Human time was industrial capitalism’s operating system.
AI agents are breaking the clock.
Economics, markets, DCF models, and terminal value were built for human speed. Bitcoin is the exception.
Crypto provides the machine rails. Bitcoin hedges time risk.

Treasury bond yields have already resumed their rise. Treasury is going to need a much bigger boat to stop this train. That means not only a much larger buyback than what has already been announced, but the Fed will have to join the party with an official QE program. Got gold?
What stops this train?
The US government is now spending $3.8 billion on interest PER DAY.
By 2028, estimates show that the US will spend ~$5 billion per day on interest, more than any other category.
To put this into perspective, the US now spends $3.1 billion per day on Medicare and $2.5 billion per day on defense.
When the cost of your debt becomes your biggest outlay, you know something is broken.
Intervention by the US Treasury is only a short-term "solution."
Wen Tether audit? nOw.
Today Tether announces its first full financial audit for Tether International, conducted by KPMG U.S. which resulted in an unqualified clean opinion, marking the highest result possible.
An unqualified opinion is the best possible audit opinion an independent auditor can issue.
(“unqualified” in accounting jargon means without reservations — not that the audit was incomplete).
Tether’s financial audit, by at least an order of magnitude, is the largest inaugural audit in the history of finance. My congratulations go to the entire Tether team and especially to our Finance function, which demonstrated its ability, precision and commitment to complete this review process within the highest standards across the whole digital assets and global financial industry. We couldn’t be more proud.
Despite our Company being subject to several years of detractors’ false claims, competitors lies, political attacks and misinformed coverage by several mainstream newspapers trying desperately to discredit us for the benefit of their friends in the tall ivory towers, Tether delivered what it promised: a full financial audit issued by a Big Four accounting firm, KPMG U.S.
Tether created the stablecoin industry with USD₮ in 2014, revolutionizing the whole financial industry. Today everyone talks about stablecoins, yet it all started 12 years ago, with a tiny team and a big mission. We were there when no one else could understand the disruptive potential of what we invented.
Our Company has evolved into one of the most financially significant and operationally sophisticated private companies in the world. This audit demonstrates that our financial infrastructure and governance have evolved alongside that responsibility. Today, more than 650 million users across all emerging markets continue to rely on Tether daily, choosing USD₮ as their currency, for their life savings, for their commerce, for the future of their children. These are people that have been left behind by the traditional financial system and they trust our Company to remain resilient amidst all the global uncertainty that plagues the world - the proof of that stability is no longer just a Tether promise; it's now an independent signed opinion.

- You: "My savings earned 4% interest."
- Government: "Taxable income!"
- You: "Inflation was 4%. I gained nothing."
- Government: "Tax the 4% anyway."
- You: "Fine. Can I deduct the inflation loss?"
- Government: "Deduct what?"
- You: "The 4% YOU took through printing."
- Government: "That's not a recognized loss."
- You: "You recognize the gain you caused but not the loss?"
- Government: "We recognize what's collectible."
@RebekkaTimmer Dit hoort geen ‘Rebekka’ vs ‘GeenStijl’ standpunt te zijn. Als beiden partijen begrijpen waar de pijn echt zit dan kunnen jullie elkaar de hand schudden. Dan zijn we het we het eens over de oplossing.
