Free speech in Europe is disappearing.
A controversial European Union proposal dubbed “Chat Control” is gaining momentum, with 19 out of 27 EU member states reportedly backing the measure.
The plan would mandate that messaging platforms, including WhatsApp, Signal and Telegram, must scan every message, photo and video sent by users starting in October, even if end-to-end encryption is in place.
Denmark reintroduced the proposal on July 1, the first day of its EU Council presidency. France, once opposed, is now in favor.
Belgium, Hungary, Sweden, Italy and Spain are also in favor, while Germany remains undecided. However, if Berlin joins the majority, a qualified council vote could push the plan through by mid-October.
A qualified majority in the EU Council is achieved when two conditions are met. First, at least 55 percent of member states, meaning 15 out of 27, must vote in favor. Second, those countries must represent at least 65% of the EU’s total population.
Christine Lagarde, president van de ECB, heeft eerder een gesprek gehad met Klaus Schwab, over haar mogelijke vroegtijdige vertrek bij de ECB. Dit komt naar voren na Schwab’s abrupte vertrek bij het WEF eerder deze maand. Volgens Bloomberg (16 mei 2025) waren er plannen om Lagarde als opvolger van Schwab aan te stellen, maar zijn vertrek heeft deze overgang bemoeilijkt. Dit kan grote gevolgen hebben voor de ECB en de toekomst van digitale valuta.

En er is blijkbaar nog geen vervanger voor Klaas Knot die over een maand vertrekt.
BBC News reports from a remote community of 15,000 people in the far north-western tip of Zambia relying on hydroelectric power, “The bitcoin mine now accounts for around 30% of the plant's revenue allowing them to keep the prices down for the local town”
@primex001 By asking the questions you educate the masses. They need to learn to think about these topics instead of blindly following a trend. Otherwise it will only create paper hands. Keep bringing up these questions 🙌.
What paths can the U.S. take to buy Bitcoin budget-neutrally?
- Revalue Gold Certificates ($800B)
The U.S. officially values its gold reserves at just $42 per ounce, while the real market price is around $2,400 per ounce. Adjusting this outdated valuation could unlock hundreds of billions without printing new money.
- Use the Exchange Stabilization Fund
This fund holds billions in reserves, which could be tapped without needing taxpayer contributions.
- Sell Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) – $160B
The U.S. has liquid assets in the form of SDRs from the IMF. Selling these could provide a quick injection of capital.
- Trade Tariff Revenue ($39B+)
Import duties generate billions annually—redirecting a portion of this income could help finance Bitcoin purchases.
- Sell Off Excess Federal Land & Property
The government owns a massive amount of land and buildings that could be sold off to fund Bitcoin acquisitions.
- Issue Bitcoin-Backed Treasury Bonds
A creative approach: launch Bitcoin-backed bonds and let investors finance the purchases instead of taxpayers.
