This war is arriving at the worst possible moment fiscally. The G7 has already spent the cushion that should have been rebuilt after COVID, and now faces a classic supply shock with limited room to absorb it.

@zerohedge disgusting

Great news! Congrats @krakenfx @jespow . It has been a long battle.

@phildstewart Insurance policies don't stop missiles though.

(Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump will review policy options on Tuesday aimed at controlling energy prices following recent attacks linked to Iran, including a proposal to help oil tankers transiting conflict zones to obtain insurance, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

@DeItaone Completely retarded analysis. There are much worse scenarios for sure.

TRUMP: WORST CASE IS THAT WE HIT IRAN AND SOMEBODY TAKES OVER AS BAD AS THE PREVIOUS PERSON

@DeItaone Starting wars based on 'feelings'.

TRUMP: FELT STRONGLY IRAN WAS GOING TO ATTACK FIRST TRUMP: BASED ON THE WAY THE TALKS WERE GOING

This is exactly what the market needs to see to start overcoming the quantum fud.

@alex_prompter Did they try it with Satoshi?

Holy shit… Your anonymous internet identity can now be unmasked for $1 😳 Not by the FBI. By anyone with access to Claude or ChatGPT and a few of your Reddit comments. ETH Zurich and Anthropic just dropped a paper called “Large-Scale Online Deanonymization with LLMs” and the results are the most alarming privacy research I’ve read this year. They built an automated pipeline that takes your anonymous posts, extracts identity signals, searches the web, and figures out who you are. No human investigator needed. Fully autonomous. Works on Hacker News, Reddit, LinkedIn, even redacted interview transcripts. Here’s how bad the numbers are. On Hacker News users: 67% identified correctly. When the system made a guess, it was right 90% of the time. On Reddit academics posting under pseudonyms: 52%. On scientists whose interview transcripts were explicitly redacted for privacy: 9 out of 33 still got unmasked. The pipeline works in four steps they call ESRC. Extract identity signals from your posts using LLMs. Search for candidate matches using embeddings across thousands of profiles. Reason over top candidates with models like GPT-5.2. Calibrate confidence so when it does guess, it’s almost never wrong. The classical deanonymization method from the famous Netflix Prize attack? Nearly 0% recall across every test. LLMs didn’t just improve on old techniques. They made old techniques look like toys. When they scaled to temporally split Reddit profiles, matching a user’s old posts to their newer ones across a full year gap, the pipeline hit 67% recall at 90% precision and 38% recall at 99% precision. Meaning even a year of changed interests and different conversations wasn’t enough to hide. More reasoning compute = better deanonymization. High reasoning effort doubled recall at 99% precision in some tests. As frontier models get smarter, this attack strengthens automatically. Every model upgrade is a privacy downgrade. What makes it nearly impossible to defend against: the pipeline splits into subtasks that all look benign. Summarize a profile. Compute embeddings. Rank candidates. No single API call screams “deanonymization.” The researchers themselves say they’re pessimistic that safety guardrails or rate limits can stop it. Their conclusion is blunt: “Users who post under persistent usernames should assume that adversaries can link their accounts to real identities.” And it extrapolates. Log-linear projections suggest roughly 35% recall at 90% precision even at one million candidates. Every throwaway account. Every anonymous forum post. Every “nobody will connect this to me” comment. It’s all searchable micro-data now. And the cost to run the full agent on one target is less than a cup of coffee. Practical anonymity on the internet just died. The paper killed it with math.

I don't know if there is an element of truth to all the ZH Jane Street narrative but this could trigger a short term shift in sentiment.

BREAKING: Global broad money supply surged +$13.6 trillion YoY, or +10.4%, in December 2025, to a record $144 trillion. This marks the 3rd consecutive monthly acceleration in growth. Since 2000, global money supply has risen +$118 trillion, a +7.0% compounded annual growth rate over 25 years. Since the 2020 pandemic alone, money supply has surged +$44 trillion, or +44%. The fastest increase over this period was recorded in February 2021, at +18.7%. Global money creation has never moved this fast outside of a crisis.

STABLECOINS GO MAINSTREAM AS PAYMENTS BOOM Stripe says stablecoins are becoming a core part of global payments infrastructure, no longer tied to crypto price swings. Stablecoin payment volumes doubled in 2025, even as Bitcoin declined, driven by growing real-world use in business transactions. However, current blockchains may struggle to keep up, with Stripe warning future systems may need to handle millions to billions of transactions per second as automated, AI-driven commerce expands.

$META - META PLANS STABLECOIN COMEBACK IN H2 2026 Meta Platforms is reviving its stablecoin efforts later this year, partnering with a third-party vendor for payments and rolling out a new digital wallet, according to CoinDesk.

Jane Street has a massive spot/futures pair trade on, and it wouldn't take a big crypto syndicate to do the funniest thing and force a squeeze on them, wiping them out overnight

Microsoft Research and Salesforce analyzed 200,000+ AI conversations and found something the entire industry already suspected but nobody would say out loud. every major model gets dramatically worse the longer you talk to it. GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, Llama. all of them. no exceptions. paper: arxiv.org/abs/2505.06120

@zerohedge Lol. All those 10am slams are going to have a real big payoff.

You'll never guess who bought the 2nd most IBIT in Q4

Nice meme. Straight from tax hell.

@joeroganhq Maybe it was that habit that fucked up his vocal cords instead of the flu shot.
