It looks Trump isn't going to change and his pride will destruct him and us again. Yesterday, he met with Pfizer and other big pharma executives at a private dinner. That only means Trump is going to push more bio-weapons aka "vaccines" on the world in the name of the next plan-demic, just like he did a few years ago. He also posted "You're welcome" on a 100K bitcoin price (how did the 95% of the people who voted for him benefit from it?) Same old, same old. Money and power for them, big rallies for the little folks.

I share your doubts if all of this is honest goods.
Between the swamp, MICC, DC bureaucrats, and the Federal Reserve, turning statesmen intro compliant pussies is a walk in the park.

How about replacing 0bamacare? Working American people are forced to pay like 5-15K deductible to get any benefit. Contractors can only get short-term insurance with pre-existing condition restrictions. But he and the Rinos won't change it, they don't care.
It's a banana republic and people like Trump who think a virtual and worthless token like bitcoin is even worth mentioning over the healthcare is pathetic. Obviously, Trump set up his own crypto a few months before getting elected, so it's in his business to promote the worthless garbage that benefits the few.

Good post, Tlum. I can go one up and simply say that this pile of shlt needs a revolution. Hopefully it will originate at the DC and be bloodless.
DOGE looks like a good beginning. Quoting:
Trump tapped Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to 'dismantle' the $6.5 trillion bloated U.S. bureaucracy by heading the newly created Department of Government Efficiency.
Working American people are forced to pay like 5-15K deductible to get any benefit.
Migrants - legal and illegal - are expensive. Excessive compassion, pushed mostly by women, destroys everything.

Trump is going to push more bio-weapons
Not very effective one...I was supposed to drop dead after the vaccine (and was given 3 years time frame by PF scientists). I and noone else I know died in the last 3 years.

How about every day people getting ultra rich on crypto because Trump is making it happen and getting rid of the SEC chair and ending all the useless crypto lawsuits they have filed and lost. Dont be angry about opportunity that you didnt take advantage of. XRP was only 45 cents a few weeks ago, its not just Bitcoin.

They get rich on stupid retail buying the hype. They create new useless crypto and sell it to the public. They don't buy the garbage.
What they buy instead is land, real estate, and gold - the real assets. During recession, the virtual tokens will go to zero. When people are hungry, those who own real assets will stay on top. Trump knows it, Gates knows it, Buffett knows it, Musk knows, Zuckerberg knows it, and all the other rich know it.
Have you heard of the rich and powerful buying worthless tokens? I haven't, either. But it is documented they buy tons of farmland and real estate. Should make you wonder.

Basically, any programmer can create their own crypto. Then it's all about the hype/popularity, but no matter how they try, it is still worthless. Imagine tomorrow Bitcoin is gone. Or all the cryptos are gone. Who would've noticed? Maybe 2% of the population.

How do they control issuing new coins?
This looks like a handshake money...You don't control the amount and can't sue if you lose it because some computer crashed and wiped all the acoouts out.
Can I buy anything with cryptos?

They turn off 3D printers when there is too much money in the market. Simple. I am amased you don`t realise such basic stuff known to kindergarten kids.

The US has reached the terminal level of insanity. Or am I underestimating the LGBT "nation"?
Google: Can transgender women get pregnant? and you will get this:
Yes, transgender women can become pregnant, but the options are limited by their reproductive system and the stage of transition they are in:
With a female partner
A transgender woman can provide sperm and a female partner can carry the pregnancy.
With a male partner
A transgender woman can use a donor egg and have a surrogate carry the pregnancy.
My head is still spinning...The mother fvckers at Google pretend that they don't understand the question just to say "yes".
My question was if a trans woman can get pregnant, not someone else...

Most crypto is worthless. There are about 50 that have actual use. Have you ever tried to move large sums of money from bank to bank or country to country these days? It is next to impossible and the fee's are crazy. I can move millions of dollars in less than three seconds with XRP, and it costs me a few cents instead of a $75 send fee and the other person having a receiving fee. No filing IRS documents, and no internal bank security issues. Try sending more than 100K from a US bank today and see what happens. Yes, xrp can be used across the middle east on a debt card to pay for gas, food, or just about anything else. I am using this coin as an example because it has real world uses and value. Still cheap enough for people to buy as well. Bitcoin is an "idea" it has no real uses, only some think it is a store of value. Crypto is the future whether you believe in it or not. Still several years away, but it is the future. Anything with over a billion market cap is worth watching.

You can pay with crypto in the Middle East in a gas station or supermarket ? I'm
Amazed and I don't think it's true.
I googled that but of course only got hits from various crypto shill websites
It's certainly not the future. When it goes to zero it will be painful for those who bought it, but they have been warned many times

reuters.com/article/technology/saudi-arabias-central-bank-signs-blockchain-deal-with-ripple-idUSKCN1FZ0LT/ Reuters is respectable and credible enough?
BRICS countries are using xrp as payments for oil as well. UAE uses it all over. If crypto is not the future why would the US central bank create centralized digital dollars? There are some crypto coins pegged to the USD to store value. I dont hink you know enough about crypto to comment. I am no expert but I have been trading and buying it for a few years, and have made a lot of money doing it.

That doesn't look like being able to go into a store and buy food or gas with crypto.
In fact you can't do that anywhere in the world.
I don't know much about crypto, but I do know that it has no uses in real life. Of course I have a right to comment on it

You obviously dont know anything about crypto. I have used xrp to rent cars and purchase items online. Tesla accepts crypto for purchases, and so do a whole lot of other business. In one of my business we accept some forms of crypto as payment as well. USDC, the official US Dollar Coin is accepted all over. No use in real life? I can buy a million in xrp, transfer it from the US to Poland in less than three seconds for less than a dollar in real cost, I can then instantly convert it to USD, Euro or any other currency in my coinbase account and spend with my coinbase debt card. Try doing that with a bank.

Great - I have a few thousand bucks worth of crypto and I hire cars a lot - let me know which hire company accepts that and I will try it next week at Warsaw airport
The costs of converting crypto into real money are high, in coinbase or anywhere else. Several percent in my experience. They make money out of crypto mugs (and they charge in real money, not crappy crypto)

Yeah - I know. To be fair crypto nonsense is worldwide - I think Sam Bankman and the other grifters are all based in the Carribean.
You can't buy a Tesla with crypto BTW, though you can buy a few accessories with "dogcoin" whatever **** that is

Daniel Penny trial jury can't reach unanimous verdict on manslaughter judge
I would pay to be on that jury and vote no fvcking way on any and all charges.
I would vote to give this great man an award equal to what we would spend housing the POS he had to tackle to save others.

Clearly the incident was racially motivated! Had Penny been black and Neely white,
there would have been those who'd have accused Penny of being a desperate criminal
rather than a hero.

The prosecution is racially motivated because the dead POS was black and the good guy is white.

Hilarious that even as you were telling me I didn't understand crypto, it crashed for a few hours. On top of that some no mark celebrity just wiped out 500m of "investor" money with some scam crypto.
But these are gamblers and not investors and so deserve no protection.
Just remind me which car hire companies I can use ?
