New Testament scholar Jeremiah Johnston explains why he believes the Shroud of Turin is authentic, tells story about how Jewish technical photographer Barrie Schwortz became convinced it was authentic.
"If you're a medieval forger, how are you gonna know about AB blood?"
"I believe that based on the evidence in the 102 academic disciplines that have studied over 600,000 research hours in it... I believe that because I'm not irrational."
"I went from skeptic to believing in it based on the science..."
"It is an itemized receipt of how much Jesus loves you."
Remarkable.

Next step is to identify the funds who have invested in the biggest insurance companies and to move your IRAs and savings elsewhere.
Anyone have the data on who the biggest investors are ?
I hate to say this because I love Warren Buffet ( I know he retired ) , but Berkshire Hathaway needs to reconsider their healthcare insurance investments @CNBC
If the people who fund their stock see outflows, things will change.
If the stock price of the insurance companies collapse, the market will make them divest if @doj doesn’t have the balls to investigate them completely

Want another reason why healthcare costs are insane ?
Hospitals will not only charge a facility fee and other random costs BUT ALSO , if they believe the insurance company is willing to pay MORE THAN WHAT WAS ON THE PATIENT BILL, THEY WILL INCREASE THE BILL to the insurance company.
Of course the insurance company then charges the self insured employer the higher amount.
Our healthcare has become a game of who can rip off who and get away with it.
Too Big To Care - all of it.
Break em up !
This fight is important. Lung cancer takes too many lives, and early detection can save them. I’m teaming up with @NFLAlumni and @CDC_cancer to raise awareness. Let’s protect the people we love, Dallas and #GearUpAgainstCancer. https://t.co/Y5m9Y2WWcf
@Telcoin just crossed the line most crypto projects never do.
(The TLDR version:
Telcoin didn’t launch another token. They finished building a regulated financial stack and are about to turn the network on underneath it. $TEL isn’t a promise anymore. It’s a utility token about to be plugged into real money movement.)
—————
For years, crypto has had three separate worlds that barely talk to each other. You’ve got banks and regulators. You’ve got stablecoins pretending to be dollars. And you’ve got blockchains that move fast but live in regulatory limbo. Telcoin just stitched those three together in a way that’s actually legal in the U.S.
That’s the big deal.
Telcoin now operates a regulated digital asset bank and has issued a real U.S. dollar stablecoin backed by bank-held reserves. Not a “trust us bro” stablecoin. Not an offshore issuer. A regulated, state-chartered bank issuing dollars on-chain.
But most will ask, “why’s that even matter? I’ll just use @USDC”
in plain English: this is how crypto stops being a toy and starts being infrastructure.
Most crypto projects try to bolt usefulness on later. Telcoin did the hard part first. They spent 7 years dealing with regulators, helping draft banking law, compliance, and boring paperwork while everyone else chased memes, KOLs and big marketing budgets.
Now they can legally hold dollars, issue stablecoins, and move value between banks and blockchains without pretending those rules don’t exist.
Next comes the missing piece: the L1 evm-compatable Telcoin Network being built
Right now, Telcoin has payments, remittances, and token utility, but the full loop isn’t closed. The network is what turns all of this into a self-contained system. Dollars come in through a regulated bank. Those dollars become stablecoins. Transactions run on Telcoin’s network. Fees are paid in $TEL. Usage drives demand. Demand tightens supply. That’s the flywheel.
This is where most people miss it.
$TEL isn’t competing with meme coins or random L1s. It’s positioned under the rails of real money movement. Every payment, transfer, settlement, or application that runs on the network needs $TEL to function. That’s not narrative demand. That’s mechanical demand.
Think of it like this: If stablecoins are the blood, the bank is the heart, and the network is the circulatory system, then $TEL is the oxygen. You don’t speculate on oxygen. You need it for the system to stay alive.
Right now, the market mostly prices Telcoin like “another crypto token.” That’s because the hardest milestones just finished quietly. Regulators don’t ring bells. Bank charters don’t trend on X. But once users, businesses, and developers actually start using a regulated on-chain dollar inside a purpose-built network, the valuation framework changes. It stops being “what might this be someday” and starts being “how much value flows through this system.”
That’s the inflection point investors look for after the fact.
The risk is execution, not legitimacy. The legality is done. The compliance is done. The bank exists. The stablecoin exists. The remaining question is adoption and scale. If Telcoin executes even moderately well, the upside asymmetry is obvious. If they fail, it won’t be because regulators shut them down. It’ll be because they couldn’t attract users fast enough.
That’s a very different risk profile than most crypto.
People usually notice that part late.

Hi @davidgokhshtein love the suit & tie 😁, thnx for giving @TelcoinPaul the stage @Telcoin deserves. You will be mind blown what he will have to $TEL in 2-3 months.

Almost cannot fit anymore $TEL analysis on one image.
The most important thing I am watching is the USA ISM IPM - Manufacturing index, which prints at the start of each month. You can see by the green circles what happens when it crosses above 50. Last time it did a +600% pump on a false breakout. What happens when we do a real one?
BTC has just bounced off the 100 Week moving average, which is a double-edged sword. The strongest level of support but also the biggest potential bearish indicator.
BEAR Scenario: If BTC drops below that with strength there is a potential for it to retrace -50% like the last 3 crosses below the 100W moving average. I see this scenario as unlikely, but be aware of it.
I remain a bull with a long time horizon.
None of my analysis is financial advice; it is only analysis for you to read and ponder for your own situation.
My targets for $TEL have not changed in over a year.
One of the strongest fundamental projects out there.
Positive developments with the Ukraine Peace Deal.
See upcoming catalysts.

@mcuban Our employer plans @DiamondPhy are $200 per employee per month (unlimited primary care). $100 dropped by the goverment in an HSA is half way there! #DirectPrimaryCare
I want to share what I think about MDs. I love each and everyone that busted their ass, borrowed too much money, sacrificed more than we can ever quantify, in hopes of helping their patients. Medicine is an imprecise science. The uncertainties far outnumber the absolutes.
