@SimonDixonTwitt Thoughts on Garys Economics? - huge wealth tax advocate - and why he never seems to discuss implementation. Curious that he's a city trader who never seems to address that capital is mobile.

Thanks for al you do @SimonDixonTwitt

@alpha_pls Broken politics, but society also broken, 25% disability rate (self-reported), 2nd-worst globally for mental health in a big 2024 survey (worse than Ukraine and many 3rd world nations).

Here's a blue sky proposal for a set of structural solutions: https://t.co/Ke2I8MUW6K

@ryangrim It's cool to talk about riling up the plebs at WEF - you can say the best stuff there because manipulating the great unwashed is the main theme.

[Simon Dixon @SimonDixonTwitt]

I’m not in the EU, so I’m not directly affected, but dismissing this would be a mistake.

The EU is not acting independently. It is structurally subordinate to the BIS, whose power flows through the Federal Reserve system.

The Fed itself is owned by member banks, which are ultimately controlled by large asset managers such as BlackRock, a firm that also sits at the center of the WEF ecosystem.

This is not an ‘EU agenda’.

It is a US-led corporate and financial agenda.

Companies like Palantir are positioned to benefit, and they will get what they want:
a digital ID framework and a CBDC architecture rolled out in the EU.

The EU is the testing ground.

What follows will be a privatized version in the United States, implemented through regulated stablecoins rather than an overt CBDC.

If you are in the EU, you should not dismiss this.
You should prepare.

And if you are outside the EU, you should still pay attention, because this is the beta test for what comes next.

The reason I still love gold paired with bitcoin comes down to understanding the amount of risk you take on for the return.

Over the last 5 years, Bitcoin has not outperformed Gold and is where it's at relatively in 2021.

In the meantime, Gold has had a 15% historical volatility, whereas Bitcoin at 55%.

So with gold you could have had a similar return with a fraction of the volatlity.

Now, if you're a swing trader (i am), and think you can time bitcoin, the higher vol allows you good upside if you can time things. But with the higher vol, you also would likely lower your size vs a gold long

The two assets also have a pretty Bayesian correlation that ebbs and flows and generally the correlations complement each other in my opinion.

Putting it all together, I think you have a really great pair when you own them together:

- contrasting correlations
- gold has solid returns for much lower risk outlay
- btc has great returns but much higher risk outlay (good if you're a trader)

[Will @WClemente]

Gold is like Bitcoin except it actually behaves how people want Bitcoin to, and it's getting twapped by literal central banks

[Lookonchain @lookonchain]

ye(@kanyewest) launched the $YZY token. Note:

Only $YZY was added to the liquidity pool with no $USDC.
Dev may sell $YZY by adding/removing liquidity, similar to $LIBRA.

Multiple insider wallets prepared funds in advance and immediately bought $YZY.

Insider wallet 6MNWV8 knew the contract address in advance and even tried buying yesterday.

6MNWV8 spent 450,611 $USDC to buy 1.29M $YZY at $0.35 today and sold 1.04M $YZY for $1.39M, leaving 249,907 $YZY($600K), with a profit of over $1.5M.

'I was wrong but my ideas were RIGHT!'

Harvard since bought $117m of corn (at 500x higher prices than 10 years ago) plus a boatload of gold - very little MSM reporting on this.

[Kenneth S Rogoff @krogoff]

Almost a decade ago I was the Harvard economist that said that bitcoin was more likely to be worth $100 than 100k. What did I miss? I was far too optimistic about the US coming to its senses about sensible cryptocurrency regulation; why would policymakers want to facilitate tax evasion and illegal activities? Second, I did not appreciate how Bitcoin would compete with fiat currencies to serve as the transactions medium of choice in the twenty-trillion dollar global underground economy. This demand puts a floor on its price, as I discuss at length in my new book Our Dollar, Your Problem. Third, I did not anticipate a situation where regulators, and especially the regulator in chief, would be able to brazenly hold hundreds of millions (if not billions) of dollars in cryptocurrencies seemingly without consequence given the blatant conflict of interest.

paging @CarpeNoctom re: that ETH pullback target.

[Lucky Luke @ruggedprogram]

Strange way to run a treasury company, with Ichimoku trade signals. @MarkNewtonCMT you need to double your cloud settings. The real pullback target is $3,450.

Also, man of the moment Tom Lee was 2017's version of Jim Cramer...

[Thomas (Tom) Lee (not drummer) FundstratDirect.com @fundstrat]

Per @MarkNewtonCMT Ethereum undergoing a minor correction

- pullback to $4,075-$4,150 by midweek

Pullbacks are healthy 👨‍⚕️
