If you’re selling anything or you are telling me what to do I will immediately delete you. I’m not buying and hate being told anything, if I want something I will find it because I am always exploring our world 🌎

@nero_eth Hilarious, I told ETH guys this in 2013, before they wrote any code. Obviously they didn't listen.

He literally just forgot not to bend his leg. LOL
And we’re supposed to imagine there is a fully assembled rifle in that bent leg.

I can’t take this stupidity much longer.

@teameffujoe What does Israel have on video of you doing to make you lie like this ?
The prosecution admitted in court there is no video or pictures of Tyler with a gun. Let alone shooting it.

Syrian Arms Dealer Wafic Said publicly attacked President Trump, saying he was “deeply saddened” by the refugee orders.

He’s also named in the Epstein files as a contact.

Now his company is pushing to take over the company that owns the Capital Hilton, where Trump dined just months ago.

A Syrian arms dealer with terrorist ties and an anti-Trump record controlling a key D.C. political hotel?

This is insane!

Demand from foreign countries for US government debt is now failing to keep up with the rapid growth of US debt obligations.

Foreign government entities now hold just 12.5 percent of outstanding US Treasury bonds, the lowest share since the start of the century.

That is down 24 percentage points from the peak in 2009. Over the same period, total US marketable government debt has surged by $23 trillion, a 379 percent increase, reaching $29.1 trillion, near all time highs.

Crucially, foreign holdings of US Treasuries grew by only $1.5 trillion, or 63 percent, to roughly $3.9 trillion.
China’s holdings have fallen by more than half to $651.1 billion, the lowest level since September 2008.

Meanwhile the US continues to pile on government debt at a record pace.

@AndrewKolvet Denae Branch? Isn’t she one of the neighbors that lives on the Caldera Engineering street? Like from the Lyman/Branch family that owns every house on the street?

Kiev. Tonight the cities military production facilities are being struck again

The Dictatorship thought it was a good idea to build its missiles and warheads amongst the city's population

The Russian programme of destroying Kiev's military infrastructure is intensifying

«Geranis» disrupted the delivery of Ukrainian drones to their launch site: five trucks transporting UAVs in the Dnipropetrovsk region were destroyed.
The "Geran-4 Saker" UAV units struck a parking lot with three trucks and two tractors transporting UAVs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the R-73 Dnipro-Nikopol highway.

REMEMBER THIS

[Cedric Youngelman ⚡️ @CedYoungelman]

"Is there even such a thing as 'spam' on Bitcoin?"

@Excellion cuts through the argument most Bitcoiners talk past. Native Bitcoin data vs. ordinals, why immutability is the thing being abused, and where the line between spam and not-spam actually sits.

The definition the BIP 110 fight keeps dodging.

Samson Mow on what actually counts as spam:

"There's a simpler way to define spam: it's not an organic Bitcoin transaction — it's trying to do something else.

A Bitcoin transaction is data, yes — but it's Bitcoin's native data. If you're sending someone Bitcoin, that's not spam.

But a lot of what we're seeing now — ordinals and the like — is trying to embed data and images into Bitcoin to piggyback on its immutability. That's the delineation: this is spam, this is not."

I spoke to McConnell for about 20 minutes this morning.

He said we should end the war with Iran, quit giving aid to Israel, stop spying on Americans without a warrant, and he’s really sorry about how my primary turned out.

[Andy Edstrom @edstromandrew]

Sigh. This product does not interest me at all.

I have been asking for multi-year term debt against BTC collateral for many years.

It's the only reasonable way to borrow.

6 months is not even close.

Only thing that's even in the ballpark is joint-collateral with real estate. But even that's not widely available as far as I can tell.

Real solutions for borrowing against BTC are always 1 market cycle away.

Meanwhile more people too far out over their skis keep reaching out to me for help.

Two competing forces in one chart.

Force one: technology relentlessly pushes prices down. That’s what progress is - making more with less. Left alone, everything on this chart would be falling.

Force two: our system runs on debt and that debt can’t tolerate falling prices. If prices fall, incomes fall, and yesterday’s loans can’t be repaid. So the system defends itself: whenever prices sag, more money and credit are created to push them back up. Trillions, decade after decade.

Now, why does all that new money land on the red side and not the blue? Because everything on the red side shares the same broken structure: the person consuming it isn’t really the one paying for it, and the price is inflated by someone else’s money.

Housing: bought with mortgages. When credit expands, buyers show up with bigger loans and bid up the same houses. Cheap credit doesn’t make homes affordable - it raises the price of every home.

College: paid with government-backed student loans handed to any 18-year-old for any degree. Colleges saw an unlimited pipeline of borrowed money and priced accordingly. The loans didn’t make college affordable - they told colleges exactly how much more they could charge.

Healthcare: the most distorted of all. You don’t see prices, you don’t shop, and you don’t pay directly - your employer, your insurer, or the government does. When a third party pays, nobody asks what anything costs, and providers charge whatever the middlemen will absorb. Add regulations that block competition and you get 281%…with worse service.

Then the supply side seals it. You can’t quickly make more land, doctors, hospital beds, or accredited universities - regulation, licensing, and zoning cap them all. So new money hitting these sectors can’t be absorbed by more supply. It gets absorbed entirely by higher prices.

The blue side is the opposite: you pay with your own money, you see the price, competitors fight for you, and supply scales infinitely. That’s why blue falls even while trillions are printed - technology deflates it faster than money is created. TVs still fell 98%. Without the printing, it would have been even more.

And that’s the hidden part: consumer tech’s visible progress is masking the true scale of what’s happening to your money.

So the whole picture: falling prices were supposed to be your reward for progress. Instead, that reward gets captured to keep the debt machine running - and funneled through credit, subsidies, and middlemen into the essentials you can’t opt out of. Wages up 131%. Tuition up 197%. Hospitals up 281%. More productive than ever, falling behind anyway.

We explore this on my show constantly. It’s the most important economic story of our time.

▪️IRGC targets tankers that are following the route set by the US, in contrast to the route authorized by Iran.
▪️Among them are the Qatari tanker AL REKAYYAT, the Saudi oil tanker WEDYAN, the UAE tanker AL MARYAH, and two unregistered tankers.
▪️In this regard, the US announced that it is revoking the license for the sale of Iranian oil.
➖"As President Trump and his administration have repeatedly stated, the current memorandum of understanding with Iran is entirely based on the principle of fulfilling obligations. Iran will only benefit if it demonstrates appropriate behavior," a US official told Axios.

when the samourai devs had their homes raided by heavily armed cops 2 years ago it sent a chill throughout the bitcoin industry

i felt it first hand, shit was scary and nobody knew what was about to come next

when the dust cleared a bit, arrested and funds seized, it was obvious they were going to need significant legal defense funds

made a few calls, but nobody wanted to stick their neck out, reasonable, i myself was hoping someone else would handle it, a young family of my own that i did not want to put at additional risk

but someone had to do it, so we launched the p2prights fund through @bitcoinpolicy, still proud of those guys to this day for taking that risk head on when nobody else would

in total, we raised about a million dollars worth of bitcoin, well short of what was needed to fight the case properly, mostly from individuals, honestly it was pretty disappointing, made me rethink a bunch of things

anyway, we still need to free samourai, lets get it done
