Wake up, America! It's time we stop calling the Devil's Dollar what it isn't. The USD you know - the one backed by gold - has been dead for over 50 years. What we have now? Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs), a fiat currency with no intrinsic value.
Let's call it what it is:
USD (Gold-Backed Dollar) - GONE since 1971.
Devil's Dollar/Fiat Dollar/FRN - The paper promises in your wallet.
By using 'Dollar' for both, we're blind to the theft of our hard currency. We need to differentiate to understand the shift from wealth to debt. Spread the word, or forever hold your peace with this illusion of wealth.

Now we know why Peter Thiel packed his bags for Argentina.
Milei just submitted his AI legislative framework to Congress, where he proposes:
- zero regulation on AI development,
- a brand-new "non-human corporation" category for AI/robot-operated entities with limited liability
-a low-tax regime with flexible governance rules.
The Dutch East India Company gave the world the limited liability company in 1602. Milei wants Argentina to do the same for autonomous AI agents in 2026.
Quantum Trick Can Power Devices Without Batteries
Figure: Wang et al, Newton 100410 (2026)
Scientists have used a quantum effect — the nonlinear Hall effect — to convert alternating electrical signals into usable direct currents. Usually this conversion is done with diodes or batteries, but they found a particular material (bismuth telluride (Bi₂Te₃), a topological insulator) that does it directly and demonstrated that the effect is robust at room temperature. The current they can handle is only in the range of some 100 microAmpere, but this material could convert stray electromagnetic radiation, for example from wireless networks, into electricity that could power tiny devices like sensors.
The grandson of the man who invented the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup is publicly criticizing The Hershey Company, accusing the candy giant of quietly changing the recipe of certain products sold by the iconic brand.
Brad Reese, grandson of founder H.B. Reese, whose company merged with Hershey in the 1960s, published an open letter Saturday alleging that Hershey has replaced traditional ingredients like milk chocolate and peanut butter with lower-cost substitutes in parts of the Reese’s product line.
"My grandfather built Reese's on a simple, enduring architecture: milk chocolate + peanut butter," Brad Reese wrote.
"I went and bought a bag, and I took a couple bites, and I had to throw the bag in the garbage," Reese said. "I couldn't eat it. It was not edible, and I looked at the packaging … and there was no milk chocolate, there was no peanut butter — it was all vegetable oils and fats."

Bravo to this guy who has done God's work to demolish SBF's latest nonsense. Make time to read.
If anyone has tips on which PR firm is helping SBF's parents run this sophisticated sock-puppet campaign, please send to me at Fortune!
We've had to work through a lot of difficult issues in the debate over market structure in Congress (token classification, yield, shared agency authority). But we are now getting to the heart of the matter in the Senate:
Whether Americans will be allowed to build and use permissionless private infrastructure in the US free from unwarranted prosecution (protected by the BRCA provisions in Clarity) or whether "national security interests" and "ease of prosecution" will trump those rights and protections.
Another way to put this:
Do you want the underlying pipes for all financial transactions to look like they have for decades: wholly owned and controlled by large banking interests and freely surveilled without warrants or reasonable suspeicion by corporations and the government?
Or do you think that money and assets should travel safely and privately on free and open infrastructure that's built and maintained by the people for the people?
Watch carefully who comes out on which side.
Do you want some Republican to instantly know that you paid for an abortion? Do you want some Democrat to instantly know you bought a gun? Do you want either to be able to freely and arbitrarily cut you off from the global economic rails without trial or oversight?
Or do you still believe in American values: privacy, liberty, and the rule of law?
