@AnonAthlete26 Sports pays all about supply and demand economics. I never understood why people complain about high salaries being paid. These people are the best the best at what they do and people pay good money to see them. The demand is there. You may be good at what you do, but supply?
@TripleDTrader@newby122 I sold some as well but thinking of buying it back and then some. Q2 revenue exceeded all previous entires year’s earnings. Forward PE 11
Venezuela Just Proved the Bitcoin Bull Case, And No One Is Paying Attention
Maduro used Tether to move 80% of Venezuela's oil revenue. Billions in sanctions evasion, settled on Tron since 2020.
Then the US made a phone call.
Tether froze the wallets.
Game over.
Everyone's focused on the arrest. The real story is the lesson every finance minister on earth just learned in real time:
Stable coins are a leash, not an escape.
If someone can freeze it, it isn't money. It doesn't solve sovereignty.
First principles:
USDT is dollar plumbing without SWIFT. Faster. Cheaper. Still has a CEO. Still has a compliance department. Still picks up when Washington calls.
This is why USDT adoption exploded, 71-year-old grandmothers in Caracas pay their HOA fees in tether now. But useful ≠ sovereign.
The entire value proposition for sanctions evasion just got publicly falsified.
Now do the game theory:
You're Iran. Russia. Any country hedging against dollar weaponization. You just watched Venezuela's "crypto solution" get shut off like a light switch.
Where do you put reserves now?
USDT? Compromised.
Yuan? Political strings.
Gold? Try settling $500M across borders in 10 minutes.
CBDCs? Same kill switch, government branding.
There's exactly one asset that clears final settlement without asking permission from anyone.
21 million units. No CEO. No freeze function. No phone number.
This is the ad Bitcoin never had to buy.
The most desperate, highest-stakes capital on earth just learned there's only one door.
Price doesn't reflect it yet.
It will.
@TaraBull I didn’t realize he was a doctor! This is a very common condition that we see in Emergency rooms. Instantly recognizable by the unhinged, loud vomiting. That being said alcohol causes so many more medical issues than marijuana. It’s not even comparable.
🚨 Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet. We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable
We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening, the fraud must be stopped.
@MarioNawfal I think most of healthcare is still shielded for Robotics. People do not want a robot doctor, because what if you disagree with it’s assesment and plan. Appendicitis often presents vaguely in the beginning then progresses to more localizing symptoms. Bad example of AI med!
@mikealfred Outlandish claims like that hurt your credibility. There is no world where that’s possible; Strategy’s Target is 150,000. I’m starting to wonder if that’s reachable. Bitcoin will get to 1 million, it’s inevitable, but it’s not gonna be this year. I’m in it for the long haul
Once you start believing that someone who disagrees with you is evil, violence against that person can seem like justice.
It makes you lose all perspective.
We all have strong opinions, but you can’t let yourself hate. When I pray to God, I ask Him not to let me hate.
@willywoo@grok There’s a little bit of echo chamber affect the more you talk to the AI. Read an article in the WSJ the other day about this phenomenon, quite interesting.
