Nice to see green on the cryptocurrency markets. Is this where all the crypto YouTubers fire up their webcams, put out hopium, only for the majority to buy more, then for it to drop again? Or do you swing trade small amounts like many times before? Watch out for phrases such as; - the FED is printing - USD is collapsing - many are taking precious metals profits and putting it into crypto - Saylor says this Etc

Silver - questioning the narrative, trying to figure out if many broadcasters and influencers are just repeating what they hear from other content publishers is essential. All am hearing about is how China has banned the export of silver from 2026. They haven't apparently. Instead, producers only producing over a certain tonnage per year in silver can apply for an export license. Which means whilst supply may be severely limited, it is not a total ban on exports. The reason silver exports from China will be limited is largely down to the amount of recycling China does to recover silver. Potentially inferring that if countries had better ways to recycle and refine silver, much more could be recovered. This the same as rare earth minerals. It is again, China's refining and extraction processes rather than the abundance of rare-earth minerals. Again telling us that the West is failing to invest in modern production capabilities.

Yes... My account was set up to learn more about Nostr and get knowledge of Crypto Statto out there, automated trading and crypto analysis but silver is flying....

What it is like trying to tell people about Bitcoin.

Now everyone is an expert on Greenland it seems.

This is really where silver is... £59.80 paper £80 for a 1oz Britannia. This bodes well for crypto also. When the world is becoming more fake, integrity wins.

Very close to adding bursts to our automated trading software. The software works by having multiple trade rules against a strategy with a very rich number of filters to determine when trades are submitted to the exchange. We can already decide how many trades we submit based upon existing orders. The burst approach is at individual trade rule levels. The main aim is to permit trade evaluation every minute but delay creation of trades at the trade rule level for 10 minutes perhaps. This can spread out trade duration and avoid bunching of trades around similar prices.

Without wishing to offend most of nostr and some followers. There is nothing smart in boasting that "You're buying the dip!" Bitcoin goes up 2%, many claim it is going to the moon. It goes up another 1%, more boasting then it drops 5%, more boasting about how cheap it is so obviously, buy some more - innit. If Bitcoin flash crashes 15%, well, buy some more. Why on earth would one not buy and sell over time, even if a long-term toddler? There is no need to put cash into volatile assets once you have a certain amount.

We have reached the end of society in the west. Not too long ago, people would use headphones if consuming media online. Now, they play mobile phones at full volume on public transport.

Aside from a couple of tweaks, we have been testing our new trade type - Swing Trade. Looking super promising. Hoping to enhance datasets this week and start on user guides with a view to offering our Automated Trading Software to cryptocurrency traders in 2026. Pretty pumped!

Happy New Year for Nostr citizens. Here is hoping we can get our trading software out for customers and collaborators early 2026.

That's the hardest thing to do. Playing sport with a child to ensure you don't hurt them but let them win without losing. Harder than normal competitive sports.

This Asia Guy / silver guru is a worrying glimpse into the future of AI. My estimation shows videos are released every two hours. 25-50 minute long videos. The videos are pretty rational. If there was fine, one could spend most of their day watching these videos - on a single asset. We know that humans would struggle to create original content this fast, it appears at times, maybe a video an hour. The dystopian facet of constant reports on history and the future by AI, is enough people believe it knows the future.

Should be very close to testing our new Swing Trade Type for our automated trading software. The key difference is that we are aiming to avoid price slippage on the last executed by or sell order. We are already seeing coin gains on small portfolio sizes. Testing has more focused upon validation and gap analysis than trying to get rich in an altcoin bear market.

Silver at £53.56 paper and £73 physical. That's like buying a digital cinema ticket and turning up to find there are no seats left.

This Asia Guy and silver story is fascinating. The silver price has expectedly been slammed today. I have always said that those in Cryptocurrency have seen most market cycles in a matter of days to weeks that traditional markets experience in decades to centuries.

This Asia guy stuff is blowing my mind. Not from not being accurate, but because it fits the narratives those outside of the mainstream have been knowing for years. Obviously the Asia Guy - AI videos. China about to ban exports of silver? Much of the narrative fits. Yet we don't understand what is behind it? To summarise it feels as if the whole play was simply about using the Bear Stearns short position to accumulate physical silver. Yet it feels too perfect if not dystopian.

Silver is flying

Happy Christmas

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.
