I know it’s been forever and a day but I did find some time to set it up today. Works pretty well. Set up uptime kuma just to test it. The more apps you can get for it, the better. I love the idea of having an option other then cloudiron for this kind of stuff.

2026-03-30 16:03:21 UTC

Finally got around to setting up ditto so I can play around on nostr but also see posts on here as well. But I like the idea of having a second place on decentralized social platforms. Anyone can follow me over there from here if you want:

Agreed. Anonymity is very important. Embedding your identity into an OS can lead to massive privacy issues if not now…eventually.
This is why open source matters so much. As long as I can download an OS for free stuff like this becomes very hard to enforce.

I closed the butterflies I put on yesterday for, basically, break even. I could have stayed and waited it out, but I'd rather just move on, put on something new next week and not take the weekend risk. But it would have been ok to leave it on...it wasn't in bad shape, I just didn't feel like dealing with it. My trades are cattle, not pets.

With the further down move today, I put on a new 22-day unbalanced butterfly 95 up / 100 down centered at 6510P. Decent room and it cuts my overall Vega exposure a bit.
The calendars from yesterday are doing fine.

it will be interesting if they can actually make money. It’s going to be tough competing with the likes of Google and Microsoft who can subsidize their engines with large profits from other divisions. I could easily see them getting bought out by someone like IBM, Oracle, or even Dell. I don’t see any of those as good for the product but good for the investors.

My calendars from Thursday closed today for a bit over 8%. Even with the wide swings this morning, the trade never got into trouble. The IV spike kept the trade in a good position, then the rise helped close it. A roller coaster to be sure, but it was quite resilient.

It’s only been since the 80s that skaters (i.e. not goalies) have been required to wear helmets. And whenever they implement a rule like that it’s only for new players, the rest are grandfathered. Rod Langway was the last player in the NHL to play without a helmet.
It’s a cultural thing in the NHL. Serious head injuries aren’t as common as other collision sports with the current helmet s most are cuts, bruises, nose breaks and, of course, the stereotypical front teeth.
Besides, how do you punch a guy in the jaw if there’s a cage there? That’s why goalie fights are rare and kind of funny.

What adoption? Crypto hasn’t has wide spread adoption as any kind of currency. The number of transactions are insignificant compared to national currencies.
The world isn’t going to standardize on a single currency of any kind. I’m sorry, it just won’t. Most people need centralized systems because they aren’t responsible enough to really run things on their own and they don’t want to even if they could. Do you honestly think that a system that relies on people properly storing and protecting their keys is sustainable?
Lots of good ideas don’t scale. Remember when they were trying to get everyone to wear masks to stop the spread of COVID? That was doomed. Can masks work? Yes, they work in hospitals. Why? Because you have a very small number of well trained professionals using them. But that system doesn’t scale to the general public. Crypto is similar. Could it work within a small community of enthusiasts who really understand it? Sure. But that system won’t scale.
I absolutely get the idea of a decentralized private financial system. I appreciate the ideas and motivations behind it. But I also live in the real world and know that such a system won’t scale to tens of millions yet alone billions of people.
Another great example is where we are right now…the Fediverse. I love and appreciate the concept. I run my own instances. I get it. It makes sense to me. I also know that mass adoption isn’t going to happen. Most people don‘t care enough to be here. They like the simplicity of the centralized services even though they are literally the product. Such is the way of the world.
Look, you can buy all the BCH you want and I sincerely hope it goes up and you make solid gains from it. But it is absolutely not going to get widespread adoption to come close to being a true alternative to national currencies, yet alone become the single global currency. I think I’ve made a very solid case that has not been refuted with any actual evidence…just “it will someday…”.

Europe has tried to unite behind a single currency…it hasn’t gone well. The member states‘ economies are too different…and that’s just Europe. You are claiming you can do the worldwide? Because the US should use the same currency as Cambodia and Zimbabwe? That is pure delusion. Sometimes things haven’t been done for a reason.
Doing what everything all other coins do is not a reason to adopt it. You need more than that. Otherwise there’s no reason to change.

An interesting theory, but Pokemon cards are, essentially, a collectible. That market is very tough because the majority of the items end up worthless. I remember TV ad (back when I watched regular TV) for all sorts of things that were supposed to be valuable some day…civil war plate sets, silly physical coins, beanie babies. Guess how much they are all worth 30 years later? Essentially nothing, certainly not what the people paid for them. Can you strike it rich in collectibles? Sure.

And how well has everyone using the same money worked out so far. It's great in theory, but doesn't really work in the real world.

One needs to pick an argument. You can’t say it’s valuable because it’s limited in supply then in the next breath say once the supply is depleted another coin will be more valuable.
It you see crypto as a currency, then its value is what you can trade that currency for and how easy that is. In that race USD blows BTC away. USD has more transactions for things that are not USD in a day than BTC has in a year
As a spec trade I get it. But it’s not a real currency.

2025-12-03 14:06:12 UTC

- reply

Exactly no one actually did. People bought btc because number go up. To the extent that there is utility in BTC (or any crypto for that matter) that utility isn’t worth much monetarily.
The problem is that these projects have a super low barrier to entry so even if one finds a good utility use case, there’s an infinite number of identical (or nearly identical) projects that can spawn quickly to do the same thing. No matter how high demand gets, supply can match or exceed it.
But BTC isn’t infinite. While true it can be infinitely forked. An infinite number of finite sets is still, from an economic point of view, infinite.
I got into this thread more just to put in my thoughts on trading anything, not to endorse or discourage what one is trading.

Now that things calmed down, I sold off the calendars and the long put. Just 2 flies remain. Messy, but took off a bunch of risk and squashed my deltas. The other 2 trades are fine.

I like my Proxmox cluster. I run various services on it including my Fedi instance and my blogs. It’s a fun hobb:

Ah, whipsaws are fun, eh? Sold off one of the flies from this morning, probably only needed one to start with, but that's 20/20 hindsight. Anyway, just trying to keep the deltas low and wait it out.

I added 2 flies to the bottom of my diagonal..flatten out deltas and added some room. Are we having fun yet? :)

I put on new unbalanced butterfly 75 up / 80 down APR 17 centered at 5780C. With the calnedars already on, I like the ideas of cutting my vega a bit. Little risk to the downside as well on this one.

My latest trade review video is up on BitChute and Rumble.
This is an unusual week because I didn't put anything on or take anything off, rather I worked 3 different trades through an FOMC Meeting. A lot of times, I'm out of the market over these, but this week I was very much in and I talk about why I was willing to do so.

Sold off the flies on my fly/cal combo. Not I'm left with just calendars. Keeping these on a short leash. The other trades are holding up better.

I rolled the shorts of my calendar turned diagonal back to make it a simple calendar again.

So we have some real volatility which we haven't seen in a while so in this episode you'll see how I'm navigating some big moves and still managing to eek out some profits. It's important as a trader to be able to trade different types of markets so this has some good lessons for me and, hopefully, for you as well.

Jeffries is Obama without the charisma. Dems made him House leader to appease the left but Pelosi is still running the party over there.

While I was flying this morning my calendars closed for a 6% profit. Probably should have set it higher, but I’ll take it, especially after the adjustments.

Next, my calendars I put on Weds. With only being 2 days old, these were tougher. At first I rolled the shorts down 5 points to flatten my deltas. This bought me some time and saved some money as we continued to drop. Finally around 2:30, I closed the whole thing for a 15% loss. It sucks but it could have been worse. This is why risk management is so important.

Busy day away from my desk so, of course, we have a big move.
First, my older calendars: All I've done so far is take off the 3 upper calendars that I put on the upside. This is one reason why I only put on 3...in case we pull back, not as bad of a hit. I might diagonalize it, but not just yet.

CPI and JPow talking moved the market around a bit but, with another lesson in patience, I was able to make a decent profit this week. Take a look and let me know what you think.
