One of the several reasons why everything dropped all at once
Especially on the first day, was this BofA forecast of 3 rate hikes
Now that they have confirmed that only one or none is expected, depending on how the Iran war unfolds
Are we going up? I hope so
The bottom was today IMO
@ivygoldgirl@Lumiatix@lauren_w67 Wtf.
You’re changing the subject.
I never said the UK doesn’t have crime. I said we don’t have regular school shootings. If your solution is to arm teachers, why do countries with stricter gun laws not need armed teachers in the first place?
@ivygoldgirl@Lumiatix@lauren_w67 None of those crimes are school shootings.
The question isn’t whether the UK has crime. Of course it does. The question is whether making guns harder to obtain reduces school shootings. Since Dunblane, we haven’t had recurring school shootings like those seen in the US.
@ivygoldgirl@Lumiatix@lauren_w67 Criminals don’t follow laws, but they still need access to guns. After the Dunblane Massacre, the UK heavily restricted guns. And we’ve not had school shootings since. Arming teachers treats the symptom; restricting guns tackles the cause.
BREAKING: Total onchain crypto card payment volumes hit a record $833 million in May 2026, up +180% year-over-year.
High performance networks such as Optimism and Solana have benefited from the growth in payment related activity.
These networks have outperformed the broader market since 2025 while capturing a combined ~22% of market share.
Key onchain players are accelerating adoption, such as Jupiter Spend through localized payment options such as QR integration, which has seen 60%+ month-over-month payment volume growth.
As a result, cumulative onchain crypto card payment volumes have exceeded $9 billion for the first time in history.
Onchain adoption is seeing rapid growth.
BREAKING: MicroStrategy's, $MSTR, unrealized loss on its Bitcoin holdings rises to a record -$12.7 billion.

@stevehill1mil I think the semiconductor epic run is slowing
Time to move on to what potentially is the next hype.

BREAKING: The European Union has now spent an additional $32 billion on fossil fuel imports since the Iran War began.
The IEA is now calling the situation the biggest energy security threat in history.
Food inflation is set to accelerate in the US:
Average inflation for food and beverage companies surged +7.9% YoY in March, the biggest jump in at least 12 months.
This is up +373 basis points from +4.2% in February.
The largest jump was recorded in tomatoes at +102% YoY, vegetables at +90%, and diesel at +88%.
This was largely driven by higher fuel costs, meaning the full impact of rising fertilizer and plastics prices has not yet been reflected.
Meanwhile, urea prices, the world's most widely used nitrogen fertilizer, have doubled since February, to ~$900 per metric ton, the highest since the 2022.
Fertilizer costs are rapidly rising for farmers and will eventually translate into higher wholesale food prices before landing on grocery store shelves.
Food inflation is set to accelerate.
@2147mill So, we have another month or so, of a solid pump. Before the crash.
That’ll do for me. I’m more than happy with that. I’ll be prepared and generate more profit over the next 4 weeks.
