Imagine eggs poached in cream and Gruyère with an assist from bacon and you have imagined Oeufs Cocotte (Baked Eggs).

I overcooked the yolks a little and it was still amazing. I did have to buy these cute little clay pots for $21 each so it's a good thing I liked the dish.

Dangerous times

[Farzad 🇺🇸 🇮🇷 @farzyness]

The collapsing birth rate is actually way worse than you think.

One of the biggest things I've realized since becoming a father 3 months ago is that I spend an obscene amount of time thinking about the future.

This is because I want my child to have the best possible place to grow up in.

And thus, I spend way too much time looking at how society is functioning today and where the weaknesses are.

What's becoming painfully clear is that everything is broken.

Our Government overspends like crazy and they never tell the truth.

Our corporations are way too bloated, rarely innovate, and they are more than comfortable lowering quality over time while increasing profit margins.

Our Mainstream Media is a national embarrassment and is nothing more than a propaganda machine for the government.

I am now constantly filled with a sense of dread. It feels like a good future is almost impossible given the amount of stuff that is completely broken today.

However - once I start thinking about the past, and compare it to today, I realize that things are so much better than they used to be, so it gives me hope that a better future is possible with enough effort and pain.

But here's the MASSIVE problem - without a child, I would've never felt as motivated as I do now to make the future a better place.

And then it dawned on me that the declining birth rate is not just a simple math problem - it fundamentally de-incentivizes civilization to look forward.

This means that there are less people now - more than ever in recent recorded history - that don't have that child making it painfully obvious how broken everything is, and how desperately we need to make everything better for our children.

Instead, we are distracted by ever-increasing technological wonders that will be maximally optimized to draw your attention away from reality using AI algorithms.

We are distracted by amazing products and services, and incredible destinations to visit.

We are distracted by social media platforms that make it extremely difficult to stop paying attention to them.

We are truly in a very, very, very dangerous place.

We need more people speaking up about things that need to be fixed.

We need more entrepreneurs tackling difficult problems.

We need more public servants that have the people's best interest in mind.

We need so much.

But more important than all - we need more children.

Children are the future, and without them, the future will disappear.

Literally.

Release the Jasper fire prep files

Parks Canada needs to release all departmental notes and emails on the fire plan for Jasper the past seven years since the pine beetle dead tree crisis in 2017.

Because climate change didn’t leave acres of dead trees next to a beautiful mountain town for seven years. The government did.

The Jasper fire was going to happen.

The parks all have routine fires and it’s part of nature. What isn’t supposed to happen is that we lose a mountain town a federal bureaucracy is tasked to protect.

You can’t say “climate” as an excuse for managerial incompetence anymore just because you’re in the federal environmental bureaucracy.

Release the files.

Or resign.

EDWARD SNOWDEN JUST GAVE AN EXISTENTIAL WARNING TO ALL AMERICANS 🚨

“If you stick out, you will become non-normative, an anomaly.”

Snowden warns that within 5-10 years, big data will track every aspect of our lives on the blockchain in order to create predictive behavioral models.

These models will control whether or not you are given a loan, whether or not you will be hired for a new job, and how you participate in the marketplace. 🤯

This 2-minute clip of Snowden at the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville is mandatory listening. 👇

In June, @cameron and I were invited to a crypto round table in DC with the White House in attendance. Two weeks later, we were disinvited because we publicly endorsed @realDonaldTrump. The Biden-Harris Administration did not want us there and refused to attend the event if we were present. While this is totally their choice, it perfectly captures this Administration’s unwillingness to sincerely engage with our industry beyond paying lip service. If you are truly looking to engage with our industry — after waging war on it for the past 4 years — and understand its points of view in earnest, then certainly you would want to hear from and welcome the most vocal and critical voices, the people who have been most negatively impacted by your policies, even if their minds are made up. That is how you get real signal and perspective for self-reflection.

Disinviting your critics from a round table discussion because they support an opposing candidate (who by the way promised in no uncertain terms to end your war on crypto) is exactly the kind of behavior that makes crypto partisan. Not only is this behavior petty, it’s fake engagement that only serves to create a meaningless echo chamber. But it also begs a deeper question. Who exactly from the White House disinvited us from this round table? President Biden? Doubtful. He didn’t even show up. Was he even aware that this round table was being convened and happening? Again, doubtful given all that we now know and have seen. So, who exactly is in charge here? Is it the same people who one week say that President Biden is “sharp as a tack” and the next week sideline him? Who are these people and how can we look them in the eye and get assurances that the next 4 years will be different? I’d love to know.

The Biden-Harris Administration had an opportunity to try and reset the relationship with the crypto industry this week. In direct contrast to how we all have been stonewalled and disinvited the last 4 years, and despite an infinite number of reasons not to, the @TheBitcoinConf graciously and magnanimously extended an invitation to @KamalaHarris to speak to and engage with our industry in Nashville this weekend. That’s an olive branch of real engagement. Harris declined. Which of course is no engagement at all. But to her defense, did she really? Maybe she wanted to speak but the same people who installed her a week ago would not let her. We don’t really know, and that’s the problem. The only way to solve for this confusion and broken trust is for whoever is in charge to demonstrate real concrete action before November.

Demanding that Harris, or whoever calls the shots, take action before November is the most non-partisan position of all. As an industry, we should be completely aligned on this. We should demand to know, among other things, who the next chair of the @SECGov is before we head to the ballot box. This is table stakes, and this is how you make crypto bipartisan. No more guessing. No more hoping. No more surprises. Our industry should not tolerate any possibility of a repeat of the last 4 years. We need to see tangible change and a proof of commitment to treating our industry fairly and dealing with it in good faith going forward.

My hope is that in the not-too-distant future there are no politicians at any Bitcoin or crypto conferences. Not because they are not welcome, but because crypto is so universally accepted that it is no longer a campaign issue and therefore would be a waste of their time. Like going to a conference on whether or not email or the Internet should be legal or allowed.

I’d like to get back to building full-time and I know all of you would too. In order to do this, we, as an industry, must demand that both parties embrace our industry, treat it fairly, and do everything in their power to ensure that America is the best home in the world for crypto. The Biden-Harris Administration has 4 years of terror to unwind and only 101 days before November to do it. The ball is in their court.

JUST IN - Navy SEALs and Sailors who refused the COVID-19 mRNA injections will have their records cleared after a legal settlement in U.S. Navy SEALs 1-26 v. Biden.

"Navy sailors who refused the vaccine for religious reasons can now have their records corrected and will be protected against discrimination on promotion boards for the next three years, according to their attorneys.
The lawsuit, U.S. Navy SEALs 1-26 v. Biden, alleged that the Navy and the Defense Department violated their First Amendment rights to religious freedom by "categorically denying" their requests for religious exemptions from the COVID-19 vaccine."

Approximately 17,000 service members refused the vaccine, leading to over 8,400 discharges: 3,717 Marines, 2,041 Navy sailors, 1,841 Army soldiers, and 834 Air Force and Space Force members. By March 2022, the Navy had stopped discharges but had received 3,320 religious exemption requests from active-duty sailors and 864 from the Navy Reserve, none of which were approved.

BREAKING🚨🚨

A company called Austin Private Wealth LLC shorted 12,000,000 shares of $DJT via a put option. The filing date is July 12th, the day before the assassination attempt.

They have around $1 Billion in assets under management and this is by far the largest put placed. According to a source the trade represents 6% of total shares and over 16%! of the float of the stock given the fact that Trump owns 60% of the company.

This is a giant bet when you consider their total AUM but wait there’s more…
