@TaraBull808 Absolutely.

I'm genuinely curious. Do you find South Park funny?

@ryangerritsen I give it a week before one of the mental health workers has a mental health issue.

WTF? Chow is unleashing “mental health” workers to walk around TTC subway stations. Look how excited everyone is.

Pierre Poilievre says Canada needs NEGATIVE levels of immigration for the next few years He also calls for automatic deportations of newcomers who break our laws Do you agree with Pierre?

I'm impressed they can speak such lies with a straight face

@TaraBull808 Canada is already full. Sorry, but go find another place to mooch off of.

BREAKING: A Large Migrant Caravan Marches North to Mexico, Aiming for Canada and Europe, Not the Trump led US

@Callum_Thomas I've been a bitcoiner for nearly a decade...I feel nothing.

Does it feel like #recession to you personally?

@JeffSnider_EDU Bitcoin enters the chat...

The Fed’s About to Do Something Big (Here’s Why It Matters) Last Friday’s jobs report wasn’t just “bad.” It was the kind of bad that forces the Federal Reserve to admit they’ve been wrong. And now? The odds are skyrocketing that they’ll cut 50 basis points at the September meeting, the same playbook they ran last year when labor data tanked. Why should you care? Because when the Fed starts cutting, they usually don’t stop. Think Pringles, once they pop, the rate cuts keep coming. That means: Cheaper borrowing costs (in theory) Signals of deeper economic weakness (in reality) Big moves in gold, bonds, and other safe-haven assets Speaking of gold… it’s been quietly holding near record highs for months. That’s not random, markets are betting on lower rates and a weaker economy. But here’s the problem: gold is a great store of value, not a great medium of exchange. You can’t swipe it at the grocery store… unless you use GlintPay. With GlintPay, you can: ✅ Buy and hold allocated physical gold (stored in a Brinks vault) ✅ Spend it anywhere Mastercard is accepted, groceries, flights, dinners ✅ Keep ownership of your gold until the moment you use it It’s gold as money, again. Download GlintPay in your app store, use referral code SNIDER, and see how they’re rebuilding trust in money one gram at a time. All the details and more about Glint are at partner.glintpay.com/eurodollar/. Don’t miss out!

@apsk32 @w_s_bitcoin Waaaaaaaaaaay lower

@w_s_bitcoin These numbers will trend lower over time.

How are you doing relative to your age group? US Net Worth in Bitcoin.

🇪🇹 ETHIOPIA JUST ANNOUNCED THEY EARNED $200 MILLION FROM MINING #BITCOIN IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS THIS IS WILD!!!

SAMSON MOW: “it’s not gonna be a gradual slow increase to $1 million a Bitcoin, but rather a very short and violent upheaval that sends us there in a matter of weeks to months.”

There you have it, from the mouth of the president of the European Central Bank To reassure people about the digital euro, she cites China as a "success story" and says explicitly that EU is following China's lead on Centralized Digital Currency. Here's why this matters that they are explicitly copying China's model: China's Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), the e-CNY, gives the People's Bank of China for the first time the surveillance powers to track all citizens' financial transactions in real-time. Because their CBDC records every transaction, this gives the government detailed visibility into every citizens' financial activities. All larger transactions are traceable under laws like the Cybersecurity Law. This capability gives Chinese authorities the power to ❌monitor and control behavior ❌track spending to identify dissenters ❌enforce social compliance via the social credit system ❌restrict funds for critics The technology makes mass surveillance and (further) erosion of civil liberties technologically possible, while providing Chinese authorities a tool for the state to exert unprecedented control over its population. ECB will say "Well, in theory that's true, but we will only use that ring of power to do good for the world" If you are feeling uncomfortable with that level of power, you are right to trust your instinct. Computer science says this is bad technology design because historically, potentials to abuse centralized power granted by technology have been used, and the only way to safeguard people against abuse is to have good technology design that makes this algorithmically impossible. This is something that Bitcoin does, whereas CBDCs open up exponentially more potential for abuse of central power than currently exists. So if you trust ECB to be an positive outlier, are comfortable disregarding good technology design principles designed to keep people safe, and trust your government and Central Bank to have all that power - but not to use it, then you have nothing to be concerned about.

In Canada, seniors need their home equity for retirement and the young need to borrow from their retirement (rrsp) to buy a home. Seems like a stable and efficient system.

The fertility crash is a monetary crash. Fiat isn’t harmless paper; it’s demographic neutron dust. Opt out. Stack sound money, build families - not Ponzi portfolios. Give civilization a future.

@TaraBull808 Bangkok

What’s the worst city you’ve ever been to?

@bitcoinnews It's capital gains taxes. No one wants the tax hit. Fix that and transactions will fly

Bitcoin’s mempool is almost idle: ~5 k txs today vs >200 k at last year’s peak. Fees now supply <0.5 % of miner revenue. At record prices, on-chain traffic is near cycle lows. Has BTC shifted from “payments network” to a digital savings vault and what funds miners post-halving if activity stays this quiet? 🧐

Welcome to dystopia. Women 'asked' to remove T-shirts with 'Free Palestine' printed on them.

Men will literally start their own political party rather than study Bitcoin.

With all the talks of Canadian content, I have no idea why there are no shows showcasing the beauty of Canada. I could film all day stunning destinations here and not run out of places. Yes many require planning to get to but many so accessible. A few waterfalls from today:
