🚨 BREAKING

Canada’s entrepreneurship rate just hit a 45-year low.

IT GETS WORSE.

The number of Canadians who actually run businesses with employees dropped 57% since 2000.

IT GETS WORSE.

VC investment got cut in half in two years. Seed rounds here are 40% smaller than the US.

IT GETS WORSE.

In 2024, for the first time ever, more Canadian-educated founders started their companies in the US than in Canada. Only 1 in 3 are still based here.

IT GETS WORSE.

Y Combinator briefly removed Canada from its acceptable jurisdictions list entirely. They sent a message.

New businesses created since 2015:

France up 86%
UK up 40%
US up 34%

Canada? Flat. 191,000 → 190,000

$66 billion in startup ecosystem value: gone from Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal in five years.

We’re not just losing OUR BEST to the US.

We’re losing the people who CREATE the jobs.

THE BEST PEOPLE ARE LEAVING.

🚨 SILVER CRASHED NEARLY -50% IN 53 DAYS.

And we may have found who caused it.

Silver hit ATH $121.64 on January 29, 2026. Today it sits at $65, a 46% collapse, and 25% of that drop happened AFTER February 25, 2026.

Why does that date matter?

Meet Jane Street. They made $20.5 billion in revenue in 2024 with only 3,000 employees, more than Citibank and Bank of America who both have 200,000+ employees. They do not bet on markets going up or down. They bet on markets MOVING. 87% of their $662 billion portfolio is in options, which make money when prices swing hard and fast.

In Q4 2025, Jane Street bought 20.67 million shares of SLV, the most liquid silver ETF in the world, up from just 41,100 shares the quarter before. That is a 500x increase while silver was rallying hard, and nobody knew.

- January 29: Silver hits $121.64 ATH with everyone maximally long.

- January 30: Silver collapses 30% in 30 hours, the worst precious metals crash since 1980, with CME raising margin requirements mid crash and cascading liquidations making it worse.

- February 25: Jane Street's 13F filing becomes public and the world finds out they were the LARGEST holder of SLV the entire time, bigger than BlackRock and Morgan Stanley. Silver is now dowm another 25% after this disclosure.

So Jane Street built a $1.3B secret position while silver rallied, silver crashed 30% in 30 hours, the world found out they were the biggest holder only AFTER the crash, and silver dropped another 25% on top.

49% down total, sitting at $69 today.

Here is what most people are missing.

A 13F filing only shows long equity positions and does NOT show short positions, derivatives or the full options book, meaning Jane Street could have had a massive short bet on silver through options and nobody would know.

Step 1: buy $1.3B of SLV and become the largest holder.

Step 2: build a 10x larger options position betting on silver falling.

Step 3: use that size to push the price down, ETF loses a little and options make 10x back.

Step 4: nobody finds out until 45 days after quarter end when the crash is already done.

This is not just a theory. There is documented proof Jane Street ran this EXACT playbook in India between 2023 and 2025. SEBI wrote a 105-page order, the largest fine in their history, and impounded $570 million from Jane Street.

On Bank Nifty expiry days, Jane Street bought massive amounts of index stocks in the morning to push prices up while simultaneously building short options positions 7.3 times larger than their stock position.

Then in the afternoon they sold everything, the index dropped and their puts printed money. On a single day they lost $7.5M on stocks and made $89M on options.

The stock trade was just the cost of running the operation. SEBI found this across 18 expiry days and a whistleblower said it happened on 90 to 95% of all trading days.

In crypto, the bankruptcy administrator of Terraform Labs filed an 83 page federal lawsuit against Jane Street alleging they used inside information to front-run the $40 billion Terra/LUNA collapse.

When Terraform quietly withdrew $150 million from Curve Finance with zero public notice, a wallet linked to Jane Street pulled $85 million from the same pool within 10 minutes.

A Jane Street employee had interned at Terraform and allegedly ran a private chat called "Bryce's Secret" with insiders as a back channel for non-public information, and Jane Street allegedly avoided $200M+ in losses.

Blockchain forensics traced the wallet back to Jane Street through Coinbase records. Same pattern as India: get positioned ahead of the move, extract the profit, everyone else takes the loss.

The physical silver backing SLV is held by JPMorgan, who paid $920 million in 2020 for manipulating precious metals markets, the largest CFTC sanction ever, after admitting their traders placed hundreds of thousands of fake orders in gold and silver futures for 8 straight years with their top spoofer receiving 2 years in prison.

So the full picture: the silver backing the ETF is held by a bank convicted of 8 years of silver manipulation, and the largest holder of that ETF is a firm documented running a cash into derivatives manipulation scheme in India and facing a federal lawsuit for insider front running in crypto. Silver is down 46% and sitting at $65 today.

None of this is proven in a US court and the macro explanations for the crash are real.

But no regulator has asked the one question that matters: what was Jane Street's TOTAL net silver position on January 29 and 30, including the full options book and complete derivatives exposure?

Because if the India playbook was running in silver, the $1.3B ETF stake was just the cost.

The options position on the other side was the profit. And the 49% crash was not a crash. It was a payout.

My wife and I went through the McDonald's drive-thru window, and I gave the cashier a $5 bill. Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her a quarter.

She said, 'You gave me too much money.'

I said, 'Yes, I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar back.'

She sighed and went to get the manager, who asked me to repeat my request.

I did so, and he handed me back the 25c, and said, 'We're sorry, but we don’t do that kind of thing.'

The cashier then returned 75 cents in change.

Do not confuse the people at McDonald's.

I own a small bakery. Business has been slow. Rent is up. I was thinking about closing.

Last Friday, a teenager came in. He looked nervous. He counted out change for a cookie. He was short 50 cents.

"It's okay," I said. "Take it."

He ate it at a table, looking at his math homework. He looked stuck.

I used to be a math tutor.

I walked over. "Quadratic equations?"

He nodded. "I don't get it."

I sat down and helped him for 20 minutes. He got it. He left smiling.

The next day, he came back with two friends. They bought cookies.

The day after that, five kids came.

Apparently, he told the school, "The lady at the bakery helps with homework."

Now, my bakery is the after-school hang-out spot. It's loud. It's messy. There are backpacks everywhere.

Yesterday, I found a note in the tip jar. It was wrapped around a $20 bill.

"Thanks for helping my son pass math. A Mom."

I'm not closing the bakery.

I think I finally found my purpose.

It's not cookies. It's community.

In Ancient Greece, slaves were forbidden from exercising so they didn't get strong enough to revolt.

Roman gladiators were were fed barley and beans to keep them big, but slow so they couldn't conquer their masters.

In the Ottoman Empire, drinking coffee was forbidden so citizens didn't rebel.

Spartan slaves were deliberately underfed and overworked to prevent rebellion

In Feudal Europe, peasants were fed bread and oats while nobles feasted on red meat.

Controlling a population starts with food and fitness.

You get what's happening today right?

[DFINITY Foundation @dfinity]

During #WorldComputerDay in Davos, we officially announced the Swiss Subnet. Here's why we're incredibly excited about it and why you should be too:

🇨🇭 What is the Swiss Subnet on the Internet Computer?

The Swiss Subnet is a dedicated ICP subnet designed for applications that require data residency, regulatory clarity, and high-trust infrastructure.

So what does that mean in practice?

1️⃣ Geographic certainty
All nodes in the Swiss Subnet are physically located in Switzerland (and Liechtenstein).
This ensures data stays within a well-defined legal jurisdiction.

2️⃣ Built for compliance
The subnet is designed to support use cases that require:

> Strong data protection
> Predictable regulation
> Institutional and enterprise standards

This makes it suitable for finance, public sector, healthcare, and enterprise workloads.

3️⃣ Native to ICP
The Swiss Subnet isn’t a sidechain or workaround - it’s a first-class subnet on the Internet Computer, benefiting from:

> On-chain smart contracts (canisters)
> Chain-key cryptography
> Web-speed performance

4️⃣ Digital sovereignty, by design
It enables organizations to build decentralized applications while maintaining control over jurisdiction, infrastructure, and trust assumptions.

The Swiss Subnet shows how ICP’s architecture can support geographically specialized blockchains, combining decentralization with real-world regulatory needs.

That's massive.

Mike Benz exposes U2 singer Bono

- Did USAID fundraiser concerts
- He did one and raised $100 million for “hunger relief in Somalia”
- Of the $100 million, “$95 million of it went to CIA backed warlords to buy guns”
- Bono was later formally knighted by the British Crown after “he helped put down the Irish revolt against the British crown”

The Govt of Canada now admits over 10,000 Canadians were injured or killed by COVID vaccines.

Worldwide, the toll is in the millions. The evidence can no longer be hidden, so the strategy shifts: minimize the numbers, rewrite history, and claim “we did our best.”

Criminal investigations are required.

Ottawa Police Detective Helen Grus was right, and still they seek to destroy her - to deter any other Canadian police officer from launching a criminal investigation of the responsible public officials.

The World Computer Takes Over Davos 🇨🇭

@dfinity just turned "World Computer Day" into the main event for Web3 infrastructure. Here is the full wrap of what just happened in Switzerland. 👇

🛜 The Bombshell: The "Swiss Subnet" is Live
Dominic Williams officially unveiled the first National Sovereign Subnet.

• What it is: A decentralized cloud built on 13 independent nodes—all physically located in Switzerland.

• Why it matters: It solves the biggest hurdle for enterprise and government adoption: Data Sovereignty.

• The Unlock: Banks, hospitals, and governments can now build unstoppable apps on ICP while guaranteeing their data never leaves Swiss jurisdiction.

• Next Step: "Swiss Cloud Engines" are coming to let companies rent this infrastructure directly.

🧠 The "Age of Intelligence" & Self-Writing Cloud
Dom Williams delivered a keynote on the "Age of Intelligence," dropping a massive prediction:

• The Metric: Cloud revenue is on track to hit $2 Trillion by 2030.

• The Prediction: A significant portion of that pie will be eaten by "Self-Writing Cloud"—AI-generated apps running on ICP, creating a deflationary burn loop.

• The Quote: "AI and security will become inseparable - and cryptography is how security is delivered." — Dom Williams (Fireside Chat with AMD Silo AI).

🏦 The Institutional Heavyweights Entered the Chat
The "Crypto Casino" was replaced by serious financial infrastructure. The "Adoption Unlocked" and "Capital Markets" panels featured heavy hitters discussing the future of digital money:

• Citi: Ronit Ghose (Head of Future of Finance).
• Circle: Kash Razzaghi (Chief Commercial Officer).
• Binance: Raj Timothy Nandwani.
• Chainlink Labs: Fernando Luis Vázquez Cao.

🤖 The AI & Tech Titans
It wasn't just finance; the "Decoding Intelligence" panel brought the world's top AI researchers to the ICP stage:

• NVIDIA: Marc Stampfli (Business Director Switzerland) emphasized the shift toward open models: "We'll see the democratization of AI, with more and more open-source models.".

• The Panel: Joined by Yariv Adan (Ellipsis Venture) and Prof. Dr. Anna Zeiter (W Social), the discussion focused on the "trifecta" fueling the AI boom: Talent, Tech Stacks, and Ethical Foundations.

• The Researchers: Top minds from Google DeepMind (James Rubin), Stanford (Prof. Andreas Tolias), and AMD/Silo AI (Peter Sarlin) discussed the next leap in models and decentralized inference.

🛡️ Cyber Diplomacy & Global Security

Moving beyond tech, the event tackled the geopolitical layer of the World Computer.

• The Topic: "Cyber Diplomacy in an Era of Disruption" addressed how to build power and policy for a stable cyberspace.

• The Experts: Chris Painter (The Cyber Policy Group) and Tracy Trachsler (DFINITY) discussed the intersection of technology and statecraft.

Stay decentralized! ∞
