@PeterSchiff You keep saying tokenized gold is ‘much better’ than Bitcoin because it’s backed by real metal, redeemable, verifiable, etc.—basically the superior ‘digital gold’ while BTC is ‘digital nothing’ or ‘fool’s gold.’ But let’s be clear: when people actually go to tgold.com (your site), they’re not buying some magical new tokenized asset directly. They’re buying physical gold/silver from SchiffGold (your bullion dealer), storing it in vaults, paying your premiums/storage fees—and then maybe getting the option to tokenize that holding later for easier transfers. It’s the same old gold purchase from your company, just with a blockchain wrapper added on top for convenience. You’re not offering a standalone tokenized product like PAXG or XAUT where you buy the token first and it represents allocated gold. You’re routing investments right back to your core precious metals sales business. TGold is really just a way to sell more physical bullion under a shiny new digital label, earning you premiums, storage fees, and potential transaction cuts. People should know: this isn’t a neutral endorsement of tokenized gold over Bitcoin—it’s Peter Schiff the gold dealer pitching his own product line. Classic conflict of interest dressed up as economic wisdom. 🚀 vs. 🪙—but the 🪙 still goes through your checkout. #TokenizedGold #Bitcoin #SchiffGold

In a recent interview, @TimDraper said he prefers Bitcoin over gold because gold doesn't work as a medium of exchange because you can't shave some gold off your bar and order a cappuccino. Somehow Draper, a knowledgeable crypto investor, doesn't realize you can tokenize gold.

Question, for those saying we need to focus on drafting high character players, did Judkins have any history prior to the draft that showed a history of character problems? I am with you on being disappointed, and I completely agree about having a team with good souls. Sad we let Chubb go.

The #Browns are in no rush to sign rookie RB Quinshon Judkins or have him report by Friday as they focus on the No. 1 priority: clarity on his domestic incident ---> cleveland.com/browns/2025/07…

I would never walk into your store after reading this, your business won’t fail because of tariffs, your business will fail because you have zero credibility or likability. Never forget, Amazon is ready to suck up all your tears, and plenty of online parts stores are also standing by with tissues to help you through the transition of closing your business for good. You are a small business but that doesn’t automatically earn loyalty. You have to earn the respect and loyalty of your customers. Many have failed and few succeed.

@EricMTerrill1 Sounds like you need to work on your business skills. Step 1- negotiate with your supplier to share the extra fees (if that doesn’t work) Step 2 - Position your business as the neighborhood place that is not going to raise prices. Show your loyal customers that you care about them and keeping prices affordable. You say raising prices will cause you to take a hit on prifits? Why not sell as much as you can at the same prices and make the same amount of money while continuing to support your customer base. Position yourself above your competition by rewarding your loyal and valued customers. Market your small business as the one that doesn’t raise the prices.. position yourself to weather the storm and ride it out, rather than position yourself as the greedy business owner. Never forget, you compete with other businesses who can beat your prices online, and your customers will find them and build new relationships with them and never come back. It’s all a cost of doing business in America. If your model is failing, then buy American made products and evolve your product line. I hate complainers in business. There is always a solution. You’re just being a dick and your business will fail not because of the tariffs but because you are a business owner without vision

@lopp So basically the downfall of the euro is ahead of the downfall of the dollar by six months..

Bitcoin hasn't made a real all-time high since January 20th 2025. You're just celebrating the downfall of the dollar.

@novapilgrim *touchscreens and automation.. not automobile - I should have proofread

I remember at the age of 18 in 1998- I was making about $5.90 per hour working at a large car dealership as a lot attendant and my friends father told me about a job that paid $14 per hour at a factory. that sounded like a fortune back then.. and in reality in comparison to today, that wage was probably closer to earning $38-$40 per hour now. Amazing how raising the minimum wage never seems to help anyone, and hurts all of us, to help a few. How has that benefited those minimum wage workers at fast food restaurants that replaced half or most of their employees with touch screens and automobile? Now think about all of us being replaced by automation (eventually yours too, I promise) as the technology advances these next 10 years. AI, Automation and robotics are the new slave class. Everyone should start thinking forward not present. How will you ajust to the changing world?

It’s genuinely bizarre watching Boomers convince themselves that a couple making $15/hour at 7 Eleven can buy a home, raise family, and retire. They’ll go down as the generation that was chronically delusional

@VladTheInflator Sources please?

You want proof 401ks don't work? OK

So when the boomers are gone and their kids inherit their homes, what happens when the real estate market is flooded with an over supply of real estate for sale? The younger generations aren’t having children, so populations will crash when the boomers have gone. This is actually right around the corner since the boomers are finding themselves moving into senior living facilities and selling their homes year by year. At some point these houses flood the market. Does this create a real estate crash in the next 10 years? Something to think about.

Guys. Boomers in America hold roughly $85T in wealth. Billionaires hold about $7T in wealth. Keep that in mind.

@Crazymoments01 I just think of all of the microbiomes of organisms each time the rock smashed into the ground on its way down the mountain. How many people ponder how much life died to make this video? Humans are destructive organisms.

This thread will make your palms sweat A Thread 🧵 1. Don't open if you have a weak heart

@SalvadoranPride @EaMerino I would t even pay 1.4 million for this house in America. So boring. Just look at the landscaping and you can see the effort they made to stand out. Yikes.. not impressed. Must think bitcoiners from America have no taste

Would you pay $1.4 million for this house in El Salvador?

This should have never happened. And I pray for the electrical worker. Question- Where are the orange cones to block traffic or guide them away from using that lane? Who was protecting the working crew? Is this a failure on their part? I don’t think that truck driver was paying attention to that bucket because he saw no warning it was there.. I guess I would have to see the camera turned at a different angle to show what safety measures the electric crew had in place before I judged who is at fault

WATCH: Dashcam video taken from Livingston Parish, Louisiana on Wednesday afternoon showed the moment an electrical worker was hit by the top of an 18-wheeler passing under the traffic signal.  The video showed a man, who was working on the traffic signal in a lift truck, getting hit by the top of the 18-wheeler as it passed in the right lane.  The electric worker suffered only minor injuries and was not hospitalized, and that the incident was under investigation, according to Denham Springs police.

@pulte I enjoy seeing that we are moving in the right direction, but we still have a long way to go. We need to find middle ground.. maybe a third party neutral, legal escrow custodian or entity that will hold the bitcoin used as leverage in a cold wallet for both parties.

After significant studying, and in keeping with President Trump’s vision to make the United States the crypto capital of the world, today I ordered the Great Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to prepare their businesses to count cryptocurrency as an asset for a mortgage. SO ORDERED

What chat bot’s do you all recommend? I have been using grok for a while. I’ve used ChatGPT, and it was ok. What I like about grok is that it has access to current information via x. All others at least when I was using ChatGPT and claud were months behind in any current data for analysis that requires current data

I continue to use Grok less and less, and trust it less and less. Especially compared to literally every other chatbot out there. Am I alone? I saw a meme the other day that said the only people who think Grok is great are those who haven't used any other chatbots. But what do you think? Are you using Grok more or less lately?

@Bubblebathgirl This looks like the average high on fentanyl homeless person walking around any metropolitan city in the USA. Could it be more obvious that the homeless and mentally unstable people are being recruited to protest?

Man gets repeatedly hit with non-lethal ammunition repeatedly and doesn’t seem to care. What’s he on? This was at the anti-ICE riots on Friday in LA, specifically, at the federal detention center.

Before bitcoin is hacked, quantum computers will already have the ability to decrypt all of your passwords on the internet, as well as decrypt all your private data stored on the cloud. Quantum computers will already have your full identity, our bank account passwords including the banks secure Information as well, basically it will have crashed the financial system. So, when quantum can hack Bitcoin as well as disrupt mining, all cryptography and block chains will also be compromised. The entire stock market will have already been compromised and likely crashed, And if that’s not enough, military and government secrets are no longer secure. Not sure why everyone starts with this FUD

This is not to be shared broadly but I was approached by one of the major quantum companies and they advised me to stop investing in Bitcoin mining because with their technology it would be “relatively trivial” to mine all remaining 21M Bitcoin in 48 hours. May short all of them.

@Jbanklestankle1 Using animals would also save time and valuable energy involved with constructing a complete virtual reality and digital realm for the humans to believe they are a part of

So I watched The Matrix with my 11 year old daughter tonight thinking it would blow her mind. When it was over she said "why didn't the machines just colonize animals for energy to avoid a rebellion." I had no response

@CitizenFreePres When do we return to printing higher denominations of $500 and $1000 bills? A $100 bill is like spending a $20 in 1995.

SOLVING THE NATIONAL DEBT IS REALLY NOT DIFFICULT.

From Ohio, i work on airplanes, and I am on a fast track to retire in a few years. I am fascinated by our future and the AI and automation revolution. I feel that it’s scary, and I would love to never let it happen, but you cannot stop progress. This is also an arms race to master the technology first and have the best whether we like it or not. I follow so I can make money from investing in this revolution so I can make my money to retire.
