I’m not sure gold’s action has anything to do with Trump, but if you say so.
I’m pretty sure there’s nothing that Trump can do that will convince you he’s doing a good job or the right or smart thing. You’re like about 40% of this country and the mainstream media.
We should have elected Kamala Harris and a Democrat House and Senate, that would have been a much better move. Then we would have fit in with the rest of the west who’ve turned their countries over to Muslims and persecuted their native (white Christian) people. Turned our sovereignty over to China and the EU globalists. Gone to war with Russia over Ukraine for the EU.
Yep. That would have been the ticket.

Exactly.
I have to keep telling Mrs. F. that every time gold bombs back to where it was only a few weeks ago. I warned her that things would get very volatile with the Loose Cannon in Chief implementing his policies. Whether they’ll work or not remains to be seen, it’s way too early yet and I said it would be at least six months before things might settle down. I’m not encouraged by what I see in the ME, again I think he’s being taken for a ride, this time by the Sheiks. Who are better than they at beautiful smiles whilst stabbing you in the back? All these deals for trillions, with countries’ GDPs in billions; hundreds of Boeings – over what time frame? And all the war stuff – I thought he was the big no-war guy? Doesn’t he believe his own rhetoric, in that if he is bringing peace to all the regions of the Earth then nobody would want arms? Halve our defence spending, he suggests to Putin and Xi, and then ramps up his own by 25% (on borrowed money).

All about the 50 day Av’s for Au and GDX Note how GDX and Nem the 50 Av dipped below the 200 d and then popped back above
Thus triggering a major buy signal…..in Au it sniffed the 200 which is the same a great buy signal….though this looks like we have a longer correction coming…..
and here comes another waterfall
I guess rates falling back down to 4.40% are now bearish for the metals. Who frickin’ knows? The shares know, that’s who. They always know when the metals are going to tank.
Dollar is flat but they just dumped gold another $25 in a few seconds to add to the $40 loss, silver is obligated to follow.
Yesterday’s reversal now a blip on a chart.
Everything else is flat, except for the SM which is up a little.

Reading the Solana Ledger: Practical Ways to Track Tokens, Accounts, and Activity
Okay, so check this out—I’ve spent years poking around block explorers, and Solana’s pace still surprises me. Wow! Transactions zip by so fast that if you’re not watching the right feeds you miss somethin’ important. My first impression was simple: faster blocks mean clearer visibility. But actually, wait—it’s more complicated than that; speed exposes different kinds of noise and edge cases that slow chains rarely show.
Here’s what bugs me about generic explorers. They often lump token transfers, program logs, and account state changes into a single timeline, which sounds tidy but becomes useless when you’re debugging a failed swap or tracking a rug pull. Hmm… on one hand a clean UI is nice; on the other hand, you need raw traces and decoded logs. Initially I thought intuitive filtering would be enough, but then realized you need both program-level detail and token-account heuristics.
In practice, effective Solana investigation follows three simple moves: locate the account, understand its token accounts, and trace program interactions. Short step. Then dig into transaction meta. Finally, correlate on-chain events with off-chain indicators like DEX orders or liquidity pool changes. Seriously? Yep. This is where explorers that show decoded instruction data, inner instructions, and SPL token balances become very very important.
Let me give you a quick story. A few months ago I was tracking a newly minted SPL token that was supposed to have a 0.5% sell fee. I watched the initial liquidity add on a DEX and then a flurry of transfers. Whoa! At first everything looked normal. But when I inspected the token accounts I noticed multiple associated token accounts with small dust transfers—classic dusting to seed approvals. My instinct said something felt off about the mint authority activity. So I pulled the transaction logs, read the program instruction stack, and found the fee enforcement was actually implemented off-chain by a proxy program. Lesson learned: don’t trust token metadata alone.
Practical checklist for tracking tokens on Solana
Find the mint address. That’s your anchor. Then enumerate associated token accounts to see distribution. Check for non-zero authorities. Next, inspect the transaction history for the mint and key token holders. Look for patterns: repeated transfers to the same set of tiny accounts, instruction calls to suspicious programs, or sudden renouncements of authority. Also check rent-exempt thresholds—accounts that frequently get re-created are suspicious.
Okay, quick tips for the tools side. Use explorers that decode inner instructions and present program logs alongside parsed token movements. For day-to-day debugging I lean on explorers that let me jump straight from a token holder to the program logs that modified that holder’s balance. I’ll be honest: not all explorers do this well. Some only show token transfer events without linking them back to the instruction that caused the change, which makes root-cause analysis a pain.
When it comes to Solana-specific quirks, remember a few things. First, token balances live in separate token accounts, not the wallet account. Short sentence. Second, associated token accounts are created by the SPL token program and can be recreated by anyone if they were closed—so keep an eye on account lifecycle. Third, decimal misreadings can make tiny transfers look like huge dumps. Long story short: always parse the mint’s decimals before drawing conclusions.
Tools vary. Some give you pretty charts of holder distribution. Others provide raw JSON RPC traces. Both are useful. My pick is a hybrid: a UI that surfaces high-level metrics plus a copy-button to fetch raw data for deep dives. And yeah, there’s a convenience factor. I use a toolset that lets me quickly filter by program id, by signer, or by memo text—because memos often carry proofs of intent or signatures for off-chain agreements.
Where explorers like solscan blockchain explorer fit in
When I’m tracking a token or debugging a contract, I often end up using a browser-based explorer that shows decoded instructions and token account graphs. The solscan blockchain explorer is one I’ve used for such workflows because it ties token transfers back to instructions and shows holder concentration without much clicking. That saved me time when I was tracing that proxy-fee token; I could see inner instructions and jump to the program source quickly.
Pro tip: use the explorer to export CSVs of holders if you’re doing on-chain analytics or building supply charts. It’s a small step, but it lets you run custom heuristics—like clustering by creation timestamps or filtering for accounts that never interacted with a DEX. And if you’re monitoring liquidity, set up watchers for large mempool-ish spikes and sudden increases in approvals; those foreshadow major moves.
I should note limitations. Explorers are subject to indexing delays and sometimes miss ephemeral events if indexers fall behind. Also, not every program exposes human-readable logs. On one hand you’ll get nicely decoded transfers; though actually, lower-level CPI (cross-program invocation) chains can still hide the true intent unless the explorer captures and decodes them. So pair explorer inspection with occasional RPC calls for sanity checks.
Developer corner: when building analytics on Solana, design for scale. Solana’s throughput is generous but noisy, so avoid naive polling for every slot. Use websocket subscriptions for key accounts and only re-query full states on significant changes. Cache token decimals and mint metadata. And accept that sometimes you’ll need to stitch together on-chain traces with off-chain feeds like DEX order books to tell the full story.
Also, don’t forget privacy and ethics. Watching public accounts for suspicious behavior is fine. Proactively doxing users or automating harassment is not. I’m biased, but responsible research matters.
FAQ
How do I quickly tell if a token is malicious?
Look at holder concentration, mint authority activity, and unusual associated account patterns. If a token has one holder controlling 90% of supply, constant recreation of token accounts, or opaque program calls, treat it with caution. Also check whether the project renounced authority and whether that renouncement is verifiable on-chain.
What’s the fastest way to debug a failed swap on Solana?
Open the transaction in an explorer that shows decoded inner instructions and program logs, then trace from the swap instruction back through CPI calls to find which program returned the error. Correlate with token account balances and memo fields. If the explorer lacks detail, pull the transaction JSON from an RPC node and inspect meta.log messages for the failing program.
