76 hours of fasting was interesting. I had never not eaten for more than 20 hours. Once I got to day 2 I wasn't hungry. My body was in a different mode. I will probably do a 3 to 5 day fast once a year. I only drank water but added a little Sea Salt and a little Magnesium.
As far as the short positions I got the drop i was looking for and the BTC one was only 1.3X leverage so it was getting annoying and would have taken a ton to earn on.
Those were more to prove out the Kalshi platform for perp trading. Things will be a lot funner once we legit go back up.
I think we are looking at more downside for multiple reasons. Macro conditions and people are getting crushed and flushed out. We haven't seen max pain yet. We aren't in the red on the fear and greed index.
Once again guys. Like I have said several times. This isn't a bull market. It was always a bull trap. 🐂🪤
It took about 12 hours to further prove out what I said in the last post. I'm vindicated in taking a short position. Not huge payouts but didn't want to risk too much. Still have some other stuff that can ride.
Right now I need to focus on a hackathon I'm in. I didn't want to stare at charts.
I'd like to see one more small pump. I did notice that one of my limit orders popped yesterday on SOL.
SOL is starting to look pretty cheap. I was thinking it might get to $50 this summer but it never got that low and that mini meme storm micro burst 🌪 popped off. I get you on stacking some for a swing trade or just for the long term stack.
It's interesting because I go back and forth between buying solar panels and preparing for the grid to go down and wanting to build that mega stack for the next big run up but also worried about a large macro collapse in the stock market, car market, housing market, and AI Terminators taking over. 🤪
I've never held SOL in the past even though I was taking a hard look at it after the first big scandal with it when the price dropped down under $20 or whatever it was. I wish I had pulled the trigger back then. If I were in the position, I would probably buy the solar panels. I don't want to put the money into my current house though.
A lot of the panels I'm getting are free standing and foldable panels encase the Gubment cuts the power to everyone as a false flag to say we need to ramp up efforts on the Forever wars.
Either that or an EMP or Nuke goes off
I'm trying to think of all possible scenarios and what would work and what wouldn't under certain conditions.
I got a battery power station that can be charged with AC power or solar panels. Also AC inverters that can be used if cars still can start and there is still fuel. My parents have 250 Gallons of fuel in a tank.
Theoretically we could be posted up for awhile if all the power had been cut off and the trucks weren't shipping things to stores but then you have to defend the fortress from scavengers.
We figure the new vehicles will get auto shut off and if the older vehicles boards get fried the only things that would run are some of the old tractors.
Most people would be in trouble in 3 days.
I've been looking at the jackery system. I don't know if it would be much help though. If things go sideways, there probably isn't much hope in general. Not without a lot of land and resources at your disposal.
Are you seeing more downside to btc from here?
(Btw — workouts are paying off..)
