Winged Words.

I like finance, geopolitics and culture.

@Nostre_damus It’s amazing how little this matters anymore.

Many people won’t like this but the consequence of inaction or complacency has always been anxiety.

There are obviously other factors but many of those factors are inhibiting your complacency.

@coinbureau “System is wrong, HODL forever” until the preferred dividends hit. Then it’s “we sold at $59k to validate to the market.” Peak cope.

[J.R.Prentice @TheJRPrentice]

This is genuinely some of the most blatant and heinous lying I’ve ever seen.

@saylor has lost all credibility and respect.

🔥WATCH: MIchael Saylor on why Strategy sold $BTC.

"The market's position was the company is worthless. Bitcoin is going to zero because they can't sell."

"So we sold the Bitcoin at $59,000 and it traded up."

@TedPillows When you factor in the opportunity cost it’s far worse as well.

@calvinfroedge Are you actively trading Calvin or do you mostly go long?

Gradually and then suddenly.

BREAKING: China’s central bank officially added +20 tonnes of gold in July, its largest monthly purchase since October 2023.

This follows +15 tonnes and +10 tonnes acquired in June and May, respectively, and marks their 21st consecutive monthly increase in gold reserves.

Year-to-date, China has officially raised its gold reserves by +60 tonnes, bringing its total gold holdings up to a record 2,366 tonnes.

Meanwhile, China’s central bank has reportedly been moving more of its gold reserves from London to Hong Kong, signaling support for the city’s push to become a major global gold-trading hub.

The relocation is set to continue as Hong Kong launches a new gold-clearing system aimed at making the city a bigger center for global gold trading and pricing.

China’s appetite for gold remains incredibly strong.

Right now Asia still accounts for half of all births worldwide. Africa is already at about 35% and rising.

By 2100, half of every baby born on Earth is projected to be African. That’s where the remaining population growth is coming from.

[World of Statistics @stats_feed]

It took humanity 300,000 years to reach 1 billion people.

Then just 200 more years to reach 8 billion.

Year 1 AD: ~300 million.
1800: 1 billion.
1930: 2 billion.
1960: 3 billion.
1975: 4 billion.
1987: 5 billion.
1999: 6 billion.
2011: 7 billion.
2022: 8 billion.

The last billion took just 11 years.

No other species has ever modified the planet at this scale, this fast.

@Nostre_damus Trade deficits with the US/EU are verifiable. But Taiwan, Korea, Australia, Brazil, Japan and Russia run surpluses with China. Aggregate surplus ≠ every partner is in deficit

Since 2020, the US has printed 29% of all dollars in existence.

Not in history. In five years.

Your groceries aren't expensive. Your money is cheap.

@Alejand34252588 @Nostre_damus Authoritarian regimes have an easier time controlling information, that shouldn’t shock you. It’s much harder to do that in a free press country, with third parties involved.

Just three companies, Amazon, Alphabet and Meta, have already sold nearly $170 billion of investment-grade bonds so far in 2026, dwarfing last year's total tech issuance: Bloomberg. And they keep issuing, with Alphabet today looking to sell an additional $25 billion of bonds.

@KobeissiLetter The irony.
