Do you believe that?

A. Yes B. No

[War Correspondent @warDaniel47]

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. California gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton's DOGE team just found that TAXPAYER DOLLARS are funding illegal aliens to campaign for Democrat candidate Xavier Becerra — "in violation of federal law"

This is a BOMBSHELL!

"Taxpayer-funded non-profit CHIRLA endorsed Becerra April 13th. Our investigation reveals payments to illegal immigrants for campaign activity."

"CHIRLA, a taxpayer-funded organization, said that it will be working to do everything it can to elect Javier Becerra governor."

"In other reports that we have found at CalDoge we have looked in detail at how CHIRLA conducts these political activities."

"Listed on their document is the statement that CHIRLA uses illegal immigrants to carry out political activity."

"In other words, to be very clear, California taxpayers are funding an organization that uses illegal immigrants to campaign for Javier Becerra."

"This is not just unacceptable and unethical and outrageous, a theft of taxpayer money for political purposes. It is illegal."

🚨 DOLLAR FUNDED CARRY TRADES JUST HIT THEIR LONGEST WINNING STREAK SINCE BEFORE THE 2008 CRASH.

The trade is simple.

Borrow cheaply in dollars, invest in high yielding currencies like the Colombian peso, Turkish lira and Brazilian real, and collect the difference.

Since the end of 2024 this trade has returned 22%, compared to just 5.9% for US Treasuries.

Over the past 12 months alone, returns hit 48% in Colombian pesos, 23% in Turkish lira and 21% in Brazilian reais.

The weakening dollar is amplifying every gain.

As the dollar falls, returns in other currencies go up automatically.

The risk is that this trade is dangerously overcrowded.

The 2008 financial crisis, the 2013 taper tantrum and the August 2024 yen unwind all followed the same pattern.

Years of slow gains wiped out in days when volatility spikes.

[𝚃𝚒𝚖𝚎 𝚃𝚛𝚊𝚟𝚎𝚕𝚎𝚛 @TheTimeTraveler]

The Clarity Act passed on September 15, 2026, and the world didn't notice at first. Then it did. Within a week, every major bank filed for a digital asset charter. Within a month, payroll systems settled in XRP. Within a quarter, the asset sat in every 401(k) on the planet.

Jim bought 3,000 tokens on September 19 at $0.62 each. Total cost: $1,860. He bought them because a post said to, and the post had a blue checkmark, and Jim trusted blue checkmarks the way other people trust weather reports.

By October 1, the price was $4.20. His stack was worth $12,600. He checked the app twice a day, then four times, then every red light. By November, $18.50. By December, $47. He'd never seen a number like that attached to his name. He sat in his truck in the warehouse parking lot and stared at the screen until the battery died.

January 2027 brought the first real cascade. $120 on a Monday. $310 on a Wednesday. $890 by Friday. His 3,000 tokens were now worth $2,670,000. He hadn't sold a single one. He didn't know how. He didn't know if he should. He didn't know anyone who knew.

The pumps kept coming. February: $1,400. March: $2,100. April: $3,400. Each new high came with a new headline — XRP Surpasses Gold, Clarity Act Triggers Global Settlement Revolution, Why Every Central Bank Is Quietly Accumulating. Jim read them all. He believed them all. He had no reason not to.

By the end of 2027, the price was $6,800. His stack was worth $20,400,000. He was a multi-millionaire twenty times over, and he still drove the same truck, still worked the same shift, still ate the same gas station burrito at 6 AM because he hadn't figured out what else to do with a Tuesday.

2028 was the year the institutions arrived. Sovereign wealth funds. Pension systems. Insurance companies. The price went from $6,800 to $14,000 by June, then $22,000 by September, then $31,000 by December. His stack was now worth $93,000,000. Ninety-three million dollars. For 3,000 tokens he bought because a post told him to.

Strangers started messaging him. Deals. Partnerships. Opportunities. One man offered to double his money in 30 days with a proprietary trading algorithm. Another offered to build him a yacht. A third offered to manage his entire portfolio for a 2% fee — which sounded reasonable until Jim realized 2% of $93 million was $1.86 million a year for doing nothing Jim understood. He said no to all of them. Not because he was smart. Because he was scared. Scared of losing it, scared of keeping it, scared of the number itself. The number had become a thing that lived in his chest, heavy and warm and wrong, like a stone he'd swallowed.

2029 was the year the price stopped being a number and started being a force. $50,000 in March. $78,000 in July. $112,000 in November. His stack was worth $336,000,000. He had a net worth exceeding the GDP of several small nations, and he still didn't know what a basis point was.

The cascade continued into 2030. $150,000. $210,000. $280,000. By August, the price was $340,000 per token. His 3,000 tokens were worth $1,020,000,000. One billion dollars. He had crossed into a territory with no map, no precedent, no instruction manual. A billionaire who had never read a financial statement, never hired a lawyer, never told a single soul the truth about what he held. And he still didn't know what to do.

The Clarity Act had promised clarity. It had delivered a cascade — five years of uninterrupted pumps, five years of headlines, five years of strangers with offers and algorithms and yachts. It had delivered Jim a fortune so large it had become a kind of prison, a number so big it had erased the man who held it.

He sat in his truck on the morning of September 15, 2031 — exactly five years to the day the Act passed — and looked at the screen. $340,000. 3,000 tokens. $1,020,000,000. He had everything the post had promised and none of the tools to hold it. The cascade had made him rich. It had not made him ready.

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: Russian officials have briefed Iran that the CIA Director Ratcliffe's Moscow visit delivered a message with the US asking Moscow to press Iran into reopening the Strait of Hormuz, warning that Russian entities would otherwise face designations under Operation Economic Outcast. Russia declined, and told Iran the threatened measures were of limited consequence, according to two senior Iranian sources with knowledge of the briefing.

The message also warned that Russian banks, traders and shipping entities tied to Iranian oil, gold and aviation will be sanctioned under the operation unless Moscow moves to close those channels.

[Insider Paper @TheInsiderPaper]

The United Nations and Red Cross warned Tuesday the world is “dangerously close” to a future where autonomous weapons — so-called “killer robots” — could target humans, and issued an urgent appeal for international regulations.

[Jack Prescott @JackPrescottX]

My interest in Chainlink pretty much comes down to this:

Tokenization of RWA is coming. I believe it’s going to be big. CEO of Blackrock Larry Fink says “We believe the next step going forward will be the tokenization of financial assets and that means every stock, every bond... will be on one general ledger.”. I assume that’s only just the beginning.

My high level understanding is that Chainlink spent years building the infrastructure that lets advanced smart contracts actually function for institutions as the orchestration layer for tokenization. And it seems like they have a sort of monopoly on this, or at least the groundwork for one.

“Today, Chainlink powers approximately 70% of the global DeFi market, including 80% of Ethereum DeFi and 90% of DeFi on leading layer-2 networks. Chainlink has enabled tens of trillions of dollars in transaction value, including trillions of dollars in deposits and borrows for lending platforms like Aave.”

It also seems to me like AI agents will need some sort of blockchain infrastructure like this to participate in the economy: https://t.co/U0tpaMFlGQ

When I think of crypto, I think of BS like Bitcoin, which IMO does nothing. NFTs, which are pump and dump BS, etc. Chainlink is a tech company that built sophisticated infrastructure. The only way you can own it is though the $LINK token. Because the crypto space has this stigma around it (rightfully so), I think Chainlink is likely overlooked by many.

Looks like there’s debate in the crypto world about how value will actually flow through to $LINK holders. I really don’t care. My belief is that if trillions of dollars of value start flowing through Chainlink infrastructure, value will flow through to Link. To use Chainlink services, you either need the link token or can pay Chainlink with fiat money or some other currency, in which Chainlink will then use that money to buy back $LINK. Pretty sure Sergey and other link employees own a lot of Link.. the incentive is there to drive value.

This will be a big shift in how finance operates and it looks to me like Chainlink will be at the center powering it.

So to summarize it, I see change coming and believe Chainlink is positioned well. I think that if the bull case plays out, the value of $LINK will be so high that even a small allocation could produce significant returns. It’s a little over 1% of my portfolio today. I’ll look to buy more over time and maybe bump it up a few %.

The asymmetry I see here helps me hedge for my ignorance. In the big picture, I understand nothing. I never thought I’d ever buy “crypto” but this just feels right to me. So I allocate a very small % and if I’m wrong, I don’t lose much. If I win, I win big. What does “win big” look like? Idk how to price this company. But I think $LINK would be worth much more than the $8B it’s priced at today.

I don’t plan on writing about this a whole lot from here on out. There’s a lot of heavy hitters who write about Chainlink and are infinitely more knowledgeable than I am… Look to them if you’re interested.

Just wanted to share my thoughts and be transparent about what I’m thinking. Will be fun to look back on in 5-10 years. Let’s see if my intuition is right.
