Which Asian countries are the most exposed to rising oil prices?
Oil prices rising from $70 to $85 reduces Singapore's real GDP growth by -1.5 percentage points, the largest hit in the region.
Taiwan follows closely at -1.2 percentage points.
Hong Kong, Korea, and India would see a reduction of -0.5 to -0.7 percentage points each.
The Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia face a hit of -0.3 to -0.5 percentage points.
Meanwhile, China is the least exposed at -0.1 percentage points, as its oil imports are better diversified than those of its neighbors.
With oil now at ~$100, far above the $85 modeled here, the real GDP impact across Asia is significantly larger.
Most major Asian economies are highly exposed to oil price swings.
In 1971, the US ran out of money and defaulted on its debts. Now, they didn’t say it that way. But by moving away from the gold standard, money as we understood it ended.
I expected the stock market to plunge, but it went on to rise nearly 25%. That surprised me. But when I looked into it, I discovered the exact same thing happened in 1933 and it had the exact same effect.
Here’s why.

The fire is rising.
Each week more and more $QUBIC is being burned. We thought we’d run a tally of 2025 to see how much was being burned.
So far in 2025, we have burned 170bn.
Thats 2.4% of all coins emitted this year so far - from one dapp (QEarn) and one IPO (MSVault).
There will be many more dapps and IPOs this year. And a halving so emissions are lowered again. What happens then?
1st time BTC hits $100k, ETH is at $4k
2nd time BTC hits $100k, ETH is at $3.9k
3rd time BTC hits $100k, ETH is at $3.7k
4th time BTC hits $100k, ETH is at $3.4k
5th time BTC hits $100K, ETH is at $3k
6th time BTC hits $100K, ETH is at $2.7k
🔥 Big shoutout to QEarn on Qubic for burning an impressive 10,800,000,000 $QUBIC 💸 in just weeks! As more users take their Qubic out of the protocol, we can anticipate even more burns ahead. This is just the beginning! 🔥💼 #CryptoCommunity#Qubic#BurnBurnBurn
INTEL: The Trump administration will form a crypto advisory council of 24 leaders to draft legislation, build a #Bitcoin reserve, and promote regulatory clarity

NEW DAO PROPOSAL: APPROVE LIQUIDITY PROVISIONING FOR A FLOKI ETP
We've been actively working with a respected Asset Manager and an ETP Issuer to launch a Floki ETP (Exchange-Traded Product) for quite a while now. After months of due diligence and painstaking effort, we've been told that the Floki ETP is on track to go live in early Q1, 2025.
This proposal is to have the Floki DAO approve liquidity for the Floki ETP!
