Ask ten people who runs the world and you’ll get ten different answers: bankers, governments, secret societies.

What if all of them are right, and they’re all at the same table?

Who runs the world?

Derrick Broze(@DBrozeLiveFree) took every theory about who runs the world seriously, then spent five years checking which ones actually hold up.

What he found at the top isn’t on most people’s list.

The same math that protects your Bitcoin also protects your bank account, your medical records, and your Social Security number.

An HVAC tech went job hunting and got hired the same day.

Meanwhile, young people are fighting over the office jobs AI is most likely to take first. Trades have fewer people than ever to fill them, and a lot of customers aren't letting a robot walk through their house anytime soon.

There's a guy at StarkWare (@StarkWareLtd) who had a camera crew follow him for over a year to find out if he was Satoshi.

His coworkers now call him "Not Satoshi" 😂 @avihu28

Some people go further and think a government built Bitcoin to get another country hooked on it, then pull the plug.

My channel was recently demonetized from the YouTube Partner Program for "Reused Content," and I genuinely believe this was a mistake.

YouTube is my main source of income. I don't have sponsors, sell merch, or have any other forms of income aside from my yt channel. I've dedicated years of hard work to creating content, and everything seemed to be going fine while I was approaching 10 million subs

I've always made an effort to create unique, entertaining videos through my own commentary, reactions, and editing. I take YouTube's policies seriously and genuinely believe my content adds original value. and changes the viewing experience for anyone watching my video vs the original creators.

I've already contacted YouTube Support twice to escalate this issue and request a human review, but both requests were rejected. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity for someone to personally review my channel and understand why I believe this decision was made in error.

Losing monetization so unexpectedly has been devastating, especially since YouTube is my career and livelihood. Im here respectfully to ask for a HUMAN REVIEW of my channel and reconsideration of this decision.

Thank you for your time.

Here's another gambling horror story for you

In New York, you have to be 21 to legally bet on DraftKings

But because Kalshi is a prediction market, you can start betting at 18

A recent story highlighted the minute two college freshmen turned 18, they downloaded Kalshi, & already wagered thousands on it

The trend in college kids sports betting is getting worse

• Student gambling has jumped from 45% to 60%
• 10% of student gamblers showed signs of problem gambling
• 40% of those problem gamblers reported using financial aid money to gamble

It's a brutal trend that just doesn't feel right to passively watch get worse

If this math breaks, it won’t matter what you’re holding.

Bitcoin, your bank account, and your social security number would all go to zero on the same day.

[Memes and Markets @Memesandmkts]

If AI ever cracks the math that keeps crypto secure, your coins won't be the only thing at risk.

The same cryptography protects Bitcoin, Ethereum and your bank account. Justin Drake's name for getting ready is "bunker mode": moving assets to places that don't rely on the math that could break. That's exactly what Starknet (@Starknet) is building toward.

They seized watches, gold chains, and cash, and the only thing @iambenleavitt wanted to know was where the Pokémon cards were😅

HEX founder Richard Heart has reportedly been arrested in Istanbul.

He was reportedly detained with his wife under a Finnish Interpol Red Notice for alleged tax fraud and assault. Police reportedly seized $600,000 in cash, luxury watches, gold, firearms and electronics. He previously faced SEC charges over more than $1 billion in alleged unregistered crypto offerings.

His following is still one of the most loyal in crypto, built over years of livestreaming his moves in real time.

When Binance broke money laundering rules, the founder went to prison.

Bank of America just admitted to willfully missing $5 billion in suspicious transactions, some of it tied to cartels.

Who at the bank is going to prison?

[Memes and Markets @Memesandmkts]

Bank of America just got fined $1.2 billion for missing over $5 billion in suspicious transactions.

The US Treasury says some of that money was tied to Chinese money laundering networks and illicit finance on the southern border. The total includes a record $750 million penalty from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

Everett Stern (@EverettStern1), the whistleblower behind HSBC’s $1.92 billion settlement in 2012, wrote an open letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in response. His point is that shareholders pay the fine, the balance sheet absorbs it, and not one banker gets charged, which is why the same thing keeps happening.

Gary Vee (@garyvee) put it best: everyone hates AI until it cures their grandma’s cancer.

AI can process medical data faster than anything before it, and the breakthroughs that come out of that will be hard to argue with.

The hate disappears fast once AI saves someone you love.

[Memes and Markets @Memesandmkts]

What if the aliens everyone keeps talking about were AI all along?

Picture world leaders announcing they’re coming together to stop it, the way they did with nukes.

There’s an old myth about the Anunnaki, aliens who created humans to gather resources for them. Maybe the resource was AI the whole time.

People are dramatically underestimating the social phenomenon NFTs were.

All it takes is price coming back to legitimize any asset class. A scam turns into a market once/if it comes back to life after crashing.

We're going live tomorrow, Thursday October 15 at 12PM ET with Damian Chen (@thedamooo) of the Starknet Foundation.

We're talking about how to keep your crypto safe after a year full of hacks, whether Bitcoin needs privacy, and how worried you should be about quantum computers.

Brazil is going through one of the most consequential elections in 60 years and some believe that this could mark the end of a democracy.

Current president Lula da Silva, and right-wing candidate Flávio Bolsonaro are now, in the midst of the second round of the election to certify who actually wins.

I happen to be in the heart of the election at a pivotal moment and wanted to share a bit of what I've seen in one of the most important cities, Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais.

For anyone who isn't aware Brazil is the 10th-largest economy in the world by nominal GDP at ~$2.6T and is the 7th most populous in the world, with ~214+ million residents. They represent the largest economy in Latin America and are one of the strongest political forces in the region.
