JUST IN: President Trump said the U.S. will retaliate after an ISIS gunman killed two U.S. Army soldiers and one U.S. interpreter during an ambush in Syria. Three others were also injured.
Landed in Amman.
Thankful to Mr. Jafar Hassan, Prime Minister of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan for the warm welcome at the airport. I am sure this visit will boost bilateral linkages between our nations.

Michelle and I are heartbroken by the tragic passing of Rob Reiner and his beloved wife, Michele. Rob’s achievements in film and television gave us some of our most cherished stories on screen. But beneath all of the stories he produced was a deep belief in the goodness of people—and a lifelong commitment to putting that belief into action. Together, he and his wife lived lives defined by purpose. They will be remembered for the values they championed and the countless people they inspired. We send our deepest condolences to all who loved them.
'LET IT BE KNOWN': Secretary of War @PeteHegseth issues a deadly warning to anyone who targets Americans, after two U.S. Army soldiers and one civilian U.S. interpreter were killed during an ambush attack in Syria.
Hegseth said "the savage who perpetrated this attack was killed by partner forces" as the Department of War launches an active investigation.
Thoughts from a friend in the community with 20+ years of successful investment experience:
Fifteen years ago today, Satoshi Nakamoto logged into the Bitcoin forum for the last time and vanished. No manifesto, no grand vision, not even a "good luck."
The moment he disappeared, he completed the institutional loop—transitioning from technical decentralization to the decentralization of cognition and authority.
In terms of human evolution, the creator of new production relations stands far above the creator of productive forces. He saw clearly that once "trust" becomes a prerequisite for a system, that system is destined to collapse (sustained only by massive friction costs until it does).
So, he created a new set of production relations, stripping trust from the institution. His system is self-consistent, relying solely on game theory and mathematics. Almost single-handedly, he enabled a quantum leap in human production relations. In my view, his influence rivals that of the Code of Hammurabi—codifying power into law/grammar.
The Bitcoin in his wallets is now worth up to $100 billion, yet not a single satoshi has ever moved.
Over the past decade, I have repeatedly pondered the few words he left behind. His insight, restraint, execution, character, and demeanor move me deeply and have benefited me for a lifetime.
I originally intended to add my own commentary to each quote. I wrote and rewrote, but ultimately deleted everything. I realized that anything I wrote—even a single word—would only pollute the purity of his text.
