A Gold Vs Bitcoin End Game Sneak Preview Last Night

And yes, I'm fine. Though it did get loud and shaky last night.

• Israel won't respond to Iranian missile attacks due to lack of American backing and Bibi's lack of backbone. A Hezbollah rocket hit about 100 meters away, we're fine.

• PAXG, a gold-backed blockchain token that trades 24/7, saw a significant increase in value while BTC crashed during the Iranian missile attacks. It's still far above the GC contract.

• Gold to commodities looks on the verge of a major breakout, but technically we are ripe for a short term selloff here.

It's arcade Missile Command, but every interception costs like $100M, and doesn't help you if shrapnel hits your skull like what happened to that bedouin girl, when the little bitty pieces of rocket fall to the ground anyway.

First of all, I'm fine. I think this round is done. Israel won't respond because Bibi doesn't have American backing, and Bibi has no backbone of his own. The Iranian missiles weren't aimed here specifically. Mostly just towards the Dimona nuclear reactor and the poor stateless (and awesome) Black Hebrews originally from Chicago who live there. We got a Lebanese aftershock from Hezbollah shortly after Iran did its part of the show. One rocket hit about 100 meters away from my house in a small fruit orchard between houses, at about 4:30am or so. We ran downstairs with the kids when we heard the sirens and the house shook a bit on impact.

I was giggling the whole time to keep the 5 and 6 year olds calm, also because of the absurdity of the situation, and it worked well enough. They're fine. Truthfully I wasn't all that scared, since the chances of a rocket hitting my house specifically are very low. But it was uncomfortable.

We have a key to the neighbor's house across the street who has a bomb shelter in case it gets serious, but I’m not really into doing unless there's a sustained attack like the bombing of London by the Luftwaffe or something like that, and this is nowhere near that. I won't demean myself by running across the street in a bathrobe with my wife and kids, and besides, nobody has been able to explain to me why I'd be safer running to a shelter when I could just as easily be running into the impact zone as much as away from it.

I walked over to where it hit shortly after the impact and saw clumps of mud strewn everywhere on the main road. Some of my friends were just a few houses away. A friend of mine made a video of the impact crater I posted on X.

On a related note, this is not a war. It's a joke. This is an asinine game of explosive peek-a-boo between two cowardly, scared out of their minds spineless leaders who are both pretending to fight but neither actually wants to, because neither of them stand for anything nor do either of them have any support from their people. I'm not saying this show was directly coordinated between Iran and Israel, but I'm sure both sides were relaying what needed to be said between the mediators so everyone on every side knew exactly how much, when, where and for how long, so everyone can accomplish their ridiculous role in this retarded game of puppets.

I mean seriously, it took the army 8 $%*&ing HOURS to respond AT ALL to an actual rampage of murder rape and torture on Shmini Atzeret (October 7), but they knew about the pathetic lobbing of 300 rockets 8 hours in advance? We are being played to strengthen both evil governments of Israel and Iran, and the only good thing that has come out of this is another $5 billion were burned shooting big rockets into smaller rockets, bringing us that much closer to the End Game, which is the only thing that will stop this.
