$TAO looks in desperate need of a pump
A brutal year for Bitcoin is just getting started. Give me three minutes to explain why you should dump it now. Outflows from ETFs are signal and will continue. We will test the 57k low again in the next 12 months. Why? Because there are far too many dynamic places to put your money that are creating MUCH more value. Why put your resources into a dead network that offers nothing beyond a store of value? What's the point of place the BTC be if Bitcoin's Ponzi-scheme nature has gone away!?! The viral nature of bitcoin was it's power... if you didn't own you were MOCKED! Now? Completely reasonable, heck, SMARTER, to ignore bitcoin and place other bets! No one is trying to convince people to buy Bitcoin anymore... the memes and NFTs are gone. No one is saying $ BTC can change the world, because it won't — and BECAUSE AI HAS! Just sell and shift from Bitcoin to Super Intelligence because one provides little to no value, and the other provides unlimited upside for humanity. This should be obvious to everyone right now. Bitcoin will never break its all-time high again.

It’s incredible how politicians have distracted the masses by blaming billionaires while ignoring increases in the money supply.
Markets hate uncertainty and have likely bottomed locally after the Anthropic S-1. Also Elon’s comments make it more likely for a bottom
The market is going from historical levels of stock buybacks to record levels of issuance of stock. What could possibly go wrong?
Capital can leave a jurisdiction in seconds now, this is what authoritarian sovereign nations do not seem to understand
🚨NEW: HMRC's letter to wealthy Britons demanding detailed information about their financial arrangements has been revealed
A lot of AI infrastructure companies aren’t going to make it to the other side due to a lack of revenue or too much debt. If SpaceX merges with Tesla, it gets the $45B of cash. All roads lead to Elon.

Pretty much. As of the past few weeks, debt markets have almost entirely shut off access to money for any company that doesn’t have substantial revenue independent of AI data centers. SpaceX closed $40B of debt for GPUs, but we’re investment grade and have Starlink & launch revenue. That means the 200+ neoclouds are going to see guppy-level death and consolidation. Some will make it through, but not many.

Past Bitcoin drawdowns has made this current AI drawdown feel like child's play.
Time based capitulation is worse than price based capitulation
I dumped it all. The Maelstrom directional book, took profits on $ETH, $ENA, $UNI and other shitcoins. I think we gotta go down to go up. It looks a bit dicey out there in macro and geopolitical land. Going to sit on the sidelines and wait for the all clear signal … Brrrrr

Next stop for Gold breaking $4,000, is the 200WMA
The UK is largely a financial services country and it is in the process of getting looted by AI.
🚨NEW: Barclays is to cut 5,000 jobs that will be replaced by AI, saving almost 60% of its costs in supporting roles
If SpaceX is getting 8% on its debt, good luck to everyone else with 10%+ other than the top-grade hyperscalers.
SpaceX $SPCX is finalizing a $40 billion debt raise at sharply higher borrowing costs than its previous financing, according to Semafor. The lowest-rated portion is expected to carry an interest rate of around 8.3%, while a safer portion backed by AI chips could price near 7.75%. The safer portion is expected to price more than 1 percentage point above where SpaceX's existing bonds trade. The deal, led by Apollo and Goldman Sachs, is expected to be finalized next week.

The VIX isn't even at 20 yet, orderly sell-off
Let's see how quick these centralised traditional finance systems can upgrade. My guess: not quick
SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios. The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios. Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said. Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior. Read my latest for Axios here:

If scaled commercially, this could substantially increase gold supply from abundant mercury feedstock. eroding golds scarcity driven premium, monetary store-of-value appeal by pricing it closer to energy and production costs. AI is coming for all premiums

Last month, we demonstrated high-rate alchemy: turning mercury into real, stable gold, beating CERN’s record by a factor of 10. Last week, we enriched isotopes in the world’s most powerful plasma centrifuge, beating the Soviet record that stood for 40 years. Now, we’re building a fusion reactor in San Francisco to achieve record power density.

I do wish the Bitcoin bear market was deeper to have taken quantum more seriously. As soon as NGU, people are forgetting about it. It’s a real problem for capital allocators that want to come into this space

I hear a lot of companies and people trying to make money in tokenisation but the truth is only a few players will make the money in this space. But a lot of value will be generated.
