Thanks Obama for funding Iran.

Not even saying Iran is in the wrong, but it doesn’t change the fact that he armed the enemy.

[Mike @ironmike]

This is so true. A resume means nothing when it comes to execution, integrity, and work ethic.

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

Some of our best hires were totally unqualified on paper.

They always had the same qualities: entrepreneurial, high agency, smart, mission aligned, and they got shit done.

If you’re hiring, especially in early stages, seek out & bet on these people. Don’t over-index on resumes.

[GC Cooke @Gccooke]

Trump is running the most dangerous geopolitical blitz since Bretton Woods.

And the endgame isn't a trade war.

There's a theory circulating that Trump is running a far more ambitious play -- one designed to collapse BRICS, force China's hand, and lock in dollar dominance for decades.

It's bold. It's speculative. And whether you buy it or not, the underlying moves are worth paying attention to:

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟭: 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘇𝘂𝗲𝗹𝗮

The U.S. moves on Venezuela's oil, lithium, gold, and rare-earth reserves. Not for regime change — for resource control. China has quietly relied on Venezuelan oil to sidestep sanctions for years. That lifeline gets cut first.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟮: 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗱𝗮

This one's less dramatic but arguably more important. Canada deepens its alignment with Washington — offering diplomatic support, intelligence sharing, and strategic basing access. It's not that Ottawa becomes a puppet. It's that North America starts operating as a single economic and security bloc in a way we haven't seen since WWII. That kind of continental unity sends a message that's hard to ignore.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟯: 𝗜𝗿𝗮𝗻

With Venezuela compromised, China pivots to Iran for oil. Predictable. That's when the U.S. and Israel escalate — strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, command infrastructure, and oil facilities. China's backup energy source disappears.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟰: 𝗥𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗮

Here's where the theory gets really interesting -- and really controversial.

The argument is that a back-channel deal is already taking shape. Russia, increasingly squeezed and looking for off-ramps, begins redirecting energy exports toward Western markets. Out of self-interest, not friendship. In return, Moscow gets energy revenue guarantees and a pathway back to the global trading system. Canada, with its existing Arctic and energy ties, becomes the diplomatic bridge.

The result is a North American–Russian energy alignment that removes China's last major source of leverage.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝗱𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲

BRICS loses its economic foundation. Beijing, cut off from reliable energy and geopolitical allies, is forced to negotiate on American terms, including purchasing U.S. debt at favorable rates. The dollar gets a controlled reset with gold as the backstop, and the global financial system re-centers around Washington.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 + 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿

Energy price spikes and defense spending flood capital into risk assets. Bitcoin pushes past $200K. Then comes the executive orders: a Strategic U.S. Bitcoin Reserve, funded by seized assets and energy windfalls.

But the piece most people are sleeping on is stablecoins. Every USD-pegged stablecoin moving across borders reinforces American financial infrastructure without a single new bank branch. The GENIUS Act laid the regulatory rails. A geopolitical shakeup of this scale would create a demand shock.

Stablecoins don't just survive a reset like this. They become the rails it runs on.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗦𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲:

Resource control → energy dominance → geopolitical isolation of China → dollar reset + Bitcoin reserve + stablecoin expansion.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗦𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲:

Precision chaos → total energy dominance → China's surrender on U.S. terms → dollar reset + strategic Bitcoin reserve + stablecoin expansion.

American financial supremacy 2.0.

Whether you believe it or not, the pieces are already moving.

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

If you want to be an innovator, you have to be comfortable looking stupid for a long time.

You’re going to piss some people off and you’re going to get a lot of nos. That’s the only way to start having valuable breakthroughs.

A major step toward connecting crypto infrastructure with the core rails of global finance.
