Let me explain what just happened 👇

5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil.

5 minutes…

These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch.

There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made.

Someone in that room picked up a phone.
And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars.

American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it.

This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions.

This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight.

You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question.

Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that.

The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…

HOLY SHIT

Anthropic Just Triggered a $285B Market Crash 😳

Bloomberg just reported that Anthropic released a new AI tool that caused:

󠁯•󠁏 $285 billion wiped out across software, finance, and asset management stocks
󠁯•󠁏 6% drop in Goldman's software basket (biggest since April)
󠁯•󠁏 7% crash in financial services index
󠁯•󠁏 Nasdaq down 2.4% at its worst

This is MASSIVE. The market literally panicked over an AI automation tool.

If you work in software, legal, or IT services, this changes everything.

You just don't know it yet.

On Jan 30, Anthropic quietly released 11 plugins for Claude Cowork.

Not a new model , but plugins.

But these plugins don't work inside your software.
They replace it entirely.

things like financial modeling & sales workflows, which lead to;

󠁯•󠁏 RELX (LexisNexis): -14%
󠁯•󠁏 Infosys: -7%
󠁯•󠁏 TCS: -6%
󠁯•󠁏 Wolters Kluwer: -13%

Wall Street is calling it the "SaaSpocalypse."

Because for the first time, a foundation model company didn't just build the AI.

They built the application layer too.

Anthropic isn't selling APIs anymore.

They're owning entire workflows.

Why pay $50K/year for legal software when Claude does it for $20/month?

Why hire 500 IT consultants when one AI agent works 24/7?

& the scary part?

This is just 11 plugins in a research preview.

Imagine what's coming next.

If your company's value prop is "we automate X"...

You're now competing with Claude.

And Claude costs 1% of what you do.

You're either building with AI, or getting replaced by it.
No middle ground anymore.

🇪🇺🇭🇺 EU OFFICIAL CAUGHT PLOTTING “RESISTANCE” AGAINST HUNGARY'S PM ORBAN

Short version, without the Brussels perfume.

Leaked files say a senior EU official was quietly working, as far back as 2019, on a plan to organize and coordinate opposition against Viktor Orban.

Not metaphorical resistance. Actual structure. NGOs, unions, funding vehicles, election timelines. The whole starter kit.

The guy, Marton Benedek, was sitting inside EU institutions while sketching out a roadmap for protests, messaging, fundraising, even something that reads a lot like a shadow government.

He talks openly about building a permanent coordination hub to challenge Orban’s rule.

This was an EU migration and security official, with deep access and zero plausible deniability, not just some street activist.

The early effort flopped. The party he helped build face-planted electorally. But the playbook didn’t disappear. It just waited.

Fast forward and suddenly a brand-new figure, Peter Magyar, drops out of nowhere, gets wall-to-wall Western media love, runs a campaign with serious money and polish, keeps his ideology vague, stays aggressively pro-EU, and rockets to the top of the polls.

No clear funding trail. No real policy spine.

But momentum.

The uncomfortable part for Brussels isn’t whether Orban is good or bad. It’s that this confirms what his supporters have said for years:

The EU doesn’t just pressure governments. It actively works around them when they won’t comply.

Rule of law language on the surface. Regime-management instincts underneath.

If this were Russia doing it, headlines would be screaming “foreign interference.”

When it’s Brussels, it’s called cooperation.

[CrediBULL Crypto @CredibleCrypto]

Over 80% of all the Bitcoin that will ever exist is currently being HODL'd.

The only 2 times in Bitcoin's 15 year history that this % was higher was at 43k before a $30,000 impulse to 73k and at 58k before a $50,000 impulse to 105k+.

When the majority of $BTC total circulating supply is cornered by "diamond hands", price moves up aggressively at the hint of any "new" demand.

Now that "excess" supply has found it's way back in the hands of long term holders and with Bitcoin treasury companies leading the way, the next impulse IS IMMINENT.

This next one will also likely be even bigger than the last two ($50,000+).

Who's ready for 150k+ Bitcoin?

When you understand how this game works and how it’s rigged, you will understand that the markets are not tanking because of tariffs and the other bullshit.

The markets are dropping because they needed to be dropped, as the global elite had made sufficient profits from the explosion of the markets over the past few years, so those with the capacity to do so deploy various tactics to justify doing this, likely coordinated between all parties involved (USA, China, Russia etc).

The elite are greedy just like the retail. The only difference is their success and greed is dependent on giving us the illusion of success and greed.

If markets worked on logic, then we would have gone much higher before this drop, as Trump did actually deliver many of the promises (for crypto anyway) initially.

Instead, inauguration marked the pico top. A time when logically the market should continue rising.

The November pump was the market pricing all of this in, something I was mocked for saying.

Markets operate on fear and greed, wins and losses.

In November, everyone was winning, temporarily. Greed consumed them to believe they were going to win more. The President, banks and media encouraged you further to believe this.

All of what you’re seeing right now is complete noise and nonsense.

A complete u-turn from the overwhelming positive sentiment, FOMO and greed we saw just several months prior.

“Strongest fundamentals ever”
“BlackRock are buying”
“Pro-Crypto President”

All the same narratives blasted from media headlines to influencers.

It’s easy to blame Trump, when in reality if you’re a victim of what’s happening, you should be blaming yourself for being gullible and placing faith in those who you know deep down shouldn’t be trusted.

Now all you’re seeing is the opposite. You’re also being influenced to feel the opposite of what you did several months prior, heightened by the emotional baggage from the consequential losses of your decisions.

It’s overwhelming.

It’s all or nothing in this game.

‘They’ either want you shitting your pants, overwhelmingly bullish, or confused for extended periods of time.

Each phase is exactly that, a phase which passes and transitions to the next.

The current phase is shitting your pants. Browse any media page or financial-news related page and see what you’re made to feel… fear and regret.

Right now the markets are hanging on a delicate thread.

There’s sufficient fear and the weak are slowly crumbling and waving the white flag. Most of those who were posting crazy large PnL’s have likely lost everything they made. Liquidations and capitulation is growing larger by the day… But there’s still a glimmer of hope and faith present.

For the next phase and complete u-turn to be initiated, we must see complete fear. The feeling of reaching the point of no return. The glimmer of hope and faith eradicated entirely.

At this point, it likely takes one good girthy bearish candle for everyone to wave the white flag.

I can almost guarantee at that moment the tariff bullishit will suddenly start resolving itself. FED finally steps in, whatever, you know the drill. Positive developments will suddenly begin to emerge. The media headlines will shift to positive once again.

When this stage is reached, your coins and shares have been successfully acquired for a discount by those who orchestrated this entire fiasco in the first place.

We’re seemingly very close now.

Something worse, bad, unexpected… on top of the tariff nonsense would likely be the nail in the coffin to initiate the recovery stage.

Stay locked in, don’t lose composure when it’s needed most.

[Ben Zhou @benbybit]

I do agree with CZ that if this hack was conducted through penetrating our internal systems such as any part of the withdraw system or one of our hot wallet was breached, we would've halted all withdraws until we find the root cause of the problem. In the case of yesterday, it was our ETH cold wallet which we use @safe that was breached, it had nothing to do with any of our internal systems so it was easy for me to make the call to maintain all withdraw and system functions of Bybit as usual.
Binance and CZ was among many of the partners and industry leaders that offered to help us during last night fiasco. We are extremely grateful and simply overwhelmed with all the support that we got. This was a truly tragic event for Bybit but the industry showed strength united together. I have faith that it's only up from now.

[jakub @jakubxbt]

Everyone was laughing at $XRP.

Now, everyone wants to own $XRP.

• $XRP has secured money transmitter licenses in NY and TX, bringing its total to 50+ US state licenses.

• CME Futures are set to launch on Feb 10, giving institutions another way to gain exposure.

• JPMorgan estimates that spot $XRP ETFs could attract $3-6B in inflows within the first 6-12 months of launch.

With a current market cap of $168B and $13.2B daily volume, $XRP is trading 14% below its 2018 ATH

But this time, the infrastructure is being built for institutions.

Licenses, futures, ETFs -> Q1 is shaping up to be a game-changer.

Today’s price action is a signal: $XRP isn’t just reclaiming relevance, but it’s positioning itself as a leader in institutional adoption.

[Litecoin @litecoin]

Litecoin has supported and helped Bitcoin for years. Charlie stuck his neck out financially to invest in it, defend it, and test for it only for maxis to cut him and I off at the knees, smear us, ignore us, and mock us.

El Salvador's national energy company (CEL) contacted Litecoin Foundation in 2022 asking for it to advise them on matters related to its planned bitcoin mining facilities, custody of bitcoin mined and bought, a national wallet to potentially replace the Chivo wallet, and even potential fund raising for the bitcoin bonds. But after 6 months of the Foundation meeting with them via video calls, emails, and even Charlie flying to El Salvador to meet the head of CEL, the communication abruptly stopped and Bitcoin maxis were all over the news there and we never received a dime, a thank you, or the potentail for having a small portion of Litecoin miners working at the mining facility. You call that transparent? You call that fair?

Jack, you worked with Charlie on regarding lightning and it's first transaction happened on Litecoin, but he was pushed to the side after he was no longer needed and Bitcoiners fail to even recognize that as part of its history.

Bitcoiners in crypto companies stopped Litecoin from being added to certain platforms and companies for years until the owners changed hands or realized it was a dumb financial decision, but it stalled Litecoin's growth overall. You all made sure it was never a level playing field.

And yet, we supported Bitcoin and continued to take on its congestion, test out new technology, and put on a good face while all we did was get spit on publicly and suffocated in the background.

Even after all of this, we support a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve. But let this be very clear. It is not because of you or any of the other dirty players of the past decade who made it 20x harder for Litecoin. We support it because it is the better decision for America.

We are your brother in arms, not your enemy, so stop treating us like peasants. You can't be the bully then call on those you've treated poorly to unite with you on some front that threatens your 'There can be only one' narrative you've constructed.

If you can't acknowledge Litecoin as a benefit to society and a fully decentralized, scarce and hard capped money just like yourself, then you can fight this fight alone. We're no one's beach any longer, Jack.

[Nick | Crypto Crusader @NCashOfficial]

Jack, with all due respect, you are an idiot.

BlackRock is the largest share holder of the largest Bitcoin mining companies & Masterstrategy. BlackRock is also the biggest Bitcoin ETF player.

Bitcoin maxis sit around talking about centralization all the time but can't admit that they embraced centralized control of Bitcoin. They now look to Wall Street, Governments & Banks to pump their bags while talking down on #Ripple & $XRP. How comical.

I won't even begin to explain to you how centralized Bitcoin is by hashrate distribution.

Bitcoin maxis like you are the main reason why I will never take Bitcoin seriously.
