Has #Bitcoin peaked yet?

Historically, BTC peaks after breaking its ATH:

2013: 273 days

2017: 233 days

2021: 328 days

If 2025 follows:

233 days = June 2025

328 days = Oct 2025

Mid-to-late 2025 could be the next top. Will history repeat?

I've come to believe I live in a country with one of the best friendliest tax regimes in the world

Is it terrible for your OPSEC to tell me which country that is?

I thought the "cheesy slice of granite" gave it away - I am swiss.

Just to make sure I am not campaigning here for that little cheesy slice of granite that I call my country: Everything else here sucks, things are terribly overpriced, country is literally full (in my lifetime population more than doubled) and generally is not remotely the same country where I grew up in.

Most countries doubled in population during your lifetime, and, at least in the West, I more and more believe the machines in the Matrix had a point when they said the '90s were the peak of our civilization.

Agreed, except the fact that Bitcoin was not invented then, it was probably the best time of my life. At least people were still talking to each other and were not walking around like zombies talking into a glowing bar of chocolate that they hold in front of their face.
Though it's probably an old geezer thing to talk about the good old times and how it all was better then..

No my natural methods were Ceylon cinnamon with keto diet  and exercise. Which was good for 5-6 years.


Now I do keto diet and some pharmaticals. works better then the cinnamon

A lot depends on your age.

the younger you find the problem the better off you are with no drugs if you can make it work with a decent number. say 110 daily sugar number and 5.7 a1c

I have eaten the American/English chestnuts which are merely okay.

I did have good numbers with this cinnamon


https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00416T8Q6/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1BZKRV4BRWPE1&th=1

has to be Ceylon not Vietnamese.

and a lot of plain greek yogurt. https://www.target.com/p/fage-total-5-milkfat-plain-greek-yogurt-32oz/-/A-46778312?  full fat not low fat.


diet is tough as you age. If I had figured my issue out at 50 vs 60 maybe diet would have worked longer.

But I had some eye damage and some other damage before I figured out the diabetes diet was good from 2018 to 2024 I went on meds feb 2024

Thanks philipma for such an elaborative answer. This reply deserve merits, unfortunately I have only one merit left in my bank which I mistakenly sent to your previous post. Hope you will consider that for this post.
Marinating a1c below 5.7 is really hard for Diabetes patient. I was able to control it under 5.7 for few years but then it shoot up to 6.3. The main reason is my casual behaviour towards diet and weight. 
The ADA guideline of 5.7 was challenged by American College of Physicians (ACP), they have there study which says:

Philadelphia, March 6, 2018 – Patients with type 2 diabetes should be treated to achieve an A1C between 7 percent and 8 percent rather than 6.5 percent to 7 percent, the American College of Physicians (ACP) recommends in an evidence-based guidance statement published today in Annals of Internal Medicine.

How you consume "Ceylon cinnamon" for controlling blood sugar? You take Cinnamon tea ?

my typical breakfast was the

greek yogurt
 a teaspoon of the powdered cinnamon stir it in the plain yogurt looks like it is chocolate color.

then drop some nuts say walnuts or almonds or brazil .

this is a very high protein high fat meal with very little carbs.

you can vary it with a few blueberries or a small banana.

I could list what fruits work for me, but you could be different as body chemistry matter.

Bad fruit for me:

Oranges
Grapes
Raisins.

Good fruit.

Blueberries
Strawberries
Banana
Apples
Pears .

Worst foods.

 Bread
Pasta
cereals.

As for a1c I was 12.1 when discovered which is basically dude you are dying do something.

With my a1c in the 5.3 to 6.3 range it  is much much much better.

Salted grass fed butter, other dairy stuff and eggs keep you alive and induces/maintains ketosis.
There's just the little problem that muscle needs carbs to be build, and there you are challenged to find the most tolerable form of carbohydrates for yourself.
It hasn't to be much, but a few calories before you get to physical work - preferably in the form of green vegetables (including potatoes). Ditch fruits, they are almost poison for a perfectly working metabolism. You could mix in coffee, which acts as an insuline moderator. It does produce an initial blood sugar spike in healty people when consumed with carbs, however. If you didn't already do so, there's a bit to reseearch about coffee and its effects on insuline in various combinations, but it may be of some value for you.

Happy New Year - 2025 !

I agree generally with what you say here, but the bolded part I'm going to have to vehemently disagree with.

That is a myth continually perpetuated by the media.

As long as you stick with fruits that are low on the glycemic index, and stay away from consuming both high glycemic fruits and dried fruits on a regular basis, you are good to go.

I get probably 80-85% of my daily carb intake from low glycemic fruits (in the form of protein shakes twice daily, berries mostly mix with full fat milk), and the other 15-20% from vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, carrots, peppers, etc). Some days it's more like 95% fruit as carbs. I'm probably right around 50-60 grams carbs on average daily. I don't eat any other forms of carbs during the year, except for maybe a once or twice a year slice of pizza or sushi as a special event/treat. I don't drink any alcohol, not any more, period.

At 55 years old, I'm shredded with extremely low body fat. In fact my metabolism has never been higher or better (well, since early college days anyway).

So fruits as poison? Kill metabolism? Complete media BS.

interesting you are anti fruit.

I do various cheese mostly goat or sheeps milk based
tons of meat
some fish

I am in ketosis as I raise my blood sugar while sleeping. My body converts my fats to sugar.

I will go to sleep at 110 and wake up at 123. That is a pretty good sign of ketogenesis.

So basically I generate carbs while sleeping 💤

I suspect my Norwegian grandmother is where the genes came from to do that.

Body type. Gene background helps to know about yourself clocking what you eat has real meaning.

Figure out what crushes your numbers.

Oh beer = really really really bad.

but hard liquor straight up is okay.

Now that does not meanmImcan drink a pint of vodka a day.

But I can drink 1 or 2 shots of most any hard liquor day after day with no apparent harm.

BTW I do not drink 1 or 2 oz a day. More like 1 or 2 oz a week.

I gave up on all beer as 1 bottle will hurt my numbers for 2 or 3 days.

Our tax admin takes the average over the whole year, so that tiny dippity-doo doesn't really help.
Then again it's a low 0.x percentage wealth tax and I really don't care about that (meaning, from my tax perspective, it can go up anytime).

Here's it's 2.1168% next year, based on your tally on the 1st of January. The Dutch Central Bank often advises not to invest in Bitcoin, but if you do, they take a larger cut each year.

Here (Spain) it is 1.7% above 3M€ to 5M€, 2.1% 5M-10M and 3.5% for anything above 10M.

Lol. Here, the threshold is 57k€. No millions, just 57k.

Yearly 2.1168% from anything above 57K Net worth? Including in it all owned real state, stocks, cars, bank accounts, deposits, bitcoin, etc etc with no exceptions nor reductions?

If that's the case it's totally crazy....

Lucky you on the "no capital gains tax". We do, currently, ALSO (in addition to wealth tax) have an up to 29% capital gains tax for gains above 300K€ (and it is not MUCH better for lower amounts either... as it starts at 21%)

I guess it depends on how high your wealth tax is. Here, they made a mess out of the tax, and now they're mostly raising it while trying to create a new system. The gains tax is 36% on some sort of flat rate assumed gain. It's a weird system
Depending on how long you're HODLing, a 29% one-time tax can be better than an annual tax.

Well... I thought Spanish taxes were bad... now I see it could be even worse... sorry

People trust Bitcoin exactly because it doesn’t require them to trust anybody else. They just have to trust the code. Bitcoin is designed with a mathematical purity that removes systemic complexity. Bitcoin’s simplicity minimizes the chances that something can go wrong.
