The Bank of Japan raised rates to 1%, the highest level in decades, yet Bitcoin's reaction appeared relatively limited compared to what many expected.

Does this suggest that Bitcoin is becoming more resilient to major macroeconomic events or is it too early to draw that conclusion?

I want to ask people (traders more likely) who will open leveraged long, IF the bottom forms around October. Elliott wave theory with fibonacci tools really helps determine next moves, combined with proper reading of RSI, volume and 200 day MA as the potential ceiling.

So the question is what would determine that the bottom is in?

I use things I said, but structurally interesting fact, last cycle bottom was about -12% from the wave 3 of bigger C wave, 2 cycles back it was -46%. Not some certain 100% move we will get less than -12% so we could do 8x at least, but also would you use this probability as a fact about diminishing returns? And what are the other structural metrics or on-chain data you will use? Thanks

What are for you the critical points, which make btc a good solution/respons?

Most people discover Nostr as a Twitter replacement. That's fine, but it's only the surface.

​

When you connect your LND node to Nostr via Nostr Wallet Connect (NIP-47), something more interesting happens: Zaps hit your node directly — no custodian, no KYC, no middleman.

​

The flow looks like this:

​

Nostr Client → encrypted NIP-47 request → Relay → your LND node

LND node → encrypted response → Relay → Nostr Client

​

The relay never sees the content. Nobody in the middle knows what's happening.

Most trackers auto-sync everything. Mine doesn't — you type each buy in by hand. I built it that way mostly out of stubbornness, honestly.

But something I didn't expect happened. Typing in every buy made me actually look at it — the amount, the date, the "why did I do that one." A synced dashboard hid all of that behind a clean number and a green percentage.

The friction I thought was a flaw turned out to be the part I value most. It keeps me honest about what I'm actually doing with my stack.

Does anyone else feel like automation makes you think less about your Bitcoin, not more?
