@QatarStandard @GROK IS THIS LEGIT?

🚨 US military presence escalates with over 15 warships stationed to support blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. This raises tensions in a strategic global energy corridor. How will this align with… qatar-standard.com/article/over-1… #Iran #Gulf

أكثر من 15 سفينة حربية أمريكية متمركزة لدعم حصار مضيق هرمز، وفقًا لمسؤول أمريكي لوول ستريت جورنال، مما يعزز التواجد العسكري في المنطقة.

@Vivek4real_ @grok when was this speech

Exactly 11 years ago today, the US government sold 50,000 Bitcoin for $270 each. A $3,500,000,000 mistake Absolutely wild 💀

BREAKING: $2.5 TRILLION CITI JUST ANNOUNCED LIVE AT STRATEGY WORLD IT WILL INTEGRATE #BITCOIN THIS YEAR “WE’RE MAKING BTC BANKABLE." THIS IS HUGE 🚀

@saylordocs @grok when did Warren buffet states this

Warren Buffett issued a serious warning. He said governments historically debase their own currencies and current U.S. policy concerns him. Berkshire Hathaway has shifted significant capital into Japanese assets and yen-denominated investments. The man known for staying calm in every market cycle appears to be positioning defensively.

Strategy has acquired 1,142 BTC for ~$90.0 million at ~$78,815 per bitcoin. As of 2/8/2026, we hodl 714,644 $BTC acquired for ~$54.35 billion at ~$76,056 per bitcoin. $MSTR $STRC strategy.com/press/strategy…

For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years. The mission of SpaceX remains the same: extend consciousness and life as we know it to the stars. It is only possible to travel to Mars when the planets align every 26 months (six month trip time), whereas we can launch to the Moon every 10 days (2 day trip time). This means we can iterate much faster to complete a Moon city than a Mars city. That said, SpaceX will also strive to build a Mars city and begin doing so in about 5 to 7 years, but the overriding priority is securing the future of civilization and the Moon is faster.

@saylordocs @grok when was this speech

🇺🇸 President Trump says the current financial system is outdated and will soon be replaced with a state-of-the-art cryptocurrency framework under the New Structure Bill. The entire financial system could go on-chain, powered by crypto!

🇺🇸 BIG: U.S. regulators give Ripple, Circle and other crypto firms preliminary approval to launch national trust banks.

🇺🇸 GOP JUST ANNOUNCED TO INTRODUCE A BILL TODAY TO CODIFY TRUMP’S EO TO OPEN #BITCOIN INVESTMENTS IN $14 TRILLION 401(k)s INTO LAW TRILLIONS INCOMING 🚀

The Oct 11 Crypto Crash — What Really Happened TL;DR: Roughly $60–90M of $USDe was dumped on Binance, along with $wBETH and $BNSOL, exploiting a pricing flaw that valued collateral using Binance’s own order-book data instead of external oracles. That localized depeg triggered $500M–$1B in forced liquidations, cascaded into $19B+ globally, and earned the attackers about $192M via $1.1B in BTC/ETH shorts opened on Hyperliquid hours earlier, but minutes before Trump tariff announcement. It wasn’t a USDe failure!! It was Binance’s design flaw, timed with macro panic (Trump’s tariffs) for cover. What looked like chaos was actually a coordinated exploitation of Binance’s internal pricing system, amplified by a macro shock and systemic leverage. 1️⃣ The Setup Binance’s Unified Account let traders use assets like USDe, wBETH, and BNSOL as collateral. Instead of oracle or redemption prices, Binance valued these using its own spot market - a major vulnerability. On Oct 6, Binance announced a fix to move to oracle-based pricing, but rollout wasn’t until Oct 14, leaving an 8-day window. 2️⃣ The Exploit During that window, sophisticated actors manipulated Binance’s order books, dumping ~$60–90M of USDe, driving it to $0.65 on Binance only (still ~$1 elsewhere). Because the Unified Account marked collateral to internal prices, this instantly wiped margin value and triggered $500M–$1B in forced liquidations. Then, Trump’s 100% China tariff headline hit, magnifying panic and liquidity stress. 3️⃣ The Profit Engine The same day, fresh wallets on Hyperliquid opened $1.1B in BTC/ETH shorts, funded by $110M USDC from Arbitrum-linked sources. As the Binance cascade unfolded, BTC and ETH cratered, those shorts netted $192M in profit before closing out at the bottom. Timing, precision, and funding paths all suggest coordination. 4️⃣ The Contagion Binance liquidations dumped BTC/ETH/ALTs into thin books. Other exchanges mirrored the collapse through cross-market bots. Market makers hedged across venues were forced to unwind everywhere. Result: $19B+ global liquidations, with many alts down 50–70% intraday, all triggered by <$100M of manipulated collateral. 5️⃣ Who’s at fault? Binance: design flaw + delay in oracle rollout = root cause. Exploiters: executed and timed the manipulation, profited via external shorts. Ethena (USDe): not at fault - protocol stayed 1:1 collateralized, redemptions normal, peg held everywhere else. 6️⃣ Aftermath Binance admitted “platform-related issues,” promised compensation for affected margin/futures/loan users, and rolled out minimum price floors + oracle integration. USDe remained operational, and the incident is now a case study in how exchange-side pricing errors can trigger system-wide liquidations. Bottom line: A ~$90M dump on Binance and a $1.1B leveraged short elsewhere sparked a $19B bloodbath. Not a stablecoin failure, but a masterclass in exploiting flawed collateral valuation during peak macro stress.

@BitcoinMagazine Stablecoins are a good business for the issuer: Tether generated a net profit of $13 billion in 2024, with just around 150 employees. According to Simon Taylor, Head of Strategy at Sardine, Tether generates a profit per employee of around $85 million.

Michael Saylor says, "An orange wave is coming, and every public company will be thinking about #Bitcoin for their treasury."
