@ConvexEdgeX Much appreciated!

[Rüdiger @Lenzbtc]

@ConvexEdgeX Do you place your SL slightly above the last high?

[Rüdiger @Lenzbtc]

@ConvexEdgeX Thanks!

What are you other confirmations?
Trendline break? Below 10 SMA?

[Rüdiger @Lenzbtc]

@rowancheung In order for that to work you need to stay in the forest for hours. A simple walk in the Forrest is not enough!

🇪🇺 The EU is now for the 6th time trying to force Chat Control through which lets them scan ALL your private messages, photos and emails without a warrant

Implictly showing the EU is not democratic and not about what the people of Europe want, because once a law is rejected, you just re-submit it until nobody is watching and it's passed

November 2023: ❌ Chat Control is rejected
June 2024: ❌ Chat Control is rejected
October 2025: ❌ Chat Control is rejected
November 2025: ❌ Chat Control is rejected
March 2026: ❌ Chat Control is rejected
July 2026: 📝 Chat Control is back

Even the EU's own lawyers stated Chat Control is unconstitutional: "generalised message scanning is incompatible with Article 7 of the EU Charter"

You have to wonder why the EU is so adament about reading your private chats, right?

here are some facts about California. some of this is hard to believe.

first of all, it's important to understand the concept of "ballot harvesting," which is perfectly legal in CA. this refers to a situation where someone completely unaffiliated with the voter can collect and submit their ballot for them.

this flow is completely legal:

- a homeless person arrives in LA, where they are eligible for cash assistance, SSI, food stamps, healthcare through medical, and an array of other taxpayer-funded services
- they are registered to vote by an NGO (many such NGOs exist and explicitly do this).
- they do not have to provide a residential address or any proof of residency to vote. they only have to provide a mailing address, which can be anywhere (church, NGO HQ, homeless shelter). their home address can be "a park" or "an underpass".
- their ballot is mailed to the homeless shelter (or whatever address the NGO elects for them)
- the only verification done for the mail-in ballot is "signature verification" and uniqueness (only one vote per person is counted theoretically).
- the signature can be an X. if they register with an X, they can sign with an X. that is sufficient to pass verification. signature verification is also deliberately loose. the signature does not have to be a perfect match.

now consider the hypothetical scenario, which is fraudulent, but virtually impossible to detect:

- a homeless person cycles through the LA system. they get registered with their mailing address listed as the NGO HQ or homeless shelter
- they "sign" their registration with an X or nondescript, easily replicable signature
- they disappear. never seen again. or they exist, but it doesn't matter. they don't get purged from the voter rolls for 4-8 years typically.
- the address where they registered receives their ballot for several cycles
- operatives are aware that they have X amount of votes to make up. they fill in X many thousand mail-in ballots themselves. the ballots are manually postmarked (permitted). they forge the signature to match whatever signature (could be an X) was submitted upon registration
- ballots can be accepted even if they are postmarked at 11.59 pm. polls closed at 8 pm. (you would need an accomplice who is a USPS employee)
- the only fraud checks are de-duplication (if the homeless person through some miracle voted in person, only one of their ballots would be counted) and signature verification
- because very few of the homeless people in question would have voted in person, this gives NGO operatives tens of thousands of possible mail-in ballots to submit unilaterally.

the big problem is that there is NO way to detect this type of fraud. NGOs that register homeless people to vote exist. that isn't a secret. ballot harvesting is fully legal. voting by mail is encouraged. signature verification is as loose as possible. de-duplication doesn't solve anything, since few homeless people vote in person. and no one in power locally is going to spend political capital on rooting out such fraud, since they are all wholeheartedly committed to "voting rights".

in a situation where fraud is undetectable, the absence of hard proof of fraud is not evidence that no fraud exists.

Raman has gained around 20k votes since election night. She is around 3k votes ahead of Pratt now.

there are over 72 thousand homeless people in LA county.

@Innerdevcrypto Regarding number 6: do you put all that in a pot and pour boiling water over it?

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

From @WSJFreeEx via @WSJOpinion: The fraud in California, Minnesota and other blue states aren’t outliers. They are the predictable result of how blue-state social-welfare systems are designed and run, writes @jamesbmeigs.

[Michael A. Arouet @MichaelAArouet]

Venezuela used to be much wealthier than Poland, which was suffering under socialism. Then Poland implemented free-market and capitalist principles and enjoyed an economic boom.

Venezuela chose socialism, which brought poverty and misery to its people.

That’s the difference.

Banks earn 4.4% on reserves parked at the Fed...

They pay you 0.01% on your savings account.

And now they're lobbying Congress to make sure stablecoins can't offer you anything better.

The GENIUS Act already settled this. Congress spent months hashing out a compromise. Stablecoin issuers can't pay interest directly, but platforms and third parties can offer rewards. Done. Finished. Everyone shook hands.

That was a few months ago.

Now the banking lobby wants to reopen it. They're calling it a "safety concern." They're worried about "community bank deposits."

Independent research shows zero evidence of disproportionate deposit outflows from community banks. Meanwhile, the big banks are sitting on trillions in reserves, collecting interest from the Fed, passing almost none of it to customers.

How this plays out for the most part is that your bank takes your deposit, parks it at the Federal Reserve, earns 4%+ on it, gives you basically nothing. A stablecoin platform wants to share some yield with you and suddenly that's a threat to financial stability?

We saw three different lobbying pushes on this bill in the last year & every single time, the framing is consumer protection, but in reality, every single time, the actual effect would be protecting big banks and incumbent margins.
What you should actually watch for:

-Any amendment that bans "rewards" broadly rather than just direct interest payments from issuers.
-Whether the same legislators worried about stablecoin yields have ever questioned why bank savings rates haven't moved in fifteen years.
-Who's funding the "community bank protection" messaging (Usually not community banks lol)

If Congress caves on this, it sets a (not good) pattern. Pass a framework, let the incumbents lobby it back open, chip away until the new entrants can't compete, and crypto companies aren't the only ones watching. Every fintech considering U.S. markets is taking notes on whether legislation here actually sticks.

We signed on to this letter to show our support and conviction in moving the industry forward in the United States. The next six months will show whether the U.S. wants competitive payments infrastructure or protected banking margins under the guise of "stability"

as always, thanks to @BlockchainAssn for their hard work in the industry alongside @standwithcrypto & @na_blockchain

special shoutout to @TBC_Jessi @512mace & @wadepreston for pushing this along as well

🚨 Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet. We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable

We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening, the fraud must be stopped.
