Can Somebody help? Is 117K good amount of impressions in 5 days for a new account or am I doing something wrong?

Instead of just trying to build more power plants, Ireland should force data centers to become part of the solution. Require new and existing data centers to install significant on-site battery storage and participate in grid demand response programs. During peak hours, they should reduce consumption or even discharge stored energy back into the grid. This turns the biggest energy consumers into active grid stabilizers instead of just passive drains. The companies profiting from these data centers should help fix the infrastructure problems they created.

Big tech built so many data centers in Ireland that the sector uses a fifth of the country’s electricity. Now, Ireland is trying a new approach. on.wsj.com/4agb1Hm

Stop with the “just invest in the stock market” bullshit!!! Median U.S. household income is $75,000. Median home price is over $420,000. You need $84,000 just for a 20% down payment. That’s more than what most people make in an entire year. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 which everyone calls the safe, diversified option now has over 35% of its weight in just 10 stocks. We’re not in a normal market anymore. We’re in a system that’s become completely detached from regular people’s reality. This isn’t financial advice. This is just math.

AI is undeniably changing the job market, and it’s fair for young people to worry that some traditional skills are becoming less valuable. However, technological shifts have historically created new roles and opportunities even as they disrupted old ones. The key difference this time is the speed. Those who learn to use AI as a tool rather than compete directly against it will likely stay relevant and valuable. Simply crying about the situation wouldn't help.

"Young people were promised that AI would make them more productive, creative and employable. Many now worry it might make them less valuable instead," per FT

The islands are home to the strategically vital U.S. military base Diego Garcia, which serves as a key American foothold in the Indian Ocean. If this deal moves forward, it would represent one of the most significant territorial acquisitions by a U.S. president in modern history, with wide-ranging implications for regional power dynamics.

@WatcherGuru Elon becoming the world’s first trillionaire is wild. Can’t wait for him to use that money to buy another social media platform just to complain about it.

JUST IN: Elon Musk set to become world's first trillionaire when SpaceX IPO's on June 12th.

Presidents have always moved markets with their words, but Trump’s direct and frequent commentary on interest rates, oil prices, and specific assets seems to have an unusually strong short term impact. Markets are now reacting in real time to his statements. But long term economic outcomes still depend more on actual policy than rhetoric.

From oil to interest rates, President Trump has repeatedly moved markets in his direction. Whether that serves the economy is another question, columnist Greg Ip writes. on.wsj.com/4uhwOph

At its peak in early 2022, Total Value Locked exceeded $180 billion. It’s now sitting at roughly half that level or lower. This decline reflects several factors. Reduced leverage in the system, higher interest rates making on chain yields less competitive, and capital rotating into other narratives like AI and memecoins. While core DeFi infrastructure remains intact, user activity and capital commitment have clearly contracted from the 2021–2022 highs.

📊 MARKET: TVL in DeFi is down almost $100B since October 2025.

The last two times it reached similar extremes the early 2020 and late 2018 were followed by sharp market reversals. When speculative positioning gets this stretched, even small shifts in sentiment can trigger violent de-risking. The market is currently priced for very little room for error.

Risk-On positioning hits highest level in 7 years 🚨🚨

Most people are focused on the short-term pain from a potential carry trade unwind. But the bigger picture is that Japan is finally being forced to exit its extreme easy-money policy after years of distorting global capital flows. This could mark the slow death of the “borrow cheap in Yen to invest elsewhere” trade that has fueled so much risk asset speculation. If this unwind happens gradually, it might actually be healthier for markets long term than another round of artificial suppression.

BREAKING: The Japanese Yen just hit 160 against the dollar again, the same level Japan spent $73 billion trying to defend earlier this year. It did not work and The yen is back at 160. A weak yen is a direct inflation crisis for Japan. The country imports nearly all of its energy. At $93 oil, every further drop in the yen makes that import bill more expensive. The BOJ meets June 15-16 and is expected to hike rates from 0.75% to 1.0%. A rate hike in Japan matters far beyond Japan. The entire world has been borrowing cheaply in yen for years to fund investments in US stocks, crypto, and AI. When Japanese rates rise, that trade unwinds. Investors sell their positions and convert back to yen. The day after, June 16-17, Kevin Warsh chairs his very first Fed meeting. He is inheriting 3.8% inflation, $93 oil, and a jobs market running twice as hot as expected. Markets are now fully pricing in a rate hike by year end. If both the BOJ and Fed signal tightening in the same week, the liquidity that has been holding this market up faces its most serious test of 2026.

The student loan system clearly has major problems, with high default rates and many borrowers struggling under the current structure. Changes to repayment plans will directly affect millions of people and their monthly budgets. At the same time, these programs carry significant costs for taxpayers. Any reform needs to strike a balance between providing real relief to borrowers and maintaining long-term fiscal responsibility.

We’re already facing the worst student loan crisis in history: nearly 1 in 4 borrowers are in default. Now Trump wants to make it even worse. On July 1, he’ll eliminate the most affordable repayment plan and raise costs by as much as $4,000 a year. We can’t let that happen.

@cryptorover Bitcoin is always “cheap” until it goes up 30%. Then suddenly the new price becomes the new discount window. The cycle never ends.

BE THANKFUL YOU CAN BUY BITCOIN THIS CHEAP. Before the CLARITY Act passes. Before the first pro Bitcoin Fed Chair ever starts working. Don't miss this discount window.

@InTheAssembly Large interest rate gaps and strong underlying dollar demand often limit how much impact they can have over the longer term. Any move would likely be sharp but temporary.

Another intervention on the way? Last time USD/JPY hit 160, the MoF dumped $30B in one shot. Watch Japan next week.

@Barchart Ron Baron’s $30 trillion valuation prediction for SpaceX over the next 10–15 years is extremely ambitious. For context, that would make SpaceX larger than most countries’ GDPs and roughly 4–5x Apple’s current market cap.

Billionaire Investor Ron Baron says SpaceX $SPCX could be worth $30 Trillion over the next 10 to 15 years 🚨🚨🚨

@Cointelegraph ZEC adding $1 billion to its market cap in under 24 hours is a classic parabolic move. These vertical rallies often push RSI deep into overbought territory (typically above 80–90), making them prone to sharp pullbacks once buying momentum exhausts.

🔥 HUGE: ZEC added $1B to its Market Cap in under 24 hours.

@charliebilello These are mostly lower wage, lower productivity sectors. When job growth becomes this narrow while higher value sectors like Manufacturing, Information, and Finance are flat or declining, it often signals underlying economic weakness rather than genuine strength.

60% of the job gains in the US over the last 3 months came from just two sectors: 1) Health Care & Social Assistance: +198k jobs 2) Leisure & Hospitality: +144k jobs

@cryptorover Bitcoin’s current market cap sits around $1.3 trillion, compared to gold’s roughly $15–16 trillion.

NEW FED CHAIR KEVIN WARSH ON BITCOIN: "If you're under 40, Bitcoin is your new gold." The man now running the most important central bank on earth is pro $BTC.

Apple: “New AI-powered Siri!” Everyone: “So she’s finally going to stop playing the wrong song?”

@KobeissiLetter +516% since 2020 is impressive, until you realize you could’ve gotten pretty close just by buying the S&P 500 and then ignoring your portfolio like a normal person. No subscription needed. But hey, some people prefer paying extra to feel involved in the chaos.😑

We expect another volatile week ahead after Friday's sharp drop in AI stocks. We just published our trades for premium members. Since 2020, our calls are up over +516%. Subscribe below to see how we are positioned into the week: thekobeissiletter.com/subscribe

@Codie_Sanchez Some people genuinely prioritize the experience and memories enough to justify the cost. The real issue is when it's done mainly for social expectations rather than personal value.

My hot take... There is absolutely no reason why you should spend more than $5,000 on a wedding if you’re making less than $1M+ a year. I literally got married in a parking lot wearing a $150 dress from Anthropologie with roses from the grocery store… and I was worth a few 8 figures. The modern wedding is nothing more than a huge financial cosplay we’ve normalized for pure performance sake.
