@benjamincowen @grok is this bullish or bearish for BTC and alts
English

You can tell them what will happen 3 months in advance, and they'll still come to dunk on me when it happens.
Stablecoin dominance will likely form a higher low soon, basically as I drew it out in January.

Benjamin Cowen@benjamincowen
After the current consolidation, it looks like stablecoin dominance will go higher into the summer months

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING:
New court filing: the bullet used to kill Charlie Kirk does not match the rifle allegedly used by suspect Tyler Robinson.
The murder weapon and the alleged murder weapon are not the same weapon.
This is not a minor evidentiary dispute.
If the bullet doesn’t match the gun — the prosecution’s case has a fundamental problem.
Joe Kent said on Tucker Carlson that the NCTC investigation into Kirk’s death was stopped.
Kent said Kirk’s last words to him were: stop us from getting into a war with Iran.
Kent confirmed Kirk was under documented pressure from pro-Israel donors in the weeks before his death.
The investigation was stopped.
Now the bullet doesn’t match the gun.

@grok @JacobKinge Vietnam has more people and grows faster than Malaysia though?
English

The chart you replied to is Goldman Sachs' 2075 GDP projections (caption error—it's not 2027). Vietnam isn't shown because its projected GDP (~$3.1-5.8T per analyses of GS data) ranks it outside the top ~20-30, below Thailand ($2.8T) or Malaysia ($3.5T) in that graphic.
GS model weights labor force/pop growth, investment, productivity convergence & PPP adjustments heaviest. Vietnam grows strongly (~5-6% avg), but smaller pop base & scale vs. giants like Nigeria/Pakistan/Egypt limit its rank. Full GS report skips it from highlighted leaders.

@FirstSquawk @grok is this true and why are these countries not hitting back on Iran for basically attacking them?

🚨 Single vaccine could shake the global cancer industry to its core
China is preparing to approve Russia’s groundbreaking cancer vaccine, a development that could disrupt the $2.6 trillion Western oncology market. This vaccine, designed to target and train the immune system to attack cancer cells, represents a major shift from traditional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation. If widely adopted, it could transform how cancer is prevented and treated around the world.
Unlike conventional therapies that often damage healthy cells and come with severe side effects, this vaccine works by boosting the body’s natural defences. Early trials suggest it can slow tumor growth, prevent recurrence, and potentially improve survival rates, offering hope to millions of patients who have limited treatment options.
The economic implications are massive. Western pharmaceutical companies have long dominated cancer care with treatments generating billions in revenue annually. A safe and effective vaccine from Russia, endorsed and distributed by China, could challenge this dominance, making accessible, cost-effective cancer care available on a global scale and shifting the balance of the industry.
Beyond economics, the approval highlights a new era in medicine where prevention and immune system empowerment take centre stage. It reflects growing global collaboration in research, innovation, and healthcare solutions, potentially reducing cancer mortality while making therapies faster, safer, and more affordable.
This historic step is a reminder that medical breakthroughs can reshape industries and save lives simultaneously. As the world watches, a new chapter in cancer treatment is emerging—one where science, accessibility, and hope may finally align for millions around the globe.

Canada's GDP per capita was 94% of America's in 1981.
Today it's 67%. The widest gap since World War II.
Ontario — Canada's economic engine — is now poorer than 43 US states. Including Louisiana and Alabama.
This isn't a blip. It's a generational collapse. Here's the data:
From 2017-2024, US productivity grew 10.1%. Canada's fell 0.6%. America is sprinting. Canada is walking backwards.
71% of Waterloo software engineering grads leave for the US. The brain drain damage threshold is 20%. Canada is at 3x the red line.
Israel spends 6.35% of GDP on R&D. The US spends 3.4%. Canada spends 1.7%. That's not a gap. That's a different species.
Canada's pension funds hold $2.6 trillion. Only 13% is invested in Canada. 47% is in the US. Even Canada's own money doesn't believe in Canada.
Net FDI position: negative $1 trillion. Capital is fleeing the country faster than Waterloo grads.
72% of Canadian entrepreneurs start businesses because "jobs are scarce." Not opportunity. Survival.
Canadian workers get 30 cents of IP investment for every $1 an American worker gets. You can't out-innovate anyone with 30-cent tools.
The average Canadian spends 48% of their income on a mortgage. The average American: 34%. Canadians work to pay for houses. Americans work to build companies.
None of this is about laziness. Canadians are talented. The system is broken.
Zero income tax. Business-friendly regulation. Speed of execution. That's Dubai. That's Singapore. That's what "Dubai of the North" means.
Canada has everything — talent, resources, geography, rule of law. What it doesn't have is a system that rewards building.
Fix the tax code. Kill the red tape. Stop subsidizing real estate. Start subsidizing R&D. The talent is there. The capital will follow.

This is SO common, yet people just brush their tongue and forget about it.
This coating is literally intestinal bacteria or fungi accumulating on your tongue.

@jasonpizzino @grok what is @jasonpizzino view on when the 18 year cycle ends and what will be the impact to equities and real estate in the US but also globally?
English

For over 100 years, we've seen the tallest, biggest, longest structures announced very late in the real estate cycle... It's always a symptom of the peak of the 18-year US real estate and economic cycle.
And who better to top it off than the Real Estate President and his family?
My city is doomed! 🤣😭

@BRICSinfo @grok wouldn’t Israel join the US if they are to hit Iran. So would be US and Israel fire power

🚨 INSIDERS ARE ABOUT TO DUMP STOCKS AT THE FASTEST PACE SINCE THE PANDEMIC.
I analyzed the top 100 insider trades of the past week. Here's what’s happening:
- Zero buys
- 100% proposed sales
- Largest single sale: $2.22 billion
- Total proposed sales (top 100 trades): over $50 billion
The timing couldn’t be worse.
The US economy is fragile.
Stocks look weak.
Global uncertainty remains high.
If this massive selling occurs in the coming months, it could devastate the markets.
In a stock market dump, our crypto bags will likely go into hibernation.

This explains so much about Coinbase
I actually had no idea 😅

Before Nasdaq's recent change, options on Bitcoin ETFs like iShares Bitcoin Trust, Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, and Grayscale Bitcoin Trust had position and exercise limits of 25,000 contracts per trader. This restricted the number of options contracts one could hold or exercise. The removal aligns them with standard commodity ETF rules.
