Do You Like Bear Bottoms?

 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 isn't done. As long as we turn around before hitting $1000, we are in a very good place. In fact if we head up before hitting $1000 and we break and hold above $1400, then the deal is sealed and our next stop is $3000+.

In fact almost everything should turn around, not just Ethereum.  We'll finally see BTC turn around as well as a lot of other Tokens that have taken a hit the past few months.  I expect almost everything to take off, and there are a lot of attractive very low priced tokens.  Consider, instead of riding ETH from 1200 to $3000, what about riding RVN from $0.03 to $0.30. That's a 10X return on your money instead of a 3X return. Or try AAVE, or MATIC, or POLY, or HNT.

I'm not saying to do it, I'm just saying there are a LOT of opportunities there right now.  It's important to get them at the bottom because otherwise you could be buying them right before a significant dip and as you can see, crypto has a tendency to pull back sharply when it pulls back.

Of course nothing is for sure.  This is not investment advice and don't use money you can't afford to lose. Remember, past performance is not indicative of future results.

Troubleshooting a Discourse Update on DigitalOcean: Resolving Unresolvable Errors

For the past three years, I've maintained a Discourse server on a DigitalOcean Droplet. Recently, I decided to update it with some of the latest Discourse features. What I anticipated to be a straightforward update process turned into several days of frustrating setbacks. The version of Discourse I was running was already three years old, so I assumed that running the built-in "Update" feature would suffice. However, after clicking the update button, the progress bar sluggishly crawled forward over the next half hour, only to display the dreaded message: "Error – Update Failed." The logs provided little to no help, but based on my experience with other software updates via GIT, I suspected that the failure might be due to the repository head still being called "Master." In recent years, there has been a shift away from using "Master" as the repository head, with "Main" becoming the preferred term. Despite trying several methods ...

Ethereum Merge - So What?

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 cur...

Yelp api via Coldfusion and oAuth

What should have been a fairly easy implementation turned into several frustrating hours. I was using the old Yelp API that is accessed simply by passing your yelp key in the url. But, I wanted to take advantage of some of the new functionality only available in their API version 2.0. Unfortunately Yelp API v2 requires an oAuth key/signature type access. Having already written similar code to access the Amazon web services with a signature I thought this would be a simple as reusing some existing code. Man was I wrong. Turns out a "correctly" implemented version of oAuth is much less tolerant than AWS is. Simple things, such as what characters in the URL must be encoded, invalidated the Yelp signature. After much searching and screwing around with various proposed implementations it became clear that the easiest and best implementation was to use the Java library provided by Yelp and simply access it from Coldfusion. To make this process easier I've consolidated th...
