3️⃣ Recommendations:

👉 No outright ban on cryptocurrencies due to their borderless nature.

👉 Enforcing complete bans is challenging and can lead to spillover effects.

👉 Instead, licensing of #crypto service providers is suggested.

👉 Countries should implement FATF's anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing standards for virtual assets.

In a lively kindergarten filled with laughter, excitement, and the occasional mishap, I, Chan, spent my days alongside my dear little sister, Lily. We shared everything, from our midday snacks to our crayons. Life was simple and filled with joy until Wong entered our lives.
Wong was a bigger boy in our kindergarten, and he had a mean streak that often landed him in trouble. His latest target was my sister, Lily. I noticed her usual sunshine-like demeanor had dimmed, and when I asked her why, she revealed Wong's tormenting ways. It was a terrible feeling, knowing that my sister was being hurt. I decided to step up, to protect her from Wong.
Gathering my courage, I approached our teacher, Miss Clara, the following day. I remember feeling a rush of nerves as I spoke, but I managed to tell her about Wong's bullying. She seemed stern, promising to take care of the situation. I felt a sense of relief wash over me, believing that Wong would finally be put in his place.
However, things didn't go as smoothly as I had imagined. Miss Clara confronted Wong in front of the entire class. I watched from my seat as Wong argued back, and suddenly, he fell, hurting himself. The room fell into a stunned silence. Wong, through his tears, accused me of orchestrating the entire incident, claiming I set him up to be punished and hurt.
Suddenly, I found myself at the center of the room, with all eyes on me. Accusations flew, whispers echoed, and before I knew it, Miss Clara's anger was directed towards me. Despite my protests, I was punished, made to sit facing the wall in the corner of the room. I could feel the heavy silence in the room and the gazes of my classmates boring into my back.
The incident marked a change in my kindergarten life. I was treated like an outcast, my peers believing Wong's twisted tale. It was a harsh reality to face, knowing that I was being unfairly treated for trying to protect my sister. But I held on, refusing to let the situation break me.
Days turned into weeks, and the isolation continued. It was a lonely experience, but it taught me the importance of resilience. I found solace in the knowledge that I had done nothing wrong. I had only tried to protect my sister, and I would do it again if needed.
Just when I thought things would never change, Lily spoke up. She gathered her courage and revealed the truth to Miss Clara and our classmates. She told them about Wong's bullying and how I was only trying to protect her. It was a proud moment for me, seeing my sister stand up for what was right.
Miss Clara apologized for her unjust punishment, and so did my classmates. Wong was finally given a proper punishment, and I was vindicated. It was a bitter-sweet victory. I had faced unjust treatment, but in the end, the truth prevailed.
From then on, my kindergarten life returned to normal. I was no longer an outcast but a hero in my classmates' eyes. Despite the hardships, I realized that standing up for what is right, even when faced with adversity, is the most important lesson I learned in kindergarten.

Noteworthy also is that China is massively expanding its own farming sector to reduce its food reliance on other countries.

De-globalization is being expedited by all of the geopolitical tensions & the rapidly approaching global financial crisis. There is every chance we could see hyper-inflation or hyper-deflation (two sides of the same coin) in many countries soon, which will impact food prices & food security massively. Some countries have already stopped exporting their food, instead stockpiling for their own future food security.

All of this is certainly terrible timing for the West with the WEF massively interfering with our farming & closing down THOUSANDS of farms throughout the West. If this continues it could have disastrous consequences for the food security of many Western countries in the not too distant future, most markedly those countries which rely heavily on imported food, like America.

@GUnderground_TV I was wondering about the extent of continued British looting in Africa.
All I could find was this report from @WarOnWant from 2016, listing mining companies from London Stock Exchange.
It appears considerable, especially from the map included in report.

The Berlin Conference of 1884 divided Africa between the European empires, green-lighting rampant imperialism and genocide. As popular military rebellions devastate France’s neo-colonial grip on Africa, a reminder of how African resources were divided among colonial powers to build up the capitals of Europe, while Africa was kept in poverty, depravation and colonial domination.

Yesterday was a wild day. Wed I sold the rip during Powell's presser via $SPY puts, but when I ran the numbers Wed evening, they came back bullish (as posted) so I had to buy a ton of $NQ futures to avoid getting f*cked Thurs. The market opened way higher than I expected so I sold my long $NQ position on the open and flipped to short. Closed all positions by end of day. I thought the YCC news was an overreaction because it wasn't really new, so I did not hold shorts for Friday (I don't care about the candle stuff).

So where are we now? Really nothing new since my last post. 5 Day Risk Model green and $VIX model bearish on vol. I did accidentally hard code a number in my VIX model that screwed the model for Thurs and lowered the 5 Day Risk Model (corrected now). $SPY whale activity was bullish today.

The best book I’ve ever read, and yet I feel like I’ve only touched the surface.

I will reread this book every year so that I can continue to learn from it.

It’s jam packed with incredible knowledge.

Thanks @DavidDeutschOxf for writing this and @naval for recommending it.
