@npub16c0…6nvr Primal on iOS is again 'freezing', like it won't refresh new notes. This is on chrome webbrowser and works just fine.
Not to criticize, but give the feedback you've asked for couple of days earlier.

iOS, newest version,
yesterday Primal wasn’t working good. Was frozen at a specific note, didn’t refresh.
I tried switching to from ‘Latest’ notes to ‘Trending 24h’ notes.
But didn’t help either.

This is what Arthur Hayes is talking about. US01M (Light Blue) is below RRP rate (Orange) in preparation for rate cute coming.
Money flows into RRP. This is negative for US Liquidity and thus (conform the 'Liquidity Theory') negative for liquidity sensitive assets, like #bitcoin.

I see (at least) two issues:
1. The presence of a TV.
2. The lack of books.

Looks like $RIOT and $CLSK are running a tight operation. They still need a higher hash price to make a profit when you include general costs.
They need (and/or):
- Higher BTC/USD price
- Higher transaction fees
- Lower difficulty

Is there a way to write articles on NOSTR. And ideally with images, so you can write a paragraph, put in an image and continue writing the article? #nostr

I’m going through some 10-Q filings of public mining companies and will update with my findings. Here are some initial observations:
• $CLSK Cleanspark originally had their depreciation period set at 5 years but revised it to 3 years, resulting in an impairment expense on fixed assets of $189 million, which is about 50% of their yearly revenue.
• $RIOT Riot Platforms extended their depreciation period from 2 years to 3 years, which provided some relief in their results.
• The mining operations of CLSK result in a total cost per BTC of $69,617
• The total company operates at a cost of $80,840 per BTC. This excludes the impairment expense on their S19 machines, which will be replaced by the end of 2024.

Hi Johan! I’ve experienced that I couldn’t sent DM’s on Damus but I could on Primal.

Former Dutch Central Bank Executive is absolutely spot on:
''The real problem is the intertwining of the government with (large) corporations and NGOs (activist groups). The Netherlands is a corporatist welfare state. Worth mentioning in this regard is also the politicization of science and the considerable one-sidedness of the traditional press (including government initiatives to tackle 'disinformation')."

$SMLR is one of the companies I closely watch. They’ve added another 83 bitcoin to their balance sheet. Bought with available cash and partly through a at-the-market equity program.
They have 1,012 BTC at the moment. Sats per Share is at 14,186 and the dollar value is $8.57, which is almost 30% of their share price.

I'm thinking about changing strategy. Still have to find out if it works well enough at this point. But new strategy is posting all content on #NOSTR. And share the link of the note in other social platforms. This way people need to engage with NOSTR for checking out the content.
But still sharing notes (with primal so everybody can check it out in their browser without being logged in) because to little people know about NOSTR yet.

This chart is wild. This is the 1 month change in Long Term Holders Realized Cap expressed in USD.
It's because of a lot of coins moved towards ETF custodian wallets 5 months ago. Those coins are now maturing from STH to LTH coins. Those coins have an USD value of almost 70 billion dollars.
