There’s nothing worse than having a great trading plan but then not executing on that strategy. If I would’ve followed my $DXY strategy I would’ve sold the pico top on $BTC but instead got greedy and now holding my bags to zero.
"If all else fails, I will retreat up the valley of Virginia, plant my flag on the Blue Ridge, rally around the Scotch-Irish of that region and make my last stand for liberty amongst a people who will never submit to tyranny whilst there is a man left to draw a trigger." -GW
A hot dog stand in Chicago. I reached for the ketchup.
The man behind the counter said one word. "No."
I froze. I understood. I had nearly broken a sacred law.
His name was Sal. He held a mustard bottle in each hand and had the calm of a man who has turned away kings. He told me the dog already had mustard, relish, onion, tomato, a pickle, peppers, and celery salt. He told me it was "dragged through the garden." He told me ketchup would never touch it.
I bowed. I had been shown the code.
I asked Sal who decreed this law. He shrugged. "That's just how it is here." A law so old its author is forgotten. The strongest kind.
Then a man two stools down asked for ketchup for his child. Sal allowed it. "Eight and under," he said.
So the law holds one mercy. Below eight winters, a child is innocent. At eight, he becomes responsible for his own honor. I found this more beautiful than anything in my own country.
I have not put ketchup on anything since.
Not on eggs. Not on rice. A vow does not check what is on the plate.
I flew home. At a stand in my own city, a boy reached for the red bottle. I caught his wrist. "You are over eight," I said. He did not know what I meant. His mother was upset. I tried to explain the garden. I tried to explain Sal.
I am now asked not to return to that stand.
I have appointed myself guardian of a law from a city I visited once, for a single afternoon.
So tell me, America.
Who forbade the red sauce on the sausage, and in what year?
And if no one remembers, who am I now serving?
🚨 ILLINOIS ENACTS MOST AGGRESSIVE BITCOIN TAX IN THE 🇺🇸 US
Governor J.B. Pritzker has signed Illinois’ new Digital Asset Tax Act into law.
Starting January 1, 2027, Illinois will impose a 0.20% tax on the gross value of digital assets exchanged, transferred, or stored for customers.
In practice:
• Buy Bitcoin? Pay the tax.
• Transfer Bitcoin? Pay the tax.
• Store BTC with a custodian? Pay the tax.
Move $1 million through a bank wire, ACH transfer, brokerage account, or traditional custodian and Illinois takes nothing.
Move that same $1 million as a digital asset and the state takes $2,000.
The tax applies regardless of whether there is any profit, income, or capital gain. It is levied simply because a digital asset is being exchanged, transferred, or stored.
Critics argue this creates a first-of-its-kind regime that singles out blockchain-based activity while leaving analogous banking, brokerage, custody, and payment services untouched.
The law targets the service layer of the digital asset economy. While trading for one’s own account is excluded, businesses facilitating exchange, transfer, or custody for customers must collect and remit the tax, with customers ultimately liable if it is not collected.
The Crypto Council for Innovation warned that Illinois is becoming a national outlier by adopting a transaction-based tax on digital assets that has no comparable equivalent for stocks, bonds, derivatives, bank deposits, or traditional financial transactions anywhere else in the country.
Industry groups say the law is a powerful incentive for entrepreneurs, startups, and investment to leave Illinois for more competitive jurisdictions.
Perhaps most surprising is the timing. Illinois only recently adopted the Digital Assets and Consumer Protection Act (DACPA), a framework many viewed as a constructive approach to blockchain innovation. This new tax represents a sharp reversal.
The question now is whether other states follow Illinois’ lead, or whether this becomes a case study in how to drive an emerging industry elsewhere.
No Goy should ever do business with this vicious Zionist jew that doxxed Austin Franco
His name is Gabe Einhorn and he runs VryfID
It’s time we started cancelling jews for supporting Israel and threatening Goy lives.
Wist je dat?
Moslims bidden niet op straat in Iran, Saoedi-Arabië of andere moslimlanden—het is illegaal en onbeleefd, omdat het anderen stoort.
Ze doen het alleen in landen die ze veroveren, als een dominantie-strategie.
