With a global obsession trending toward an always-on approach to work, a 24-hour news cycle, and full blown pandemic and now, a … Read more
It has been a while since I last provided an update on the status of the en bloc process. In my last update in November of 2021, we had at that point secured 50% consent for the en bloc. As of today, I am pleased to update that Huttons, in their tireless efforts to reach … Read more
After a crazy freefall that kickstarted back in November 2021 that resulted in Bitcoin falling from a high of $69,000 (nice) all the way back down to $32,950, we finally reversed that trend with an absolutely insane closing day move on 28 Feb. When you think about the fact that we’re in the middle of … Read more
Okay Okay, calm down boys. I know you’re all sharpening your knives and laying ambush in the comments section. Hear me out. I love Bitcoin. I hold Bitcoin. But I don’t understand folks bashing EVERYTHING ELSE and advocating holding ONLY Bitcoin. Some of these bitcoin maxis are so much, that they advocate not just holding … Read more

As crazy as it seems, we’ve finally wrapped up 2021, and even survived the first month of 2022. Although Bitcoin and Ethereum both continued the disappointing slide from 2021 into the first month of 2022. From a monthly candle perspective, we have formed the perfect McDonald’s arch logo. Looks like crypto bros just have to … Read more
If you follow me on Twitter or has followed my blog, you’ll know that I bought several NFTs, both on Opensea as well as Veve.

I’m sure this year has been a rough one for many, myself included. I felt like towards the end of 2020, we were all hopeful of a better 2021, that the pandemic will be controlled once the rollout of vaccines were done. Who knew Covid had more patterns than badminton. As we head into the … Read more
November 2021 proved to be a real disappointment in terms of price action for Bitcoin. What was promised as an epic Q4 2021 whimpered to a 7.15% drop in price from $61,356 to $56,974. After an exciting 40% upside move in Uptober, many were expecting Bitcoin to continue the trend, dubbing the month Moonvember, Upvember … Read more
It has been almost a year since we kickstarted the en bloc process by setting up a group chat for residents, and canvassing for a requisition to begin exploring an official en bloc attempt.

A few months ago in August, I wrote about discovering a new NFT platform called Veve. Veve then had a partnership with Disney, and started putting out Disney IP as NFTs, and I duly snagged a rare Spiderman “Jumping into Action” NFT.

October wasn’t called Uptober for nothing in Bitcoin world. To kick of Q4, traditionally Bitcoin’s strongest quarter in the year, it rallied an astounding 40% from $43,800 to close the month at $61,359. Okay, so it wasn’t exactly the $63,000 that PlanB called for, but it was pretty damn close. At 97% accuracy rate, I … Read more

We all know Bitcoin to be highly volatile, with 10X gains and 80% drops a fairly normal year for Bitcoin. But for those new to this burgeoning asset, it can be nauseating.

September has historically been a ‘meh’ month for Bitcoin, and this past September has proven no different. Bitcoin fell 7% from August, to end the month at $43,834.
