@LawrenceLepard I think i need some more of those bitcoins

Stocks down 1.5%, soundly through the 200 DMA, and no safe haven bid in bonds. Alarm bells going off at Fed and Treasury. Cramer rant on deck?

@PeterMcCormack I’m working all f-ing hours trying to keep up as it is. Got a lovely letter about council tax as well. I’m not sure how much more can be absorbed.

Taxes will be going up again. What will Rachel come after next?

Confession time: I used to think Bitcoin was just a speculative asset. As far as I could tell, it served no real purpose. Sound familiar? Looking back, I realize that my view came from ignorance and a lack of empathy and imagination. I simply couldn't see what Bitcoin offered to people whose circumstances were nothing like mine. Sorry. In reality, Bitcoin belongs in the same category as the smartphone and the Internet when it comes to utility. But unlike those earlier innovations, it benefits people in the global South first, the West last. That order of impact explains why so many of us in the West initially fail to see what it does for us, and then wrongly conclude it does nothing for anyone. Bitcoin analyst @willywoo estimates 350 million people now use Bitcoin, with adoption growing rapidly. Here is a snapshot of who those users are and why they turn to it: 1.2 billion people are unbanked. Of them, 57% are women and 90% are people of color. 4 billion people live under autocratic or semi‑autocratic regimes, where governments can freeze accounts, track spending, and silence dissent through the financial system. In Afghanistan, 8.1 million adult women are legally barred from opening a bank account, starting a business, or earning an income because of their gender. More than 300 million people live in economies experiencing hyperinflation, including Turkey, Lebanon, Argentina, and Venezuela. These are the people who see Bitcoin’s utility first. It is not those of us in the West who take stable banking, low inflation, and basic financial access for granted. You might be asking: how exactly does Bitcoin help them? For the unbanked, it removes the need for a bank entirely. A basic feature phone and a small amount of education are enough to start receiving, saving, and making payments. Across Africa, we are watching a financial revolution unfold. The poorest communities are leapfrogging traditional banking and moving directly to internet‑native money. That is why Africa is adopting Bitcoin faster than any other continent. For people living under autocratic rule, Bitcoin makes it possible to transact without government surveillance, censorship, or the risk of having funds frozen. That is why Nigeria has become one of the largest adopters; human rights activism is a major driver. For women in Afghanistan, Bitcoin Lightning wallets offer a way around state‑imposed discrimination. They can and do use them to secure financial independence that the law otherwise denies them. For those facing hyperinflation, Bitcoin provides a means to preserve savings that might otherwise lose half their value in a single year. Look at the top 10 countries adopting Bitcoin: The top 2 have hyperinflation *7 of the top 8 were colonized and carry heavy IMF or World Bank debt *8 out of 10 are autocratic or semi‑autocratic regimes *7 out of 10 are in Africa, LATAM, or SE Asia For over half the world, Bitcoin ranks as the most useful technology in a generation.

@Artemisfornow Pretty sure we have more windmills than them 😁

How embarrassing for Britain. We can’t even defend our own bases. Now we’re an easy target for EU humiliation, while Labour crawls back begging for crumbs. I know… let’s throw £BILLIONS at climate aid instead and pretend we’re still a global power. 🤡

The UK's censorship agency, Ofcom, issued 4chan with a giant fine today. We responded to Ofcom with a giant hamster today.

He gets it 😎

@MartiniGuyYT Apparently it's all the rich peoples fault. Something about taxing them more. Then we could pay more people not to work 🤡

🚨THIS IS MENTAL THE UK WILL COLLECT £331 BILLION IN INCOME TAX THIS YEAR, AND SPEND £333 BILLION ON WELFARE IT NOW SPENDS MORE ON PEOPLE NOT WORKING THAN IT RAISES FROM THOSE WHO DO A BROKEN SYSTEM

@DaleVince As if the UK net zero bollox would make any real difference to the weather here. If you think it would help you are even more deranged than I first thought.

While Reform bang on about ’stupid net zero’ and do all they can to undermine the vital steps we need to take to mitigate the worst of climate outcomes - what do they say to this? Is it just the weather that causes record levels of flooding (drought and wildfires too)……and record costs to either repair or try to prevent. This is the other side of the equation, not hitting net zero has a very real cost - and it’s bigger than the cost of hitting it. Farage is a politician that will say anything for personal gain. He gave us Brexit and that turned out to be a pile of horseshite. Now he’s gunning for green energy, the cheapest, cleanest and safest form of energy we can make - not to mention the fastest. edie.net/defra-confirms…

@dan_N_smith @SheffCouncil @tomhunt100 Surrey is the same but higher. Awful

You’re a bunch of useless, robbing c**nts. @SheffCouncil @tomhunt100

@Ed_Miliband Stop net Zero FFS.

5 things we’re doing to help tackle the cost of living 👇

The Government will collect £331bn in income tax this year, and spend £333bn on welfare. In other words, we now spend more on people not working than we raise from those who do. And the cost? Debt per person has risen from £11.5k in 2000 (inflation adjusted) to over £41k today.

This is what Orwell warned his country about...

@Artemisfornow It's pretty depressing TBH

It’s not even 7am and I’m surrounded by incompetence. ▪️insane Net zero policy has destroyed traditional “virgin” steelmaking in the UK. ▪️The replacement electric arc furnace isn’t ready and that still depends on our massively expensive energy. (stop laughing at the back) The government’s BRILLIANT idea (this is sarcasm) is tariffs of 50% on imported steel. Making it more expensive. Er … The government is one of the biggest buyers of steel in the country. This policy simply increases the costs of taxpayer funded projects. And increases the price to businesses which will er … push prices up, raising inflation. It’s too early for this bollocks 🤡

@freddienew @bankofengland The stupidity knows no bounds. Shock horror that someone can hold their own savings. No no no, we will need control of that. 🤡

This is what @bankofengland think they can ban, when they say that 'unhosted wallets will not be permissible in the UK'. Two kids flipping a coin to generate a private key. Good luck with banning maths and entropy, team.

MUST WATCH: Robert Breedlove explains how $6 trillion of new money in 2020 equals 100 million years of stolen labor, or 2 million human lifetimes. One of the clearest metaphors for inflation ever given.

@kiritmagic Bro, this is epic. I need to up my game 😎

@Jenny_1884 Bureaucracy and government bloat

You only have to look around you to see that there has been nothing spent on this country for many many years. Where has all our money gone?

@Femi_sorry I’m gone how much VAT he pays. 🤔 Let alone get tax generated by all the people that have been paid to do things for the properties. Huge

Which refugee has EVER made a decision that cost British taxpayers £600,000? (Like Richard Tice )

@BrokenSkiesPG @BenGrahamUK 😂

@BenGrahamUK And the nuclear waste? The danger of accidents?

If we went all in on nuclear power we would light every home in the UK using the lowest cost per unit of energy in the world. Instead, we spent £700 million protecting fish at Hinkley Point. Roughly £280,000 per fish. You can’t build a serious energy system when the country is run like this.
