@RaoulGMI @_The_Prophet__ To be fair i see him acting as more of an introduction to finance for ppl. As they learn more they branch out and find what really moves the needle.

@_The_Prophet__ Hahaha... Dave Ramsey is so far from understanding what is actually happening. It's sad as so many follow him

⚡️“They told you to trust the institutions?” “Yes, Dave.” “And the institutions missed the trade, missed the labor shock, missed the inflation regime, missed AI, and missed Bitcoin?” “Yes, Dave.” “And now everyone is asking why the old maps stopped working?” “That’s right, Dave.” “So what should people follow?” “The signal, Dave.”

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO BEGIN REFUNDING $166B IN TARIFFS The U.S. government will start refunding up to $166 billion in Trump-era tariffs after the Supreme Court ruled the policy unlawful. From April 20, businesses can file claims through a new Customs system to recover duties paid under emergency powers. Courts found only Congress can impose tariffs, forcing the rollback. Over 330,000 importers across 53 million shipments may be eligible. Once approved, refunds—plus interest—should arrive within 60–90 days, though complex cases may take longer. Officials warn the process will be massive and complex, but payments will go directly to the businesses that originally paid.

@decodejar @MASTERBTCLTC @viresinnumeri disregard him deco, respectfully x.com/i/status/19622…

@MASTERBTCLTC @viresinnumeri Why?

Browsing through a load of altcoin charts to update, and well... most just look awful. So many past favourites are not even above their 2017 highs, let alone their 2021 highs. It's actually a really good time to cull down your altcoin lists. Conditions have been so poor for altcoins for so long now, it is easy to see the projects that are failing in plain sight, but the washout in low-quality projects is actually super healthy for the market. I am looking for some new coins to build Elliott Wave counts on, but so far it's a pretty short list. ETH and SOL get a free pass for having adoption. TAO, SUI and VELO look good too, but I already have counts on all of these. Aside from that, BNB, RENDER, XMR and XRP stand out as potentials, as most of these coins have managed to consistently put in new highs over time. RENDER is probably the strongest candidate as it also sits in that AI and DePIN narrative alongside TAO. I don't want to waste my time working on counts for charts that at best aren't performing, or at worst look completely broken. It takes a bit of time to build a count, so if I do it I'd like to be able to maintain it over the long term. You've heard the phrase, "Show me the charts and I'll tell you the news". Well, good coins have good charts. It's that simple. If your favourite altcoin has a chart that looks like ass, you should probably reconsider. All suggestions welcome!

@BorisJohnson Bitcoin is not a Ponzi scheme. A Ponzi requires a central operator promising returns and paying early investors with funds from later ones. Bitcoin has no issuer, no promoter, and no guaranteed return—just an open, decentralized monetary network driven by code and market demand.

@benjamincowen @AndreasSteno In that case you DEFINITELY have a different definition of business cycle. It should be comprehensive as opposed to separate from bitcoin being given 4 years as a magical gift from Satoshi. If btc is near all time highs this year, I hope you'll reevaluate. I will too if not tbf.

@DiogenesCrypto @AndreasSteno the four year cycle and the business cycle are 2 very different things. Sorry to hear you believe they are the same

Oil is up another 8% today. Remember the rise of oil in a late business cycle environment leads to the beginning of the end of the business cycle.
