I’m not usually a disciple of technical analysis or rigid 4-Year Cycle theories. (If I were a TA wizard, I wouldn't have started DCAing at $90k).

But the Weekly RSI dipping below 30 is a signal hard to ignore.
Historically, this is the screaming buy zone. What’s fascinating is the rhythm: these sub-30 dips seem to align perfectly with the 4-year intervals. Maybe the "cycle" isn't about time, but about hitting maximum pain.

We are definitely sitting at the bottom range. Don't let the FUD shake you out now.

Excited to share my first open‑source contribution to the Nostr ecosystem!

I’ve built Zap Visualizer — a tool that turns your zap stats into cyberpunk‑style identity cards for your Nostr profile and socials.

What it does?

- Fetches your real‑time zaps from Nostr relays

- 5 visual themes: Matrix, Cyberpunk, Oceanic, Inferno, Royal

- Exports high‑res PNGs, ready for sharing anywhere

- No tracking, no account — privacy‑first by design

Perfect for zappers and creators who want to showcase their impact in the Bitcoin ecosystem.

- Try it: https://zap.0xumbralabs.xyz
- Code: https://github.com/0xUmbraLabs/zap-visualizer

This is my first public project, so I’d love your feedback.
What features or themes would you like to see next?

This threw me a bit. So he doesn't really believe in the separation of church and state story. What does that mean for the separation of money and state?

[SPOILER ALERT: The Three-Body Problem]

Re-reading the Doomsday Battle gave me a different kind of chill this time.

While most readers admire Zhang Beihai as the ultimate hero of endurance, I see a stark allegory for the current geopolitical psyche.

Earth (The Challenger) was locked out of fundamental science by Sophons. But within that lock, they maximized engineering and GDP. They looked at their shiny fleet and deluded themselves into thinking they had caught up to Trisolaris (The Incumbent).

Then the Droplet arrives, and the illusion of parity shatters in minutes.

But here is the deeper, more unsettling realization:

I suspect Liu Cixin himself is the real-life Zhang Beihai.

Like his character, he recognized the inevitable outcome decades ago. He projects the absolute conviction of a "Mental Seal" patriot to operate within the system, while secretly embedding the harsh truth into his work:

"Weakness and ignorance are not barriers to survival, but arrogance is."

Confronted with such hubris, he knew the only path to survival was the ultimate crime: Escapism.

Hands down, The Beach Tower Okinawa has the best breakfast buffet I've had in Japan. The unlimited Wagyu beef (literally ate so much) plus the DIY sashimi rice bowls with raw egg and natto are incredible. The hotel itself is a bit older but the 270° ocean view from the room is insane. They even do free ramen after 10pm but I was always too full to try it lol. Honestly, I'd fly back just for this morning steak fix. #Okinawa #Japan #Travel
