I have a confession. I was killing it doing some leverage trading for a good while. This last dip rinsed me, but now I understand why.
I was neglecting my other projects. I needed a bitch slap ✋ to re-focus. Unfortunately, that means me losing some BTC, but it's a great learning lesson.
So back to building on my main business, and continuing my BTC treasury plan with it.
I do have this UI for my trading bot that I made. Not sure what to do with it!


So MSTR introduced the term BTC Yield. I don't like it.
- It's not yield
From what I can tell, it's just saying that they plan to diluate MSTR shares by 4-8% annually to buy Bitcoin, which averages 55% over a 4 year period.
We knew this already, right? But why call it "yield"?
To lure in tradefi?
I got my ass handed to me with the dip from $69k >$65k. I should stick to my signals and stop trying to time trades!
In the past 24 hours , 92,086 traders were liquidated , the total liquidations comes in at $365.19 million
The largest single liquidation order happened on Binance - BTCUSDT value $11.78M

Almost $157M in liquidations tonight.


Has anyone gotten @LN Markets LNURL callbacks to work? I've manually done my own LNURL auth, but their callback asks for an HMAC.
I thought you only needed the k1 (provided by me), signature and publickey (provided by wallet) to confirm a signature?
(it also wants an HMAC and tag)

German government learning a hard lesson right away now.
I enjoy building new things, lately focused on playing with @LN Markets API and LNURL authentication.
Is there a way for me to make a living do this? 💭
Here's the latest update, wondering if I could help push Bitcoin forward and work on something fun by joining a team, OSS, anything.
I like to jump around the front and backend, more of a bug squasher and problem solver.
Who needs help?

Buy now, refinance later?
Or wait until rates come down, buy at higher price?
Decisions, decisions.

Core PPI (inflation indicator favored by the Fed) came in WAY under expectation (0.0% vs 0.4%), so 10 year yield tanking. 50/50 chance of a pause on the 22nd by the Fed.

So SVB keeps AUM under $250B to avoid being declared a systemic risk bank with additional oversights. Before the stock crashes and FDIC takes over, CEO sells over $3M in stock and pays out employee bonuses. Then today, Fed declares it a systemic risk bank anyway and bails them out full stop, even though Yellen said we won’t yesterday. 🤡
Yet again, play with fire, get too big, and you’ll be saved. Rewarding poor risk management. (SVB didn’t hedge interest rate volatility risk like everyone is supposed to do)
