🇺🇸 ALERT: U.S. housing market has reached its most unaffordable level on record, per Barchart.

U.S. Housing Market has reached its most unaffordable level in history 🚨🚨

[Chief_Engineer @ChiefEngineerCE]

Millennials aren’t mad because they’re lazy.

They’re mad because they did everything they were told.

Go to college.
Take on debt.
Work hard.
Be patient.
Don’t complain.

And in return?
• Wages that never caught up
• Homes turned into investor assets
• Careers replaced by “contract roles” and the Gig economy.
• Pensions gone, benefits cut
• Kids and even marriage ...unaffordable

They watched their parents buy houses on one income.
They watched corporations get bailouts.
They watched illegals take the jobs that used to provide enough for a modest living and Visas take the jobs that they were told they could have if they worked hard enough.

They watched politicians sell their future and every single one become a millionaire months after they started their terms.

This isn’t entitlement.
It’s awareness.
They’re angry because they can do the math.

One of the most significant moments from the Trump Davos speech was when he said the quiet part out loud

You cannot lower housing costs for young people without destroying millions in wealth for boomers

"Every time you make it more affordable for somebody to own a house cheaply, you are actually hurting the value of those houses. I don't want to do anything to hurt the value of their house.

If I wanted to crush the housing market, I could do that so fast that people could buy houses. But you would destroy people who already have houses."

Our politicians are sacrificing people in their 20s and 30s for the prosperity of boomers

Let that sink in

[Ray Dalio @RayDalio]

It's now happening. The existing fiat monetary order, the domestic political order, and the international geopolitical order are all breaking down, so we are at the brink of wars. It all is happening because of the Big Cycle that is driven by the five big forces I've described repeatedly and laid out in detail in my book and Youtube video titled Principles for Dealing with The Changing World Order.

🚨DID MORGAN STANLEY PULL OFF THE BIGGEST CRYPTO MANIPULATION?

The sequence of Bitcoin’s October crash and January recovery looks like a planned setup, and the data supports it.

Let’s go through it 👇

1) OCTOBER 10: THE TRIGGER

On October 10, MSCI, originally a Morgan Stanley division, announced a proposal to remove Digital Asset Treasury Companies from its global indexes.

That included firms like MicroStrategy and Metaplanet, whose balance sheets hold billions worth of Bitcoin. This wasn’t a small change because MSCI indexes guide trillions of dollars in passive flows.

If those firms were removed:
• Pension funds and ETFs would be forced to sell
• Institutional exposure to Bitcoin would shrink
• Liquidity would tighten sharply

Minutes after the announcement, Bitcoin dropped nearly -$18,000, erasing more than $900 billion from crypto’s total market cap.

2) THEN THE 3-MONTH PRESSURE WINDOW.

The consultation stayed open until December 31, meaning three full months of uncertainty.

That overhang froze demand:

• Passive investors avoided exposure
• Index-linked funds risked forced selling
• Prices stayed weak
• Sentiment collapsed

During this period, Bitcoin dropped about 31%, altcoins even more.
It was the worst quarter for crypto since 2018.

3) JANUARY 1st: SUDDEN PUMP STARS

From Jan 1st, Bitcoin starts pumping without any bullish news, and in the first 5 days of 2026, Bitcoin jumped 8%, that’s a $7300 pump from $87,500 to $94,800.

No one knew why, but somehow the relentless selling stopped, and Bitcoin was printing back-to-back green candles.

These were probably insiders who knew what was coming in the next few days.

4) JANUARY 5th-6th: THE REVERSAL

Then, somehow, in 24 hours, everything flipped.

First, Morgan Stanley filed for its own spot Bitcoin, ETH, and Solana ETFs.

Then, in a few hours, MSCI announced that it would not remove the crypto-heavy companies after all.

The exact rule that caused three months of selling pressure was suddenly withdrawn the same day Morgan Stanley launched a product that benefits from a recovering market.

That’s not a coincidence.

Here’s the full sequence in order:

1. MSCI threatens index removals (October 10)

2. Crypto crashes, uncertainty lasts 3 months

3. Prices stay suppressed while institutions wait

4. Morgan Stanley files its ETF (January 5)

5. MSCI cancels the removal threat (January 6)

It’s a clear pattern:

Create pressure
accumulate at low prices
launch product
remove pressure
Make money

MSCI controls index inclusion.
Morgan Stanley controls capital distribution.

Together, they can influence how and when institutional money reaches Bitcoin.

The October crash wasn’t just market panic. It was a structural play.

Now that the overhang is gone, liquidity is returning, and the same players who engineered the pressure are positioned to profit from the rebound.

There is no official confirmation that this was coordinated, but the sequence, the timing, and who benefited raise real questions.

[James Lavish @jameslavish]

Most people have never heard of the Cantillon Effect.
But once you understand it, you’ll see the world of investing differently.

What is it?

In the early 1700s, Richard Cantillon noticed a simple pattern:
When new money enters an economy, it doesn’t reach everyone at once.
And whoever gets it first benefits the most.

Here’s how it works today:

New liquidity enters through the Fed and through bank lending.
Both follow a similar pattern:

→ Markets and large balance sheets get first access
→ Large corporations and well-connected borrowers tap cheap credit next, they invest and expand at today’s prices
→ Asset prices tend to rise as new liquidity chases finite assets
→ Consumer prices often follow
→ Wages rise last, usually after purchasing power has already declined

Fed data shows how lopsided the playing field is:
- The top 10% hold nearly 90% of equities.
- The bottom 50% holds about 1%.

It’s a simple but powerful monetary transmission.

Understanding this won’t change the system.
But it might change how you think about where to store your savings.

For those of you who don't know, I write all about topics like this every week in The Informationist. Last week, we dove deep on this one.

jpmorgan and bank of america now issue credit at 65-70% ltv against bitcoin holdings. company posts 10,000 btc, borrows $600m tax-free, buys more btc, borrows against the new stack. banks earn 2-4% annually on $60b in btc-backed loans. they need you to accumulate bitcoin to generate revenue. the leverage loop is their business model now.

[Felix Prehn 🐶 @felixprehn]

Bank of America just leaked their report to institutional clients.

They've revealed the Fed is about to print $45 billion per month, disguising it as “reserve management purchases” so you won't notice.

You’re about to see your savings get crushed by inflation.

🚨 BREAKING: SEC CHAIR JUST SAID IT LIVE ON FOX

THE BITCOIN & CRYPTO MARKET STRUCTURE BILL IS ABOUT TO PASS. 🇺🇸

This is not a drill.

If this goes through:
• Clear rules for Bitcoin & crypto
• Institutional greenlight
• Banks + funds can finally scale in
• Capital walls come down → liquidity floods in

We’re not talking billions.
We’re talking TRILLIONS lining up at the door.

Crypto’s regulatory moment is here.
The money cannon is warming up.

[Ethprofit.eth 🦇🔊 @Ethprofit]

🚨 BREAKING: SEC Chair just said it LIVE on Fox.

The U.S. crypto market structure bill is about to PASS 🇺🇸

This isn’t about bitcoin headlines. This is about Ethereum becoming the regulated financial backbone.

If this goes through: • Clear rules for ETH and on chain assets
• Institutional greenlight for Ethereum rails
• Banks and funds can scale DeFi, staking, tokenization
• Capital walls fall. Liquidity FLOODS into ETH

We’re not talking billions.
We’re talking TRILLIONS flowing through Ethereum.

ETH isn’t waiting for adoption.
It’s being legalized into inevitability. 🔥
