Another week passes where I can't do anything because everything's in crypto instead of USDT. Still, the upwards drift continues, very gently, and makes my Banking look good for the moment!

We're still going slow, but we're going in the right direction.

For now.

Speaking of Banking, some big news to cover mid-week, so drop in. It's important.

Anyway, here are this week's numbers:

Everything a little better there, which is nice, especially with the '26 Picks dropping again. Nothing drastic, but staying pretty stable. That'll do for me.

In detail:

• Trading up 0.53%
• Copy Trading up 0.75%
• Banking up 5.91%
• Overall up 4.21%

That's about 25% of the big dip regained in the last two weeks - a bit of a surprise, to be honest, but I'm not complaining!

We just gotta keep on holding, waiting for the big pump that looks like it might only happen towards the end of the year (as usual). Shame about only getting one - it was nice to have two pumps a year! And where's the altcoin season? MIA.

The tracking's a weird one this week. The small price rise was enough to pop my dual investment trading back into the green on everything, while the other categories languish in the red. 🤨

The psychological pressure to do something increases with every week that this sideways movement continues, but I'm aware of it and actively resisting.

Keep piling up the Banking, keep HODLing the ETH in Trading, keep staking and earning, keep the Cointiply income dropping a few dollars to buy into the BTC/ETH dip every once in a while... it's all preparation for when the markets suddenly move.

Don't miss it. HODL.

'26 Picks

As I mentioned, the Picks took another dive this week - a small one, yes, but still a little dive further into that 50% down area. Only one or two resisted.

Oddly enough, I find it much harder to resist selling my alts at a loss than I do for the big coins. I can hold BTC, ETH, and SOL for weeks without getting twitchy, but those altcoins make my fingers itchy. I wonder why. Perhaps it's because their prices don't always go back up?

All in all, not a bad week. How was yours? Are you still holding?
