Went from NJ to NY today to find out about my dementia ill bro-in-law and his cancerous kidney.

It is a small growth only 1.6 cm in 2017 it was 1.0 cm

Doctor thinks it grows slow and may or may not be cancerous. He wants a scan for my bro-in-law around May.

So it is okay news. could be worse.

Next silver holding at over 84 we hit an all time high to day.


also okay news.


Did 35 sales on ebay of silver 35 positive feedbacks all shipped correctly by the post office most before christmas.

pretty impressive work.

and this allowed me to buy a bit of corn this morning.

the hosted mine is running well.


will be stacking about 0.0011 btc a day for some of the year. subject to difficulty changes.


now the bad news. The Verrazano Bridge funnelled all drivers into 1 lane upper roadway and 1 lane lower roadway.

Why the Iceman and the statepolcie and new york city police were doing brown man check.

Ie they looked at you and if you were brown they pulled you over for a full id check.

blacks , non-brown asian and whites they let pass.

pretty freaking scary.

Glad to hear about your brothernlaw's cancer.  But dementia is a doozy.  I will never forget when my sister and I were on the phone. It would have been my mother's latest life-saving surgery. She was so gone.

Nice on the silver, selling and also the Bitcoin buying and mining.

yeah he has good dementia ie it was stroke induced and damaged his hippocampus.

why good it is not always progressive.

so while somewhat diminished he may never get worse.

Aging can be hard.

he had colon cancer
he had the stroke
he has vascular dementia from it.

he is only 75 could stick around for a decade or more.

those 10 pieces mentioned which are my best pieces are physically in iowa and or south dakota as he has five containers for gear.

four smaller ones in south dakota and the larger one in iowa .

he can do about 2.5 megawatts of units about 600-650 s21xps and or L9s

if he were all s21xps it would be 600x270=162,000 th

or 162ph

Phil - That is indeed interesting. Will you please explain how this is done. Do you buy the equipment and then ship it to a company in Iowa and South Dakota for them to setup and operate (run) it on your behalf? Or, does the company have the equipment and you lease it from the company located in Iowa and South Dakota?

order at altairtech.io
it gets dropped shipped to iowamining.io


both companies are in the center of the USA. shipping is fast.


use my altairtech below to buy from them if you buy gear.

How long have we been in this 87-90k range by now, it feels like an eternity.

First 2 days of January?

Since then it's been mostly over $90k.

the slot shifted and is more like 89-94k

works for me. I mine at a profit and get my btc at about 65k a coin with the mine. The only issue with the mine is what the difficulty will do.  With the off price the diff did drop



Phil - How are you able to get such a low electricity rate for your New Jersey location (presumed to need a rate under $0.07 per kWh) to make it profitable to mine BTC when the price is as low as $65k a coin?


my 9 s21xp units and 1 L9 run at iowamining.io

i run a few pieces at a loss at my house for heat and some sales and testing.

Re: 2026 usa must pay debt default means war
in Economics
Other countries, as major holders of U.S. debt, are continuously involved through their investments in these Treasury securities. Japan holds over $1.1 trillion, the United Kingdom holds over $800 billion, and China holds approximately $750 billion

Default could mean war, but usa military and financial elite got nothing to worry about because usa military strengh is superiour then most countries together.

Trump could default and if anyone telling something he can say:"come and make us to pay ?"  
Before the debt on due TRUMP need to make dollar strong wich means eu uk and other nation currencies must be weak if russia dont do war for uk and eu then USA will do itself.

Only way europe and uk can be saved is help and unity with russia but this will mean nuclear war instantly USA guarantee for all agreements are military and yes usa can default trump is not the guy who paying to someone, when you pay then other side will be strong so you are only strong and dominant and wealthy when other side are poor in debt and weak and devastated and exhausted exacly like world war 2 was usa was happy that germany was weak.

Trump built all his business like real ruthless thug trump got mobster mindset he still haven't paid debt back he dont care and now he owns just bigger business its called: " united states" he will bankcrupty usa to he allready have drwan usa in deep debt he got no attentions to pay anyone so united states bond holders this time woun't get nothing, they can go to imf bis or united nations...they can write some papers there and complain but trump don't care about any of the global laws he got only his own laws.

He could decide to say fuck off we are not paying on any bonds.

But most of those bonds are held by USA companies and people.

So it would crush the USA economies even if every other country said okay we are cool with the default the people and businesses in the USA would be broken.

Se google ai right below:


"Most U.S. Treasury bonds (and overall debt) are held domestically, with U.S. investors, institutions, and the Federal Reserve holding the largest shares, totaling roughly $19.7 trillion or more, compared to foreign holdings of around $8.7 trillion, making domestic holders the biggest segment of the market.
Key Domestic Holders:
U.S. Investors & Institutions: This broad category holds the largest chunk, estimated around $19.7 trillion (as of early 2025 data).
Federal Reserve System: A significant holder, with holdings around $4.7 trillion.
U.S. Agencies: Social Security and other U.S. government entities hold substantial amounts, about $2.4 trillion.
State & Local Governments: Major buyers, holding over $1.7 trillion by late 2024.
Commercial Banks: U.S. banks hold large quantities, with figures around $4.6 trillion in late 2025.
Total Debt Context (Late 2025/Early 2026):
Total Public Debt (held by public & intragovernmental) was nearing $40 trillion.
Debt held by the public was around $30 trillion, with bonds, notes, and bills making up the bulk.
In Summary: While foreign countries hold significant amounts (around $8.7 trillion), the vast majority of U.S. debt, including Treasury bonds, remains within the United States, held by various domestic investors, financial institutions, and government entities.
Is it a Risk for America that China Holds So Much U.S. Debt?
Oct 20, 2025 � Who owns the most U.S. debt? Around 70-80 percent of U.S. debt is held by domestic financial actors and institutions i...

So a default would crush USA people.

Maybe he could selectively do a country.

Say "China" if China attacks Taiwan he could say fuck you all this bonds held by you or any Chinese citizen are void.  He would get away with that move.

Re: higher lows!
in Speculation
this post on X made me realize that there is a pattern we can observe

2010: Bitcoin crashes to $0.1

2011: Bitcoin crashes to $1

2013: Bitcoin crashes to $50

2015: Bitcoin crashes to $200

2018: Bitcoin crashes to $3,000

2021: Bitcoin crashes to $30,000

2025: Bitcoin crashes to $80,000

after every few years, the standard of what crashing looks like for bitcoin reaches higher and higher it�s safe to assume that in 2028 bitcoin�s going to crash higher than $80,000

the point is that as time goes on, the volatility lessens and there�s less chance of you getting anxious because of how big the market has dropped but the negative side to this is that you can�t buy bitcoin any cheaper than it is today so buy it now when you can because this is probably the cheapest you�ll see it

2022 btc as low as 16-17k
2023 btc as low as 16-17k

so your chart missed that

I wonder if I should open the 129.2 proof  whiskey to awaken us from this sideways motion.

That would be cheating.

Yeah I thought the same thing.

So at least we agree on some things

I'd roll up there and take a sip of with you even though I'm not allowed to have a sip of that. 😁

There's a decent chance my eldest child may be taking a job up in your neck of the woods. I think I know where your neck of the woods is?  If it turns out she does, I'll bring you a bottle of something from down yonder.

If you want to keep your oppsec, I can leave it in like an airport locker or something. Do they have those anymore? I guess not. Somewhere.

Send me a dm I will give you an email.
