The “Boom Belt” is basically America’s new economic engine.
11 states:
Alabama
Arkansas
Florida
Georgia
Louisiana
Mississippi
North Carolina
Oklahoma
South Carolina
Tennessee
Texas
Together, these states would have the 3rd largest GDP in the world.
They’re responsible for around 70% of U.S. population growth and 57% of all new jobs.
Even without Texas, these 10 states had a combined ~$5.93T GDP in 2025 (BEA). Per capita ranges from Mississippi’s $55,877 (on par with or above UK/France/Germany levels in recent data) to Georgia’s $81k+. All far exceed developing-nation benchmarks. Florida alone tops $1.8T. Advanced industries, infrastructure, and strong population/job growth define the group—not Third World status. Texas amplifies the Boom Belt, but the core strength remains.

🔥THE iPHONE PROVES TECHNOLOGY IS DEFLATIONARY AND YOU ARE A SLAVE🔥
In 2016, Apple launched the iPhone 7 at $649.
Bitcoin was $606.97.
That means the iPhone 7 cost:
106,924,560 sats.
Today, Apple sells the iPhone 17 for $829 if you buy it unlocked without the carrier activation clown coupon.
Bitcoin is around $63,199.
That means the iPhone 17 costs:
1,311,730 sats.
So in dollars, the iPhone got 28% more expensive.
In Bitcoin, the iPhone got 98.8% cheaper.
Read that again before some adult daycare economist tells you inflation is caused by greed, weather, vibes, shipping lanes, Putin, your grocery choices, or the cashier at Wendy’s making $16 an hour.
The iPhone got insanely better.
Better camera, better battery, better screen, better chip, better storage.
Better everything.
And against Bitcoin, it collapsed in price by 81x.
This is what technology is supposed to do.
It makes things better and cheaper.
Fiat interrupts that process by forcing you to measure abundance with a melting ruler operated by debt addicts in government buildings.
You are mad because your money is getting clinically lobotomized while Apple ships pocket supercomputers and the ruling class tells you to finance it over 36 months like a peasant with Face ID.
The iPhone did its job. Bitcoin did its job.
The dollar showed up drunk, late, and somehow still demanded credit.
EVERYTHING GETS CHEAPER WHEN BITCOIN IS YOUR MONEY:
MICROSOFT WARNS OF NEW MALWARE STEALING BITCOIN SEED PHRASES AND HIJACKING WALLET ADDRESSES
Microsoft has identified a new strain of malware, dubbed “CryptoBandits,” that has been infecting Windows PCs since February and specifically targeting Bitcoin and other crypto wallets.
The attack begins with an infected USB stick. When a user clicks a malicious shortcut file, a worm installs itself on the computer and quietly goes to work.
The malware continuously monitors the Windows clipboard, looking for Bitcoin seed phrases, private keys, and wallet addresses. If it detects a seed phrase or private key, it sends the information to attackers through the Tor network while also capturing screenshots of the victim’s screen.
Even more dangerous, the malware can silently replace a copied Bitcoin address with an attacker-controlled address before a transaction is sent. The victim believes they are sending funds to the intended recipient, but the Bitcoin is redirected to the attacker instead.
The worm also spreads itself automatically. When a clean USB drive is connected, it infects the drive by disguising malicious shortcut files as ordinary documents, PDFs, spreadsheets, and other files, allowing the malware to jump from computer to computer.
The incident is another reminder that self-custody comes with responsibility. Hardware wallets protect private keys, but users should never enter seed phrases on internet-connected computers and should always verify recipient addresses on the hardware wallet screen before sending Bitcoin.
Microsoft recommends disabling USB AutoRun, blocking shortcut file execution from removable drives, and restricting Windows script hosts to reduce exposure.
Self-custody doesn’t have to be complicated.

Two days ago the Senate voted 89 to 10 to ban a government digital dollar. Today the Treasury proposed forcing every stablecoin company to file your ID with the federal government
This is the first GENIUS Act rule out of FinCEN, and it does the exact job the CBDC was supposed to do. A "Permitted Payment Stablecoin Issuer Customer Identification Program" drops Circle and Tether under the Bank Secrecy Act and orders them to verify, log, and report who holds the digital dollar. No central bank coin required. The surveillance just arrives wearing a private logo.
The dollar going digital was never the threat (its already mostly digital). The dollar becoming a permission slip was. Whether the form says Federal Reserve or USDC at the top changes nothing about who can freeze your balance or watch where it moves.
There is one digital money that cannot run a customer identification program, because no company stands between you and it. You hold the keys. There is no issuer to subpoena, no account to flag, no balance anyone can switch off.
Not your keys, not your coins was never a slogan. It is the only opt-out the rulebook forgot to close.
Been reading about how amazing the new Midjourney scan is all day
What was hidden in the article is that it’s all built on $BFLY technology
That’s why it was up 50% today
And probably still has a LOT of room as this rolls out everywhere
I called out the $BFLY platform as one that could be licensed in the opinion piece at $1.80 but this is beyond my expectations
Congrats Team Shardi holders🎉🥳
Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.

Ethiopia are already using the grid stabilizing and stranded energy monetizing features of Bitcoin mining as part of the solution to make power outages less frequent. Who will be next?

RELEASE THE NAME! The people must know!
Six years ago, Josh Smith was making knives in a garage in Missoula. Today, @Montanaknifeco is operating out of a 51,000-square-foot manufacturing facility, employing more than 100 people, and proving that American manufacturing is alive and well.
Josh is one of the finest bladesmiths on earth, but what impresses me most is what he's built—and the jobs he's created along the way. Thanks to sales of The Rocker, MKC has already raised nearly $200,000 for our Work Ethic Scholarship Program. I'm grateful he's chosen to support mikeroweWORKS.
Now he's doing it again with this limited-edition Traditions knife.
If you're looking for a great blade from a great American company that supports the skilled trades, here's your chance.
First come, first served. Quantities are limited. Tonight at 7:00 PM MT.
You know you want what's in the box.
