That's right, imagine buying your new cell phone and you never have to charge it, yet it never runs out of power.  That might not be so far fetched any more, not if a Chinese technology called BetaVolt delivers on it's promises - and by all accounts that looks to be the case. It can be as small as a coin and multiple batteries can be combined to output higher wattages.  This has the potential to be a game changers in the battery universe.

Just a quick little note.  Regarding the Crypto bear market, my gut tells me that we are just wrapping up the Bear market, and we are about to embark on a new Bull run.  Although it looks like we have put in our Bear Market low, the technicals I look at, and the people I listen to, follow all agree that although we are close to saying a Bull market is underway, we are just one confirming signal short of that. With that backdrop, I find the chart below very interesting.  It's a comparison of the weeks and months leading up to the Bull market in 2018 to what we are seeing right now.  Pretty impressive, right?

I'm not a conspiracy guy.  I've never written about conspiracies, and I don't believe in any.  This is not about a conspiracy.  This is speculation, based upon available facts, regarding Trump's cache of Top Secret documents.  It's the what and why of them not being where they are supposed to be. When Edward Snowden released thousands of top-secret documents into the wild in June of 2013, the Intelligence Community was alarmed and for good reason. Not only was the number of Top-Secret documents released substantial – the Australians claiming 15,000 of their documents were exposed, British officials acknowledging 58,000 of theirs, and a declassified Defense Intelligence Agency report said 900,000 DOD files were exposed. In addition to this,160,000 operational NSA emails and 7,900 classified files taken from over 11,000 accounts were also revealed.  Later estimates by U.S. Officials puts the total number of NSA documents alone that were disseminated by Snowden at 1.7

 I think we all like the bottom of Bear cycles in the stock market.  I think that's what we are going to see with Crypto this week. Those who are still holding Crypto during this retracement, take heart, we are almost there - or at least I think we are. If you like bear bottoms, this one is for you. It should be the end of the bear market and the start of another bull run. I trade Ethereum (ETH) almost exclusively. Right now I think we are finishing wave 2 of a mini 5 wave down trend. We should finish waves 3-5 probably before next weekend, maybe even by Turnaround-Tuesday. See the attached ETH chart and you'll wee what I mean. Once we hit wave 5, I expect a fairly quick run up from about 1160 to the lower 3000's. Put in $1000 and pull out $3000 a couple of months later.  Not bad. As long as ETH stays above $1000 we should be good. If it breaks $1000, that's bad news all around. That means we are going to be setting a new low for ETH and it means the Bear market i

Back on July 16th I said that I thought the bear market had ended that day and we were starting a new bull market. Only time will tell if I was right because we haven't had enough time to call it a bear market. But, in that time, Ethereum, the bellwether coin that we measure with, is already more than 50% from that date and 120%+ since June 16th (2022). There are a lot of coins that did better than that, but for a "safe" bet like Ethereum, that's a really nice move. But, it's not too late. Ethereum makes a change on September 26th that will dramatically improve it's capabilities. I think we are going to fairly quickly see ETH return it, and pass it's all time high of $4891.70, maybe even before the end of the year. Now there is always the chance that ETH, and all coins, will turn around and head back down for a test of the low of $876.54.

Artwork by Steven Grundy The long awaited Ethereum "Merge" is finally upon us.  I've heard people say "So what".   So what?  I think they don't understand the implications of the merge.  Either that or they really are betting against Ethereum. I think this upgrade is probably the biggest thing for Ethereum since smart contracts first came out.  This change has the possibility of upsetting the apple cart in terms of Ethereum and BTC.  That's a big claim, but I really think it's possible. The Ethereum Merge has been set for the week of September 19th, 2022.  The merge is when the Ethereum execution layer will be joined with the new proof of stake consensus layer.  What does that mean and why should I care? What it means is that Ethereum will be changing from an energy intensive Crypto coin like all others to a 99% more efficient crypto coin like only a few have done.  Right now Ethereum is mined just like BTC and a host of other Crypto currencies.  Tha
