The greatest scam in history...

The creation of the Federal Reserve:

[Kraken Pro @krakenpro]

What does the Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) indicator actually tell you❓

It combines price + volume data to measure money flowing in and out of an asset.

🔺 Rising A/D line = buyers are in control (accumulation)

🔻 Falling A/D line = sellers dominate (distribution)

💡 It helps you see whether price moves are backed by volume, or running on fumes.

Chat GPT's thoughts on USDX

This idea — a US Treasury–issued, yield-bearing stablecoin (USDX) — would be revolutionary. It represents a potential rearchitecture of global sovereign finance. Let’s break it down across key dimensions:

🧱 1.
Fundamental Architecture Shift
Today:
The U.S. government issues bonds through auctions.

These bonds are bought by institutions, banks, foreign governments, or indirectly by the Fed.

Money creation and distribution is mediated through fractional reserve banking and central bank monetary policy.

With USDX:
The Treasury bypasses auctions, banks, and even the Fed.

It issues USDX directly on-chain, redeemable and stakable in a smart contract.

The smart contract dynamically replaces the yield curve — short vs long staking durations receive different rates.

This collapses:
The bond market (no intermediaries needed),

The banking system (no reserve requirements),

The Federal Reserve’s open market operations (Treasury controls yield, not the Fed).

🌍 2.
Globalization of Treasury Debt
Key Insight:
USDX could be bought and staked by anyone, anywhere — not just institutional bond buyers.
It becomes:
A hyper-liquid, on-demand, programmable bond.

Accessible via DeFi interfaces, from Argentina to Nigeria to Singapore.

Tradable instantly 24/7 — unlike Treasury bonds which settle in T+1 or T+2 days.

US sovereign debt becomes the first truly global, permissionless financial product.

🏦 3.
CBDC with a Yield Curve
Traditional CBDC models are non-yielding (e.g., digital euro or China’s e-CNY). But USDX is:
A programmable, interest-bearing stablecoin,

With native yield, set by Treasury.

This disintermediates not just:
Commercial banks (people may prefer to hold USDX than bank deposits),

But also central bank control over short-term rates.

Instead of the Fed Funds rate being set by FOMC votes, the Treasury sets staking rates in real-time via smart contracts. That’s a fundamental shift in monetary authority.

💰 4.
Monetary Policy Becomes Fiscal Policy
Traditionally:
The Fed controls monetary policy (rates, money supply),

The Treasury controls fiscal policy (spending, taxes).

But USDX blurs this line:
Treasury sets yield → controls monetary incentives.

Treasury issues money → controls monetary base.

Treasury redeems/burns → controls money supply.

This is centralization of macroeconomic control into one entity: the Treasury.

🔁 5.
Collateral and Backing
In your model, users deposit USDC to mint USDX. That opens several options:
Treasury could redeem USDX for USDC on demand (backed 1:1).

Alternatively, Treasury could spend the USDC (as seigniorage) and back USDX by its credibility alone, like fiat.

If the latter, USDX is not truly stablecoin-backed, but fiat-like: an uncollateralized digital bearer asset with yield, governed by the Treasury. That resembles a sovereign-issued digital T-bill more than a stablecoin.

🔐 6.
Smart Contract Design Implications
Staking contracts require upgradeability (Treasury must adjust rates).

A global on-chain user base introduces security and sovereignty concerns.

Potential to integrate KYC, sanctions compliance, etc., depending on jurisdictional design.

⚖️ 7.
Implications for Bitcoin and DeFi
USDX could suck liquidity from USDC/USDT, Aave, Compound — it’s a superior risk-free yield-bearing USD instrument.

DeFi might integrate it as the base layer collateral.

Bitcoiners may view it skeptically — it’s a centralized, programmable surveillance coin. But practically, it could accelerate DeFi adoption and normalize on-chain finance, creating bridges to Bitcoin.

🔮 8.
Geopolitical and Institutional Impacts
USDX would massively strengthen US Dollar hegemony globally.

Governments like China or the EU would face pressure to issue their own yield-bearing CBDCs.

Foreign banks and even central banks may buy/stake USDX instead of Treasuries.

🧨 Summary
USDX would be a seismic transformation.
It merges debt issuance, monetary policy, and digital currency into one on-chain, programmable asset.
The Bond becomes a Token. The Bank becomes a Contract. The Fed becomes irrelevant.
This is more than a CBDC. It’s a total rethinking of how the U.S. government funds itself — potentially the most powerful financial instrument in the world.

Bitcoiners (like me) hate the Fed.
But the Fed doesn't create money, the Banks do.

The system was rotten even before Nixon pulled the ripcord in 1971.

It's a system that is based on debasing savings, allowing Governments to go endlessly in debt, and rewarding those closest to the Money Printer.

Powell is just at the pinacle of the corrupted system of vote-buying, pointless job creation, asset inflation and zombie companies.

Pack your bags.

$140k+ Bitcoin is coming.

[Joe Consorti @JoeConsorti]

Strategy just posted Q2 earnings: $10B in net income and a 46,671% EPS beat, the largest in Wall Street history.

Now that unrealized BTC gains count as earnings, the best move in town is to buy it.

The game has changed.
Time for Wall Street to catch up.

There will never be another monetization event like Bitcoin. From nothing to everything. #Stock2FOMO

The one video you should watch today is Tucker Carleson's interview with Richard Werner.

Werner is the economist / analyst who came up with the term "Quantitative Easing".

The whole video is brilliant. I'll add some comments below.

When Bitcoin is the default savings account every other investment will need to outperform it. That is terrible news for most fund managers, but great news for top fund managers.

[Daniel Priestley @DanielPriestley]

Billionaire hedge fund manager @RayDalio has said the UK is in a debt doom loop.

The government has 101% of debt to GDP ratio. It spends 45% of GDP. It borrows to pay interest payments. This is wildly unsustainable and irresponsible.

The doom loop bit happens when the government raises taxes to fund debt, higher taxes reduce growth, reduced growth reduces investment, reduced investment causes wealth creators to leave and the 1% who pay 30% of the taxes pull away from the system. When they leave, the government needs to raise even more taxes.

This dangerous scenario is what I warned about when debating @garyseconomics earlier this year.

The doom loop could end but the government would have to cap spending at 35% of GDP. Then create special economic zones or tax breaks for wealth creators to come in and invest and grow new companies. It would have to take the medicine of fiscal responsibility- no more printing money or borrowing more in debt. It would be painful short term but would set things right. Will they do it though?

Dear @saylor

Three Physics and Math PhDs here, (one from MIT), think you should spend a few hours on Power Law Theory. It would be an amazing addition to your repertoire of pro-Bitcoin material.

The math models are easy to verify for yourself.

1. Bitcoin usage as measured by accounts with balances greater than 0.01 BTC / 0.1 BTC / 1 BTC all follow power laws at 2.49, 2.0, and 1.4 powers. The R2 is greater than .98 in all cases

2. Bitcoin price follows a power law at 5.6-5.8 power with R2 of .95-.97 depending on frequency of measurement and whether you use block years or chronological time.

3. Hash rate follows a power law at 12 power.

It will take you and an assistant vetting the data no more than a few hours to confirm these facts.

No need to credit any of us. @Giovann35084111 first observed this in 2014. @moneyordebt (MIT BS Physics / Harvard PhD) confirmed it and modeled the S curve variant. I am the apostle (Stanford Math PhD).

Probably a hundred of us now have duplicated the numbers and built models to this effect. It's a very powerful open source tool, that is just begging for you to use.
