Bitcoin vs gold correlation shows that bitcoin isn’t like Gold at all.

Gold: safe haven people run to when scared or inflation is feared.

Bitcoin: a speculative risk asset people run to when they feel safe.

Now: dollar is falling, good for gold. bitcoin is crashing even faster than $.

The question every country has to be asking is, am I FAFO or TACO?

FAFO countries better do what he wants or give him a prize or airplane ir buy a bullion in trump crypto.

If you’re a TACO country (Trump always chickens out). Punch the bully, he will back off.

Europe just proved they are TACO.

It’s with a heavy heart I share that Albert Penello, gaming luminary, has passed.

He was a good and loyal friend and I will miss him. He was a husband and father to his 12 year old daughter.

Recently I asked how he was doing.

He replied: “Cancer: 0 stars, don’t recommend.” With a laugh.

I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this.
But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.

Horrifying— Barbara Gomes Marques went with her US citizen husband and lawyer on 9/16 to a green card appointment at USCIS office in downtown LA where she was tricked into walking down a hallway away from them, was snatched by ICE and never came back. She now faces imminent deportation in Louisiana.

Disturbing chart (h/t joshua Allen). The percent of items in the government’s inflation basket that are missing.

Since Trump, missing datapoints have gone from 10% to 30%. The government “imputes” the data.

This from the unprincipled administration that monkeyed with covid numbers.
