Yeah it creates about 20-35 clips on average from a 10-20 minute video, less for shorter ones. So my workflow is mostly creating the long-form videos and posting the short ones after some light editing. And while opus does select clips somewhat randomly (the only real drawback), it does at least attempt to find the parts of the video most likely to go viral and gives you a score of 1-100 for things like the strongest hook, trending topic, etc.

Bitcoin's miner death spiral theory: If prices drop, miners shut down, hash rate falls, fees spike, users leave, and the network collapses. It's a persistent fear, but does the difficulty adjustment protect it? #Bitcoin

Price just wicked beneath the 200-week SMA briefly. First time that's happened since 2022. The coming days are crucial. Even a single daily close beneath $61,694 could open the door to much lower areas, vindicating all the bears.

But the longer it holds, the closer a bottom is

@BDNcontent @TheRealPlanC 61694

(The 200-week SMA sits right at ~$61,694 as of the latest data, confirming your read and acting as key cycle support.)

[Brian D Nibley @BDNcontent]

@TheRealPlanC I believe the 200-week SMA is right around 61k-62k now. That's been support this entire cycle so far. @grok can you confirm where the 200-week SMA sits for BTC/USD at present? Respond with the number alone. IF you can't calculate it with 100% confidence, say so.

[Brian D Nibley @BDNcontent]

@BitcoinNewsCom Heresy, the calls for $32k are everywhere 🤡

[Brian D Nibley @BDNcontent]

right now, bitcoin is down exactly 50% from its all-time peak. Moves like that used to happen in a matter of days.

[Brian D Nibley @BDNcontent]

This one is particularly relevant with today's trending topic of the price of BTC dropping below production cost.

[Brian D Nibley @BDNcontent]

True but then I'd have to cut each clip from the long form video manually, and that takes a lot of time. The beauty of Opus and why it's worth $29 is it automatically clips and adds captions, and then with their editor I can easily and quickly add b-roll, cuts, and transitions if I want. But for the most part I don't do much editing of these because right now my main concern is posting consistently.

[Brian D Nibley @BDNcontent]

@Hedgeye Good thing there's a difficulty adjustment that will make it cheaper in the next 2-4 weeks.

[Brian D Nibley @BDNcontent]

@DB_Visuals_ Yeah I don't have budget or time for a pro editor at the moment, $29/mo for Opus at least allows me to produce something with captions and b-roll quickly. The focus for short-form content is quantity over quality for now.

[Brian D Nibley @BDNcontent]

Okay...and this is different from anything else how exactly? We already know the NSA monitors, records, and stores practically all digital activity. Why do you think they keep needing to build bigger data centers? It's not just AI, but data storage. All that data requires storage space. And it's the same concept - it's all stored so that if you're targeted 10 years later, something can be found. Snowden revealed this 13 years ago and nothing has changed.

[Brian D Nibley @BDNcontent]

Matt Kratter has some good stuff on that. You can use an old laptop, download Core or Knots, and run it. Other options include buying a Start9 or Umbrel home server (most expensive but often best option) or using a Raspberry Pi (most technical but more affordable). The cheapest + easiest way is to use an old laptop if you have one.

@SteckAaron5040 @CryptoKid @saylor This meme really lets my hope down. Was at least hoping for something more clever on slide 4. Something like "Michael Saylor selling is bullish." You know?

[Brian D Nibley @BDNcontent]

@OnrampBitcoin Apparently they also sold in December 2022? If so, why is this such a big deal now?

[Brian D Nibley @BDNcontent]

XRP creation? More like printing money out of thin air. Corporations dump on retail monthly. Ripple sells billions to fund operations, pocketing fiat from retail demand. It's a rigged game. #XRPCommunity #CryptoScam #Altcoins

[Brian D Nibley @BDNcontent]

@bitcoin_bugle @grok explain this meme to me like im mentally challenged

[Brian D Nibley @BDNcontent]

@CaffeSatoshi I really needed this hopium today, thank you. I'd re-tweet this but I'd probably regret it about a year from now.

[Ben Justman🍷 @BenJustman]

I just bought 800,000 bitcoins

Now crash the market after I sell 32 of them

[Brian D Nibley @BDNcontent]

XRP started with 100 billion pre-mined tokens, 80% held by Ripple Labs. Bitcoin, however, required mining with real hardware and electricity over 17 years. #XRP #Bitcoin

[Brian D Nibley @BDNcontent]

@BitcoinNewsCom Sounds like a better idea than the whole Citrea CTR thing, that's for sure.
