"Same Same But Different" is an essay on why you should back up the truck and buy crypto with both hands.

"Bad Gurl Yellen and Buffalo Bill Bessent are the same whether their rhetoric before taking office differed. They both suffered under the yoke of politicians who couldn’t help themselves but to spend more and more money on whatever nonsense they deemed worthy. But they both decided being the most powerful financier in all the land was worth it. And therefore, when the treasury market convulsed, they responded with clever money printing stratagem.

When they manipulate the treasury market by printing money to cap yields, it creates dollar liquidity which flows into Bitcoin and crypto. I will cover two such episodes where Yellen and Bessent changed the game, and Bitcoin responded positively. The first episode was in late 2023 when Yellen issued more bills than bonds. The second episode is right now when Bessent intervened in the dollar-yen market and then upped treasury buy back notional. Bitcoin ripped off its lows after Yellen announced her money printing scheme, and I argue it will do the same after Bessent reestablished his conviction to follow in his predecessors’ footsteps and materially increase the pace of dollar liquidity creation."

I’m seeing bearish divergence with overbought RSI across the board.

Reasonable time for a healthy retrace and reload for an eventual push higher.

🚨 AN AMERICAN IN TOKYO SHOWED HER MONTHLY BILLS — AMERICANS ARE HAVING A MELTDOWN

A student living in Tokyo just posted her total bills for the month and the comments section is pure chaos.

Electric + gas (AC running nonstop in the summer heat): ¥8,218
Water: ¥1,232
Health insurance: ¥830
Phone (unlimited): ¥4,075
Amazon Prime + YouTube Premium + Netflix: a few thousand more

Grand total: ¥15,941 — roughly $100.

Americans are staring at the numbers in disbelief.

The same basic utilities and subscriptions in the U.S. regularly cost three or four times that. Even with Tokyo’s minimum wage factored in, people are saying the comparison is brutal.

Would you move across the world if it meant your monthly bills looked like this… or is the U.S. cost of living just completely broken?

BUAT YANG BERENCANA LIBURAN KE KORSEL ESPECIALLY JEJU, PLS BACA INI!!!

jadi di jeju itu ternyata banyak banget kasus orang hilang dan kasus pembunvhan tapi beritanya disembunyikan, tau-tau ketemu m4yatnya aja ☠️

OP ini cerita: dulu waktu liburan ke jeju, dia makan ke restoran daging terkenal. pas mau pulang, tiba-tiba pemilik resto (ibu-ibu) itu melarang OP buat pulang jalan kaki dan maksa OP untuk naik mobilnya aja

karena nggak enak, OP akhirnya jadi nebeng di mobil pemilik resto itu. selama diperjalanan, pemilik resto cerita kalau di area tsb sudah banyak orang hilang, pokoknya banyak banget kasus orang hilang/pembunvhan, tapi berita itu ditutupi/disembunyikan

pemilik resto juga ngasih tau kl yang hilang itu semuanya pasti wisatawan/turis, soalnya kan keliatan bgt kl mereka turis, jadi emang sengaja “diincar”

pemilik resto itu jg nyaranin better naik taxi, meskipun jarak ke penginapan itu dekat. terus quote RT dari tweet ini juga banyak bgt yang nyaranin untuk bawa mobil sendiri, soalnya emang se bahaya itu

one of the coolest parts about the zcash momentum

roman storm, who is facing serious jail time for writing privacy code, had majority of his donations in zcash

and now he has many more resources to fight this

I noticed it’s insecure people with a craving for power or authority, who will try to minimize you, humble you, or attempt to dim your light. Stand up tall and fix your posture. You’re allowed to disagree with people and not be disrespected, demeaned and diminished. People who care about status and control, tend to despise and/or are jealous of intelligent, articulate, outspoken thinkers. Remain graceful and don’t be manipulated. Never shrink. Make eye contact and ask questions. Take up space.

There is a japanese legend that says:

If you miss the bus, maybe you avoided the accident. If you got rejected, maybe you were saved from the wrong place. If they left, maybe they made room for who is coming.

The universe protects you in ways that look like bad luck at first. Trust the detour.

JUST IN: RFK Jr. says Tylenol isn’t just linked to autism—but also ADHD and liver toxicity in kids.
So why is Tylenol still on store shelves while Ivermectin isn’t?

“Because Big Pharma owns our politicians,” RFK Jr. says. “And I’m telling them to get lost.”

Markets got me off the beach. :)

Nice move by #Bitcoin and crypto. Similar moves in metals. Obviously a lot of short covering off a 2 month consolidation, but bullish nonetheless.

Little more work to do before a bear market bottom can be confirmed, and a new 4Yr cycle start. Closing out the month strong above (10 month MA) $74k first step, then a weekly close above the $82.8k highs swings the high TF trends back to bullish.

Either way, very close now. Excited to get back to the desk in Sept.

DOCTORS ARE LITERALLY MANUFACTURING ALZHEIMER’S

Dr. Joel Wallach: “Alzheimer’s is a PHYSICIAN-CAUSED disease.”

Your brain is 75% myelin insulation. And myelin is 100% cholesterol.

Statins shred that cholesterol — stealing 75% of what your brain desperately needs to stay insulated and functional.

No myelin = no brain.
That’s why Alzheimer’s went from virtually unknown to the 4th leading killer over age 65.

They told you to lower your cholesterol…
while your brain was starving for it.

This isn’t “aging.”
This is medical malpractice on a massive scale.

Stop letting them dissolve your brain. Do your own research and stop the statins. Protect your myelin.

. @mert makes the case that $ZEC hitting just 10% of Bitcoin's market cap sends the price to $4,000

"People like to say Zcash a good comparable or a good target is 10% of Bitcoin. Currently it's nowhere near that. @Zcash is smaller than $Doge, smaller than $Tron, smaller than pretty much anything in the top ten. I think that 10% is a very conservative target"

"Why would you not want your Bitcoin to be private? What do you gain by simply not having the option to shield your funds? It's strictly inferior, technologically speaking. If a coin has history then it's not fungible. It can be frozen, see the Canadian truckers, or you can just surveil where it goes forever"

"Currently it's at about a 6 to 7 billion market cap, around 450 in price. Bitcoin's at 1.5 trillion. So 10% for Zcash would be about 70 billion, which would mean around 4,000. If you look at the market cap of what's above it and how small it is, I think it's pretty undervalued"

How I see it's playing out

[mert @mert]

ZEC is still tiny in mcap

especially given it's quantum resistant encrypted money with even more quantum, performance, and security upgrades by EOY

and that hashpower, talent, and activity keeps increasing

not to mention client diversity and 8y of PoW distribution
