Simultaneously getting ready for Xmas whilst adding a new trade type - Swing Trade for our software. Although this functionality can be achieved via our Buy and Sell Limit orders - it isn't as pure in the sense of swing trading as the original vision.
Upcoming are more metrics for conditions to filter on for trading and bulk portfolio management.
Then back onto the application side of the Zero Knowledge Trust Security - Nostr backed.
Planes, trains and automobiles. True classic movie.
Completely off topic. Am not saying this as a fanboy. I watched the Andrew Tate and Chase Demoor fight. The overriding theme, the referee was absolutely shocking. Demoor's only tactic was to hold Tate to try to wear him out. There should have been point deductions.
Which then calls into question Tate buying that franchise and having referees that are so dire.
I haven't heard anyone pick up on that fact but TBF, it is not something am super interested in. Glad I never paid to watch it.
The second bizarre thing. I had Tate winning four rounds.
None of it made sense.
I have to talk about Cardano (ADA) as a real quandary. We are adults here - should we talk of fiat price? Yet we need a benchmark.
I believe in technology. Whilst am technically a BTC maxi, am a believer in true choice. Ever nail needs its hammer.
According to CoinGecko, it sits at number 12 in terms of fiat market cap - £10.3bn. It reached £2.24 and now is at £0.27. 27 pence!
Yet ADA is number 12 in the coin rankings. It can only make that by inflation? Yet it is claimed the inflation rate is tiny. Which means other coins have collapsed further.
If we look at many influencers over the last year or so, they were banging on about Cardano reaching $6, $10.
Every time Cardano goes up a few percent, no shortage of YouTubers and Twitter Crypto Shills claim this is the sign, we are early, buy now or miss out.
We must also ask. Okay, so imagine - "I bought $10000 Cardano and it went back its all time high?" Well, that is too much faith. Same as XRP. The data tells you that ADA is falling lower, way lower. Are you comfortable doing that?
The only way to solve this is through swing trading. Accumulate coins at their low, gain more, hoping for their rise but seeing BTC as the top dog.
SEO - Have found that DuckDuckGo is starting to provide hits to my site. Yes, DuckDuckGo appears to be one of the club for a while now - rivaling Schmoogle. Having released new content, checked our Bing Webmaster tools. Turns out it hadn't bothered to index www.cryptostatto.com since April.
Am doubting search engines will be relevant for much longer tbh. Websites acting as training data for LLMs, yet sites that perform functionality still carry weight.
Still need to post the Christmas cards. Ugghhh. Why can't they all be on Nostr?
DBeaver seems to have stopped working. I hate it when software stops working.
What are your thoughts? Considering adding a Crypto Influencer Report to Crypto Statto. Don't want to reveal too much but the main premise is that YouTube influencers largely base their content off;
1. Short term volatility
2. The FED and what it does
3. Michael Saylor
4. Longer term trends
5. Cycles
6. Whales
7. China
7. Some insightful stuff
Furthermore, it seems that too many of them;
- flip-flop on a daily basis
- Keep screaming to buy the dip
- Are wrong and right at different times
Some influencers lose a lot of money and just leave the space. Carrying a raft of faithful devotees to their financial doom.
We completed the workflow for zero knowledge trust/passwordless nostr backed security for our trade platform.
The basics of this software is to permit nostr signing for encryption of data to pass to one or more endpoints. Our aim is to facilitate fault tolerance facilitating uptime of our trading software.
However, we are looking to make this moddleware available for customers.

Start adding more trade types to the platform - Si pronto!
Well. Must admit. The interactions on Nostr are pretty ghost town like, aside from some great accounts. Despite being fully into the tech and capabilities, building on it myself. Despite X being toilet. There seems to be little to explain how it works to the relative noobie. Will keep plugging away.
It seems as if Nostr is largely large accounts from other platforms attracting new audiences disenchanted with those platforms. The rest just shouting about Bitcoin.
For example, are there extra things my account needs to do to get more reach? Just can't tell.
There is a sweet spot, but am not finding it. Other's experience?
Am getting increasingly exasperated by media doing European governments' bidding when talking up banning VPNs. Does it need explaining that many things a government deems illegal maybe censoring liberty? It is simply censorship, pure and simple.
Now imagine you are at an airport or ay a hotel and want to use WiFi?
Very good video on how prices and markets work due to market forces. Whether it is a conspiracy theory or just economic reality, for those holding crypto, definitely worth seeing the wood for the trees.
