I love how the big news on Trump’s tariff announcement is how moments before he made it a bunch of people made insanely profitable shorts on crypto, a thing that Bitcoin Bros are all astounded to see happening in a completely unregulated market of a fake currency primarily used by criminals.

BREAKING: Look at this.

A new crypto account was opened yesterday morning.

30 minutes BEFORE Trump's announcement of 100% tariffs on China, it added a huge multi-million dollar levered Bitcoin short position, per YF.

The market dumped.

The trader made a profit of $192 million in two hours.

Unusual.

JUST IN: An anonymous trader opened massive crypto short positions just 30 minutes before Trump’s tariff announcements yesterday.

They made an estimated $192M in profits.

Donald Trump needs to go to jail. He is thief, he is literally robbing people internationally.

He announced 100% Tarrifs on China and sends the US stock market into a death spiral.

At the same time someone put over 1 Billion dollars into crypto with orders for 100 million being placed on Ethereum and Bitcoin and other crypto currencies across the board whilst markets got wiped after what he said. Billions, and I mean fucking billions got wiped out, whilst Bitcoin had it a biggest dip ever in a single candle losing 20k per Bitcoin, Whilst alt coins lost over 60-70% of value, everyone with leverage on the market with even 2 x leverage got murdered and robbed.

This was co ordinated, this was market manipulation with one anonymous wallet making over 200 million dollars in one day with trades showing that they knew Trump was going to announce this and crash the market.

Die Fraktionen sprachen sich zudem gegen Dauerstellen für Postdocs und Doktoranden aus. Eine flächendeckende Entfristung blockiere Chancen für die nächste Generation. Mehr Fluktuation schaffe zudem Raum für Innovation und verhindere die Blockade von Stellen durch Dauerbeschäftigungen.

It sometimes feels like there is only one type of tech billionaire: a person imagining himself to be a renaissance man and failing more and more publicly at it as time goes on.

All social media companies need to be regulated into the ground. There needs to be both a formal and informal structure limiting their size and regulating speech. Because all of that does exist for all other media that came before.

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

These watches appear to be ripoffs of famous designs. Likely from some factory that normally produces "homage" watches and they just swapped out the branding.

tatsächlich sind es mindestens dreimal so viele Milliardäre wie „Totalverweigerer“ - aber gut, was soll bei so einem Milliardär schon zu holen sein und die haben sich schließlich alles hart selbst ererbt

Deutschland hat dem Bericht zufolge die viertmeisten Milliardäre weltweit – nach den USA, China und Indien. Ihre Zahl stieg demnach im vergangenen Jahr um neun auf 130. Ihr Gesamtvermögen liege inzwischen bei 625,4 Milliarden US-Dollar.

Oxfam errechnete zudem, dass deutsche Milliardärinnen und Milliardäre überdurchschnittlich von Erbschaften profitieren. Während weltweit 36 Prozent des Milliardärsvermögens aus Erbschaften stammt, sind es hierzulande sogar 71 Prozent.

The TikTok outlines that a specific goal of these animations is to multiply their reach by cultivating secondary coverage

And indeed, dozens of major outlets like BBC, CNN and Sky News have aired them, in part or in full, often without context
