I LOVE your work but I must disagree with you on this one.
I don’t think that bump in valuation has anything to do with Trump accounts.
1. The Trump accounts don’t launch until July 4th. So that money hasn’t even hit the market yet
2. All the companies with AI offerings have gone up - HPE, Cisco, Supermicro, Dell, etc - over the last several months. Not just Dell.
@WabbitCwaz19912@elonmusk He never shifted viewpoints on major issues. The democrat party radically shifted left on major issues and left folks like him, me and a ton of others behind.
Thats the whole point of his tweet.
Clinton, Obama, and Biden would ALL be called “far right” today based on their words & actions up to 2015.
Their pre-2015 positions on abortion, LGBTQ rights, and immigration are now considered extreme far-right & bigoted.
****Abortion
Clinton (Gov/Pres thru 2015): Championed “safe, legal, and rare”—signaling reluctance & stigma now mocked as not celebratory enough. Signed parental notification & 3rd-trimester restrictions as AR Gov. Opposed most federal funding expansions, maintained Hyde-like restraint. “Rare” emphasis + late-term skepticism echoes pro-life limits today.
Obama (Senate/Pres thru 2015): “Present” votes dodging born-alive protections & partial-birth limits. Supported Hyde Amendment blocking federal $$. ACA signed with assurances against fed abortion funding. Funding limits & equivocation = “extreme” by current right (insufficient for left).
Biden (Sen/VP thru 2015): Decades-long Hyde supporter blocking Medicaid abortion funding (“odd man out”). Partial-birth limits. Catholic reservations, 2012 debate: no public funding. Taxpayer protection + late-term opposition = far-right priorities like defunding PP & heartbeat bills.
All three’s funding bans & procedural limits were mainstream Dem then—but “far-right” post-2015.
****LGBTQ Rights (Gay Marriage focus)
Clinton: Signed 1996 DOMA (fed def: 1 man/1 woman marriage, states ignore others)—cornerstone “far-right” policy now. Opposed redefining marriage into late 2000s. DADT compromise. Pre-2015 record: traditional definition + incrementalism. DOMA touted in ads—now condemned as bigoted.
Obama: 2008 opposed redefinition (civil unions yes, marriage no). “Evolving” until 2012. Pre-shift + DOMA delay aligned w/ conservative states’ rights & tradition.
Biden: Voted for DOMA (1996); affirmed man-woman marriage 2006/2008. Resisted redef until 2012. Resistance to rapid change = far-right biblical/civilizational norms.
Trans issues marginal pre-2015; marriage was flashpoint. Delays/oppositions = “far-right” today.
****Immigration
Clinton: Signed 1996 IIRIRA��expanded border control, expedited removals, employer sanctions, benefit cuts, criminal alien deportations. Operation Gatekeeper militarized border. “Crack down on illegal” rhetoric. Deportation ease & interior enforcement = baseline far-right demands now.
Obama: Record deportations (“Deporter in Chief”). Expanded Secure Communities, criminal focus. DACA discretionary but paired w/ fencing, border resources, felon prioritization. Tough-on-illegal stances praised by restrictionists.
Biden (thru 2015 as VP): Backed enforcement bills, border security, deportation-heavy approach. Pre-2015: enforcement-first.
All prioritized security, criminal removals, limiting benefits/illegal presence—derided as xenophobic today but bipartisan governance then.
Overall: Up to 2015, “far-right” elements by current metrics: abortion rarity/funding bans, DOMA traditional marriage, aggressive illegal crackdowns. Shifts tracked cultural tides, not principles. Undercuts progressive heroism narratives—their centrism looks conservative now. Facts show political expediency.
I’m bitcoin class of 2017 so I’m a firm believer, but….
I believe most retail and institutional money has rotated to AI. Until that plays out (either through consolidation or bust) that money won’t rotate back to crypto. In addition, crypto usually has its 4 year cycle low in the fall of midterms (per @ITC_Crypto).
Aristotle told us what the effects of mass migration would be - chaos. In addition, he warned that despots use chaos and disunity to rule since a people group that is unified doesn’t need a ruler.
