Narrator: and if they did exactly that, no one should be surprised b/c that is the obvious maximization path for BTC/share

Top tier comedy would be $MSTR selling 46,000 $BTC at a VWAP of $66,000, extending the $STRC runway to two years and realizing a massive tax loss, while simultaneously selling $2.5B of common stock and purchasing 50,000 $BTC at a VWAP of $60,000.

🚨🇺🇸BREAKING: The CIA officer caught with $40 million in gold bars allegedly invented an entire fake top-secret spy program to steal the money.

As if this story couldn't get and wilder:

-David Rush allegedly built a sham "special access program," the blackest box in U.S. intelligence, so secret even top-clearance officials couldn't look inside without authorization

-The fake program posed as "continuity of government" work, the doomsday planning that keeps Washington running after a nuclear war

-He allegedly read in two colleagues as unwitting accomplices and used a made-up government contract to funnel millions, persuading a defense contractor to buy huge amounts of gold

-The FBI raid on his home seized 303 gold bars worth roughly $40 million, $2 million in cash, and 35 luxury watches

-Investigators say he lied about his college degrees, faked being a Navy pilot, and still sailed through the CIA's notoriously brutal vetting

-A judge ordered him held as a flight risk, and several CIA officials are now on leave as the probe widens

The scheme worked because of the system, not in spite of it.

The secrecy walls built to hide operations from China and Russia hid the fraud from the CIA itself.

A man with a fake résumé ran a fake doomsday program inside the most paranoid institution in America, and for years nobody noticed...

Imagine spending your whole life becoming an academic expert. Then a random guy online tells you that you are wrong about your own field. And he's right. But you can never admit that. Because it would mean admitting that your life was a lie. That is the dilemma of many academics.

[Kyle Olney @KyleOlney]

@MartyBent It's even more basic than that for large orgs actually. It's the classic agent <> principle problem present in all R+D programs, just on steriods.

Boards/CEOs don't understand the tech > demand adoption/strategy > dont realize what this actually entails > blows out budgets/time

@coinjoined @Tiefseher @Strategy @saylor FTR - this is exactly what they are doing because that is the game they have to play in order to be the bridge between TradFi × BTC native rails

Clearly they must comply with whatever requirements are placed on them by mkt regulators in attempt to max TAM / min capital costs

[Kyle Olney @KyleOlney]

@coinjoined @josef21m @Strategy @saylor 🎯 - people who are critiquing this model are mostly outing themselves as people who do not understand how the rest of the credit/insurance markets actually function

You can critique whether the model is intelligent or not, but it's better architected than ~98% of the market

Stripping the BRCA from Clarity would not make the bill tougher on industry.

It would not address ethics concerns.

All it would achieve is hurting open source developers.

California voted 63 percent to ban this. Massachusetts voted 78 percent. The industry sued and lost at the Supreme Court.

So they slipped a provision into the House farm bill to void both votes and block every future state from trying. One lobbying campaign undoing two supermajority referendums.

The largest beneficiary is Smithfield - owned by a Chinese company. Congress is being asked to override American voters to protect a Chinese corporation's factory farming practices.

84 percent of Americans called this unacceptable in polling. The Senate gets to decide if that number means anything.

AI companies would have better public support if ordinary US citizens were able to invest in the upside of generational businesses that threaten their livelihoods instead of being given the opportunity to enter at a frothy $1 trillion+ valuation that mints billions for VCs

This is a Nobel prize winning economist saying out loud, unironically, that global supply chains + logistics weren't even important enough to be mentioned in his "bestselling international economics textbook"

Around $3 Trillion dollars were laundered through banks in 2025 and they want you to believe that a bill in Congress that clearly applies AML/BSA obligations to crypto exchanges is somehow the problem. Literally nonsense.

This video is PEAK comedy gold. I felt this in my SOUL. 😂

“Can’t stand these fckn bicyclists” — my brother, you just narrated my morning commute.

He nails it: Grown-ass men in skin-tight neon spandex outfits looking like a pack of radioactive Power Rangers, riding three-wide like it’s the Peloton Championships on a residential road. No one’s handing out medals at the cul-de-sac, Kyle. You’re not transporting a heart for surgery. You’re just expensive, slow-moving road geese with $10k carbon fiber attitudes.

One? Fine. Eight? That’s a tactical formation. That’s how civilizations fall.

I’m honking, I’m crying, I’m in agreement. Save us from the Lycra Legion. He nails every reason I can’t stand the bicycle militia.
