Agree 100%. The Greek taverna is the best!

[FS7 🌴 @0xfs7]

the Greek taverna is one of the most civilised social inventions in human history

hear me out 😩

you arrive, usually with people and the table is in the street or near the sea

the waiter doesn't rush you

he brings water and bread and olives without being asked

you order in the general direction of what you want - more plates arrive than you ordered because the kitchen decided something else was also good today

you eat across two hours

the conversation moves through subjects, nobody checks their phone

at some point - maybe hour 3 - the owner brings 3 small glass of something on the house

not because you asked but because you've been there long enough to be a real customer now

that the Greek taverna figured out - probably 2,000 years ago - is that the purpose of a meal is the experience of being human in a specific place with specific people

the food enables that

it doesn't replace it

modern restaurant culture forgot this

the Greek taverna never did

Gold is "Getting Very Scary" at These Levels

A "profound reversion cycle" is here, and the fourth quarter could set the tone for the next few decades, warns Mike McGlone @mikemcglone11, Senior Macro Strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence. McGlone tells Kitco News' Jeremy Szafron @JeremySzafron that gold's "scary" rally toward $4,000 is a major warning sign for the broader economy, pointing to a massive shift into gold ETFs this year after four years of outflows.

McGlone cautions that with stock market volatility near five-year lows, even a minor reversion could cause the "dominoes to tumble" for risk assets. He explains why he believes industrial commodities are vulnerable, forecasting that crude oil is in a "low price cure trajectory" that could see it revert toward $40 a barrel. He also explains why copper's rally is at risk and why silver may continue to lag #gold due to its industrial properties. Finally, McGlone breaks down why Bitcoin's correlation to the stock market is at its highest ever, making it a clear risk-on asset in this environment.

Trump says US forces bombed Iran nuclear sites; says 'Fordow is gone'

U.S. forces struck three Iranian nuclear sites in a "very successful attack," President Donald #Trump said on Saturday, adding that the crown jewel of #Tehran's nuclear program, #Fordow, is gone. After days of deliberation, Trump's decision to join #Israel's military campaign against its major rival Iran represents a major escalation of the conflict. "All planes are safely on their way home," Trump said in a post on Truth Social, and he congratulated "our great American Warriors." "A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow," he said. "Fordow is gone." "#IRAN MUST NOW AGREE TO END THIS WAR," he posted.

'The End of Fiat Is Now' - Why Bitcoin and Gold Are the Future | Ricardo Salinas

Billionaire Ricardo Salinas says fiat money is collapsing and #Bitcoin is the only path to monetary freedom. In this exclusive Kitco News interview, Salinas explains why central banks are running a global Ponzi scheme, how CBDCs will institutionalize financial surveillance, and why the #peso is already in trouble under #Mexico’s new leadership. He also breaks down #gold’s strategic role, mining risks in Mexico, and why he’s preparing for what he calls “the fiat endgame.”

Salinas, chairman of Grupo Salinas and founder of Banco Azteca, is one of Latin America’s largest private Bitcoin holders. He shares his personal experience with hyperinflation, how it shaped his investment philosophy, and why he believes we’re entering a new monetary era where Bitcoin, gold, and miners will replace trust in governments and paper money.

Gold will reach $4,000/oz, silver will hit $40/oz toward year-end as global turmoil resumes – BoA’s Blanch

(Kitco News by Ernest Hoffman) – The current correction in precious metals prices is the result of lowered near-term geopolitical instability, but #gold and #silver will both post further gains in the second half of 2025, according to Francisco Blanch, head of global commodity and derivatives research at Bank of America Securities.

“We've been calling for $3,500 gold for the first half of this year,” Blanch said in an interview with CNBC. “We got there, and we feel the market's going through a correction right now that could last a few months. We're still bullish longer term. We think longer term, maybe into the second half or into 2026, we'll breach $4,000 per ounce, but we're going through a correction because some of the extreme uncertainty that we've witnessed in recent months seems to be fading.”

Solar power surge fueling silver’s structural deficit and drive prices, says BMO

(Kitco News by @neils_C) - Silver continues to struggle below $33 an ounce as global recession fears weigh on the precious metal’s industrial consumption; however, one Canadian bank expects that one sector will remain an important driving force for silver.

Commodity analysts at BMO Capital Markets said the solar power sector will continue to play a dominant role in the silver market as global demand for cheap renewable energy continues to grow. Silver is a key component in photovoltaic solar panels.

“Our analysis suggests that this will keep silver in deficit for the foreseeable future, with the market balanced by flows from the investor space to the industrial space. Recent positioning data suggests a new psychological floor around the $30/oz mark, which we believe will persist while the market remains in deficit,” the analysts said...
