Crypto stocks. We may be headed full-on to a Snow Crash cyber-punk future with no long-term personal relationships and digital value embedded in all of us directly correlated to the value provided to a society that increasingly devalues humanity. This may be the point in time that needs to be stopped from going forward by some future being. #snowcrash#

Ray Dalio: Rising Debt Risks Require More Gold and Bitcoin Exposure Bridgewater founder Ray Dalio said recent moves in the U.S. Treasury market reflect the late stage of a “Big Debt Cycle,” with rising debt supply, weaker demand for government bonds, and growing pressure on currencies. He warned that if debt burdens continue to rise, governments may be forced to choose between higher interest rates that hurt the economy or central bank money creation that devalues currencies. Dalio noted that U.S. federal debt has reached about $32 trillion, with annual interest payments around $1 trillion, and projected debt could rise to $55–60 trillion over the next decade without major adjustments. He recommended reducing exposure to bonds and increasing allocations to assets such as gold and a small amount of Bitcoin as protection against debt and currency devaluation risks.

What if the system quietly devalued everything you saved? On @GammaSummit, our executive chairman and co-founder @ysiu argues that quantitative easing functions as a form of wealth transfer - one that hits younger generations hardest, pricing them out of real assets while their cash loses value. His point: this isn't accidental, and blockchain offers a structural alternative. The conversation also covers how digital assets and NFTs serve as a gateway to financial literacy, teaching the fundamentals of value, trading, and diversification in ways traditional education can't.

JUST IN: Dan Morehead says Bitcoin benefits if Fed lets the dollar devalue or raises interest rates. CNBC host gets utterly mad and fails to comprehend it. Incredible to watch!

The problem with the "AI slop" narrative is that people can't reliably distinguish good AI work from professional human output anymore. So anything that looks too good is now becoming suspect. That won't protect human artists. It will devalue their work too.

The two banknotes below may look identical, but there is a small and very important difference. The banknote on top is a Silver Certificate from 1935. It promises "One dollar in silver payable to the bearer on demand." The bottom one promises just "One dollar", which can be printed at will. Many don't know that Silver Certificates were the primary form of currency for much of the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the U.S. Around the mid-20th century, the amount of silver and silver dollars in the Treasury declined, threatening the actual backing of these certificates. In 1963, Congress decided to end their issuance. To compensate for the loss, Federal Reserve Note production and issuance were expanded, resulting in the bottom banknote we still use today. Such silver backing gave comfort to the public that their currency would not be devalued, as it was backed by hard money. Otherwise, a government can easily print money and devalue its currency to fund say foreign wars, pre-election welfare programs, or simply close a large deficit gap. It is a great reminder that the current fiat period we live in is an anomaly for most of modern human history. This Silver Certificate is part of my personal collection. I have been collecting old banknotes, share certificates, and bonds for many years because I believe they are critical to understanding the history of money, which in turn allows us to better imagine the future of money and finance. I will try to share more pieces from my collection and similar history of money soundbites over the coming months!

Speaker Mike Johnson says Congress will move fast on legislation to end birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants and birth tourists!!! During a Sunday interview, the Speaker pointed to Justice Clarence Thomas’ dissent and said the 14th Amendment’s original intent was to strengthen and value citizenship — something he argued has been badly devalued by rampant birthright tourism. He called the current system a threat to the rule of law and national security. Johnson made clear they are looking at every option and will advance a legislative fix immediately if one exists. This is long overdue. American citizenship should not be treated as a loophole for illegal entry or a tourism package. Pass this along so more people see that real action on protecting citizenship is finally being taken. 💪🇺🇸 #BirthrightCitizenship# #AmericaFirst#

On April 5, 1933, amid the depths of the Great Depression, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 6102, requiring Americans to turn in most privately held gold coins, bullion, and gold certificates to the Federal Reserve. The government paid $20.67 per ounce, while limited exemptions existed for small amounts of gold, certain collectors’ coins, and industrial or artistic uses. The order was designed to stop gold hoarding, stabilize the banking system, and give the federal government greater flexibility to expand the money supply during the economic crisis. Those who refused to comply faced severe penalties, including substantial fines and possible prison sentences. The policy remains one of the most controversial economic actions in American history. Supporters argue it helped combat deflation and restore confidence in the financial system, while critics view it as an extraordinary expansion of federal power over private property. The restrictions on private ownership of most gold remained in place for decades before being lifted in 1974. Executive Order 6102 fundamentally changed the relationship between Americans, gold, and the nation’s monetary system. By concentrating gold reserves under federal control, the government gained greater ability to expand the money supply and eventually devalue the dollar against gold, actions intended to stimulate the economy during the Great Depression. The policy influenced banking, monetary policy, and public confidence for decades, becoming a lasting example in debates over emergency presidential powers, private property rights, and how far governments should go when responding to severe economic crises. #archaeohistories#

In 2023, 108 leftwing economists said Javier Milei would fail. In a much hyper letter, the economists denounced the radical Laissez Faire programme as "fraught with risks that make them potentially very harmful for the Argentine economy." They were, we now know, wrong. The critics listed a number of concerns. A major reduction in government spending would increase poverty and inequality, privatisation would reduce access to services for the poor and dollarization of the economy would cause inflation and a decline in real wages. What actually happened? Despite the warnings, Milei has pursued his agenda without compromise. Government enterprises are being privatised, the state is rolled back, public sector jobs are being cut and markets are freed up. Real terms government spending was 27 percent lower in 2025 than in 2023. Argentina achieved its first budget surplus in 15 years in 2024, and repeated the feat in 2025, despite cutting several targeted taxes on agriculture, exports and energy investment. But the predicted adverse consequences have not materialized. Inflation is down from more than 200% to around 33%, and price rises in 2026 promises to be the lowest in a decade. After an initial recession in 2024, growth rebounded sharply in 2025, and the first quarter of 2026 saw 2.3% year-on-year growth. While public sector wages have been subject to austerity measures, private sector wages have kept up with or even outpaced inflation. After an initial spike, poverty has fallen from 42% to 28%. Axing rent control laws led to a tripling of available apartments in Buenos Aires and real terms rents fell by 30%. It has not all been smooth sailing. The Peso has been devalued, but not fast enough to offset still high inflation. Managing the overvalued currency has put a strain on the Central Bank’s currency reserves. Still, despite the expensive Peso, the trade balance has gone from -$6.7bn in 2023 to an $11bn surplus in 2025, driven by agricultural exports and less reliance on energy imports. There has been issues with access to services. Spending cuts have meant deteriorating conditions in public hospitals and schools, and though the effects are partly offset by the drop in the poverty rate, this has adversely affected the poorest. Milei warned during his campaign that "in the short term, the situation will worsen, but then we will see the fruits of our efforts." Milei has put the Argentine economy on libertarian shock therapy, and the results are proving his critics wrong.
