Why history always rhymes and what it means for BTC in 2026 ✍️
In 1972 Nixon asked Fed Chair Arthur Burns to keep rates loose.
The idea was simple. Keep money easy through the election. But it led to inflation.
By 1974 CPI was at 12.3%. By 1980 it hit 14.8%.
What happened next? Paul Volcker raised the Fed funds rate to 21.5% and broke the economy.
Nixon leaning on Burns caused a decade of monetary chaos.
Will Warsh bow to Trump?
The problem now is that the economy is different.
Volcker could hike to 21% because in 1980 debt-to-GDP was 31%. The economy could survive that kind of pain.
Today's debt-to-GDP is above 100%. Annual interest payments are approaching $1.2 trillion.
A Volcker-style response would make it impossible to pay the interest.
Where we are going. Nobody has enough Bitcoin.
BCP-157 has been massive for me when it comes to recovery. Literally a game changer, I’m not sure if everyone has had the same experience, but wow
I think this will become increasingly popular over the next few years

Why traders should think about funding rates as a countdown 👇
Say you are currently short INFOTECH on Hyperliquid.
You are paying 967% to longs annually.
Price needs to move in your direction 0.88% every 8 hours just to break even on carry.
High negative funding means shorts have a deadline.
At extreme levels, one of two things happens. The move arrives and shorts print. Or the carry cost bleeds shorts, and they become the buyers, squeezing price upwards.
Anyone short INFOTECH has to endure another 8 days for the FOMC meeting.
At $10,000 a day in carry, and assuming the funding rate stays constant (it won't), that is $80,000 in funding before the catalyst arrives.
Direction is one part of a trade. Timing is the other part of the trade.
Most traders are correct on direction but lose money because of timing. As soon as you open a position, the clock starts. And that's why funding rates are like countdowns.
in academia, the easiest way to make a 'breakthrough' is to identify a pattern and package it into a 'theory'
but in using theories you lose all the nuance that's interesting/exciting/leads to real breakthroughs. academia is fucking stupid to the core
@GenuisHealth i used to drink a lot of water in the morning but stopped after reading about how it can dilute stomach acid
been doing it for a few months now and my digestion seems better
never heard ron baron say a smart thing. he's just an elon shill who hit good on tesla. nothing he ever says has any good reasoning, just unfounded numbers and hindsight fallacy
@Jason______A they won't win doing the same old shit
i have a distro system for peptide companies, got our first client 178 clients past 2 weeks at single digit dollars per acq. took 3 oxford ML engineers 5 months to build
UK authorities just seized around 12,000 doses of unlicensed weight-loss drugs, including retatrutide.
As peptide demand grows, so does the incentive for bad actors to enter the market and the industry is growing so fast.
We will see more of this

One thing that surprised me was that I heard researchers have identified over 7,000 naturally occurring peptides in the human body.
The more I learn about peptide signaling, the more biology starts to look like a giant communication network.
