M for Marauder: BTC Junk Block AttackSo about a year ago a Bitcoin mining company called MARA created a custom block full of fake Bitcoin operations in order to paint their own logo into the 2-dimensional rendering of a block. The funny thing about this is that, while the data is technically on-chain, the rendering of this data like this in 2-dimensional form is completely arbitrary and made up... Actually it's very similar to NFT "art" on Ethereum. The ETH blockchain only contains the hash of the JPEG, but the actual JPEG has to be stored off chain and can go offline at a moment's notice.

Another full moon cycle completed.Almost a week ago I wrote a post titled: Gas up the Rocket: It's Moon Time. That was pretty aggressively bullish sentiment considering the tiny pump we saw at the time, but so far it's worked out, as we've finally made a recovery back into the bullish channel that I drew a few months ago.

It's all coming together.I will soon be the not-so-proud owner of 19k TCY, compliments of the Thorchain lending scam going insolvent before the bear market even started. If I'm being honest, and I have been several times, I kind of deserved to lose everything on this play (in this case 0.25 BTC minus $8000), but there's still a small chance I come out on top and claw my precious monies back.

Crypto be weird like that.Every four years our bags get huge and everyone collectively loses their minds, but very rarely do we ever sell anything. There are no rules, number can always go higher, and it's essentially impossible to sell the pico top, leading to financial pain either way.

Damn that's prettyAfter nine days of being trapped between the MA(25) and the top of the liquidity void... we have liftoff. This is the signal I've been waiting for, for a couple weeks now. It looks like it's finally time to say goodbye to the liquidity void and transition into an uptrend for the summer; a quite common happenstance.

Shocked that I've never written about this.I just searched my entire blog history since 2017 and I'm very surprised to see that I've never written about the Monty Hall problem. It's just one of those math/gambling/statistics riddles that feels like I would have mentioned within the last 8 years, but I guess not. So to give an extremely quick overview we require some background context for another variant of this problem that seems borderline impossible and paradoxical.
