bitbot[asciilifeform]: Logged on 2023-06-19 23:37:26 awt: dunno if that's even possible
asciilifeform wonders if has to do with python's faux multithreading, where actually blocks ( and is udp receiver even in separate thread ? )

awt[asciilifeform]: Pondering how to handle multipart messages currently marked as BroadcastText.
signpost[asciilifeform]: blackrock getting in before the next halving, and just as the SEC takes action against existing exchanges, is pretty entertaining.
signpost[asciilifeform]: fuckers are going to hoover up the real thing behind the scenes as they suppress paperbtc just like they all do with gold.
signpost[asciilifeform]: I am tbh inclined to sell everything during the next bull run.
awt[asciilifeform]: It has been entertaining. "It's an etf!" "It's an etf!" "Etfs are bad!" "Etfs are good!"
awt[asciilifeform]: *"it's not an etf"
signpost[asciilifeform]: can "buy when there's blood in the streets" onside with the vampires.
asciilifeform: signpost: when to 'sell errything!!1' is 'matter b/w you and odin' obv
asciilifeform not does 'buy cheap, sell dear' b/c imho pointless to do with taxablecoin
asciilifeform: http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2023-06-20#1027141 << this'd 100% explain it, then -- thing's busy when it oughta be eating a packet

asciilifeform: ( apropos, asciilifeform's algo for 'when sell' )
dulapbot: (asciilifeform) 2022-01-19 asciilifeform: spend no coin where...
signpost[asciilifeform]: long term capital gains is 20%, so if this next one swings the same way all the other halvings have, plenty of room to repurchase more coin with the proceeds.
signpost[asciilifeform]: http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2023-05-07#1025819 << might as well put my own ass on the line when making claims like this.
bitbot[asciilifeform]: Logged on 2023-05-07 17:07:18 signpost: here's something to ponder. BTC price floor for the past 4 years has been predictable from difficulty alone. https://www.tradingview.com/x/IaNPNGCr/
asciilifeform: signpost: wouldn't one want to load up , per this theory, prior to halving, rather than sell off ?
signpost[asciilifeform]: loaded up.
asciilifeform: then makes sense
asciilifeform: unless of course 'this is last turn of screw' and blackrock et al are counting on folx to follow this algo, and intend to, as signpost suggested, vacuum then close the papercoin idiocy & stop the waterfall
signpost[asciilifeform]: right, it requires there remain on-ramps after.
asciilifeform: so logically one oughta believe in theory 1 xor theory 2
signpost[asciilifeform]: if the regulatory environment keeps getting worse I'll just grab firmly to my balls and forget how to access my coin for a decade.
asciilifeform operates strictly in 'fughet you have it' mode
signpost[asciilifeform]: entirely respectable.
asciilifeform: ( if had enuff to break orbit, would rethink. but not has )
signpost[asciilifeform] napkin math says about 4x BTC can be had if the halving's traded well
asciilifeform: with certain probab. of being caught w/ pants down, naturally
signpost[asciilifeform]: sure, plenty of risk
signpost[asciilifeform]: another indicator that looks useful is the amount of BTC being held by miners, if you believe glassnode data.
signpost[asciilifeform]: they appear to collude to withhold BTC prior to halving, probably by taking out loans
asciilifeform: lulzy if tru
asciilifeform: easily has the potential to fuck the 'price floor after halvings' effect, which'll make it a painful own goal for'em
signpost[asciilifeform]: yeah, fiat as all hell.
