FORMER FINANCE PROFESSOR TAD SMITH: "After 25 years teaching finance, I realized at 58:

If the money printer grows 8-10% annually and the S&P 500 returns ~9%, it’s just treading water. True wealth comes from outpacing the printer.

That’s the #Bitcoin journey." 👏

BTC "CAN NOW BE TRADED THROUGH EVERY MAJOR FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT IN TRADITIONAL MARKETS"

BTC TAKING OVER WALL STREET — NOT PRICED IN 🚀

[Crypto Tice @CryptoTice_]

UNREAL:

Vanguard just bought $680,000,000 of $MSTR.
$12,000,000,000,000 in assets.

The most conservative money on Wall Street.

Not a hedge fund chasing pumps.
Not retail buying hype.

The most boring. Careful.
Long-term money in existence.

Quietly front-running a structural shift.

$MSTR isn't a stock.
It's a Bitcoin proxy.

And when $12,000,000,000,000 in conservative capital starts moving.

You stop watching headlines.
You watch the flows.

The flows just moved.

THE NVIDIA CEO PUBLICLY HUMILIATED SAM ALTMAN OF OPENAI AND DARIO AMODEI OF ANTHROPIC.

HE SAID THESE CEOS HAVE ADOPTED A “GOD COMPLEX” AND KEEP SPREADING THE IDEA THAT AI WILL END JOBS AND DESTROY DEMOCRACY.

HE CALLED ALL OF THAT RIDICULOUS.

[DeLorean Labs @DeLoreanlabs]

Time to get behind the wheel.

The DeLorean Governance Protocol is coming soon! $DMC holders get a direct say in how this ecosystem evolves.

For the first time in automotive history, a global brand is giving its community real power over real decisions. Not a survey. Not a discord poll. On-chain governance where your $DMC is your vote.

Staking. Incentives. Treasury. Upgrades. Product. Technical Integrations. You decide.

Every proposal goes through community discussion, council review, holder vote, and timelock before anything moves. Built to be open. Built to last.

Your voice. Your DeLorean.

This woman just shattered everything I thought I knew about quantum physics in 60 seconds 😱

"Quantum physics isn’t just science, it’s logical spirituality. You don’t attract what you want. You align with what you already are."

Every version of you already exists in the quantum field - The wealthy you, the happy you, the successful you.

"The quantum field doesn’t respond to begging. It responds to certainty."

Your most powerful tool is visualization.

‘Our minds don’t know the difference between imagination and reality.’

Time isn’t linear, you can pull your future into the now & re-code your past.

You are not a person inside the universe.

You ARE the universe experiencing itself through you.

"Go live like the miracle you are.”

[Shadow of Ezra @ShadowofEzra]

The CEO of BlackRock, Larry Fink, admits that the trillions of dollars being used to build data centers and power grids will come from ordinary people’s savings accounts and pension funds, and says it is mandatory.

He says America needs trillions in AI infrastructure spending, and that people will be forced to “invest” in it.

“Much of this will come from savings accounts and pension accounts.”

Elon Musk just put the entire university system on trial.

Not the curriculum. Not the professors. The premise.

Musk: “You don’t need college to learn stuff. Everything is available basically for free. You can learn anything you want for free.”

For a thousand years, universities held one monopoly. Access. You paid the toll or you stayed ignorant.

The internet erased that in a decade.

Every lecture. Every framework. Every textbook. Free. From any screen on Earth.

The six-figure tuition is no longer buying knowledge. It is buying a signal.

Musk: “There is a value that colleges have, which is seeing whether somebody can work hard at something, including a bunch of annoying homework assignments, and still do their homework assignments.”

That is the product. Not intelligence. Not creativity. Not vision. Compliance.

You are paying $200,000 to prove you can tolerate bureaucracy on a schedule.

Musk: “Colleges are basically for fun and to prove you can do your chores. But they’re not for learning.”

The entire system is a sorting machine for corporate HR. It does not measure what you can build. It measures whether you can sit still, follow directions, and deliver on command.

Four years of obedience dressed as education.

Musk: “If you’re trying to do something exceptional, you must have evidence of exceptional ability. I don’t consider going to college evidence of exceptional ability.”

The system optimizes for average. It rewards the compliant. It certifies the patient. It quietly filters out everyone who refuses to wait for permission.

The ones who reshaped the modern world never finished the test.

Musk: “Gates is a pretty smart guy, he dropped out. Jobs is pretty smart, he dropped out. Larry Ellison, smart guy, he dropped out.”

They did not drop out because it was too hard. They dropped out because the speed limit was too low.

The most dangerous thing a university does is convince a generational talent that finishing the syllabus is the achievement.

It is not. It is the floor.

A degree is a receipt for compliance. The future has never belonged to people who finish their homework. It belongs to the on

$164 TRILLION IN BANK ASSETS IS ABOUT TO PICK A CHAIN.

🇺🇸 Raoul Pal: "Once the CLARITY Act passes, all the banks come in and build out crypto rails fast."

Banks never build. They integrate.

1995: banks didn't build the internet. They plugged into TCP/IP.
2010: banks didn't build mobile. They plugged into iOS and Android.
2026: they plug into what already exists.

Tokenization: ONDO. Smart contracts: ETH. Bank integration: Canton. Enterprise rails: HBAR.

The CLARITY Act just opens the door.

Chocolate sold in America is going through 2 changes

Almost our entire candy isle for chocolate in America will be effected by 1 of these 2 new techniques:

- Lab grown chocolate
- Genetically modified chocolate by gene slicing

“California Cultured is the startup company that's growing cocoa cells in a tank. A lot of you asked, is this just one company? No, it's the entire industry”

But wait till you hear what the Mars candy company's doing that's far worse in my view.

Here's what every major player in the chocolate industry's doing right now

- Lindt is investing in lab-grown cocoa
- Mondelez, the maker of Cadbury, Oreos, and Toblerone, is investing in lab-grown cocoa butter
- Barry Callebaut, the world's largest cocoa processor, is investing in cocoa cell culture

Barry Callebaut isn't a name you'd recognize on a wrapper, but they supply chocolate to Hershey and Nestlé under long-term contracts. When they move, half the candy aisle moves with them”

Here’s where things get really scary

“Mars, the makers of M&M's, Snickers, Dove, Twix, Milky Way, Mars Bars, and Three Musketeers, among others, is doing something completely different. And this is cause for alarm in my opinion.

— Mars partnered with a lab at UC Berkeley where CRISPR, the gene editing technology, was developed. They're going to modify the cacao tree's genetic structure by clipping out certain genes to make them more resistant to disease and drought tolerant.

This is Frankenfood. Genetically modified Frankenfood

Here’s why they are doing this

Global chocolate demand's rising about 3% every year. At the same time, 70% of the world's cocoa comes from West Africa, and West Africa is getting hammered by droughts, higher temperatures, and a nasty virus

Pests and diseases cause yearly losses of about 30 to 40% of the total global cocoa production

So major companies have decided to grow it in a lab or genetically modify the trees

The question is whether the solutions they've chosen are proportionate to the risk

I’d say no, absolutely not. We all know the second these things are done they will start selling it to us with no long term safety studies and no idea how it will effect our health

It’s coming so be warned

[JayGen 𝕏 er🇨🇦 @JayGenXer]

🚨 This is what straight talk sounds like — two guys (Stephen LeDrew & Dan McTeague @GasPriceWizard ) who actually get it dropping truth bombs on Canada’s death spiral.

⛔️ Net zero?

Carbon taxes on every single industry, jacked up again and again.

Construction? Trades? Dead unless you’ve got a government sinecure.

Young Canadians are packing up and heading to the USA because they can’t afford to stay here.

One of them nails it:
“We pushed net zero so hard… demonized a life-saving molecule called CO₂… all to virtue-signal we can change the weather. It’s false science and terrible politics.”

And Carney?

The “smart banker” who screwed up Britain is just the next chapter of the same Liberal disaster. Media’s already running cover, but the tent cities and food banks don’t lie.

Canadians voted for this three times. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Now they’re hoping the fourth time is different?
Wake the hell up.

This economy isn’t “transitioning” — it’s collapsing.

And Carney’s net-zero religion is the wrecking ball.

Drop a 🔥 if you’re done watching Canada get destroyed by ideology.

🚨 THE NEXT 72 HOURS. DAY BY DAY. BOOKMARK THIS.

📅 TODAY — May 13
→ Air Force One lands in Beijing with 12+ named CEOs aboard — Tesla, Nvidia, Apple, BlackRock, Boeing, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, GE, Qualcomm, Micron, Blackstone, Cargill
→ Jensen Huang boarded during the Alaska refueling stop — last-minute addition
→ Trump confirms "many other" undisclosed CEOs also on the plane
→ The largest corporate delegation ever to accompany a sitting U.S. president touches down in China

📅 MAY 14 — Day 1 of Summit
→ Trump and Xi sit down for formal talks
→ The ask: Xi opens China's market to U.S. business — directly, officially, on camera
→ 12+ of the most powerful CEOs in the world are in the room or the building
→ Combined market cap of companies represented: over $10,000,000,000,000

📅 MAY 15 — Day 2 / Outcomes
→ Deal announcements expected — or silence that speaks louder
→ Every CEO on that plane needs something specific from Beijing: chip licenses, manufacturing access, supply chain agreements, financial market entry
→ If Xi says yes to even half of it, the trade war framework changes overnight
→ If Xi says no, 12 CEOs flew to China for nothing — and markets will price that immediately

72 hours. Every step has precedent. Every prediction has math.

Nothing like this has ever happened in the history of U.S.-China relations.

The outcome of this trip will move markets more than any Fed meeting this year.

Bookmark this. Come back May 15.

if you're not following me you're finding out about this 48 hours late from someone who read my post..

[Dustin @r0ck3t23]

Larry Ellison just compressed the next decade into a single sentence.

“The smartest people I know are investing fortunes. To be specific, they are investing their fortunes in building and training these AI models.”

Not company capital.

Their fortunes. Personal wealth.

Corporate investment is strategy. You allocate, hedge, diversify.

Personal wealth is conviction.

That’s someone staring at the world where they built their entire fortune and deciding it has an expiration date.

Think about who he’s talking about.

Not venture capitalists fishing for 10x returns.

People who already have more money than they could spend across ten lifetimes.

Zero financial incentive to take risk.

And they’re making the largest bets of their entire careers.

Ellison: “That’s how important they are. That’s how extraordinary they are.”

He doesn’t reach for that word.

This is a man who built Oracle across five decades. Went to war with IBM, Microsoft, SAP, and Salesforce. Survived every crash, every hype cycle, every false revolution since the 1970s.

He’s buried more hype cycles than most founders have survived.

And he’s telling you this one broke the pattern.

In every bubble in history, the smart money leaves first.

They spot the cracks. Sell quietly. Let everyone else hold the bag.

That’s not what’s happening here.

The smart money is accelerating.

Data centers that cost more than some nations’ annual budgets. Power contracts locked for two decades. Every available GPU on Earth spoken for.

These are not the moves of people riding momentum.

These are the moves of people who saw what’s coming and decided the only risk is moving too slowly.

In every genuine technological shift, there’s a moment where the gap between what insiders know and what the public understands becomes so wide it stops being an information gap.

It becomes two separate realities running on two different timelines.

The people with the most access, the most information, and the most to lose. They’re moving like the entire economic operating system of civilization is being rewritten in real time.

And most people still think this is about chatbots.

That gap is the signal.

Not the benchmarks. Not the product demos. Not the funding rounds.

The behavior of people who already won and decided winning wasn’t enough.

Larry Ellison is 81 years old.

Worth over $200 billion.

Built one of the most dominant software empires in the history of computing.

And he’s moving like a man who just realized none of it will matter unless he gets this right.
