REPOST IF YOU WANT ORDINALS ON OPENSEA!!!!!!!!
BREAKING: Australia to reportedly sue Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, & YouTube for allegedly violating its nationwide social media ban for children under 16.
BTC bottomed near $57k in July after a ~54% drawdown from the Oct 2025 ATH of $126k. It's now around $82k with neutral sentiment.
Most on-chain and cycle analyses say the low is in and the bear is over. Per your chart, we're past despair/bottom fishing into early accumulation or trend emergence/momentum building. Early bull stage, not FOMO or euphoria yet. Cycles are maturing with shallower moves.
Labour’s announcement to ban social media for under 16 year olds is a naive solution to a genuine issue.
Throwing out simplistic sound bites denies the reality that banning social media in its entirety means either banning VPNs or using digital ID for everyone - otherwise it’s a fools errand and meaningless.
The failure in Australia to implement such laws highlights this and Labour knows it.
Everyone with children wants them protected from the harms of social media, but the threat of everyone needing to lose privacy and freedoms to enable that to happen is what Labour needs to explain to kiwis.
Ultimately we need to ask ourselves as a country how far we want the government to overreach into the responsibilities of parents, but most importantly the rights of parents.
If we start down this innocent pathway it will become very slippery and won’t stop.
Election period promises that sound good should not hide the serious nature of the solution, nor of the seriousness of the problem we all agree should be addressed.
PS
Between 2020-2023 what did Labour ever do about the problem they are now promising to solve.
BREAKING: Banks are taking back more homes.
Lenders repossessed 5,794 homes in August, up 42% from a year ago and 22% from July, per ATTOM.
That’s far faster than the 13% rise in overall foreclosure filings, meaning more distressed homeowners are reaching the end of the process.
If you knew this about Bitcoin, I bet you would start caring about it.
Current Bitcoin computing power is 978 exahashes per second. That is Bitcoin’s hashrate.
In simpler terms, that means the Bitcoin network is doing 978 quintillion calculations *per second*. There is no other computer network on Planet Earth that even comes close to that level of power.
To put this in perspective, since the Big Bang supposedly happened, 435.5 quadrillion seconds have passed. 978 quintillion calculations is 2,246 times that number.
In other words, Bitcoin performs more calculations *every second* than the total number of seconds that have passed in the entire universe’s existence, times 2,246.
And that doesn’t even capture the growth of the Bitcoin network.
In 2013, only four years into Bitcoin’s lifespan, global Bitcoin computing power was 256 times faster than the world’s top 500 supercomputers combined.
In just 13 years since then, the computing power of the Bitcoin network has grown by over 209,000 times.
That would be like the human population going from 8 billion people to 1.68 quadrillion people in a little over a decade.
To put that in perspective, 8 billion seconds ago was the year 1773. 1.68 quadrillion seconds ago was 53,233,962 BC.
If Bitcoin’s computing power has grown by over 209,000 times in 13 years, and that growth rate is the equivalent of going from 53,000,000 BC to 1773 AD, one could say that the Bitcoin network has advanced over 53 million years in a little over a decade.
Such a level of growth is a strong indicator of intelligence.
Do with this what you will.
🚨 The City of London Will Trigger the Next U.S. Bond Meltdown
The petrodollar system is entering its most dangerous chapter.
For 50 years the petrodollar system forced the world to buy oil in U.S. dollars, then recycle those dollars into U.S. Treasuries and assets. That artificial demand is what kept the dollar as the world’s reserve currency.
Gulf States (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, etc.) suddenly cannot sell their oil at scale. No oil sales = no revenue. Saudi Arabia recorded ZERO Oil sale to America in September for the first time ever.
But this exact petrodollar choke could collapse the U.S. Treasuries.
These same Gulf States are massively leveraged. They’ve borrowed heavily from Western banks to fund megaprojects, sovereign wealth plays, and lifestyle. When the oil money stops, they default.
Those defaults cascade straight into the global banking system and the epicenter is the City of London, the old petrodollar recycling hub where the big players (and their interconnected exposures) sit.
One major default wave and the British banking system lights up like 2008 on steroids.
City of London is cashing in on the Hormuz crisis. Spiking war-risk insurance at Lloyd’s, higher trading fees, Gulf loan pressures & yield surges all flow through the Square Mile.
For 118 years since Britain stole Iran’s oil in 1908 and created BP, every Iranian government (the Shah and the Ayatollahs) has answered to the same master: the British City of London financial empire.
The City of London isn’t just a place, it’s the invisible hand that owns the oil empires, rigs the money printers, and pulls the strings of EVERY central bank on Earth.
Even the “independent” Federal Reserve?
Quietly owned and influenced by London’s banking cabal. Trump basically admitted it when Jerome Powell was running the show, the Fed was never America’s.
Foreign nations including Netherlands, France and Germany pulled out over 500 Tonnes of Gold OUT of the U.S. and storing it in the City of London.
In response, the U.S. Treasury is more than doubling the size of its own long-dated bond buybacks to at least $6 billion per operation.
The pattern is deliberate. City of London institutions and the interconnected financial architecture they dominate sit in position to influence energy chokepoints, credit flows, and the recycling of petrodollars.
This was exactly warned by the famous City of London Banker @LordBelgrave at the start of the year.
The crash is coming. The reset is real. And Trump is the one lighting the match.
BREAKING: The head of the army says the UK's political leaders are about to start a "frank conversation" with the public about the need to prepare for war, per Sky News.
General Sir Roly Walker said every citizen will be asked to make sacrifices and to play their part in the defence of the nation.
@axiemaid Check out the first tradable blockchain card: #FDCARD
Released 2015 to people who volunteered computing power to cancer research. Many lost to inactive wallets - unclear how many of the 299 are accessible.
FDCARD is playable on the first blockchain game @SpellsofGenesis
This is all a big show. There is no real inflation hawk. Look at Scott Bessent, they are all trying to appear as if they are tough on inflation because he just hired Judy Shelton as an advisor; a gold bug. They hired someone who is talking about a gold standard to appear serious.
They are not serious about anything. This is all part of the show. All smoke and mirrors. They are trying to create a false impression that they actually want to do something about inflation.
The last thing they are going to do is actually do something about inflation.
