Bitcoin Goes Mainstream

With President Trump now endorsing Bitcoin the orange pill is going mainstream at honey badger speed. Recently, Zerohedge reported that 52% of major hedge funds now own Bitcoin. Meanwhile, thousands of companies hold Bitcoin as a corporate asset. And -- most important, politically -- President Trump gave Bitcoin his full-throated endorsement in his recent…

Trump will say anything to get elected. Empire is over.
what's the DILL?
Bitcoin is a Deep State Operation to Pre-program & Pre-condition the public into accepting, using, transacting and transitioning to the new digital monetary system CBDC. Bitcoin is used as a social and psychological stepping stone. It also serves as pig pen to herd the public into to be slaughtered and kept away from hard assets, while the "elite" hoard hard assets at pennies on the dollar, with no competition from the public. Because the public is crypto crazed.
Trump is a globalist and that is why he is reinforcing this psychological operation and deep state creation. The same man who committed genoicde with Operation Depopulation warp speed death shots and instead of draining the swamp, he hired more gang members to fill the swamp.
People will say if trump is a globalist, why is he being attacked by the system. Why? Because it's part of the dog and pony show. Its to give the role/character he's playing authenticity and trustworthy-ness among the population and to be able to steer them trustingly, to the avenues they want. Like Bitcoin.
The deep state wants people to go digital. And peoples genuine idea to fight back against a System that wants them to go digital; is to go digital? Sounds foolish to me.

Cash And Carry Confusion

25k BTC ($1.8B) flowed into the spot ETFs last week, and yet Bitcoin still hasn't cracked to new ATHs. I suspect much of this inflow volume is associated with the cash and carry trade via CME futures.
If you find all of the financial jargon and lingo around derivatives markets confusing, you’re not alone. Like anything, it takes time, exposure, and practice to wrap your head around these market dynamics. The confusion I noted in last week’s post around how spot, ETF, and futures markets are interlinked continues this week, and it for sure isn’t helped…

Well, there go the days of getting excited over ETF inflows. 😢

Hi James, very illuminating, again…..! You are living up to your tagline: ‘your BTC personal trainer’…….! I have a few follow-up questions.
- is it correct that CME futures are USD cash-backed only and that margin requirement is 50%? Is that the reason you said that these traders will not get liquidated? In other words, no short squeeze to expect here?
- what overall percentage of BTC futures is backed by BTC collateral and what is generally the kind of margin requirement and leverage that is used for these futures. I hear about insane leverages of 100 x 1, is that true? Is it correct that the very steep rises (and falls) of BTC are often driven by BTC-backed futures liquidations? Short squeezes more likely here?
Thanks in advance.

Why Smaller Faster Horses Perform Better

A study of relative upside of Ethereum vs Solana
During Bull Markets in Crypto, smaller comparable projects often do better than bigger projects. There are a few reasons for this: 1. Small projects can grow faster. If a small company grows by $1 billion, it can double in size. But a big company needs a lot more money to grow by the same amount.

Ich lese sie eifrig, gerade auch ihr letztes Buch, und habe ein Abo. Freie Journalisten zu unterstützen, die sich gegen diesen unseligen Zeitgeist stellen, die ... Ungereimtheiten der letzen Jahre ans Licht bringen und dafür persönliche Opfer bringen müssen, ist richtig und wichtig. Ich hoffe, Sie finden viele Unterstützer. Es absolut rin Ordnung, dass Sie zu Ihrer finanziellen Unterstützung auch auf Werbung zurückgreifen. Nicht jede Werbung ist ja Schrott ... Ich wünsche Ihnen - und allen anderen Journalisten, denen die Wahrheit am Herzen liegt und dieser ans Licht verhelfen - viel Erfolg. Wir sind Ihnen alle zum Dank verpflichtet.

Kommt auf die Werbung an! Wenns Dr. McCullough ist, der sein Erste-Hilfe-Köfferchen gegen künftige Plandemien verkaufen will, dann wäre ich enttäuscht (s.a. Kim Iversen). Die Qualität der Werbung färbt auf die Glaubwürdigkeit des Journalisten ab.
Viel Erfolg und vielen Dank!

How much will Trump's conviction harm him? Watch low-information voters.

Partisans are going to partisan. But they're not the votes that matter.
Former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, was convicted on Thursday by a Manhattan jury on all 34 counts in a felony case involving hush money paid to the porn star Stormy Daniels. Trump is the first US president to be convicted of a crime

I believe from obviously anecdotal evidence that there are many informed individuals such as myself that this verdict will make us more likely to vote for Trump rather than stay home, I could never vote for Biden , not only his increasing senility but his horrific economic and foreign policy blunders make me abhor him and fear for our country if he and then slots certainly Kamala are in the Oval Office for the next 4 years. In addition, I think that it is highly likely that given their desperation Biden and his surrogates will overplay their hand regarding this verdict I am in favor of the majority of Trump’s policies, but his actions and bombast have always completely turned me off, he has been his own worst enemy in that regard. But as someone who has followed this trial and has been a political junkie for approximately 70 of my almost 82 years this charge, trial, incredible bias and incredible conflict of interest of the judge combined with the incredibly unfair verdict have clearly convinced me to support Trump against the elites in the best way possible, by voting for him in no spite of my qualms.
The other unknown for all of us is, of course who he picks as his VP running mate, and how that might gain him a lot of additional paid media and accentuate the divisions in the badly fractured Democratic electoral base.

Everything About Israel Is Fake

Thanks Caitlin.
Israel is a total sham. Always has been.
With the acceptance of it as a country…sorry…corrupted state, thanks to the Zionists in Britain, it was brought and paid for by European bankers a long time ago. It was always going to be a thorn in the side of all countries and has proven that time and again, this latest genocidal activity a perfect illustration of the mentality of the government, being fully supported by the people, right across the board.

Extremely clever people with lots of money and a fake religion are hard to move once they have a strangle hold which is why I no longer believe that the USA is in charge.

Healthy natural systems are always characterized by intrinsic negative feedback controls that prevent the kind of destructive overshoots that we're witnessing in "a civilization that has gone bat shit crazy". Citizen skepticism and opposition to such a bat shit society's excesses are part of that negative feedback regulation, but they're instead treated as unpatriotic, anti-Semitic, as anything but the appropriate necessary elements of an entity truly worthy of the appellation "system". Without those feedbacks, it's not really a system, it's just a horribly degraded excuse for something else, some out-of-control beast.

Not that long ago I would have thought that saying our government would come after us would be silly. Now, as incredible as it might seem, I've come to believe that if we don't “behave” and obey, they WILL treat us like the Palestinians. Hell, they might come after us even if we do act like sheep.

The Flip-Floppening: Check's Opinion on Ethereum

Years ago, I made a conscious decision to focus my time and energy on Bitcoin, where my skills are sharpest. However, it was thinking through the Ethereum problem that helped me reach this conclusion.
Last week really was one for the history books as far as crypto-regulation in the US goes. Overall, it signifies a major and overwhelmingly positive shift in the political landscape: SAB121 was overturned by congress (votes 60-38), which removed an overly restrictive SEC requirement on banks regarding the custody of crypto-assets. The veto which was pre-…

The facts presented are real but also have an emotional component and the perspective of a BTC maxi, which is ok! :) I honestly believe that ETH is the second strongest asset and will perform well due to the following reasons:
- there is still no other battle tested ecosystem which has performed as good. ETH becomes a secure and safe place to store value just like BTC because it gained the most important quality: TRUST.
- it still doen't have any strong competitors as Solana has downtime, Cosmos hasn't managed to achieve a large market share, the others are EVM based chains and more centralized and are derivatives of ETH which came first.
- the rise of gas price could be seed as a feature because ETH becomes store of value similar to BTC. It has the necessary security and because it runs smart contracts it should be a similar asset class. If you want cheap gas for memecoins you could go in other ecosystems, but if you want security and trust you stay in ETH
- they invented smart contracts, proved that they are secure and this is enough to remain a strong ecosystem
The main issue I see is related to centralization after the migration to POS but we should see how they will mitigate this.
Really enjoyed the essay. Thanks & keep up the fabulous work!

Every single point right on target, Caitlin.

This is not all that deep or complicated and there are no contradictions involved.
The message is: “white power”.
White people have the right to take it all. And no one else has rights. Not to the value of land, property or nature, of just fruits of your own labour. Not even the right to life.
That’s what the “west” is all about.
Until that seeps through and becomes the primary idea to overturn, and new identities established that actually have a constructive framing - there will be a lot of wasted outrage, confusion and cul de sacs.

RKI-Protokolle entschwärzt: „Das Hauptrisiko, an Covid-19 zu sterben, ist das Alter“

Die nunmehr entschwärzten RKI-Protokolle zeigen: Es ging von Anfang an vor allem um die Impfung. Bill Gates und China durften sich freuen.
“Betrug und Falschheit fürchten die Überprüfung. Wahrheit lädt sie ein.” - Samuel Johnson (brit. Autor, Essayist, 1709-1784) Nach längerem hin und her hat das RKI am 30.05. die weitgehend entschwärzten Protokolle des Krisenstabs („RKI-Protokolle“) veröffentlicht.

Es gibt einen riesigen Elefanten im Porzellanladen und viel zerbrochenes Geschirr. Wer es sich erlaubt, auf den Elefanten hinzuweisen, wird diskreditiert und ausgegrenzt.
Was sagt das aus über die dahinterliegende Absicht und den Teil der mißbrauchten Bevölkerung, die den Elefanten leugnen?
Für intelligente Menschen, die sich nicht scheuen den Elefanten zu benennen, ein kaum zu ertragender Widerspruch.
Es ist ja nicht so, dass „die Anderen“ den Elefanten nicht sehen. Erstaunlich ist es für mich wie „die Anderen“ es schaffen, mit der Leugnung des Offensichtlichen zu leben. Immerhin zersetzt es immer deutlicher ihre eigene Existenzgrundlage. Zuallererst sogar ihre eigene Gesundheit und den gesunden Menschenverstand.

Yesterday, a mosquito was noticed alighting from my hand, and a drop of blood was seen in the same area it had departed, the two events possibly connected; the drop was thought to potentially contain hundreds of red blood cells. (The actual number would be millions). Thanks for editorially defecating on the NY Times, one of my favorite pursuits; but your skill at it is clearly unequaled.

“A lot of people who grow skeptical of the mass media correctly assume that these outlets are propaganda services for the US empire, but incorrectly assume that this means they must be lying all the time.”
This was actually a really good thing to point out. It’s so easy to imagine these outlets are spinning blatant lies around the clock, when in reality, the tactics are much more subtle and sinister in that they bend the framing of the story so that the parts they want you to see jump out at you while the parts they don’t want you to linger on slips right by you. We, as readers, have to become just as sophisticated as the propagandists who weave these complex narratives together if we are to better understand the world we’re living in.
