The Future Sound of

@RaoulGMI Raoul, where are you? You finger-blasted the entire top with your banana and now everything is blown up, you're nowhere. No drinks with Raoul, no charts, no guidance. What are your thoughts now? What action are you taking. We need you in the downturn too.

@RaoulGMI Raoul, you've gone a bit quiet on us. No more Drinks With...? We need a bit of guidance out here. Is the 5 year liquidity cycle play still on? What are you seeing and what action, if anything, you taking right now. Consider this a sentiment check - it's bad out here!

@mrdanwalker Yawn. Company man twaddle.

And that… is loyalty What a brilliant series. Stop writing articles about the show losing its polish. It’s just good telly. #TheTraitors

@ErikVoorhees Except nobody is actually asking for the latter and this is a strawman comparison you're better than, Erik. Might we be able to agree that if one has some right-of-centre views you're not Hitler and if you have some left-of-centre views you're not Mao?

Voluntary cooperation among rugged individuals vs Compulsory consignment among serfs of state Liberty vs Coercion The major deterministic theme of civilization rests on this dichotomy.

@iamtomskinner I'm not saying the sun rising and setting after I got voted off Strictly for being shite was anything to do with me, I'm just saying it's very coincidental. Just saying it's a coincidence Mercury's orbit has precessed by 1 arcsecond since I left Strictly. Prat.

As most of you will have seen in the papers, I won’t be at the final of Strictly Come Dancing tonight. First thing I wanna say is this…. I spoke with my lovely dance partner, Amy Dowden to make sure she was okay with me not attending. She’s a good person and a good friend now, I’d never let her down. When I got given the opportunity to do Strictly back in April, I was buzzing. Not because I can dance…. I can’t. But because i really wanted to test myself and Learn something completely out of my comfort zone. On the night I left the show, I received an anonymous email claiming to be from a BBC exec with stats, saying I’d received far more votes than it appeared and it wasn’t right. I’ve since had the email independently verified. That same email mentioned the BBC was very angry an nervous simply because I had met JD Vance (USA VICE PRESIDENT). Let me be clear, I’m not a political bloke. Never have been. I just love my country and am patriotic. I’ve been made out by the press to be this political figure. If anyone was to get an opportunity like what I did, they would have taken it. I still think it is mad that a man like me who sells mattresses out of a van can call someone that senior in the world’s politics a friend now. I have asked to see the official voting figures to back up the ones I was sent in the email but was told they couldn’t be shown to me. And have never been shown in the history of the show. I have spoke about the email I had received to senior people and the BBC welfare team, who btw I genuinely respect. And they was the ones who advised me to get legal advice because of how unfair it all was. (This was not my idea) There were also smaller things that added to the feeling. Everyone received a welcome gift on the show….. skincare bits, face masks, that sort of thing. Mine was the only one that “Got Stolen” apparently. On its own, it’s nothing…. but added to everything else, it felt strange. I have been made out to be someone I actually am not simply because I took part in this show. The views were formed from media stories over the summer that simply wasn’t true or exaggerated. It ain’t fair what has happened to me and my family. I also want to say this carefully. After receiving this information and having it verified, a very senior BBC figure has since resigned. I’m not saying that had anything to do with me, but it did feel bizarre. Also the main hosts stepped down the following week. Again, I’m not saying it has anything to do with me. It’s just all very coincidental. I’m just being honest. I didn’t want any of this in the press either. A lot of what’s been written has been exaggerated or untrue about me and I’ve found it hard to take in over the past few months. This is my life, and it’s not nice what has been said about me if I’m honest. What I do find strange is that after a private Zoom call with BBC executives on Wednesday night about going forward, this was national news by Thursday morning. That tells me there’s been a leak. Because it ain’t come from me to be in the press. (It might be from the same person who sent me the email🤔) …..I didn’t want this to be national news, in fact I didn’t want any of this. But now I’m writing a statement so people know the truth as to why I’m not attending, I don’t want people thinking I am bitter when I ain’t. I don’t want more stories being wrote that ain’t true. I’m not kicking off for attention. I’m not saying I should’ve won either. I was rubbish at dancing😂 we all know that. But love me or hate me you do have to appreciate the massive following I have, I can’t even walk into the local Tesco without getting stopped for selfies. I just believe in fairness and respect. I wish every dancer tonight the very best. They’ve worked their socks off and they deserve their moment. As for me I’ve got fish to sell on my stall and a family I love more than anything. Thank you for the love as Always. Bosh❤️

@CryptoJelleNL Thanks Jelle, needed this!

@Tradermayne You mean there were people that didnt get that?

Clearly the sinking ship is fiat currency and he’s escaping on the orange Bitcoin support boat.

@RoryStewartUK And you had a chance in your interview with Gary Stephenson to listen and instead you just patronised him with the "ah, you don't get it because of your class anger" in exactly the way he describes. The country is lost and you're not really listening.

@RoryStewartUK Rory, I'm afraid we need very much more from you, Alastair, people with a voice and in the centre ground. Just saying "ah things are bad but don't go with them" won't cut it.

I don’t know, Tommy. I’m honoured at your concern for my failing IQ, and spiritual strength. And you can definitely do more press ups than me. But you seem to have posted a clip of me saying precisely none of things that you claim…

@PeterMcCormack Sorry Peter, you have it wrong. Tax within a democracy is a means for the society to organise initiatives that require collaboration for the greater good can happen. 'Tax is theft' is a snappy saying for shock-slop idea-less internet 'influencers'.

You have it the wrong way round fella, tax is theft.

@MacroCRG Someone else said "Well done for predicting 50 of the last 2 black swans". So true. A stopped clock is right twice a day.

Capo has been bearish and calling for a black swan the entire bull cycle since bitcoin was $15k btw If you say something bad is going to happen, with no justification, every day while the market moves against you for years straight…. When something bad eventually happens, you did not ‘call it’ and you get no clout, that is not how markets work Capo is not a real trader, just a strange deluded dude addicted to ego and clout

@ArcuriBen @cafreiman Ah, my bad, yep, I clearly totally missed that.

@SoundOfCrypto @cafreiman Yeah, it would be a good chart if only it were adjusted for inflation!

“Havoc for millions”

@isabelfoxenduke Total gobbledegook.

Pepes are not NFTs But every NFT is a Pepe 💥🧠

@Maseb244 @mikealfred @PeterLBrandt I just explained the value. It's okay for you personally not to value it. But your subjective feelings are not objective facts. Others do value it. There are no currencies backed by a real asset any more. Bitcoin doesn't require a backing, it requires network participants.

@SoundOfCrypto @mikealfred @PeterLBrandt There is no value in a fairy tale internet currency. All crypto is worthless, unless backed by a REAL asset i.e. gold, silver, platinum, livestock..It’s a ponzi scheme and if you don’t see that you will be fucked when the stock market lets go

Bitcoin is an asset folks It's an asset!!!!! Get a life those who believe Bitcoin will right all the wrongs in their life will be greatly disappointed

@Maseb244 @mikealfred @PeterLBrandt I suspect you're trolling but if not - Bitcoin is a network that allows you to move value around the world permissionlessly. It abstracts value-transfer away from every conceivable government. If you don't care about that's cool. But it can't be said about gold.

@mikealfred @PeterLBrandt 😂Deep down you and the bitcoiners know the truth. But the madness of crowds has you all blind thinking you’ll get rich. Let’s see what happens when the nasdaq gives way.

@ianmiles Horse yeeted.

Photo: Bombardment of Port Arthur (Dalian) This photo depicts the damage to a Russian administrative building in Port Arthur, later known as Dalian, in northeastern China during the 1904 Russo-Japanese War. Russia had secured a 25-year lease on the port in 1898, which sparked rivalries with Japan, alongside claims by Britain, France, and Germany on Chinese land. In February 1904, Japan's fleet surprised the Russians at Port Arthur, kicking off the war, and by January 1905, Russia surrendered the port. Japan's win was groundbreaking. It was the first time in modern history an Asian power defeated a European one militarily. Over the decades, Dalian endured further occupations by Japan and the Soviets, but by the 1990s, it had evolved into a major economic zone under China's open-door policies, becoming a hub for trade, industry, and foreign investment as part of the country's rapid coastal development.

Imagine by Grok is nothing short of amazing. It lets us visualize historical moments vividly by reviving bygone eras through AI-generated imagees that bridge the past and present. Pretty awesome, if you think about it! For this first series, I've taken images and postcards from the 1900s that depict life in China during the early 20th century. Photo: The last emperor (Beijing) This image from around 1909 shows four-year-old Emperor Puyi on the right, standing with his father and baby brother. After the 1911-12 revolution, he had to give up the throne, which marked the end of China's 2,000-year imperial tradition. Twelve years on, he left the Forbidden City behind and headed to the Japanese concession in Tianjin. From 1934 to 1945, he was emperor of Manchukuo, essentially a puppet state under Japanese control in northeastern China. At the end of World War II, the Soviets captured him, and in 1950, he was sent back to China for a war crimes trial. He received a pardon in 1959 and spent his later years as a regular citizen, working in Beijing's botanical garden as someone who, as the South China Morning Post sadly put it, “had to buy a ticket to enter his old home.” By the 1990s, Puyi's story had gained renewed attention in China amid economic reforms and cultural reflections, with his life symbolizing the nation's 20th-century upheavals in films like The Last Emperor.

@javilopen Evwr wondered why your friends don't invite you to their barbecues? 🚨 Burger Police 🚨

Call me crazy, but I just don’t get this FILTHY trend of serving burgers drenched in sauce so that the moment you pick one up you’re covered in gunk, like somebody puked all over the burger 🤮 And then there’s the other retarded fad: those smashed, fried, greasy “smash” burgers that end up like damn shoe soles. Have we all turned into fucking idiots? I seriously don’t get it. Look, I’m going to explain what a REAL burger should be (the one you’ll never taste in your f*cking life unless you win the lottery, I invite you over to my house in Murcia, Spain and you catch me on a good day): - First and most important: insanely good beef with 25 % fat. Throw in some Galician blond, old cow, ox, hell I’ll even allow Angus or Wagyu if you feel like betraying the Spanish homeland. But make it top shelf and, if possible, dry‑aged. House tip for refined palates: if the cut is short on fat, blend in a bit of chopped marrow. - AT LEAST two thick fingers of meat. I’m talking the kind of fingers you’d use to slap someone silly. - Rare. We want a three‑color gradient like on a proper rib‑eye: toasted outside, medium at the edge, nice and bloody inside. - NO, burnt to a shoe sole isn’t acceptable. Back to the naughty corner with you. You can sit at the grown‑ups’ table when you learn how to eat. - Decent bun: an artisan brioche or a butter‑toasted roll caramelized to perfection. The bun might look trivial, but screw it up and you lose the whole battle. - Juicy but not a saucy mess. A big crunchy pickle is fine, a top‑notch Raf tomato, ultra‑thin red onion or onions confited in the beef’s own fat, even a teaspoon of mayo and or a smidge (for the love of God, don’t overdo it) of Dijon mustard, but none of that slathered‑on crap. - Cheese. Honestly I’m easy: a 9‑12‑month farmhouse cheddar will do, I’m not being a French diva here. If you fact‑check any of this with Grok I’ll print the answer and wipe my ass with it! Now go eat with humans, not animals, it’s about time.

@CryptoJelleNL Isn't that Dettifoss?

Biggest waterfall in Europe apparently 🇨🇭👍🏻

@MacroCRG @grok what happened?

I’ve never scammed anyone a day in my fucking life. The entire narrative is unfair and part of the reason it exists is cause my “FaZe” name is so easily farmed and manipulated. The fact this is effecting the guys at all, is whack. So for the time being I’m gunna be stepping away from not only FaZe, but all this internet shit. It’s destroying my life inside and out. Sucks my entire life gets ruined over something I didn’t even do. The real ones know. I wish I could say I’ll be back, but I really don’t know if I will.
