When I spoke at that conference, Bitcoin was trading near $110,000. I said the conference likely represented the peak of the mania. A blow-off top. So far, it looks like I was right. Attendees who followed my advice and sold their Bitcoin are certainly glad that they did.
Why do we have inflation? The Fed tries to force 2% inflation. It wasn’t always this way.
“The natural tendency for prices is to go down. If you look at the CPI in 1900 and you look at it in 1800, it was down by 50%. So for a hundred years in America, prices went down. And during that time, we had the Industrial Revolution.”
“We had the most rapid period of economic growth in the history of America, which was after the Civil War and into the early 1900s. All the time prices were coming down.”
“Today, the Federal Reserve says that we need to have 2 % inflation. Prices have to go up 2 % a year. Why? I mean, why does the cost of living have to go up? Why can't it go down or at least remain the same? And what is the answer to that? What's the rationale for that?”
“Well, they have a bunch of BS explanations and it's all to justify the fact that the government wants inflation. It's not that it's good for us. The government needs it.”
“It's the way the government raises revenue and repudiates its debts.”

The universe doesn't just recycle matter; it recycles design.
Notice how the cosmic web mirrors our neural networks, or how a dying star resembles cellular mitosis. This scale invariance points to a deeply fractal reality. We aren’t just looking at the cosmos; we are it.
While you slept last night, completely still in your bed, our galaxy moved millions of kilometers through the cosmos. You woke up in the same room, on the same planet, yet unimaginably far from where you were the night before.
The Milky Way is not drifting quietly through the universe. It is racing through space at around 600 kilometers per second, carrying billions of stars, planets, and everything on them along for the ride.
It is a good reminder that even when life feels motionless, you are always in motion.
This was yet another missile attack on the American base in Jordan a few days ago. The change I can observe is that they are now launching around 3-4 interceptors, whereas before this number could easily exceed 10.
The outcome in this video didn’t change, but at least they are saving money.
I estimate that more than 3,000 interceptors have already been expended by this point.
Iranian Technology Goes Far Beyond Missiles
The country rank in the global 5 in six critical technologies
Iran has established itself as a major power in missiles, but this is only the tip of the iceberg. The country also competes with global powers in several other technological markets.
Although it still faces historical bottlenecks in investment in basic sectors, resulting in critical deficits in electricity generation and potable water supply, the situation is changing. Iran has woken up to these vulnerabilities and is now directing billions of dollars toward restructuring its essential infrastructure.
However, it still needs to prove that domestic infrastructure is a higher priority than funding militias in foreign territories.
The most impressive phenomenon, however, is occurring in the field of knowledge.
Just a few years ago, anyone who predicted that Iran would surpass powers such as Germany, Japan, and India in frontier areas like nanotechnology would have been laughed at. Today, the data confirms that this is the new geopolitical reality of science.
When we examine indicators such as SCImago Journal & Country Rank, StatNano, Web of Science, Nature Index, and the ASPI Critical Technology Tracker, Iran ranks among the world’s top ten scientific powers in several fields.
Global Research Ranking – Iran (Top 10 Worldwide)
According to consolidated indicators of scientific output and academic impact, Iran belongs to the global elite in the following disciplines:
•Nanotechnology: 4th to 6th place
•Artificial Neural Networks: 6th place
•Industrial Engineering: 7th place
•Aerospace Engineering: 8th place
•Mechanical Engineering: 9th place
•Analytical Chemistry: 9th place
•Surface Science: 9th place
•Energy Engineering: 10th place
(These positions come from a compilation the rankings of SCImago Journal & Country Rank, StatNano, Web of Science, Nature Index, and the ASPI Critical Technology Tracker.)
Strategic Breakdown (ASPI Critical Technology Tracker – 2025 Update)
The ASPI report shows that Iran not only publishes in large volume but also with high impact.
The country ranks in the global top 5 in six critical technologies, including:
Aircraft engines and hypersonics, where it competes directly with major global powers
Biofuels and smart materials, areas in which Iranian scientific production is considered world-class;
Nanomaterials and advanced coatings, directly linking basic science to defense and heavy industry
Smart materials;
All of this has been achieved despite international sanctions, which have ironically helped Iran become one of the fastest-growing nations in technology worldwide.
This progress is driven by an internal ecosystem of elite universities, such as Sharif and Tehran, that have turned isolation into a powerful engine of technical self-sufficiency.
Iran has reached a technological level where, even if it abandoned its current nuclear project, it could restart and complete it in just a few years.
This gives the country the ability to make its own choices and chart its own path.
The West needs to recognize the technological advances Iran has made over the past three decades.
Which Western nation possesses hypersonic missiles with short, medium, and intermediate range? Not even the United States has this capability with fully domestic technology, something Iran has already achieved.
In addition, Iran belongs to the select group of nations capable of manufacturing its own satellites and placing them into orbit using indigenous launch vehicles. However, Iranian technology goes far beyond aerospace.
Tonight, Talabib was attacked by Iran. Nobody expected that Iran had so many precision bombs still available.
Iran is putting up a credible fight in Operation Blind Fury. .
