$MSTR is doing exactly what S&P advised.

S&P called the reluctance to sell Bitcoin a “weakness.”

Now they’re selling.

Smart move.

You are being lied to.

Today I present to you the only inflation index that matters. The Taco Bell chicken quesadilla inflation index.

2001 Chicken quesadilla: $1.89

2026 Chicken quesadilla: $6.19

This is a total inflation of ~327% or an annualized amount of just over
6%/уг.

Don't let the lizard people in the government trick you into thinking inflation is 2-3% per year...plan accordingly.

Hypothetically…….. We are being taxed on money we never made.

Let that sink in.

If I bought my property outright for $160,000 in 2009
Now the county says it’s worth $446,000.
Did I sell it? No.
Did I make a profit? No.
Did I get a check for $446,000? No.
But my taxes jumped like I did.
That’s the problem.
This isn’t income.
This isn’t cash.
This is a number someone decided on paper and now I’m being billed for it.

If my stock portfolio doubles, I don’t pay taxes until I sell.

If my income doesn’t increase, I don’t magically owe more income tax.

So why does owning a home work differently?

Why am I being taxed on unrealized gains?

A house isn’t just an investment, it’s where people live. And this system means you can do everything right, pay off your home, and still get squeezed harder every year because of a number you never turned into money.

You don’t truly own something if you can be taxed out of it.

This isn’t about “services” or “inflation.” It’s about being charged for value you never received.
It’s time people start to notice.

I manage the customer retention pathway at Capital One.

I don't set the rates. I manage the migration architecture between them. There are two savings accounts. One pays 0.30%. One pays 4.35%. Same bank. Same dashboard. Same login screen. Different products. We named the difference.

The 0.30% account is called 360 Savings. The 4.35% account is called 360 Performance Savings. The difference between the names is the word "Performance." The difference in yield is fourteen times.

We advertised Performance Savings to new customers. We did not mention it to the 17 million customers already earning 0.30%. Internally, we call them the Passive Portfolio. The name was mine.

That's segmentation.

The migration was one click. One screen. No fee. No paperwork. The pathway existed the entire time. We designed a system where finding it required the customer to already know it existed. The notification system would have cost $2.4 million to build. We spent $3.1 million on the holiday retention campaign. The campaign targeted new customers.

I reported the Passive Retention Rate quarterly. The metric measures how many customers stayed in the 0.30% tier without being told there was another tier. The slide was green every quarter. Green means the customer stayed. Stayed means chose. Chose means informed. Informed means we didn't hide it. We just never mentioned it. Nobody asked what "mentioned" means.

That's product architecture.

A woman called in February. Twenty-two years as a customer. Her granddaughter showed her the 4.35% account on a Saturday. She'd kept $87,000 at 0.30% for six years. The difference was $3,500 a year. She was quiet for eleven seconds. I know because the system logs call silence. She asked me if we knew.

I said we appreciate her loyalty and have updated our product options.

That's segmentation.

The settlement is $425 million. There are 17 million affected customers. That is $25 per customer. The rate difference was roughly $4,200 per year. We kept them at 0.30% for years. We settled for $25. The $25 does not cover what they lost. It covers what we calculated they would accept without filing a complaint. The regulator called it substantial. We called it Reserves. The line item is under Customer Goodwill.

We have updated our notification protocols. The 0.30% account still exists. The 4.35% account is still separate. The migration pathway is now disclosed in the footer of the quarterly statement. Font size 6. Gray on white. The disclosure team tested readability. It is technically readable. The test was whether the text could be read. Not whether anyone would read it.

The customer can find it now.

The customer could always have found it.

That is what the slide will say at the next quarterly review. The slide will be green.

Maybe not a popular take but I am calling for this guy to be pardoned. Unless the DOJ plans on going after all the crooks in congress currently insider trading, this is simply skewed justice. There is no “justice” when guys like this get the book thrown at him yet members are illegally profiting every day.

I don’t agree with what he did and he should be required to disgorge all the profits however, unless the DOJ plans on doing Congress next, this is not justice.

Wages went up 27%.

Homes went up 148%.

2003 median salary: $42,409
2023 median salary: $54,132

2003 median home price: $182,700
2023 median home price: $454,900

People are not lazy. The currency is just collapsing faster than wages can keep up.

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…
