It is incredibly ironic that @realDonaldTrump would write that his pick to lead the CDC will “restore the GOLD STANDARD SCIENCE at the CDC, which was an absolute disaster focused on ‘mandates’ under Sleepy Joe,” when his pick is the QUEEN of mandating vaccines. She has, with threat and force, mandated almost every major vaccine on civilians and military members, including mandating injection of smallpox, anthrax, and flu vaccines into U.S. Forces, and disciplining those who refused.

The only thing she is likely to restore is the CDC to business as usual – cheerleading for industry instead of being a regulator over industry.

Acquiring knowledge is easy, the hard part is knowing what to apply and when.

That’s why all true learning is “on the job.”

Life is lived in the arena.

Tune out society and its endless and noisy demands.

The closer you are to the truth, the more silent you become inside.

Truth is not for The Worldly man.

It is for the one who is willing to turn his back on all that he has been conditioned to believe.

It is a movement away from the land of man

And toward the Land of The Gods.

Over the past 100 years:

The number of banks have gone from 28,000 to 4,500

The number of public companies in the US peaked ~8000 and has since shrunk to ~6000

Meanwhile the amount of regulation and regulatory agencies have exploded.

Regulation, at the limit, strangles entrepreneurs, smaller businesses and public companies in favor of consolidators, large rollups and administrators.

We need a regulatory reset.

They did everything they could to create a panic. They predicted a Black Monday that never came. They became jubilant over an intraday correction on Tuesday. They were rooting for Trump to fail even if it meant the market and economy crashed. Fortunately their hopes have been dashed. Trump has been vindicated. China is isolated, and the rest of the world is lining up to negotiate new trade deals. Do you think this would have happened if Trump had asked nicely? Maybe if he had said pretty please? Never. This was the only way to rewrite the rules of global trade. Once again, Trump was right about everything!

My whole life I've been preparing for the future. Anticipating it. Creating it. I've never been safer and I'm excited for the future.

The Honorable Justice in SEC v me should have her ruling out soon. Donald Trump will be in office soon. PulseX, PulseChain, HEX, INC are all functioning wonderfully. This makes some entities mad, but there's literally nothing they can do about it except be mad. It feels great to be wanted.

Nothing can stop an idea whose time has come.

[Richard Heart @RichardHeartWin]

If the haters really wanted to get me down they could raise more than the $27M I did for medical research. Write free self help books better than my sciVive and Fix The World. Work in the courts for legal precedent for P2P publishing software. Found things that work flawlessly and become valuable. Install bidets for their mothers.

Nothing makes haters angrier than success. Every time they think of you, it reminds them how they're not doing half what they could. They let themselves down. They let their families down. It's easier for them to tear down others than to rise up themselves. Hate is a poor substitute for progress. Why settle for being wanted, when you can be the most wanted?

I really do the best I can to make the world a better place, and I must say, the world can be pretty unkind to folks making a difference. First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. Win is in my name and winning is in my blood.

Think about how much we've accomplished and it seems like someone up above must want it to happen. There's too much serial success for it to be an accident.

At twenty, you don’t get the life you deserve, you are just the product of the environment you were lucky or unlucky to have.

Then, as you get older, and enter your thirties, forties, and beyond, you notice how much agency you actually had on your life.

Maybe you moved abroad, learned another language, another culture, another mindset, and became an entirely different person.

Maybe you decided you had nothing to lose, and invested all your meager savings into the bet of a lifetime, and it worked out.

Maybe you changed all your habits, and realized that you could be much healthier, smarter, stronger than you thought, if you simply maintain a better diet, a better training, a better sleep, a better routine.

Maybe you fell in love, and realized that a great marriage was about so much more than physical attraction and intellectual compatibility: if you find yourself walking alongside with a kind, thoughtful, honest person who loves you back, you actually won the lottery.

Maybe you met some great people during your journey, shared with them parts of your journey, overcame difficult challenges together, finally understood the real meaning of “friendship,” and that some people are worth trusting and making sacrifices for.

Maybe you also had health issues, lost a few precious people that you loved, understood the fragility of life and the pain that comes with truly loving someone else, but also finally gained enough wisdom to appreciate the simple things in life, that are free and in abundance.

It’s a long journey. The best and the worst things will happen to you. You can choose to act like a victim, or you can choose to respect yourself and be more resilient, mentally stronger, overall better. In the end, you will look back, you will connect the dots, and it will all make sense, that you got exactly what you deserved.

Deep Dive: A Primer on Cryptocurrencies

https://t.co/qkEBpAD9Oe

Check the date.

In July, President Trump spoke at a Bitcoin conference and told the audience he would make the United States "the crypto capital of the planet". The crowd went wild.

Since then, President Trump won the presidential election with an unprecedented sweep of all seven battleground states, Gary Gensler announced his departure from the SEC next month, and earlier today, Bitcoin passed the $100,000 milestone.

The cryptocurrency market now commands $3.5 trillion in value, with over 15 million daily active users across all decentralized networks.

[SHILL GATES @imshillgates]

I've always been a strong proponent of opsec in crypto and what better time to spread awareness than when I have a bunch of new followers.

Opsec is operational security. It means protecting your assets from being hacked or stolen. Many people that are new to crypto have no idea how to best protect their assets and sadly, a lot of them end up getting hacked or drained.

There are many people out there spending every waking hour trying to figure out how to steal your crypto. Don't be one of the ones they succeed with, especially if you have a decent amount of funds.

First. Never leave your money on an exchange. Not your keys, not your crypto. It can literally disappear overnight. None of these crypto exchanges or lending platforms are insured. Look at FTX and Celsius.

Metamask or Rabby or Phantom or whatever extension you are using is the least secure. All it takes is connecting to one malicious site and your whole wallet is drained. Cell phone wallets and desktop wallets are almost as bad, due to sim swapping and other methods of attack.

The absolute best way to protect your assets is a hardware wallet. The two top names for those are @Ledger and @Trezor, make sure you buy it direct from their websites, buying anywhere else leaves you vulnerable to the device being tampered with. This is not an ad for these companies, they are just the most trusted with very long positive track records.

You can then connect your hardware wallet to Metamask and it will show all your funds as usual, but you will have to approve the transactions on your hardware wallet before they process...A great security step.

Spending a little bit of money to secure a lot of money is a no brainer. Don't be cheap here.

Whatever you use, make sure you back up your secret key phrase multiple times and store it in places it won't get lost or damaged. This goes for all wallets and storage methods.

If you absolutely have to use a browser extension as storage, while it's not recommended, create more than one address. I label mine HOT and COLD. The HOT wallet is mostly empty, used for connecting to websites, I always keep a little gas money in there for transactions...The COLD wallet is my vault, where I keep all my main assets and if I want to swap or trade, I will send those tokens from the COLD storage to the HOT wallet to interact with the website.

I also have a third address that I use just for connecting with websites that I don't plan on trading anything on. This wallet has absolutely nothing in it and is used simply to connect/log in to sites that require it.

Do not click random links in DMs or emails. Do not download anything onto your computer that isn't from a trusted source. Do not fall for "tech support" reaching out to you if they are asking for your personal info, look up proper emails or phone numbers and use those. Also consider having a lightweight backup computer that you only do trades on and never download anything to.

Also, always triple check sending/receiving addresses and links and web addresses and twitter handles to make sure they are correct. In crypto, it's good to be paranoid.

I know some of these steps can be tedious and it's tempting to avoid using them, but if you have a decent amount of money, this can literally save you from losing your life savings.

I sincerely hope this helps even 1 person from getting robbed. I've seen it happen far too often.

Privacy wins. Today the Fifth Circuit held that @USTreasury’s sanctions against Tornado Cash smart contracts are unlawful. This is a historic win for crypto and all who cares about defending liberty. @coinbase is proud to have helped lead this important challenge. 1/6

During COVID-19, these American doctors demonstrated exceptional courage, intelligence, and critical thinking. They would make excellent reformers for U.S. health agencies:

@DrJBhattacharya
@MartinKulldorff
@ScottAtlas_IT
@P_McCulloughMD
@RWMaloneMD
@PierreKory
@MdBreathe
@btysonmd
@richardursomd
@DrHarveyRisch
@drpaulmarik1
@RetsefL
@lawrie_dr
@FLSurgeonGen
@Fynnderella1
@doctorcole
@GeorgeFareed2
@TracyBethHoeg
@AaronKheriatyMD

These doctors were correct about the need for focused protection of the vulnerable, such as the sick and elderly. They were also right about keeping schools, churches, and businesses open.

While agencies like the NIH, FDA, and CDC—as well as medical universities—failed to provide early treatment protocols, leaving many COVID patients untreated during the critical early stages, these doctors advocated for accessible and affordable treatments. They recommended commonly used antivirals, antibiotics, anticoagulants, and anti-inflammatories, demonstrating practical solutions and a patient-first approach.

Despite their success in treating thousands of patients, many of these doctors faced severe consequences. Some were penalized by medical boards and health agencies; others were publicly smeared by officials and censored by big tech platforms.

These doctors stood firm, showing integrity and commitment to the Hippocratic Oath, even in the face of significant opposition from the "medical establishment."

They would be outstanding candidates for leadership roles in the @realDonaldTrump administration as part of @RobertKennedyJr's mission to address the chronic disease epidemic and work toward Making America Healthy Again.
