’t be stolen (maybe also have a little gold in the box as well)!!!!!! Prepare for an emergency when things are calm (ish), don’t be the one scrambling when shit goes pear shaped! 🍐 https://blossom.primal.net/b87345fc933a55eacec3e5eeabd6e81519dc341c122b720e0bd7c16c01474147.jpg #nevent1q…zud3 npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Gm nostriches, watched a video about impending changes to US trade policy, blocking trade with nations with trade surpluses unless he gets a rate cut, along with tons of gold being removed from the US, very similar to 1971. Next fed meeting, 16th September, tick tock! US dollar could be in for a rough ride moving forward, hard assets about to be the only place to be, S&P500 about to be hit HARD as the biggest firms AI dream crumbles along with the hard money value of their shares……… As with much of the news at the moment, mostly fear and bluster, with very little ultimately arising from it, but all the time, more information, chess pieces moving, it’s not about where we are or the next move, but the longer term direction of travel. Again back to @nprofile…8jdp , on Friday your savings could have bought 5 cars, on Monday it will buy a month’s shopping. Act accordingly.

Hoping it will be nice and quiet, but have some HMRC “enquiry” stuff to deal with, way too intrusive and a pure example of why people don’t want to do business in the UK. Bit of thinking and all issues are addressed 🤞 plus going to ask my competent accountant whether they have over stepped the mark and I can push back before sending the info!!! On the plus side, have an idea for a paper, and can run it along side the teaching I’m doing, so yeah, I’m doing my research, but also, totally ticking the box on the “what innovative teaching front”. 🙃 #coffeechain, #catstr s fed, and breakfast prepped for the eldest, just praying the youngest is up for school after a serious heart to heart last night………. 4 hour work week, plus me taking control of her schooling never had a bigger draw.

Would also love it to have been a student coming across the term seedwords and seeing what they could do with the post of words that found in my module! npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Really hoping that someone cracked the code, but given it moved on the 2nd of August and the fee was 3300sats, while not proof, just some doubt that it could have been hacked…….. npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Fucking around and finding out. After sending the Blake to myself to separate them, all good when returning some sats to the original wallet. One issue, when sending the real btc back to myself, didn’t my put high enough fees so it isn’t confirming…….. Hmmmm, was this @npub1lh2…a9nk ‘s plan all along, giving everyone an airdrop so that had to move their UTXOs to get the new coin…….

I really want to do this, maybe even keep some bitcoin-jr for posterity and just to have had the experience of a chain split and air drop……… And there is a side issue that will mean it will tend to zero……… all those free coins getting sold (it goes to zero), only to be moved straight into btc buying pressure………. Hold the line freaks, don’t sell your coins too early, allow it’s price to run, buy some confidence, maybe buy some bitcoin-jr, let it accrue some value, then and only then, when you sell, you will both be getting more btc AND increase btc buying pressure.

Every weekend feeling like the world holds its breath before markets open on Monday, as either the latest news percolates, or the reality of the situation sets in that markets are not functioning and you really don’t want to be left holding the bag…….. Deficits rising, bond yields screaming higher, promising of growth to counteract this (through increasing unemployment?!!!?), not really materialising. Videos of debt doom loops ever more frequent, bail ins are on the cards, prepare accordingly. Blah blah blah “bond math”, doesn’t mean shit if the fiat currency underlying it goes no bid. Hard assets, self custody, sleep well. Also, bond math is not a scalar, but like inflation, a vector!!!!! Iykyk. 🫡🙌 #catstr #coffeechain starting things off on a rainy Sunday morning.

Either way, back now, #coffeechain in hand, press ups done and a little YouTube, Richard Murphy is a Keynesian toad, but like listening to the other side, doom sayer, with an emphasis on a coming crash but maybe worth a little attention. Historically bad month in September, go into Uptober with ideas of rips, and instead there is downside volatility. Great show with @nprofile…gyja @nprofile…a524 and @nprofile…7xxj giving an awesome overview, but with the September October set up, and the crawl out of the bear bottom with potential for volatility through both months (yesterday’s post), after calling the top, I’m not bettering again Luke getting his lower entry.

Stay calm calm out there, question your beliefs and be wary when other suddenly change their’s, cheers @nprofile…vmd4 , and give credence to those with strong conviction and a track records, but don’t just follow them, learn from them and ask yourself why they think the way they do…….

Now matching up these two dates and running things through, after 6 months of chop, the mid August break out was only 2 weeks earlier than the mid January breakout in 2023, could this be a pattern emerging. While it goes without saying it won’t repeat, but it could rhyme, some moves up with some retests through September and October feels sensible as the traders return, and if we get a pull back like 2023, could see sub $65k (don’t be washed out freaks), before a move higher and if we follow what has happened before, we could hit 1.5x the initial low, which with my maths, that would be reaching around $95k and if we’re two weeks ahead, that would pretty much be around the end of October. Hmmmm, back to 100k by white paper day?

Then as a percentage of all time highs, while the bull was rather disappointing, and while we continued to follow 2014 closely through July and early August , by the end we broke away, so fingers crossed, rather than having to prepare for the bear of 2015, things are definitely looking better at 50% high than price was at the end of August 2014 (compared to where it entered summer). https://blossom.primal.net/e1c0ae40d5cc378f4ee4c99b42042cd449b4f1093f37e5777210d9b6d9614e85.png https://blossom.primal.net/a4bf4315b3fbb9284225f5895ffa8d1e4f92e015c10bc0b1fd93c81403153480.png #nevent1q…q059 npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Whoa, I got all excited that someone, either a student or a nostriches had solved the puzzle, but my heart dropped when I saw the fee of 3300 sats, very worrying that I think this was a 12 word seed generated by sparrow wallet @nprofile…z0ld , but sitting there with 1.6 million sats in a wallet that had been empty since oct 2025, hoping it was won, rather the thieved! https://blossom.primal.net/4ba4c59724dd177e03e87ab6d1b5cdea3f5419dc1d84b35019bd4e349f791d19.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/5f8db44c8ee4fdfafb2e6231ca1b3c8a7550a60b8de47ab9e86ea9b2b2d69a62.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/9eca12acb06b313b97aed3b8902702a1e5f8d48f3b647fcabfc8983fbfff1c1a.jpg #nevent1q…pk5w npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Moved from HL to ii, because ii had etns, then blocked them from sips. 🤦♂️.

But saying that, work is always a little more fun with a bit of a price bump, not so much the dollar value, but the chances this move can be sustained and then make the next move upwards. FYI, 100k is less than a 25% move away. While it is a slow game, will be watching bond yields with renewed vigour after listening to @nprofile…qrts with @nprofile…vhs2 https://fountain.fm/episode/whOyKvxosgOT1cruEbfs. Defending the Japanese yen is one thing, but bringing the euro (French and German bonds) and gbp into the mix is super interesting, will there be a point where one of these markets is forfeited to save USD, may never be a better time for the UK to be schmoozing the Donald, so they choose the bigger market (the euro) to destroy……. Hmmm, then they introduce the new “digital euro” after?!?!? Many plates are spinning I may have been a little early with calling for bond calamity in December, it isn’t how events will unwind, and could probably attempt a revision, but rather than attempting to predict, it was more a “draft of a scenario”, help me get an idea, position accordingly, so even if something different happens, we can be better informed. https://primal.net/Dug/Could-the-world-be-on-the-brink-of-GFC2-x25576 For me this means looking at the GBP in my bank account and wondering how much the government will need to abuse them moving forward, so how quickly I need to do something with them………. Whey hey, bitcoin etns now available in a Brit trading account!!!

Having missed my entry, even with a little gold move, I’ve basically missed over 40% of rises. I’m unsure I’m annoyed, if it heads back lower I may add a little, but the more this goes up, the more I’m feeling comfortable with just sitting it out and let mstr holders keep their fiat gains. The more the value of my fiat holdings falls, the less that ties me to that old system, that wants to rinse me of my time, energy and conviviality. I’m not intending on ever taking my private pension, so why bother about its value anymore…… if the value of the gold I’m holdings goes up. I might just withdraw the cash and buy some more of the real thing. https://blossom.primal.net/d751257caf2892cfb7c3f55cbf36bc3c4bf5a6f07d0d0689984b5f9e1a6f4b64.jpg npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Kyc and FATF has been implemented by criminal politicians, and the honest criminals are making full use of it. #nevent1q…fd2e npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Can’t say I’m not tempted. npub1zrmu0amjmkynxlxgmdsyrjmp8vhxdz8ch5vja9vh9ym4natg8k5s8ge9wx DugandRupe Ga nostriches, while the sun has now come out, slightly bitter sweet for the bike ride, changing out the summer mirror lens for the autumn persimmon ones.
