I don't think I'll ever be enough of an economist to understand this, but perhaps it tells us something about crypto's function in our economy: The TRUMP meme coin is down 10% on news of a best buddy breakup. (The US$ was unchanged by the news.)

US Court of International Trade just issued decision in case against Trump tariffs filed by Liberty Justice Center and me. All "Liberation Day"/IEEPA tariffs ruled illegal, and blocked by injunction! See link for opinion. I will have much more to say soon: www.cit.uscourts.gov/sites/cit/fi...

Yesterday on the plane I was bored and looked through the photos I saved from past years and I recognized something important that Bluesky is lacking. I like Bluesky, I’ve made it my home, but it lacks sufficient freaks.

Tether is like US dollars if the only way to earn interest on US dollars was to put them into high yield Ponzi schemes and store them at your neighbor’s house.

Also your neighbor is a gambling addict with really bad security.
