This dire altcoin permabear and bitcoin secular bear move reiterates more than ever that dollar cost averaging is one of the worst things most retail investors can do in our opinion. Not financial advice. The number of morons, bots perhaps, screaming that bitcoin was cheap at $90k, and they were buying the dip, are the same morons that bought it at $120k. No different to the silver stackers still buying at $115. Some very big influencers, for example, have been extolling the virtues of Ripple, claiming the price will have to go to $10,000 just to cover replacing fiat payment rails. If you had bought XRP at the July 2025 high, the price has dropped to almost a third, $1.33. Personally, I can see it hitting $0.85. Once you have put whatever money you put into cryptocurrency, the first thing to do is to get that money out by swing trading and gain coins. Continue to swing trade and over time, you will end up with more coins. It is not sexy and it takes time. We have built automated trading software to do this, soon to be released but you can do this manually. You can read more about swing trading principles here. https://www.cryptostatto.com/article/Guides/About the platform/How-do-I-swing-trade-and-make-profit----Guide-to-Crypto-Statto-11-APR-2025

You know what I love about old dubbed Chinese martial arts movies? Their voices are all in Northern English accents. There must have just been a single northern translator available. Must have had work coming out of his ears.

If we look at the silver chart. On a daily basis, if you had paper and were properly trading paper silver. We can see that • Mon 26, saw a rise, high volume • Tue 27 saw closing higher, slightly lower volume • Wed 28 saw closing higher, slightly lower volume. Any sane trader would have sold on the 29th, we saw a lot of volume , anyone still in the game would have sold like crazy on Friday 30th. Now whether there was fake volume, manipulation involved is to be debated by others? However, for all the excitement about conspiracies by the silver bugs and YouTubers, just looking at a chart tells you all we needed to know. The price was going higher as volume was dropping. Three consecutive days of higher closing, with three consecutive days of lowering volume. Once we release our automated cryptocurrency trading software, we will be revisiting our analytics dashboards. These reports are accessible via an API too. We have reports like this at https://www.cryptostatto.com/analytics Big Whale Reports

Spotted a direct link between the number of Epstein files released and the price of gold.

Going out on a limb here. How many? - sold bitcoin and crypto once silver surpassed its all time high, realising crypto losses - Watched silver rise loads - panick sold silver when it dropped over 25% - bought crypto - watched it rise a bit - sold crypto - bought silver again? 🤣🤣🤣

One of the biggest mistakes crypto traders make, is to not take action when many of their coins have fallen off a cliff in terms of price action. That is exactly the time to swing trade. Why? Say you have a coin which is 95% off its all time. In fiat terms it is worthless, yet you believe in the product. So, sell a large portion for bitcoin at a percentage above the current price. Then, buy back at a level below. Repeat a few times. The worst that can happen? You are out of the original coin that has probably dropped to $100 and it does 100x. Yet, you will have bitcoin. https://www.cryptostatto.com/trading/automated-trading

To be honest. Silver was always going to drop a lot. Why? Silver had multiple overnight gaps to fill. The key thing is to not sell when it breaks its all time high as I think it will go way higher. Same with gold. However, am not buying more. This is the lesson. Swing trade to accumulate more. Avoid repeatedly throwing cash in and get over exposed is my approach. In terms of cryptocurrency and crypto statto. Still testing and preparing for a test release. Have a couple of new strategies to test. Each phase of a market cycle is an opportunity to experiment with swing trading and exit strategies .

From this perspective. It appears that the Hong Kong market opening at 11pm GMT has given up on silver. As always, feel sorry for the individual humans that partook in this capital extraction racket. Always get the cash out you put in.

Am going to get myself upto 100 pushups again. Just for the challenge. Did 70 yesterday. Have also noticed I can't do more than 50 sit-ups straight before cramping up. Pathetic. Should be capable of 100 easily. Used to do 200 pushups and 300 sit-ups straight as a teenager. Am nearly 50, so no hating. 🤣

Will keep banging this drum. Attempting to be a sound money and real asset advocate is shooting yourself in the foot if you only focus on a single asset. Gold and silver is already rallying once the Hong Kong exchanges rallied. Our account is crypto focused, but sound money wins the day - Bitcoin, Gold, Silver and other cryptocurrencies offer more transparency than fiat.

Anthony "Pomp" "Pompliano" Vs "Peter Schiff"... Bitcoin Vs Gold. Am not certain this discussion is worth having any more. Am uncertain as to whether watching it will reveal anything new. We must also question whether tribalism in Assets, when both are different versions of sound money, makes sense. The one obvious truth is that the single biggest obstacle to either becoming money are governments and financial institutions. One of the biggest hurdles to physical metals becoming money again is authenticity. The second is proof of reserves. The best way to think of crypto is as Kyosaki said - the people's money is bitcoin, god's money is gold, and government money is fiat.

Events such as the recent crypto flash-crash, the silver and other assets big extended rises and sharp falls in a day illustrates some important considerations; - Take some profits - Accumulate other assets when they are relatively cheap - if the asset makes sense long-term, stay in and ignore the noise Perhaps there is something more to it than the manipulation narrative? Perhaps we are in a state of hypernovelty and these kinds of events are becoming more common - as time speeds up! The event stream is out best chance of making sense of markets?

It makes no sense for one tribe to sit there giggling like schoolgirls when another hard asset falls a lot in price. Never once mocked goldbugs when Bitcoin was going nuts. Just as not mocking crypto holders when Gold started flying. It is a pitiful existence. The new world sound money advocates are striving for will need real assets, both physical and Blockchain based. It isn't a good look to be sat there being so negative. Take the good bits from the bitcoin haters and the good bits from physical metals haters. Some of their arguments help increase understanding. https://www.cryptostatto.com/article/Crypto Opinion/Blog/Tribalism-in-Assets-Gold-Cryptocurrency-Altcoins-14-Jan-2026

The lesson to be learned from silver, for me, is that it reveals the mania of markets. Those into cryptocurrency, in particular bitcoin have seen this hundreds of times before. The big recent one was the cryptocurrency rug pull. Assuming nefarious actors, these rugpulls have the effect of wiping many out and creating a "wall of worry". The same has happened to Silver today as it happened to Bitcoin. My stance is that you have to take some profits off the table when big rises happen, unless you are looking at holding for multiple years. These dips are what make gains for those with a trading mindset.

Too in the thick of releasing software, but honestly think that will be moving most machines off windows by the end of 2026. Most stuff is containerisable. Windows 11 won't run on any of my existing hardware, am certain could run windows server on a machine and dispense with the windows 11 nonsense. Then there is all the AI and privacy concerns. Maybe an option. For now, number one focus is getting out a cloud version of our dedicated trading software...

Let us be honest here. If you believe in sound money and the confidence of the Blockchain, you should have been in Bitcoin, Gold, Silver and other cryptocurrencies. You won't want to sell bitcoin to scramble into precious metals and vice versa. Instead, intelligently exit or remain, your choice, but please don't sit there waiting for the latest fed announcement. Gold has done 6% today. Silver swung back and is nearly 10% up. Sitting there crying that bitcoin is not following suit is to reject all the long-term believers in physical metals.

It seems like a Gold and Silver are the latest assets to suffer neverending YouTube videos from people that have zero idea where is the price is going telling you where the price is going.

Dinner parties mostly involve people saying AI 🤣
