How much have these prices changed this past Month?
Bitcoin is $78,084 USD right now,
(Down from $81,706 USD on May 11th 2026)

BTC peaked this week at $82,458, but has fallen below 80k again.
https://bitcointicker.co/stamp/btc/usd/7days/
I suspect BTC may test 62k again, the 3 month chart is only up +12.99%
I am just making observations here, but BTC retraced -50% from Oct 2025 ATH down to February 2026 around $64k, it already recovered +25% and from here, +25% would only take BTC to 99k, but -25% could fall to $59k. Whatever happens next, it's an opportunity!

"A barrel of oil contains 42 gallons, or about 159 liters. A barrel of oil holds about 5.8 million British thermal units (MBtus) or 1,700 kilowatt-hours (kWh). This is an approximate measure because different grades of oil have slightly different energy equivalents."

"Relative value in finance is a method of determining an asset's worth by comparing it to similar, comparable assets rather than looking at its intrinsic value alone. It helps investors identify if a security is overvalued or undervalued relative to peers using metrics like P/E, P/B, or EV/EBITDA ratios."

I have been keeping a closer eye on assets this year.
Save 10% of all you earn! Invest another 10%.
If you never buy assets, you never have assets.
These are just observations over time.
Covering a lot of ground here.
Thesis, still intact, carry on.

Too much to do daily, but every week or so is good to note.
Right now we are in a unique time for both Silver/Gold but also Oil/Energy.
Rising Energy prices cause everything else to rise.
Silver has broken out of a 40 year cup and handle formation, plus I get to witness this Gold/Silver ratio thing I always heard about but never witnessed. As many scramble to sell Silver late, Banks are buying and Physical supplies are being bought up. I watch channels that discuss what they are seeing, and there doesn't seem to be much supply left at the lower levels, $60 USD might be the obvious floor now. More often I am hearing the $150 -> $200 - > $300 forecast, I think on a long enough timeline that will probably unfold. Hopefully we have time to buy a few more Maple Oz's before then.
And that's what THEY want, scare us into selling our physical silver!
I'm in no hurry to sell since I have a pretty good fix income setup with liquid assets to live off of well before I come close to selling any physical.

I also think we are going lower again, maybe really down to 60-63k.
How low-- can it go-- how low-- can it go? 60k? 40k? 30k? 20k?? 😱

My expectation - if we really test those 60-63k again - is that we might fall into the lower 50s, if it gets really bad maybe 48k. But I give that only a probability of 10%.
