[This should've published on Sunday. p0x's new system sucks.]

Here in the UK, it's so windy that our bins get blown all over the place.

In the crypto markets, it's the opposite: the calm drop before the storm.

Here are this week's figures:

The slow downward trend of the week. Not too much damage, thankfully!

In detail:

• Trading down 5.06%
• Banking down 3.06%
• Overall down 3.57%

Everything's just kinda petering out while we (hopefully) build up to the end-of-year pump.

Well, almost everything. DASH is up this week! 😮

The only real change for me was a decision to drop XAUT. I was originally looking at PAXG as real-world gold but decided on XAUT because MEXC did a 10% APY on it for a few weeks. But, well, holding about $100 of something that doesn't move much seemed a bit stupid in the mid term. So I'm putting that back into BTC. It stays in Banking.

The tracking's all a bit too red for my liking right now.

These dips are tough, psychologically speaking. I know BTC and ETH will both go back up - they always do - but when prices drop, I get twitchy. I have to remind myself not to change big things, to sit back and wait. I don't like waiting. 🤪

'26 Picks

The Picks are all down again this week.

Even ALGO dropped back into the red, further fuelling the decision to take whatever profit I can get when things pump and GTFO of those choices!

Painful losses in there if I were to sell now. Once again: patience, Grasshopper.

Projects

My two crypto projects have expanded to three, as I had another bright idea for a site.

PoolFaucet's nearing the end of its first month, so people will start to see payments and so on (I reduced the withdrawal minima), PlainCrypto has doubled the number of interactives, and the third project is currently gathering the data it needs... fingers crossed these all become at least mildly useful and successful!

How was your week? Anything good to report?
