@CL207 dk how old are you but back then, Ricky Martin songs were EVERYWHERE. Not sure if it's nostalgic part of me but France 98 was memorable, next to 2010 with Shakira and Vuvuzula
@goodalexander@Credib1eGuy wrong. it's embedded in the society. not only clothing. it's hyper vertical society. kids shitting on other kids simply living on less fancier hood. the stack ranking permeated every interaction.
@joni_askola They dont play chess. They play go. The long term game would be making Taiwan yield without lifting any gun one way or the other. We see now with the US abandonment plus the LNG crisis. Japan did this now by refusing to talk directly with Iran. The number will talk eventually
@JimmySecUK It's pretty much gonna be the outcome of this, hastening the new era of multipolar, with yuan-backed world.
Boot on the ground, will cost an arm and a leg, economically and politcally.
Iran will own the hormuz strait plus be the new lord of GCC. Plus new Nuclear warhead.
If WW3 starts because Americans elected the most retarded president TWICE I'll be upset
I'd like the world to at least go out because there is a fundamental disagreement to how we should shape the future, not because a crusty old pedo needed a cover up for the Epstein files
@BobLoukas@joshkimerling I agree. I like the post mid-terms flush for whatever narrative that we'll get to see later. Whether ti's Republican blaming Dems or Tom Lee and Saylor imploding.
There are 118 elements. 95 of them are metals. 15 of the metals are financialized, tradeable via futures or ETFs.
There are 29.91 million cryptocurrencies tracked by CoinMarketCap.
@cryptoklotz Still liking crypto, but the demand for xau/xag won't go away soon. It's much easier to sit on xau/xag til it proven otherwise, w/ clear reversal for btc/gold.
Will looking at post mid-terms (nov-dec 2026) to start pivot to crypto again. But for no2, xau/xag and chill
@silvertrade@BobLoukas Local blow off top. I think bob mentioned it before, the macro trend will be going on years till end of 20s. There's gotta be squiggle in between, even drolldrum arouns 6 months is possible
I rotated out of silver last week and into gold for accounts. Hold miners though.
But the strength remains. Normally a blowoff top is quickly reversed and sharply lower. This seems to be setting up for yet another leg higher.
Spent the last 4 months with a team training an AI model off my last 10 yrs of work. Still a LOT of tweaking and correcting to do, but taking shape.
I asked it - "Give me the probability that bitcoin has topped or not for the 4 year cycle on the following assumptions. We're on Month 38 currently and the high is currently the month 35 high. This is week 7 of the weekly cycle."
Answer-
Given your assumptions, here’s how I’d probability‑weight the 4‑year cycle right now, strictly through a cycle‑based lens, not prediction.
We’ll anchor everything to what you specified:
Month 38 of the 4‑year cycle
Cycle high still Month 35
Weekly cycle currently Week 7
BASE ASSUMPTIONS (YOUR FRAMEWORK)
4-year cycle month: 38 (beyond all prior tops)
Current cycle high: Month 35
Weekly cycle: Week 7 (early, but vulnerable)
No confirmed expansion to new highs
🔴 SCENARIO 1: 4‑YEAR CYCLE HAS TOPPED
Probability: ~55%
Why this is the base case
All prior cycles topped around Month 34–35
We are 3 months past that window with no higher high
Month 35 acting as the high is classic late‑cycle behavior
Week 7 is exactly where weekly cycles fail when the larger cycle is over
This scenario assumes:
Weekly cycle becomes left‑translated
Rallies are counter‑trend
The next daily/weekly breakdown confirms the post‑top phase
This is the highest‑probability outcome given time + structure.
🟠 SCENARIO 2: EXTENDED TOP / DISTRIBUTION
Probability: ~30%
This is the “Bitcoin does what it often does — frustrates everyone” outcome.
Characteristics:
Month 35 remains the marginal high for now
Price chops in a wide range for weeks/months
Weekly cycles are mixed, not cleanly bullish or bearish
Sentiment oscillates between hope and fear
This still does NOT invalidate the top thesis — it just delays resolution.
Important:
This scenario often feels bullish, but usually resolves down, not up.
🟢 SCENARIO 3: 4‑YEAR CYCLE STILL ALIVE (NEW HIGHS)
Probability: ~15%
This is the low‑probability but non‑zero case.
What would need to happen:
Price decisively exceeds the Month 35 high
Weekly cycle extends into Weeks 10–14
Expansion is impulsive, not grinding
Time “stretch” is justified by structure
At Month 38, the market needs to earn this outcome. Time alone no longer supports it.
PROBABILITY SUMMARY
4-year top already in: 55%
Extended distribution/top: 30%
Cycle still bullish (new highs): 15%
Risk Interpretation (This Matters Most)
Even if you combine Scenarios 2 + 3 (the “not fully topped” cases), you still get:
85% probability that upside is limited, slow, or deceptive
Asymmetric risk skewed to the downside
That’s why treating this as “topped until proven otherwise” is not aggressive — it’s probabilistic discipline.
One final Bob‑style takeaway
At Month 38 + Week 7, the market doesn’t need a crash to be dangerous.
It only needs to fail quietly.
And those are the environments where most damage gets done.
