@SuperEnergyExp1 @ImBreckWorsham The whataboutism is strong with this one

@ImBreckWorsham Obama said I could keep my insurance. What about that?

So, the Trumpers who signed up for the $500 Trump phone YEARS ago and have still not received them just got an email saying they will NEVER receive them and.....wait for it.....wait for it...... Trump's keeping their deposit. 🤣😂🤣 Art of the grift.

@EricTrump @FT @FinancialTimes the reckoning for all this crookedness will come, and i cannot wait to witness it

@FT @FinancialTimes be very careful. I had no involvement in this transaction and have always been a passive investor with no management role in this vehicle. Any suggestion to the contrary would be both inaccurate and defamatory.

Trump sons take stake in Kazakh miner that won $1.6bn US contract ft.trib.al/4FSojz6

@VBeck33 @ATabarrok Delete this before the world sees that you are actually retarded.

@ATabarrok You're joking, right? The Obama halo and now the monstrous Communist library. But Trump started the idolatry. Er ok.

We are approaching Turkmenistan levels of idolatry.

@denverbitcoin This man doesn’t know anything about bitcoin. Insane

“I was mining #bitcoin about 20yrs ago when I was in the intelligence community. Somewhere in some dumpster there’s a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of bitcoin.” Never underestimate a government employee’s courage to blatantly lie into a microphone.

@chamath @zerohedge Anyone who is against this - Read Capital in the 21st Century by Thomas Piketty. Realize that wealth distribution is a zero sum game and the wealthy will eventually own everything. They will not out consume the exponential growth of their assets. The alternative is revolution.

As you go to work today and settle into the week, please study the form below. You will soon need to fill this out EVERY year and tell the government what you own and then allow them to tell you how much its worth. That is the framework that is enabled by the Trojan Horse "Billionaire Tax" that is trying to get passed. Give them credit: they cleverly use Billionaires as the hook, but build in the language and the framework that will allow the Legislature to simply extend the tax to everyone and make it yearly. And this is where the form below comes in... In this case, ask yourself, will it be you or the Billionaires that will be able to fill this out properly and avoid penalties. As much as Billionaires can be pushed to do more for society, we all know that they have the infrastructure to manage these kinds of disclosures...middle class Californians do not and they will be the ones that get penalized in the end.

@Georgie4sure @unusual_whales “This guys a fraud. Inherited all his wealth.” Surely you mean Trump. I’ll grant you Trump while born on third base, made a lot of money by suing people for dubious reasons, not paying the labor he hires to do work, blatant corruption, crony capitalism and insider trading.

@unusual_whales This guys a fraud , elected with fraudulent mail in ballots inherited all his wealth , show us his portfolio & his family’s wealth. At least Trump encourages people to invest, started $1000 trump investment account for newborns Plus no tax on tips, OT , or SS.

Ossoff: "Remember, while you pay more for everything, the first family’s wealth is growing by billions of dollars because they are crooks, and everybody knows it."

@digitalassetbuy seems like its doing just fine though

The quiet part out loud.👀👀👀

@Crampus10 @joncoopertweets Ain’t no one voting for that pedo ever again. Except maybe other pedos who empathize. That you?

@joncoopertweets This is gonna look real good when republicans win elections because Gavin Newsome is showing up in Iranian propaganda videos. I mean we all know leftoids are America-Hating traitors, but you're not supposed to be actively working with our enemies. Trump 2028 is about to happen.

Whoever is cooking up these LEGO videos has the Trump regime completely figured out. While the U.S. fumbles digital propaganda, Iran is dropping AI brick bangers that are actually landing. They’re winning the meme war brick by brick. 🧱 #LEGOPropaganda

I am a Web3 Ambassador at World Liberty Financial. There are 12 of us on the team page. 4 are named Trump. 3 are named Witkoff. The page calls us "the passionate minds shaping the future of finance." 600,000 wallets bought our memecoin. They lost $3.87 billion. The family collected $350 million in trading fees. It launched 3 days before the inauguration. 80% of the supply went to CIC Digital LLC and Fight Fight Fight LLC. I did not choose the names. I designed the allocation, the vesting, the timing, and the distance between the product and the President. The distance is my best work. I am the reason these events are unrelated. World Liberty Financial sends 75 cents of every dollar to DT Marks DEFI LLC. That is the family entity. Zero capital contributed. Zero liability assumed. I wrote this into the Gold Paper. Page 14. The lawyers bound it in white leather. The binding cost more than the due diligence. Justin Sun invested $75 million. He was facing SEC fraud charges. The SEC dropped the case. He is now our advisor. These events are unrelated. Changpeng Zhao pleaded guilty to federal money laundering violations. He received a presidential pardon. The SEC dropped its lawsuit against his exchange the same week we listed our stablecoin. Then the exchange settled a $2 billion deal entirely in that stablecoin. These events are unrelated. Arthur Hayes, Benjamin Delo, and Samuel Reed of BitMEX pleaded guilty to Bank Secrecy Act violations. All 3 received presidential pardons. Then the company itself was pardoned. $100 million in fines. Gone. An American first. These events are unrelated. Sheikh Tahnoun of Abu Dhabi paid $500 million for a 49% stake that was never publicly disclosed. Then the administration approved semiconductor exports to his companies over national security objections. These events are unrelated. Everything is unrelated. I track the unrelatedness on a dashboard I built. The dashboard has 7 columns now. I am proud of the dashboard. On May 22nd, 220 people paid a combined $148 million to eat dinner with the America First president. Over half were foreign nationals. Justin Sun paid $18.5 million for the first seat. He visited the Executive Office Building the day before. I designed the seating chart. I put it on the Investor Confidence page. That page is doing well. The team page lists 3 Witkoffs. All 3 are Co-Founders. Steven Witkoff is the President's Middle East envoy. He testified as a character witness at the President's fraud trial. His son Zach runs the crypto operation. His son Alex is also a Co-Founder. I have not been told what Alex co-founded. The father runs the diplomacy. The sons run the platform. The family runs both. That is organizational efficiency. Barron is 19. His title is Web3 Ambassador. The same as mine. Donald Jr. called the conflicts of interest "complete nonsense." Eric launched a Bitcoin mining company called American Bitcoin. America First. The mining partner is Hut 8. Hut 8 was founded in Canada. America First means the name. On March 6th, the President signed Executive Order 14233 creating a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The order directs the government to hold Bitcoin. The President's family holds billions in Bitcoin. The executive order appreciates the President's assets by presidential decree. I did not write the executive order. I made sure it looked unrelated to the portfolio. Trump Media put $2 billion of Bitcoin on its balance sheet. The ticker symbol is DJT. His initials. The press secretary said it is absurd to insinuate the President profits off the presidency. Forbes calculated his crypto holdings exceed the combined value of Mar-a-Lago and Trump Tower. I would call that absurd too. That is my job. 600,000 wallets bought in. 1 of them asked why she could not withdraw her funds. I told her the protocol was experiencing dynamic market conditions. She asked what that meant. I sent her the Gold Paper. She said she had read the Gold Paper. I muted her channel. Dynamic means the conditions change. The condition that changed was her access. A congressman called us the world's most corrupt crypto startup operation. We put it on a coffee mug. Ironic merchandise. $45. The revenue split on the mug is also 75/25. My own tokens vest on a different schedule. I wrote that schedule. That is not in the Gold Paper. The memecoin funds the family. The family funds the platform. The platform funds the stablecoin. The stablecoin funds the deals. The deals require the pardons. The pardons free the partners. The partners fund the platform. The President signs the executive orders. The executive orders inflate the assets. The assets fund the family. I am the reason these events are unrelated.

@TheBTCTherapist You are an absolute idiot

POV: you sent a rocket around the moon, removed the authoritarian leader of Venezuela, eliminated all the terrorists in Iran and pumped the market all before a new dovish Fed Chair

@oren_cass @highbrow_nobrow lol our republic. We live in an authoritarian dictatorship now. Governed by pedophilic elites and grifting narcissistic idiots who somehow convinced the people whom they have absolutely nothing in common with and an obvious disdain for, to empower them. We are lost.

I mostly avoid commenting on what President Trump says from day to day, while pulling no punches in my assessments, whether positive or negative, of his policy. His Iran ultimatums feel different. Making such threats is a policy. If he were to follow through on them, the consequences would be immediate, irreversible, and catastrophic on a world-historical scale. So while some will inevitably insist he should be “taken seriously rather than literally,” or that he is executing a sophisticated “madman” strategy in a complex game of 5-D chess, or that he needs everyone’s steadfast support to maximize his leverage, now rather than later seems the time to say that the actions that he is proposing would be a disaster for our country, both strategically and morally, which makes the remarks themselves a terrible mistake. Simply put, what’s the point of all this? If these are empty threats that we all know he will not carry out, then they are ineffective threats (the Iranians are on X too!), merely making the president and our nation look foolish. If they are not empty threats, then the president is asserting the American position that such actions are acceptable in this situation and ones we are willing to take. We are not living in some quantum thought experiment where he simultaneously is and is not serious. We cannot expect the Iranians, but only the Iranians, will believe him. Whether the threats are empty or not, we should be willing to say: This is wrong. We should not establish a pattern of threatening escalation from a blockaded strait to elimination of a civilization. We should not launch strikes intended to devastate the lives of millions of people and take our nation to total war without indisputable justification, or before the American people have deliberated upon and assented to the path with full understanding of what total war might mean for them. Those principles are vital to our Republic, independent of whether the strategy could “work.” But it’s also worth emphasizing that the strategy is a dead end. This war is actively weakening American power, increasing the danger to American citizens, and frustrating the president’s important efforts at addressing our many domestic challenges. It has closed a strait that was previously open, strengthened the incentive for other nations to pursue nuclear weapons, and in this most recent rhetoric made more plausible their use. Our choices for continuing the war appear to be catastrophic escalation of the air war or extensive deployment of ground troops, neither of which were planned or had support at the outset. Stepping back from these threats and admitting such actions do not offer a path to resolving the conflict may be unpalatable, but it is by far the least unpalatable option available. Let us all hope cooler heads prevail.

@digitalassetbuy Energy is the fundamental change agent for progress. I admittedly don’t know this guy but conflating carbon emitting energy production with energy in general is a crazy take. Maybe he’s talking about the next few years? Anyway I’m not a gambler but I’d bet against this take 10-1

@TheB_sKnees @Antunes1 Why have they only released 3 million files then? Show us that there is no evidence and we will stop calling you all pedophile protectors. You are a disgrace and utterly disgusting human being.

He’s 100% correct. You need evidence and you need a grand jury to indict and until you have those things nothing‘s gonna happen to anyone. People are so stupid. Not even any victim has got on TV and said and named a specific person that did something to her and then provide the evidence to prove it.

The new Acting Attorney General 🤡 Todd Blanche: We’re not going to prosecute the predators in the Epstein files or release their names to the public.

@dangobbo21 @LynAldenContact Lots of oil and oil based things in Middle East. Need big boats to move it. Big boats need stait of Hormuz move it. Strait of Hormuz very very hard to protect and very very easy to attack. Iran attack, Trump make big empty threat. Soon biggest ever global supply shortage.

@LynAldenContact I'm 41 and don't understand a fucken word you've written in this post. We see rubbish like this daily on social media platforms. It's absolutely ridiculous,I mean, is it really that hard to get your point across just by stringing sentences together that are,at least, coherent?

Some people ask me when I’ll be chill about energy. The first step is that my (almost always chill, but currently not chill) oil quant has to become chill again. He’s still not chill. He’s the opposite of chill.

My net worth peaked at $1.2 million. None of it was real. I don't mean that philosophically. I mean it was located on servers that have since been turned off. I own eleven properties in the metaverse. Three in Decentraland. Four in The Sandbox. Two in Voxels. One in Otherside. And a beachfront villa in Horizon Worlds that I bought for $214,000 because Mark Zuckerberg called it "the next frontier." The frontier closed last week. It's a mobile app now. Last year I mass DM'd 340 people the phrase "you don't understand how early we are." I have since stopped doing that. Not because I was wrong. Because most of them blocked me. I got into metaverse real estate in November 2021. Everyone was buying. Someone paid $450,000 to be Snoop Dogg's neighbor. In a video game. With no legs. The avatars didn't have legs. I thought that was bullish. "The legs are coming," I told my Discord. "Legs are a roadmap item." Three hundred people reacted with rocket emojis. I called myself a "digital land baron." I put it in my Twitter bio. I put it in my LinkedIn headline. I said it on a podcast that had eleven listeners. Three of them were bots. The rest were my alts. My virtual property has more square footage than my actual apartment. My actual apartment has furniture. Location, location, location. My most valuable asset was a plot next to a virtual Gucci store. Gucci left in 2023. The store is still there. Nobody's in it. It's like a mall in Ohio but with worse graphics and no food court. I held. Diamond hands. That's what we said. "Diamond hands." It means refusing to sell while your investment loses 94% of its value. We turned financial paralysis into a personality trait. A guy in my Discord paid $2.4 million for a 618-parcel estate in Decentraland. Prime district. High foot traffic. I asked him what "foot traffic" meant when the platform had 38 daily active users. He said I didn't understand the technology. I didn't. I still bought more. We had a DAO. A decentralized autonomous organization. That means we voted on decisions. There were nine of us. Three never showed up. Two voted on everything without reading it. The other four were me and my alts. We voted to "acquire strategic parcels." The vote passed unanimously. I voted four times. My portfolio peaked at $1.2 million. I told everyone. I made a spreadsheet. I projected 40x returns by 2025. I made a pitch deck. The pitch deck had a slide that said "WE ARE BUILDING THE DIGITAL ECONOMY." The slide had a rocket emoji. That was my entire financial model. In 2023 I bought a Bored Ape for $189,000. It's worth $14,000 now. I don't talk about the Ape. I still use it as my profile picture. People ask me about it. I say "I'm long-term bullish." Long-term bullish means I can't sell it without crying in a Panera. My mom asked me what a Bored Ape was. I said "digital art on the blockchain." She asked why it cost more than her car. I said "you don't understand Web3." She said "I understand you live in a studio apartment." She's not in my Discord. Justin Bieber bought one for $1.3 million. It's worth about $90,000 now. I felt better about mine after I heard that. That's community. WAGMI. We're All Gonna Make It. We said that every day. In the group chat. While the floor dropped. While the volume dried up. While 95% of all NFT collections went to zero. We're all gonna make it. None of us made it. But we said it with conviction and a laser-eye profile picture. That counts for something. It doesn't. But we said it did. That's decentralized consensus. Meta spent $84 billion on the metaverse. I need to say that again. $84 billion. More than the GDP of Luxembourg. More than the GDP of Iceland, Luxembourg, and Malta combined. They spent it on a platform where the avatars had no legs, the graphics looked like a 2006 Wii game, and the peak user count was lower than the lunch rush at a Chipotle in Des Moines. They just pulled Horizon Worlds from VR headsets. It lives on as a mobile app. My beachfront villa is now a mobile app. Location, location, location. Zuckerberg renamed the entire company for this. Facebook became Meta. A $900 billion company changed its legal name because the CEO watched Ready Player One and said "I want that." Reality Labs lost $10 billion in 2021. $14 billion in 2022. $16 billion in 2023. $18 billion in 2024. $19 billion in 2025. That's not a strategy. That's a speedrun. They laid off 1,500 Reality Labs employees this year. Shut down three VR studios. Killed Supernatural. Put the entire VR social vision in a casket and said "we're pivoting to AI and wearables." The pivot took four years and $84 billion. I pivoted too. I'm an AI real estate investor now. I bought a virtual plot in an AI-generated world that doesn't exist yet. The founder said it was "the intersection of spatial computing and large language models." I don't know what that means. I gave him $40,000. He has a whitepaper. It's 47 pages. I read the title and the tokenomics section. The tokenomics section is a pie chart. I love pie charts. They make everything look like a plan. The project has a roadmap. Q1: "Build community." Q2: "Launch beta." Q3: "Scale ecosystem." Q4 is blank. Q4 is always blank. That's where the exit scam goes. My accountant asked me to value my metaverse portfolio for tax purposes. I said $1.2 million. He said "current market value." I said $6,400. He stared at me for eleven seconds. I know because I counted. He asked if I had any other investments. I showed him my NFTs. He stared for longer. I told him they were "cultural artifacts with long-term provenance." He asked if I'd considered a 401k. I told him a 401k was "legacy finance." He told me to leave his office. The metaverse is dead. I don't accept that. I am a digital land baron. I own eleven properties across four platforms. I have a beachfront villa in a mobile app, a plot next to an empty Gucci store, and a cartoon monkey that cost me more than my actual car. Location, location, location. The location is nowhere. But I'm early. I'm always early. That's the same as being wrong except you get to say it with confidence.

@RLC5061 @Drew_Vish @Z06Z07 Let’s follow this crazy take to its logical conclusion. Why would they do that if they own 90%? If you are talking about paper trading that wont make it go to zero. And if they sell, someone else will buy at some other price be it retail or other institutions.

@Drew_Vish @Z06Z07 There is no math. Institutions now control 90% of BTC. Almost ALL of retail is out of Bitcoin. Institutions manipulate BTC like a stock. They have zero reason to let BTC run up. In fact, they plan to slow-drip BTC down to zero.

@TMoney231703 @JavierBlas Wow i had no idea. Wish they used that for Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan.

@JavierBlas Most lay people have zero clue how many scenarios the Pentagon runs on these types of moves. Literally thousands assessing probabilities etc. We are 3 steps ahead of the enemy at all times.

OK, I suppose we should admit the White House was right, and, all along, they did have a plan to deal with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Bomb Kharg Island.

@TXMCtrades I don’t understand how anyone can ignore or defend this. We aren’t talking about tax fraud or money laundering here we are talking about accusations of pedophilia. Defending this shows you are morally compromised. There is no other alternative.
