I am confident they have not. Fastest way to increase the defense budget would be to show evidence of hostile aliens.

Drive fast or be gay

This guy dedicates his entire channel to explaining his philosophy that being retarded is the best way to live life. He uploads a thirty minute video every other day about it He has 100k subscribers You can just do things

Kind of insane that you can just see all the trending coins on the LFJ homepage from 8 different chains and immediately ape into them without ever leaving This looks so much different and more advanced than the OG DEX we were used to top aggregator/terminal built from OG $AVAX team - $JOE undervalued here

If I get hit by a car the day before I turn 65 who inherits my fucking money

Almost no one is being honest with you so I’m going to be truthful. Yes Bitcoin is being captured by Wall Street and then it will be captured by the central planners and sovereign states. This was always going to happen if Bitcoin was ever going to be successful. The good news is that is the only way Bitcoin can actually change these institutions, from the inside. Kind of hard to be a Trojan horse If the enemy leaves it outside of the gate. Self interest will keep the core tenets of Bitcoin like the 21 million hard cap in place during this process. It is not until Bitcoin has marinated fully into the financial system, political system and culture that it will then be able to start eroding the power structures we so desperately want to see destroyed. Bitcoin is the long game.

"i wouldn't want to own risk assets here"

During my senate campaign in 2022, I met a Ukrainian-American man in NE Ohio. He was very angry about my views on the conflict, and my desire to bring it to a rapid close. "You are trying to abandon my country, and I don't like it." "Sir, I replied, "your country is the United States of America, and so is mine." I always found it offensive that a new immigrant to our country would be willing to use the power and influence of their new nation to settle the ethnic rivalries of the old. One of the most important parts of assimilation is seeing *your* country as the USA. It's part of the bargain: if you're welcomed into our national family, you ought to look out for the interests of the United States. I know many immigrants who have the right perspective, and I'm grateful to them. For example, I met many Ukrainian Americans during that campaign (and since) who agreed with my views, or at the very least, asked the right question: what is in the best interests of the United States?

What crypto is digesting right now is the end of the memecoin boom. The combination of Melania, Libra, and the Lazarus Group using memecoins to launder stolen ETH will kill it dead. Maybe not today, but within 6 months. The good news is there are already things ready to replace it, including the institutional adoption of bitcoin, stablecoins, tokenization, and a rebirth in DeFi. But until they start making their presence felt, the loss of energy will create a drag on the market.

February into March 2025 - My view. Understand the US government Crypto Task Force created 3 weeks ago the new FBI Chief, Commerce Secretary, SEC Chief Atkins and the full force of the US DOJ is coming for centralized exchanges, manipulative market makers and pump and dump schemes using high profile influencers. All of this will be cleaned up before any State or Federal Strategic crypto reserves are created. Bottom line. Before government enter digital assets they will clean shop. Centralized Exchanges are the root of all crime and corruption in the asset class and have been since day 1. Centralized Exchanges that are exposed to wrongdoing are dumping alt coins people, retail is of no consequence. They are clearing their leverage order book like a casino clears the bets on the roulette wheel and exiting bad loans they made. The honest ones will be fine, the bad ones will be running scared, selling liquid crypto, blaming Lazarus, and quitely leaving in the night. Crypto will be regulated and exchanges and market makers will be under strict surveilance. Influencer marketing, celebrity deals, and pump and dump perpetrators will be hunted down and prosecuted, they will be dumping all their liquid assets as they flee. This is the cleaning up of the asset class before mainstream adoption begins including: 1) State and Federal Strategic Reserves 2) Stable Coin Legislation 3) RWA Real World Asset Legislation What you should be doing. Hold quality assets, L1 native tokens, accumulate more at these glorious discounts and ignore the FUD. The pump will come and will not be manipulated and supressed as it has been by SBF, CZ, Bybit and the gang of offshore casinos. Patience and committment will be rewarded. Paper hands will be left behind because they never deserved L1 tokens in the first place.

This is moralistic garbage, which is unfortunately the rhetorical currency of the globalists because they have nothing else to say. For three years, President Trump and I have made two simple arguments: first, the war wouldn't have started if President Trump was in office; second, that neither Europe, nor the Biden administration, nor the Ukrainians had any pathway to victory. This was true three years ago, it was true two years ago, it was true last year, and it is true today. And for three years, the concerns of people who were obviously right were ignored. What is Niall's actual plan for Ukraine? Another aid package? Is he aware of the reality on the ground, of the numerical advantage of the Russians, of the depleted stock of the Europeans or their even more depleted industrial base? Instead, he quotes from a book about George HW Bush from a different historical period and a different conflict. That's another currency of these people: reliance on irrelevant history. President Trump is dealing with reality, which means dealing with facts. And here are some facts: Number one, while our Western European allies' security has benefitted greatly from the generosity of the United States, they pursue domestic policies (on migration and censorship) that offend the sensibilities of most Americans and defense policies that assume continued over-reliance. Number two, Russians have a massive numerical advantage in manpower and weapons in Ukraine, and that advantage will persist regardless of further Western aid packages. Again, the aid is *currently* flowing. Number three, the United States retains substantial leverage over both parties to the conflict. Number four, ending the conflict requires talking to the people involved in starting it and maintaining it. Number five, the conflict has placed--and continues to place--stress on tools of American statecraft, from military stockpiles to sanctions (and so much else). We believe the continued conflict is bad for Russia, bad for Ukraine, and bad for Europe. But most importantly, it is bad for the United States. Given the above facts, we must pursue peace, and we must pursue it now. President Trump ran on this, he won on this, and he is right about this. It is lazy, ahistorical nonsense to attack as "appeasement" every acknowledgment that America's interest must account for the realities of the conflict. That interest--not moralisms or historical illiteracy--will guide President Trump's policy in the weeks to come. And thank God for that.

CEX Update: As expected #Binance use the $800m $USDT they had issued from #Tether to start buying back the assets they sold to induce the flush. Their strategy to sell off their reserves, flush the leverage, induce panic selling, then buy it all back lower has worked for 4 cycles and continues to be the strategy. They are up in holdings: 3.52% $SOL 3.29% $WBETH 2.82% $ETH 2.21% $BTC 1.78% $BNB I will update this daily. #wearegoingup

Understanding the #Binance latest Proof Of Reserves. If the ratio is 100% this means Binance have exactly enough of the asset to back the customer accounts. If its over 100% they have excess reserves (corporate holdings). As we see they dumped all their $BTC, $ETH and $SOL to pay their fines, those are close to 100%. They have some excess $XRP they can sell but to manipulate further they would need to buy assets with their stable coin reserves. If we see heavy manipulation transfers they are using customer fund backing collatoral.

MM Update: Centralized exchanges flush crypto on the most bullish statements in crypto history by the US Government. Now you know. These institutions and on and offshore platforms do not care about their customers or crypto. They are here for the profits. Yes, they sell crypto, but they will be regulated to be fair, not trade against their customers, not manipulate the prices and be fully audited and have to be transparent. Their shenanigans are coming to an end. #cryptotaskforce @DavidSacks #endthemanipulation

Full capitulation brought to you by #Binance

Everything is playing out as it always does. Every cycle #Binance flushes max pain before the markup. Newbies panic, hodlers buy the dip.

Imagine having lived through the last 10 years--the desecration of Washington, Jefferson, Lee, Roosevelt, and even Lincoln--and then drawing the line at...Mark Milley.

This is a lie - the problems are ALL internal to the exchange. Blaming the blockchain is a lie. Move to @krakenfx they don’t lie and have engineered the best practice integrations with any asset they list while also holding reserves of the assets to support the sale do the assets. Read my post from yesterday and understand the hostile nature of this continued narrative.
