Feeling lonely?
Voyager 1 is 25.4 billion km from Earth, drifting through interstellar space since 1977. Its radio signals take over 23 hours to reach us. And the nearest star on its path? It won't get close for another 40,000 years. Somehow that's comforting.
Even in darkness, we glow.
In this image of Earth taken by the Artemis II crew, we can see the electric lights of human activity. In the lower right, sunlight illuminates the limb of the planet.
Hedge funds have never owned so much global government debt:
Hedge fund holdings of sovereign debt are up to a record $7 trillion.
The majority of holdings are currently US Treasuries, totaling $4.2 trillion, or ~60% of the total.
Hedge funds' exposure to US public debt has TRIPLED since 2018.
As federal debt surges, regulatory constraints have limited banks from expanding their holdings as fast as hedge funds.
As a consequence, this has raised the risk of rapid-fire sales of government bonds during market crises, when hedge funds need to raise cash quickly, as seen 2008 and 2020.
The financial system has never been more leveraged.
🚨BUFFETT JUST GAVE A SERIOUS WARNING:
HE SAID GOVERNMENTS ALWAYS DESTROY THEIR OWN MONEY AND US POLICY SCARES HIM!

THE MAN WHO NEVER PANICS IS PREPARING FOR A DOLLAR FALL...
$BTC panic grips short-term traders, while miners quietly accumulate — a hidden battle that could hint at the market’s next move.

The crypto downturn is driven by leverage and outflows, not fundamentals, hinting that the market bottom may be near, analysts say.

Crypto is joining the global gold rush:
Tether’s gold holdings hit a record $12.9 billion in September.
This equates to 104 tonnes of physical gold.
The value of its gold holdings has DOUBLED since the beginning of the year, while physical reserves have also doubled since Q2 2024.
Tether has been accumulating gold at an average rate of more than +1 ton per week in 2025, making it one of the biggest buyers in the global market.
As a result, Tether's total reserve assets have surpassed $180 billion, with 7% held in gold.
Tether is becoming one of the world’s largest gold holders.
Investors pull $2.3B from MEXC amid rising insolvency fears, delayed withdrawals, and doubts over the exchange’s unverified proof-of-reserves report.

This is "The Everything Bubble" - The Largest Financial Bubble in History.
Built by Central Banks who thought they could micro-manage the Economy with endless monetary stimulus.
Instead, they created a gigantic Financial Bubble in all markets (stocks, housing, crypto) - with market participants addicted to the next shot of liquidity like a drug addict.
They created: "The Monetary House of Cards".

A Market Monster - which will devastate lives in a decade forward when it bursts in a not too distant future. Devastation through crashing 401K, rising inflation, higher unemployment levels - all at the same time.
Wall Street is still cheering it along - dismissing talks of a Bubble - while Main Street drowns in debt, and higher price levels.
AI and crypto don’t change the laws of economics - this is a mirage, and it will crash.
(Thanks @great_martis for valuation metrics).
We are not "there" yet - but getting closer.
PLEASE STAY SAFE!

Every time Eric Trump says “Buy the dips” — the market nukes eventually.
We've spent the last 10 months analyzing EVERY single tariff development:
Here's the EXACT playbook for investors.
1. Trump puts out cryptic post on tariffs coming for a specific country or sector, markets drift lower
2. Trump announces large tariff rate (50%+) and markets crash to shake out weak positions
3. Dip buyers step in but the head fake rally leads to fresh lows where smart money begins buying
4. After the market closes on Friday, President Trump doubles down on new tariffs to apply pressure
5. On Saturday, the target of the new tariff typically responds or comments
6. On Sunday, before the futures open, Trump posts an announcement saying he is working on a solution
7. Futures open on sharply higher Sunday at 6 PM ET but begin losing momentum into the Monday open
8. After the Monday open, Treasury Secretary Bessent appears on live TV and reassures investors
9. Over the next 2-4 weeks, various members of the Trump Administration tease a trade deal
10. Trump announces a new trade deal and the stock market hits a record high
11. Repeat from step #1
Part of our strong YTD performance comes from following this EXACT playbook in times of trade tensions.
The US is currently on step #6 with China.
