How will the student loan debt crisis affect the broader US economy in the coming years? 🎓 #StudentLoans

With trade wars and tariffs, how is the US economy adapting to a more fragmented global market？

BREAKING: 🇺🇸 Trump will decide the next Fed Chair before Christmas.

Crazy that a completed building is sitting vacant … just waiting for a sign off from the city

Price is down (again)...
Well, great time to get into some recent #bitcoin reads! 👇

This week’s readings explore the boundaries of the Bitcoin ecosystem - from the early data wars that shaped the protocol, to the tradeoffs of self-sovereignty, to the growing wave of financial censorship worldwide. 🌍⚡

1️⃣ Read_904 - The OP_Return Wars of 2014 by @BitMEXResearch

Bitcoin or Ethereum: where should DApps live?

In Read_904 we get into the history of the OP_RETURN wars, before digging into the incentives of mempool policy and filters.

Are we defending sound money, or just inviting smarter spam under a new label..?

2️⃣ Read_905 - The Cost Of Self Custody by @brian_trollz

🔑 Self-custody isn’t free.

Every transaction has a cost, and layered custody in a high-fee future may look less sovereign than we’d like.
In Read_905 we explore Shinobi’s work on The Cost Of Self Custody.

3️⃣ Read_906 - The Censorship Tsunami is Building [FFR 91] by @HRF

A tsunami of censorship is building. 🌊

Vietnam. India. Europe. Each step toward “inclusion” hides a deeper push for surveillance.
In this month's Financial Freedom Report read, we break down how control is accelerating (and, naturally, how #Bitcoin fixes this!)

ITALY AIMS TO RAISE FLAT TAX FOR RICH FOREIGNERS BY 50%

Italy plans to raise its flat tax on foreign income for wealthy newcomers by 50%, to €300,000. If approved, this would deter rich expats who have flocked to Milan for its lifestyle and favorable tax deals over the past decade.

Amazing.

All the parents responding but “why? Let them be kids!” 🤯 = a big reason why I will do alternative schooling
So instead of letting your kids learn and practice things you want them to live a narrow definition of what you think is “childhood” which is most likely btw consuming products and services and anxieties marketed to you to make you consume more
Case in point and a tangent: see tons of Disney vacations around me but almost no community service (except for college apps!). My kids will do the opposite, we will be volunteering regularly before they go on some overpriced Disney experience. (Btw you can start at age 5 or even younger, just look for it)

@CurrentRevolt Brainwashed boomers, doing what their TV told them to do.

[Will Manidis @WillManidis]

if you’re a young person interested going deep on weird things, basically the only good advice is you should be 1000x more commercial.

someone will get very rich by monetizing the things you figure out, there’s no reason that person shouldn’t be you.

Just some Bitcoin mining machines heating a town in Finland.

Our sixth site here is coming online soon — providing heat for the Finns and bitcoin for their owners.

At this point, bitcoin mining is probably heating the homes of over 100,000 people in Finland.

Maybe find assets that are up on the day, not heavily shilled on the TL, hard to buy, with a privacy narrative, trading around $100m MC.

Gold hits all-time high, leaves bitcoin behind in 2025 rally https://t.co/X19znDrCBo

[Porter Stansberry @porterstansb]

How completely nuts is it that the world’s most valuable economy runs on bullshit paper money with idiot bureaucrats like this guy setting interest rates, rather than actual lenders? He isn’t qualified to run a hot dog stand. And why do we have this absurd monetary system? So our corrupt as fuck overlords can continue to vastly overspend on wars, welfare, and ruining our lives.
We deserve the utter destruction that’s coming. And if you trust the government about anything, at all, you’re the dumbest slave in history.

If you live in MA - whether you follow me or not - whether you’re a Republican, Democrat or Unenrolled (ie Independent) - whether you describe yourself as conservative, liberal, progressive, moderate, libertarian or as a common sense centrist - let me know and I’ll follow you - assuming you don’t mind.✌️

There is nobody I trust more on the topic of elections than Kurt Olsen.

By the grace of God, Kurt came into my life after the 2022 elections were stolen in broad-daylight in Arizona. He was my attorney and fought like hell despite a deeply corrupt court system. Kurt personally risked everything to show the world what they did to the people of Arizona. He also fought the rigged elections in 2020 for President Trump.

If we do not tackle election fraud and restore integrity, we will lose our country forever. I know President Trump understands that.

Thank you, President @realDonaldTrump, for hiring @KurtOlsen_USA! 🇺🇸
