@Strategy Time to repurchase the remaining converts, clear the senior debt, and go all-in on STRC + MSTR

@Mandrik Unfortunately, their years of aggressive style in Bitcoin reduce sympathy for the silence

[Jamais Vu 🏉 @boot15_vu]

Fair play to @TiceRichard for giving the establishment media an economics lesson.

But more importantly, he asks the pertinent question:

Why did they relentlessly berate Liz Truss over the mini-budget, yet remain strangely silent now the markets are performing even worse under Starmer and Burnham?

If the markets were the test then, surely they’re the test now.

Funny how the rules change depending on who’s in Downing Street. 🤔

@MrMBrown Forget the 30 year high in gilts, let's borrow more to ensure that no one pays more than £2 per bus journey! The guy thinks himself as the Mayor of the UK, nothing more

This could prove 100% accurate if he swaps ALL the Federal debt for T-Bills, then uses those T-Bills to back 0% yielding stablecoins, then cuts the rate on those T-Bills to 0.60% (b/c the banks don't deserve 3.5% on stablecoins).

You're gonna want to own more gold & BTC though.

@moving_charlie @alexgroundwater The market is a leveraged bet on cheap credit and wages rising faster than inflation. With sticky inflation, 0% growth, weak labour market, rising youth unemployment and boomers owning most of the property wealth, real price growth looks unlikely and stagnation is the likely path

@julianHjessop The Renters Rights Act is also pushing up rents by shrinking the supply of properties for let as landlords exit the market

Britain will spend £109 BILLION on debt interest this year.

That is more than:

- The entire Education budget
- The entire Defence budget
- Nearly 4× the Transport budget
- More than 5× the Home Office budget
- Nearly 8× the Justice budget
- Roughly half the Health and Social Care (NHS) budget

That is the equivalent of around £3,220 per working person per year, or £268 a month, just to service the national debt.

The debt is rising by roughly £4,000 to £4,300 every second.

At a time when people are already being squeezed by the cost of living, a huge amount of the tax they pay is being swallowed up by interest on old debt rather than paying for the services they actually use.

After all that, the £2.9 trillion debt is still there.

@ONS May I propose a slight correction:

"The latest decrease was driven by small business, who cite Labour..."

Together they represent one of the biggest transfers of wealth from households and businesses to the Treasury in decades - with no noticeable improvement in public services.

Whether you're a business owner employing staff, a parent paying school fees, a farmer planning succession, an entrepreneur building wealth or simply someone trying to save for retirement...

You keep less of what you earn.
You keep less of what you invest.
You leave less to your family.

Death by a thousand cuts is becoming tax policy.

@intangiblecoins Any reports of Qs being drained yet?

[zerohedge @zerohedge]

"The WSJ reporting that the long-feared “Google Zero” moment — when Google Search largely stops sending traffic to third-party sites — some publications are seeing traffic drops of more than 40% between mid-2025 and mid-2026. Publishers face a choice: allow Google’s multi-purpose crawlers (which feed both traditional search and AI training) or block them and lose search visibility entirely. Several major outlets, including USA Today, Reddit, Politico, Reuters and others, are now openly considering or preparing to restrict Google’s access, while Cloudflare plans to start blocking multi-purpose crawlers by default from mid-September unless site owners opt out. The old model in which publishers had no real alternative to Google’s rules is cracking" - Goldman TMT note

Complete Summary of all findings:

Mk3 seed phrase = swept instantly
Mk3 seed phrase with random account = swept in 2d 2h
Mk3 seed + 1 word passphrase = swept in 6d 9h
Mk3 seed + 2 word passphrase = swept in 6d 9h
Mk3 seed + 3 word passphrase = swept in 6d 11h

Mk4 seed phrase = not swept after 6 days
