    ![](https://i.imgur.com/1Tspjn3.jpg) Photo by [Patrick Metzdorf](https://unsplash.com/photos/iPiTNFiB_oI) on Unsplash > Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. [Rob Siltanen](https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/change) (John Chapman - a dash of Apple advertising) --- Nothing going on in crypto. Aside from this little known event 'the Bitcoin halving'. In all honesty, outside the crypto bubble - it's still not a widespread topic of discussion. Odds are - that this is the very last halving to escape broad public notice - 2024 I going to be wild. As to short-term price action - who knows? The last two halvings would indicate a pullback followed by a long and ultimately impressive bullrun but time will tell. Bitcoin was built during a crisis, for a crisis, and here's a crisis.

The aim is a useful weekly aggregator of ideas rather than news.
