 The breakout continues. 

As indicated by the September and October closes, six months of consolidation at all time highs has lead to a very strong market reaction and a thrust upwards upon the election news catalyst. 

The monthly candle flagpole would seem to indicate this move still has further upside to explore. Though, @bevo's post halving target range has been entered, which could indicate a possible resistance area.

November’s close will likely indicate whether price action is exhausted and require further consolidation, or if momentum will continue through December and unleash the famed “Santa clause rally” before consolidating is required in the new year. https://image.nostr.build/9d10e8b41171f11e9be8594f3efb546b387d262cac680e49cf7bb5f2dfbdecb4.jpg  
 Your decisions re: twitter were so much better… 

Bite that hand that feeds. 
 All I see Schiff do is sell gold and other shit for bitcoin but I never see him selling bitcoin or ordinals or anything for gold. 

What a grifter, sad. 
 Project 2025 isn’t Trump’s. That’s called Agenda47. But hey, why be honest about anything when instead you need to cope and can just keep lying?🤥 
 Well, the disco 🪩 💃 🕺 is coming to an end. 

The party was fun but it didn’t last very long. 

Glam rock is the next wave. Get your perm ready @Puzzito !! https://image.nostr.build/8d0a37793ec509d2c9f72d34986c8dda7dce6aba86a0d20d83e1936b6948dae2.jpg  
 Glam rock was more main stream for sure than punk in the 80s. Punk or hip hop I’d suggest for the 90s, which at this rate could be next week! 
 Whats the scariest travel thing you’ve ever done?

 Accidentally jumped in the ocean on Costa Rica’s west coast and got caught in a rip tide that almost drowned me. Threw up from exhaustion when I finally made it back to the beach, and kissed sand. 
 Greg Foss does not understand Bitcoin at all, not sure why he's so prominent  
 The dude had a pretty large bitcoin stack and invested it into a “peaker plant” power company whose stated intention was to sell power to bitcoin miners (hut8). Peaker plants only turn on when power supplies are insufficient for demand. Bitcoin miners intentionally sell their allotment of power back to the grid during times of peak demand, as the power they’re allotted is more valuable at that moment than the bitcoin they could mine(ie- they can just sell the power and buy bitcoin)

The dude is kinda straight dumb. He calls bitcoin insurance, but used his bitcoin as capital for an investment in something that made no sense, and lost his shirt.

 Yo sorry to interject and i agree with you but slight point of contention- Hawai’i is making new real estate almost every day. Is it really scarce? What about Martian real estate? Or Moon estates? Can’t technology unlock more of that asset? 

Is it really scarcer than bitcoin? 
 I agree it’s complicated, but i guess my point of contention is in the relative nature of scarce in this context. 

Sure, hospitable land is seemingly scarce when compared to inhospitable lands. But relative to the scarcity of bitcoin, I would suggest it is actually quite abundant. 

Whatever unit of land you want to use, it would seem more than 21million humans are able to have a single unit of hospitable land. 

DuckDuckGo AI says there are 11bilion farmable acres of land on earth, and my math suggests that’s enough for 1.375 acres per person. Much more than the .002625 bitcoin available per person. 
 Right. I hear the comparison made often though. Bitcoin kind of makes real estate a commodity again, useful for its resources, rather than a store of value as some previous generations considered. 
 What camera are you trying to get? What lenses do you currently use?

 Yah pretty obvious now with hindsight that 2020 included fake ballots. 

Rabble is just coping hard, and seemingly misinformed on various topics, probably from poor quality “news” sources and confirmation bias supporting algorithms. 
 What’s worse, in states like California they made it mandatory for public school teachers to refer students who show trans tendencies, like asking to be called an alternate gendered name, to school psychologists who are then mandated to provide gender affirming counseling. Simultaneously, these teachers are PROHIBITED from communicating these happenings to the child’s parents. 
 Just followed up with good friends (who were all over me for months) about a bet on the election ... 
 Doubt my counterparty will pay out either. 
 Yah, it’s called the United States of America.

The cope is severe for rabble

 Borrowing money to buy Bitcoin never ends well 
 Depends on your cash flow, its reliability, and your ability to responsibly service your debt. 

If all of those things align properly, the CAGR of bitcoin would suggest borrowing money to buy bitcoin literally always ends well. 

But most people are debt adverse and irresponsible and irrational during volatile times. 
 Sounds like something you should work on. 
 I wonder if the bottom vents are an outlet or inlet. Bossman bought the Mac Pro one year that was a cylinder, and spilt a coffee on the table nearby one day, and the bottom was an inlet fan that sucked up the whole coffee through the Mac Pro. Destroyed it. 

 Apple has oftentimes missed the mark with their designs, but when they work, everyone forgets about the the bad ones(like that fucking G4 cube… ) 
 It’s my genuine belief that Kamala Harris’s IQ is a few points below the national average. 
 Maybe, or maybe she’s just constantly drunk or coked up… 
 As we head into the final days of the month, it looks like the breakout is being confirmed. As we’ve rallied over 7% over the last two weeks and have pushed towards all time highs. 

Bears would need to come in and dump a seriously large amount of corn on the market to change this trend.

 Just keep stacking. All goals are outlandishly over ambitious. Anything over 262,500 Satoshis is more than your fair share of the most scarce money in all history. 

You can earn that many sats on nostr posting freely provided bitcoin stickers around town. Just check out @bitcoin.rocks or even posting dope memes.

 I quit on 4/20/23 after being a 20years daily. Life’s not really much different. I am clearer minded and more focused. I get more done. Every so often someone passes me something and I take a puff and the effect is so strong now, and I’ll get that bit of an urge to spark one up for a few days or so but it fades pretty quickly. 

Agree with all your positives though. 

Being sober ain’t so bad! 
 From one side, and then the other. 

Still pretty damn grand.

 Your description of America growing to a world power from early “open” boarder policies lacks context. 

Pre revolution there was oftentimes extreme expense and hardship involved with immigrating to the USA, which often lead to indentured servitude to those whom paid for others way, slavery, or privately funded colonies bringing in people to farm and work the land- ie due to need.

There was actually very little immigration for the first 50+ years of the country’s history. Remember, it was VERY difficult to cross the ocean when this country was founded. Much more difficult to move around the world then compared to even the poorest of today’s migrants. 

In the mid 1800s, a large influx of citizens were naturalized due to the Mexican American war, and the California gold rush. But at this point still greater than 90% of the citizenry was native born, as a majority of pre revolutionary immigrant citizens had passed.

Post-1850 manifest destiny and the expansion of the country westward demanded an increase in population to settle the American west, which began the major wave of immigration we all typically think of when we think of immigration history. But it really wasn’t even until 1880 with steam powered ships that immigration really began to grow quickly.

Your comment regarding 1921 is simply false. Immigration law began post civil war in 1875 when the Supreme Court deemed immigration federal jurisdiction, which lead to the Asian exclusion act being passed that same year.
