Hello hello silver bloggers, music lovers and Hello hivers!

Yesterday it seemed we were in full Rektember mode and this prompted the inspiration for today's ttt post!

I did write this yesterday at 6am and bought a few Hive at hopefully the dip! So today it seems we are going back up a wee bit... So think of this as looking at yesterday's prices ...

It is Tuesday and that of course means that it's #ttt or #threetunetuesday and so it's time to share some tunes with you!

@ablaze started #ttt 226 weeks ago! Go check out what it is all about on his last post David Bowie for Three Tune Tuesday - Week 225 - win some HBI

Do go support @ablaze as without him we would not have this mental fun musical activity that you can win HSBI from! I am happy to be one of the SIX sponsors and it is kinda fun checking out music from all over this global village of ours!

Long live #ttt 😁🎼 and #threetunetuesday

Well the markets were looking less bloody this morning compared to yesterday but the inspiration still counted lol!

There's no better way to describe the current state of the crypto markets yesterday than with the soulful sound of Simply Red.

There were a red candles fluffing everywhere and the usual amount of emotional wailing. But if you aren't selling why wail?

Anyway this week's #ttt is an ode to the band that perfectly sums up the picture.

For those unfamiliar and that will be you kids and maybe our cousins across the pond but Simply Red were pretty big back in the day.

They are from Manchester in the UK and were formed in 1985 and led by the unmistakable red hair and voice of singer-songwriter Mick Hucknall.

They've sold over 50 million albums worldwide while their music has been described as a blend of soulful R&B, pop, and jazz.

I found them okay but they were not really in my playlists in the 80s or now...

So here are three of their songs that feel especially relevant to anyone watching their portfolio bleed.

Tune 1 - Simply Red - Money's Too Tight (To Mention)

We have to start off with their very first single that was released in May 1985 which instantly became a worldwide hit.

It's a cover of a song by The Valentine Brothers, it's a funky, high-energy track about the struggles of living paycheck to paycheck and the feeling that.. well ... "money's too tight to mention."

This is so relevant for many that feel this way right now, contemplating that next investment while watching our funds shrink! God it has me thinking back to what our portfolios were like in 2021 at the height of last alt season!

It's the perfect anthem for a bear market.

Tune 2 - Simply Red - Holding Back The Years

I still think the last song was their most famous but some people think this ballad is. Holding Back The Years was released later in 1985.

It's a deeply emotional track that Mick Hucknall wrote when he was just 17 and reflected on his difficult childhood.

I like the video as it reminded me of how I looked in my school uniform!

In the context of the crypto market, this song speaks to the regret and pain of seeing your assets plummet.

We're all "holding back the years" of regret, wishing we had sold at the peak and wondering where it all went wrong.

lol as I mentioned I did buy the dip yesterday morning, so it's all good really!

We finish up with a tune from the 90s and full of Hopium!

Tune 3 - Simply Red - Stars

Stars was the title track from their hugely successful 1991 album called yes you guess it "Stars".

It's a much more upbeat and hopeful tune, a reminder that things were once brighter.

So what do you think? Does it represent the bull market, when our portfolios were "stars"!

It was a bittersweet listen yesterday but right now but it's a good reminder that every winter is followed by a spring, and the market will eventually, shine again.

So there you have it — my three picks for a very "Simply Red" kind of week. What songs would you add to this playlist of market misery and hope?

Which was your favourite tune? Or have you never heard of Simply Red or these tunes?!?

Yes, I was surprised when I saw the prices yesterday. Strangely, the last posts I had read around here talked about a bull market for October. I still have hope that this happens (fingers crossed). As for the music, I'll go with 'Stars.' I think I've heard it before. A big hug full of profits, Ed.🪙🪙🪙

It is intersting, we are in a bull market for bitcoin and eth and bnb, they all hit all time highs this year. Hive and the other old alts have their own markets and seem to be in bear markets. Well October traditionally goes up because September goes down. Anyway Hive price is what it is. You want to make money trading I would do with other coins. A big hug with Stars in my eyes Nancy ✨⭐

There is no bull run for Hive, not this cycle. I see many still claiming it will come, hive was higher at 2022 low when it was .26 cents when bitcoin was 15K & ETH was 1Kz now Hive is .18 cents on its fourth trip to teens in a year while bitcoin stays strongly above 100K & the top tier 20 or so crypto’s are 400% or more above 2022 bottom even though most don’t & won’t touch 2021 highs. A couple have but most not close. Any saying hive still has tike to make new ATH this cycle is in ful denial at this point. I doubt we even get to our 2022 low of .26 cents. However we will go to new lows during next bear cycle, hive will obviously go to a dime in 2026/2027. I love Hive, but pretending otherwise is silly after seeing his bad performance was this cycle.

Yes the price action has been pretty much as expected. All the amazing value plan and DHF expenditure will save HIVE price by bringing all these new users and investors to the ecosystem.

What a great band that are underappreciated today. Stars I hadn't heard before, but I like it. I agree with the first two fitting perfectly with the bear market. Hopefully we'll have a great big break out October and making us all stinking rich! I'm not holding my breath though!

I knew they were an English band, didn't know they were from Manchester. I learned something new. I really haven't listened to them much in years now, I'll have to go back and dig up some of their old music. Great TTT with some fun music!

It was the time that Manc and NorthWest bands were ruling the airwaves .. god there were so many ...

I can think of Joy Division, New Order. The Smiths, The Fall. James ,The Stone Roses, Happy Mondays
, Inspiral Carpets, The Charlatans, Oasis, The Verve, The Chemical Brothers yeah there loads.

Yea break out October I think might be on the cards for quite a few coins, HIVE I am not so sure lol but I hope I am wrong!

A time I got my prediction right, 2025 crypto markets. August 2024 said when bitcoin breaks ATH of 73K again , and when we confidently break over 100K , all alts in top tier will be mostly higher but way below 2021 ATH’s, while many crypto’s especially lower tier will not be close to up, especially hive which will be in teens again when bitcoin well above 100K. I wish I had been wrong on the last one but it was obvious, the signs & signals were clear. I said ETH will make new ATH but not until bitcoin hits 125K, I was off by less than 1% when Bitcoin hit $224,200 top weeks b4 ETH made slightly higher level than 2021 high.

I’m not smart, I just pay attention that’s all. Unfortunately Hive will price wise continue to make us sad when it goes didn’t to a dime when the top tier go into bear cycle in 2026/2027. It didn’t participate in bull cycle but it will with bear. The DHF is printing 2 much among other issues. It’s just obvious that’s where we are headed. Maybe we see a tiny pump when bitcoin tops prolly around 140K-180K for cycle next 5 months or so, but I doubt it’s anything of substance. I’m glad I put my only two power down cycles (November 2021 and Jan 2025) into bitcoin. Getting 100K Hive out above $2.00 was a lucky move!

Where was I wrong, metals! I didn’t think we’d move up this fast on my New Year’s Eve 2025 prediction.

People really have not grasped the enormous gains that BTC and ETH have made this year.
The metal fan was wrong about metals! So are they going to peak soon?

I’d think no , it’s a longer term cycle for metals. Not a fast one like 2011. It’s a different world now. Some corrections will happen but I think bull run is here for while in metals.
