🚨 THE MEMORY CARTEL IS ABOUT TO FALL. Ex-Samsung chip boss says heavy Chinese investment in the memory market could crush the 414% DDR5 price spike within a year. Goldman calls it RAMageddon. Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron control 70% of global DRAM and pushed prices from $6.84 to $27.20 in 3 months. Now China is gearing up to flood the market. Cheap memory = cheap AI compute = the cartel cracks.

BAD NEWS FOR $NVDA. 🇨🇳 🇺🇸 First Beijing didn't want the chips. Now they're banning them. China just added Nvidia's RTX 5090D V2 to its customs banned list. During Jensen Huang's visit. With Trump in town. The chip was designed specifically to meet US export rules. Banned anyway. Beijing is making it clear: the era of Chinese reliance on US tech is over. Huawei and Cambricon win. Nvidia loses one of its biggest end markets in slow motion.

THE REAL STORY of the Silvergate Bank “collapse” is finally starting to come out, due to the SEC lifting its “no-deny”/“no criticism” restriction on SEC settlements this week. @jaredkate, Silvergate’s then-COO, has started to talk👇 & more of Silvergate’s side of the story will come out, no doubt. As @nic_carter has reported, Silvergate didn’t actually collapse; rather, it was purposefully demolished as part of #OperationChokePoint2.0 — and it stands pretty much alone in banking history as a bank that paid out depositors amid a bank run without sticking the FDIC’s deposit insurance fund with losses. I’d already learned what happened from a different insider who was at the table back then: the insider witnessed the Fed ordering Silvergate to de facto liquidate by ceasing to service the crypto industry, the “voluntary” announcement of which started the bank run. The insider named names, and a senior Fed official later asked for that list of names (note: many of the people have since left the Fed or no longer in senior positions there). I can’t wait for the interviews of Silvergate executives who previously couldn’t talk but can now. I hope @MaxfieldOnBanks runs with this — he did a big analysis of the Silvergate story a few years ago and figured out that the mainstream narrative wasn’t correct. I look forward to hearing more from the execs, who successfully liquidated a bank under extreme bank run pressures. Are you ready to hear what they have to say???
