@JeffTetz I’m sorry for your loss, Jeff.

Would have been fun to see had Maye been able to show some poise and march down the field on that last drive.

@ChrisLaBossiere I might start following you someday. My kids do and they may retire first.

1/ If you're feeling anxious about the economy right now, you're paying attention. Something fundamental is shifting. Not just markets. The entire structure of where value comes from and how money works. This thread is for entrepreneurs, parents, and anyone trying to protect what they've built. 2) Two forces are converging: AI is about to restructure which jobs create value. White collar, middle management, frontline tasks - all facing displacement at a speed we've never seen. And the monetary system itself is fracturing. Look at the volatility. Silver dropped 20% yesterday. Last week it climbed 30% in a day. Gold swinging wildly. Capital is looking for somewhere to go. Historically stable assets are in price discovery mode, and Bitcoin is in a war with two camps - those who look at it as an "investment asset" and those who understand it's a technical protocol that will soon be engineered into almost everything we do. A base layer like the Internet itself (another protocol). 3/ Here's what's actually happening: The old playbook - work hard, save in dollars, trust the institutions - is breaking down. Inflation eats your savings. Banks can freeze your accounts. Governments print money to solve problems, which creates new ones. This isn't conspiracy. It's math. 4/ So what do you actually do? First: understand that we're in a transition, not a collapse. Transitions create opportunity for people who see them clearly. Second: start asking better questions about where you store value. Not "what's going up?" but "what can't be debased, frozen, or taken?" 5/ This is why people are moving into sound money assets. Gold and silver. Land. And yes, Bitcoin. Not as speculation. As insurance. Bitcoin specifically offers something new: true self-custody. No bank. No government. No counterparty who can say no. Decentralized, trustless, permissionless. Yours. 6) I'm not telling you to sell everything and buy Bitcoin tomorrow. I'm telling you to understand what's happening: - AI is repricing which humans create value - Equity markets are in trouble unless you're in AI or hard assets - The monetary system is being questioned globally - Sound money is in price discovery mode 7/ When markets panic, loose hands sell and informed hands buy. That's always been true. It's just happening faster now. The question isn't whether this shift is coming. It's whether you're positioned for it. 8/ For my family, the answer is simple: Every dollar I can afford to save goes into assets that can't be printed, debased, or controlled by someone else. Self-custodied. Sovereign. Not because I'm a pessimist. Because I'm a realist who wants to protect what matters. 9/ If you're an entrepreneur or a parent watching all this unfold, my honest advice: - Learn about sound money (Bitcoin, gold, why they matter) - Reduce exposure to jobs and sectors AI will displace - Build skills and assets that stay valuable in the new economy - Don't wait for permission or certainty The transition is already happening. 10/ This isn't financial advice. It's a wake-up call from someone who's built and sold companies, watched industries get disrupted, and learned to read the patterns. The people who thrive through transitions are the ones who see them early and act with intention. You have more agency than you think.

@DLeBlancNB @grok What happens next?

Statement from the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, President of the King’s Privy Council for Canada and Minister responsible for Canada-U.S. Trade, Intergovernmental Affairs, Internal Trade and One Canadian Economy: “As the Prime Minister said this week, Canada and the United States have built a remarkable partnership in our economy and security — and we will remain focused on ensuring the future of that relationship will benefit workers and businesses on both sides of our border. There is no pursuit of a free trade deal with China. What was achieved was resolution on several important tariff issues. Canada’s new government is building a stronger Canadian economy, with a plan that is building our strength at home and strengthening our trading partnerships throughout the world.”

@ChrisLaBossiere Cold storage. Not touching. See you in the end zone.

@CANADA_FERG It's the end state. So it's really a risk allocation question. If it feels like a journey, your allocated wrong. I sleep very tight on my stack hopefully never having to shrink prematurely, because I need it for lesser things than my quality of life.

Can't imagine he gets there. The new global monetary base layer is evident on every possible metric. Nations and their "money" fails. Protocols are digital infrastructure. They will able to be the same thing again. Buy Bitcoin.

@ChrisLaBossiere It’s been a long hodl but I believe in the math and the inevitable M2 flood.

@CANADA_FERG It's clinical. When I need to tap into some "hodl" confidence, this fucker is my Jesus.

@ShaleTier7 @globeandmail So close. But at least they’re “trying” to report on (1) the west; (2) the energy sector; and (3) economic drivers.

@PolitlcsUK @Telegraph @grok If this were to happen, how much societal uprising would happen in Canada, and how quickly?

🚨 NEW: The Government is working with Canada and Australia to launch a coordinated ban on X over Grok Ministers believe it will send a "powerful message" to Elon Musk if countries do it together [@Telegraph]

My wish for 2026 is for every Albertan to watch The Thinking Game and to understand the exponential value of compute and @YourAlberta strategy. youtu.be/d95J8yzvjbQ

Liking this as a major priority, @AndrewKnack. It’s certainly been absent for a while. #GetMojoBack

@BitcoinArchive @grok what was the outcome of this meeting?

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 SEC to host a roundtable on Bitcoin and crypto today

@great_martis @grok what does the Canadian 10 year yield curve look like?

It would be extremely unwise not to pay attention to yields. Few understand what's about to happen. Even fewer don't.

@DrStanfordBlade KKKKKK/7

KKKKK #bluejays

@MPelletierCIO Not enough pain yet.

I’m pissed off. I wish more Canadians were too.

@ChrisLaBossiere You’re coming to my place for the 15 and 18.

@AirCanada Cost to me: $450 hotel night in Toronto $100 additional meals $800 non-refundable weekend plan $50 new shirt $1500 flight on competitor Cost to you: One million-mile customer

So good for 🇨🇦 and @TennisCanada.

@rainemaida @thehipofficial Brilliantly respectful. Wish it was the full video.

So hyped we captured this live! @thehipofficial honor to sing it.

Tariffs are not working. The U.S. trade deficit in goods surged to $96.6 billion in May, up 11% from April and 6.5% above expectations. Most problematic was the 5.2% decline in exports. Trump’s goal to reduce trade deficits while expanding markets for U.S. exports has backfired.
