After expenses, almost every dollar in America ends up in one of five places. Bonds, stocks, real estate, gold, or Bitcoin.
Over the last eleven years, four of them returned between 1.2x and 4x.
The fifth returned 273x.
Milton Friedman: “I am not a conservative. I’ve never been a conservative. Hayek was not a conservative.”
“We are liberals in the true meaning of that term: concerned with freedom. We are not liberals in the current distorted sense—those liberal with other people’s money.”
Australia has essentially become a welfare state where a shrinking group of productive people are being taxed into oblivion to support an ever growing army of lazy dropkicks. Go ahead. Cry in the comments. Screen shot and share this like a coward. It doesn’t matter, I am correct.
At 961,022, BIP-110 has 38 signals (2.70%). Its 55% voluntary threshold is impossible. At 961,632, BIP-110 nodes reject non-signaling blocks. Unless major miners reverse, Bitcoin continues normally while BIP-110 stalls or forks into irrelevance. Its backers should stand down.
@publiusbtc@balajis It's funny because blood and soil nationalists are denying that economics play a part in decisions to revolt or depart, like how Americans with British ancestry revolted against the British empire over tea tax. No blood loyalty there then??
@GeoffWilsonWAM@ausgov@JEChalmers@AlboMP@15 it is absolutely disgusting how they are dis-incentivising the young to take risk (as they have the time ahead) - the one proven growth method that allows them to get ahead and earn outsized returns whilst introducing a policy that ACTUALLY defends property investors more. Crazy.
🚨 Funniest. President. EVER!
REPORTER TO ZOHRAN MAMDANI: "Are you affirming you think President Trump is a FASCIST?"
MAMDANI: "I've-"
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "-that's OK. You can just say YES. It's easier than explaining it, I don't mind." *Pats Mamdani on the back*
OMG 😭😭
OG Bitcoin whales are dumping.
This chart gives a good visual of how many super whales are cashing out of Bitcoin. All lines here are 7+ year on-chain spends from pre-2018 era OG Bitcoin Hodlers.
🟠Orange = $100M OG dumps.
🔴Red = $500M OG dumps.
The chart is VERY colorful in 2025.
OGs are cashing out.
This is the BIGGEST de-escalation yet.
Under the new US-China trade deal, President Trump made a HUGE agreement with China:
China will suspend ALL retaliatory tariffs announced since March 4th.
And, China will suspend or remove ALL retaliatory non-tariff countermeasures taken since March 4th.
This is not getting nearly enough attention.
17 years after the white paper, the Bitcoin network is still operational and more resilient than ever. Bitcoin never shuts down.
@SenateDems could learn something from that.
