The Moon & The Clouds

I got up two hours earlier this morning because I had to pick up my niece to babysit for a couple of hours in the morning while her parents got to some very urgent business at an embassy. It's been a while since I've seen a sunrise; that cooler-headed twin of the sunset. There it was, impressive as always. The sky was partially cloudy, but that kind of cloud that is comforting and pleasant, holding no promise (or threat) of rain.

As beautiful a sight as that was, I was actually more taken by the moon which was high in the sky reflecting the golden hue of the sunrise. The clouds around it mimicked the reflection as they opened up as if to reveal the moon like a lead performer arriving on stage.

The English name for Monday comes from the Anglo-Saxon word Mōnandæg, which loosely means “the moon’s day.” Mōna is the word for moon in Old English. The second day of the week has been classified as the moon’s day since Babylonian times. The Babylonians were the ones who decided on a seven-day week, and they named five of the days for planets, and one each for the sun and for the moon. Ref

Ah, the moon and clouds. It made me think about what is about to happen. Yes, yes, I'm talking about crypto. The clouds are starting to clear and we are beginning to see the signs of the moon. Cheesy analogy, I know, who cares, lol.

It's become hilarious to me now, expected even, that every crypto "event" that is a bullish signal, is followed by obvious manipulative attempts to crash the market. You see the massive coordinated dumps. It happened at the "halvening", it happened at the migration of Ethereum to POS. It happened at the golden cross of Bitcoin. It happened at the Cardano smart contracts launch. It happened at the Bitcoin Futures ETF approval in the United States. It happened the day El Salvador adopted BTC. It happened on the day Twitter announced incorporating Bitcoin tipping which, coincidentally enough, was on the same day as the aforementioned El Salvador announcement, the combination of which should have skyrocketed the price of Bitcoin.

Each time they do it now the effect is less and less. More people are wising up and waking up to the truth. The clouds are getting thinner and soon enough, whale and institutional manipulation will flip in people's minds and become a bullish signal.

There is an avalanche coming. Several countries are on the sidelines watching El Salvador's progress and letting them be the guinea pig to see if they fail or succeed. They can't wait too long though - nobody wants to buy BTC at $200k! There's going to be a cascade, the likes of which we've never experienced before, caused by governmental level FOMO. When that time comes we the early ones will sit back in utter disbelief. Even though we talk about it all the time, when it actually happens we will find it hard to believe.

It's Moonday and my hope is renewed. The world is changing and there's doom and gloom all around but somehow we've found ourselves in the right place. We've been here for while and held fast to our dream through thick and thin, rain or shine. I'm not saying the rains are over, but we can see through the clouds now and the moon is there.

Peace & Love,
