At the beginning of the war I asked a simple question, if you had to pay an extra $1-2/gallon for gasoline for a few months to ensure you would never be threatened with a nuke from Iran ever again would you put that extra money on your credit card?”
Before you answer, for the average family that amounts to $100-200 per month for 4 months. $400-800. For the peace dividend that you would never have to pay the indirect tolls of that threat (which compounds to your benefit every month in higher costs) FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE AND YOUR CHILDRENS’ LIVES.
Sit with that. Sit with thinking through all of the costs associated with what Iran’s conflict with the rest of the world were. Now ADD their people’s welfare to the global economy rather than their extracting a few hundred billion a year to fund terror, drugs, child trafficking, organized crime, etc. Think about who their real partners were.
Think about which countries were their partners and fellow travelers…
Those that turned a blind eye for the banking fees, or paid someone else the increased insurance which ended up on your monthly budget.
Once you’ve begun to get your head around that, then realize that you’re probably only mapping 10% of the real costs.
But my original question is exactly what just happened, and in the process we watched countries flip allegiances, come together to defend themselves, and others show you the limit of what they were willing to turn a blind eye to.
Trump’s brand of foreign policy rankles a lot of people. It destroys the carefully constructed mind palaces of others, and exposes the grifts of all of them.
When this period is over, it will be a new reality. It may even be a significantly better one. But that will be up to us, to accept that sometimes you have to punch the bully in the mouth to get him to shut up.
By Labor Day oil prices in the US will be back to where they were before the war, except in California who has been working with our enemies to shut refineries and collapse its economy. They will be a mess.
It will be OVER for normal folks. For those that see things clearly, this thing was over months ago.

You have repeatedly mocked BTCTCs saying, "Buy my stock, don't buy bitcoin." That's rich coming from a guy that loves to buy stocks instead of bitcoin.
Even richer when one considers your involvement in Ten31 - a VC firm that buys stocks, not bitcoin. A firm that holds equity on it's balance sheet, not bitcoin. A firm that is by its very existence more bullish on "products" (something you alone define apparently) related to bitcoin, but not bitcoin.
Further, I can only assume from your posts that no company in the Ten31 portfolio has a penny of debt obligations. That taking on debt to build a business is pure anathema. Or is it okay to take on debt as long as you build a properly defined "product?"
If you want to add to the irony, Mr. Stay Humble and Stack Sats also sits with you at Ten31 stacking stocks, not bitcoin and remaining anything but humble. Though, returning to X from Nostr is pretty humbling. I'll give him that.
It seems you would suggest preferred equities don't pass the "product" test. I would suggest there are many, many financial "products" that you might agree are valuable.
For example, if a company were to offer fiat lending against bitcoin. That's a financial product, right? Isn't that a product?
What if you got investors lined up and promised them some serious, bitcoin-backed yield in order for them to put up money to lend? Would those investors see that as a financial product you were offering? I bet the would - in fact they did, and they still do.
That looks a whole lot like what BTCTCs do by the way.
You don't like BTCTCs, we get it. You think they're mispriced and misrepresenting their value. We get it.
And you have some fair criticisms. Not all BTCTCs are created equal.
My point is simply, who is gaslighting who here?

The number one lesson taught in public school is that truth comes from authority, and the problem with that is propaganda also comes from authority. Take away a person’s ability to discern, and they could be lead to any conclusion.

Dear People Visiting the U.S. for the World Cup:
Much ado has been made about Freddy from Germany and other visitors from Europe, Asia and elsewhere delighting in quintessential American chain dining establishments such as Buc-ees and Texas Roadhouse.
Please allow me to make ten other American chain dining recommendations:
1. Go to Krispy Kreme and get a dozen Original Glazed donuts when the neon “HOT” sign is turned on in the window.
2. Go to Jersey Mike’s and order a #2 for an authentic Jersey Shore experience (“Tramps like us, baby we were born to run”), or get a #17 for an authentic South Philly experience ("Yo, Adrian!”).
3. Go to Chick-fil-A and get an Original Chicken Sandwich with Waffle Fries and a lemonade. (Don’t go on Sunday, they are closed so everybody can go to Church.)
4. Go to the Cheesecake Factory and order whatever you want, it’s the biggest menu you will ever see anywhere. They have everything. I’m not exaggerating, the menu is SOOO many pages. And get a slice of cheesecake—it’s the most decadent cheesecake imaginable, and all the many flavors are great.
5. Olive Garden. It’s not real Italian food, it’s some Americanized version of quasi-Italian food. Go for the endless breadsticks and salad.
6. Taco Bell. Order the Crunchwrap Supreme. Best at 1 a.m. while drunk. (Don’t drink and drive though—American police frown on that.)
7. Chain burger joints are contentious even here in America. Some are mostly regional: Shake Shack, Smash Burger, In-n-Out Burger, Five Guys (those are all great). Probably the best chain burger you can find everywhere in the USA is Wendy’s. Try the Pretzel Baconator with fries and a Coke.
8. Go to Dairy Queen and order a Blizzard. (It’s a dessert, get whatever flavor strikes your fancy. It’s a lot of calories.)
9. Breakfast? McDonald’s. Yeah I know you probably have McDonald’s back in your home country but there is something about a McDonald’s drive thru off an interstate highway that is quintessentially American. Egg McMuffin, hash browns and a coffee (tell them if you want cream and/or sugar, they will add it for you).
10. Buffalo Wild Wings. All the games will be on the many televisions. Get the bone-in wings with the Original Buffalo Sauce.
I’m pretty sure you’ll get a lot of recommendations from other folks on this post. Thanks for enjoying our country. We love that you love it.
Safe travels,
CP

You are top 3 OG bitcoiner who understands markets, btc , geopolitical change we are going thru & has the published receipts for over a decade.
If a pod interview w/ @TFL1728 on GGG is at all interesting to both, we would see a bridge of understanding unfold on both sides IMO

The metaphor of “sending” someone bitcoin is strictly inaccurate, and actually a bit misleading.
A new ledger entry is made, a transaction.
Keys that couldn’t sign certain valid transactions now can. Control of bitcoin shifts as the ability to sign such transactions shifts, but nothing actually moves. Nothing is “sent” except information, and it is sent to everyone, not the recipient of the value.
Control goes from one key to another instantaneously regardless of distance between key holders… superluminal “travel.” Which is why it isn’t really travel.
When the tallest person in the world dies, the previously second tallest person becomes the tallest. The distinction of being tallest “moves” instantaneously in exactly this way.
When someone changes the locks on my door, my key loses the ability to open my door, but no physical signal travels from my new door lock to my key, causing that key to fail to unlock the new door!
This is how bitcoin is “sent.”
Ok all you Bitcoiners knew that already.
But have you thought about how the metaphor is just as misleading for plain old bank money? Again it’s a ledger change. Nothing actually moves, nothing is sent. The bank changes who it owes. Claims on the bank are different before and after the change. But there was no literal sending of anything.
The difference between bitcoin and bank money is just over the control of the ledger, of course.
Again, you Bitcoiners know all this. Anyway, just a philosopher observing that we speak very loosely when we talk about “rails” for sending value. It’s all metaphor.
As soon as we left commodity money behind, it was strictly wrong to talk about sending value but we are so wedded to commodity money thinking we can’t abandon the language or the conceptual tooling. We have to imagine that value is literally the packets being sent (no—they are potential ledger entries or simply ledgers). We imagine a stuff zipping through tubes. (Back to the Internet as a series of tubes!)
When you send bitcoin you bestow a permission on someone else they didn’t have. You announce that publicly in a kind of canonical speech act with your signature to attest.
When you say “I thee wed” you do not send something to your spouse. You send a message to everyone that changes your relationship to your spouse, in the eyes of everyone at the ceremony.
That’s the kind of bestowal that happens in payments.

🚨 🚨 🚨 TRUMP REMOVED HIS MIC ON NATIONAL TELEVISION AND WALKED OUT OF NBC'S MEET THE PRESS — ONLY THE SECOND TIME A SITTING PRESIDENT HAS DONE THIS IN MODERN HISTORY 🚨 🚨 🚨
Kristen Welker flew to Wisconsin. Sat in a barn. In the rain. For an hour. This was NBC's flagship Sunday news program — the most prestigious interview slot in American political media. And Trump looked her in the eyes, called her crooked, and walked out on camera.
THE WEAPON:
→ Direct on-camera accusation: "You're crooked — just like you're crooked"
→ Rejection of the fact-check frame: "There's nothing but evidence. Tremendous evidence."
→ California primary attack deployed mid-interview: five days, no winner called
→ Moral authority reversal: "A country can never be great with a dishonest press"
→ The mic removal — physical, visible, on camera
→ The exit line: "I've sat in the rain with you for an hour. I've given you enough time."
→ Welker's plea aired unedited: "I traveled all the way to Wisconsin"
→ NBC's response: broadcast the full confrontation anyway because they had no choice
THE TARGET:
→ The adversarial interview format — the "just to be very clear, there's no evidence" rebuttal model
→ NBC's Meet the Press specifically — Welker's fact-check authority on elections
→ The premise that the interviewer controls the frame of a presidential sit-down
THE MATH:
→ Cost to NBC: months of scheduling, production, travel, broadcast slot, anchor credibility
→ What NBC extracted: a clip of a sitting president calling their anchor crooked on their own air
→ Trump's cost: one hour in the rain and a 60-second walk to the door
→ Distribution of the exit clip vs. any answer he could have given: not comparable
Read that again.
💀 NBC flew to Wisconsin to produce a clip of Trump destroying their anchor's credibility on their own network
💀 Every "just to be very clear" fact-check in that interview got met with "there's nothing but evidence" — and that's what aired
💀 The California primary — five days with no winner called — became his closing argument before the walk-off
⚠️ Trump has now demonstrated on national television that the exit IS the message — the clip of the walkout gets more reach than any answer
⚠️ Welker's plea — "I traveled all the way to Wisconsin" — became the moment that defined her, not him
⚠️ NBC aired it unedited on Sunday. The full confrontation. Because cutting it would have been worse.
They're showing you the meltdown.
They're NOT showing you what was actually built in that barn — a 60-second sequence that made the adversarial interview format look like a trap that only catches the people who set it. Welker came with fact-checks. Trump came with an exit. The exit aired on her network. To her audience. In her time slot.
You don't walk out of Meet the Press for a building. You don't remove your mic on the most prestigious Sunday news program in America for a warehouse. You do it when you need to erase something so completely that it can never be rebuilt — and what Trump needed to erase was the premise that Kristen Welker's fact-check carries more authority than his own testimony.
I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨

Martin, Marty, Dines all resources of geopolitical and bitcoin you can rely on to be helpful but this market report is an outsourced unthinking mishmash. You need much more understanding of how bitcoin & securities like MSTR STRC integrate the new American System. On your own!
