There exists too much noise on impending doom with respect to Quantum Computing. Yet, I fail to understand the severity. So below I slowly try to piece together the various aspects. Will update this over coming weeks as I verify / learn more. Tier Algo Notes Usage Effort to Break (qubits)

In the name of Satoshi the most hidden. The most beloved & the most despised. Presented, herein, are nuggets of past few weeks of tribalism (with few historical facts peppered in), and peak bitcoin & generic crypto hatred Paul Krugman, tweeted on Nov 23 2022: Everything about crypto-currencies is fraudulent.

So many titles I could give to this note today * reflexive up & reflexive down....reflexive in jail... * super cycle to zero... * novogrets.... Novogratz goes to CNBC and quotes a tweet (from a parody account) about El Salvador asking for Sam to be extradited as a fact!! * brick or treat.

Somethings are pure coincidence and somethings are daydreams coming true. First crypto bear market I met my partner. Second bear market we had our first child. Now third bear market second child arrived. In reality there is no pattern to this except bear markets are time to go spend more

Its funny in ways that my time wasting antics of youth are now leverage-able in the saga that is ETH merge. I used to spend nights playing StarCraft ladder games against mostly Korean players; me getting beaten nearly every single time. Yet those story lines are a welcome noise in

Having the extended family in farming across me & my partner's side is great for having opportunities for hands-on nature adventures for a non-green-fingered moi. However, those farmers within this family sphere who are monetarily less fortunate also then become our struggle. In some ways the below is

Wakey wakey, William Albert Ackman - shill me more hell on CNBC please. The doors to the heavens have been closed shut and crypto whales are publicly admitting their own losses. Someone I have known since 2014 just now (18 Jun) puked a huge chunk of their BTC holdings in

Is my Mac learning from the randomness of my written musings? The original title of this note was going to be "Silence of the bids" but then i noticed the touch bar on the Mac was proposing me 3 random words. I decided to pick Cycles as the

disclaimer: I started this off as a thought on current market and where we are heading but as I finish it I feel in my quest to explain my thinking I have turned it into an autobiography!!!! I apologize in advance if anywhere I sound pompous as that wasn'

Cycles of narratives within the crypto world are not so different than those within the physical world. Its especially obvious if we are to compare crypto narratives to political campaigns. As I write the world's 5th populous country, Pakistan, has just had its Prime Minister dethroned. His position

Arthur, my sometimes ambivalent and other times pompous guru wrote recently about the correlation 1 moment that he feels is probably coming. He has hinted towards it a number of times previously however for once I wonder if he is waiting for an Armageddon that may not arrive; or if

Must start with acknowledging the sad fact of us living through yet another war while many in the 2nd & 3rd world have not yet ended. I hope & pray this one ends soon. Over past two weeks there have been many mentions of sanctions evading capability that crypto provides;

This weeks Market Huddle episode with Kris Sidial reminded me about Decentralized Option Vaults (DOV) that a few market making firms (e.g. QCP Capital) are having a very fond time taking the other side off. The crypto world seems to have given the volatility bug to tradFi markets (e.

Desperation or luck can lead to similar feelings of attachment to an idea - former, I knew of due to my formative years growing up in 3rd world; latter, I feel I have only understood over past few weeks. Admittedly, I grew up in rich family so its not a

Nearly a decade ago I joined in this Bitcoin adventure (with many ups & downs) however ever-since everyone I started off with (myself included) have been attempting to optimise our wealth generation avenues. Circa mid-2021 a realisation seems to dawn that now it's time to pivot away from

The House Financial Services Committee meeting was first time after many years I feel the lobbying game of crypto world has greatly improved. Policymakers were not just prepared with thoughtful questions but also felt less confrontational. Congressman Brad Sherman was pretty hostile but also decently funny. His mongoose coin; which
