Gold is roughly 20 times larger than Bitcoin.
Global equities are roughly 100 times larger.
Global real estate is more than 250 times larger.
But somehow people look at Bitcoin and conclude the opportunity is already gone.
The human brain is terrible at understanding scale.
We’re deepening our adoption of @chainlink by leveraging Proof of Reserve to set a new U.S. standard for digital asset transparency.
With this integration, the Frontier Stable Token is now the first stable token issued by a public entity to publish verified reserve data onchain.
The EU is a ticking time bomb in so many aspects.
Monetarily, economically, taxes, immigration problems, low birth rates, high housing prices, overregulation, talent entrepreneurship & capital leaving,…
And on top of that the nation states cannot do much to switch things around because the EU is above their heads telling them to raise taxes, let in immigrants, implement their will or otherwise pay hefty fines.
How did we end up here and why is nobody doing anything?
🚨 If you run Core Lightning, upgrade to v26.06.7 NOW
In the last few hours my node has logged what appear to be automated attempts to exploit the vulnerability behind this release: rapid-fire retries over a 90 minute window from a node that never announced itself.
This Dropbox breach is going to result in lost funds.
It's why you never save pictures or files of your seed phrases and private keys in the cloud (or a device synced to the cloud).
“You’ll own nothing and be happy”
Step by step you see this playing out. They will take everything from you. It cannot be labeled as some tin foil hat conspiracy anymore.
Luckily there’s Bitcoin. Bitcoin fixes this
The EU right now:
We will take your money, invest it in underperforming climate, woke gender equality suicidal empathy and immigration slop, then tax you on any of the little unrealized gains and when it crashes the losses are yours, whilst protecting the banks with a bail-in when shit goes haywire
Netanyahu appeals to Israeli voters by boasting that he manipulated Trump:
“it took a long time to get the US to come to its senses” but I finally got it to attack Iran due to my “influence” over its leaders through “1000 hours on American television”
HOLY FUCK !!!!
The Israeli tourist arrested after sparking a huge wildfire in Crete WAS JUST RELEASED on €10,000 BAIL and is now on his way back to Israel already.
@grok, can you confirm this?
🚨 Two years ago, I was detained in Paris by police for 3 days — the longest they can hold someone before charging them.
In an unprecedented move, French authorities accused the head of a major platform of crimes committed by its users.
That investigation is still ongoing, although it makes less sense with each passing year.
Why?
Because we now have extensive evidence that Telegram was neither worse than other popular platforms at moderation, nor the worst at cooperating with authorities.
So why was Telegram singled out?
Over the last two years, we have seen a pattern emerge in multiple countries: Telegram is quietly asked to grant political favors — such as illegal censorship or surveillance. When we refuse, local media and “non-governmental” organizations launch orchestrated campaigns portraying Telegram as a cesspool of crime, from child pornography to terrorism.
Our moderation is no worse than that of other major platforms. Yet these campaigns instill the idea that Telegram should be persecuted or restricted.
Suddenly, officials start caring about crime and protecting children — but only on platforms that reject their secret political demands. Platforms that accept such deals get away with almost anything — including literally selling ads promoting child pornography.
Is the French investigation against me political? It certainly fits the pattern we see elsewhere, mostly in authoritarian countries. And it definitely raises questions.
In time, this investigation may itself be investigated — especially now that Macron’s war against free speech is facing pushback. This month, France’s Constitutional Council struck down his social media ban for children under 15 on freedom-of-expression grounds.
In the end, freedom and truth will prevail ✊
