Lyn Alden: People keep asking "when will the debt matter?" Like there's some big day of reckoning coming.
"Sovereign debt tends to work differently. It tends to be more of a process."
"It has been mattering... since about 2018/2019."
The US deficit is now bigger than ALL private bank lending combined.
That's never happened outside a recession before.

🎥WATCH: TETHER CEO EXPLAINS WHY $184B USDT DID NOT APPLY FOR MICA
Paolo Ardoino said Tether did not apply for MiCA license because “it is very dangerous when it comes to stablecoins.”
He said the rules could force issuers to park 60% of reserves in “uninsured cash deposits” at small European banks unable to handle redemptions.
"I think it's a very not well thought legislation," Ardoino said, adding he "skipped MiCA to protect the 400 million plus users” of Tether.
🚨UNBELIEVABLE: TRUMP IS LIKELY TO BE THE HIGHEST US CRYPTO EARNER OF 2025, DISCLOSING $1.4B IN PROFIT
US President Donald Trump’s latest financial disclosure reveals more than $1.4 BILLION in income tied to crypto ventures in his first year back in office.
Asked about profiting during his presidency, Trump said: “You know why I’m profiting? Because the stock market is going up.”
However, his own annual disclosure shows the income came from memecoins, tokens and equity in a crypto project co-founded with his sons.
No other publicly disclosed US crypto earner of 2025 appears to come close to Trump.
✅ @GrassFedBitcoin: why BIP-110 will succeed, the precedent BIP-148 set, and why nearly everyone will “press the red button.” 🔴 He begins by answering the question “can BIP-110 fail?”
Germany's Chancellor Merz:
We can no longer accept the extraordinarily high levels of sick leave in our companies.
We are abolishing sick leave by telephone and introducing the requirement to submit a medical certificate from the very first day of illness.
We know this is a tough decision. But we can no longer afford this competitive disadvantage caused by prolonged absences from work.
🇷🇺 RUSSIA ACCUSED THE U.S. OF USING CRYPTO TO WIPE OUT ITS $35T DEBT.
PUTIN’S ADVISER KOBYAKOV SAID WASHINGTON WILL SHOVE DEBT INTO STABLECOINS, DEVALUE IT, AND RESET THE SYSTEM.
"Your house, your assets, all of the things you think you control, if the debt underneath them is insolvent, they're all worth zero."
@JeffBooth on why $300 trillion in global debt means your wealth only survives if your money gets debased.

A big part of Erling Haaland’s approach is surprisingly simple: prioritize real food. Be like @erling
🥩 Quality beef
🥛 Raw milk (where legally available)
🥚 Eggs
🍯 Raw honey
🧈 Animal fats
🐟 Seafood
🥔 Potatoes & rice to fuel training
🥬 Whole, minimally processed foods
No magic powders. No ultra-processed junk. Just nutrient-dense foods that have fueled high performers for generations.
You don’t have to eat exactly like a professional athlete, but there’s something to learn from keeping nutrition simple: eat foods with ingredients your great-grandparents would recognize, prioritize protein, and build your meals around real food.
Performance starts with what you put on your plate. 💪
What whole food has made the biggest difference for your health? 👇

🔥 CZ: BITCOIN SHOULD FREEZE SATOSHI'S COINS IF THEY DON'T MOVE WITHIN A YEAR
CZ suggests the Bitcoin community should give Satoshi a 12-month window to move his coins before a quantum upgrade, and freeze them permanently if they don't move.
"On the new protocol, there will be like only 20 million coins because we're just going to lock them."
He warned that doing nothing means "we're basically giving to somebody who's going to hack it" once quantum computing catches up.
Are we confusing how important AI is with how safe it is to invest in?
Today I’m sitting down with Jeremy Grantham - a man whose firm managed up to $165 billion and helped create one of the world's first index funds.
He has spent more than 60 years studying markets, money, and human behaviour.
Along the way, he’s built a legendary reputation for spotting financial ‘bubbles’ long before most people admit they exist - those rare, dangerous moments when pure excitement and FOMO push asset prices completely out of reality, far beyond what they are actually worth.
And Jeremy believes that exact pattern is happening with AI right now...
We broke this down some more:
- Could AI be revolutionary and still become a dangerous bubble?
- Why do the most exciting stocks often fall the hardest?
- What would happen if AI stocks dropped by 70%?
- How did Amazon fall 92% and still become one of the biggest companies on earth?
- Are markets driven more by psychology than numbers?
- Why is Jeremy moving his own money out of US stocks?
- Could house prices still have further to fall?
And this conversation didn’t stop at markets…
Jeremy also opened up about what’s happening to human fertility…
He broke down why sperm counts have dropped so dramatically since 1970 and the hidden role that pesticides, plastics, and PFAS are playing that most people completely fail to realise.
What became clear to me during our chat is that Jeremy isn't just warning us about AI.
He's warning us about our behaviour around risk - the assumption that because something will matter in the future, any price we pay for it today must be justified.
He wants us to know that something can be revolutionary and STILL be overpriced…
For anyone trying to understand what we might be missing in this AI moment and beyond, this is an essential conversation.
🇪🇺 AMERICA BANNED IT. EUROPE BUILT IT. SAME DAY.
The US Senate just outlawed a central bank digital currency.
Hours later, the EU advanced the digital euro for 2029.
Two superpowers. One question. Opposite answers.
America bets on private stablecoins.
Europe bets on state money.
The map of digital finance just split in two.
Is Bitcoin destined for $0 or $1M? 🚀
The reality might be way more intense than we think. We’re talking about a potential total collapse via quantum computing versus global dominance. It’s wild that the entire value proposition rests on a math problem, but have you ever actually checked the ledger yourself? Time to question everything. via Wealth with Jake
Say blockchain one more time because he almost understands! 😂 what do you all think about Crypto, ye or ne ?
