The bond market is crashing. Do you realize the world economy is based on debt? A bond is debt, and the whole world is floating on it, and this collapse signals deeper economic troubles. While market crashes are visible, banking crashes are hidden and much more dangerous. Itβs one reason I am investing in physical assets like gold, silver, and Bitcoin. Iβm a hardcore believer of gold and silver, real money, not fake money.
The BRICS Unit project pegs 40% of its value to gold and 60% to a basket of BRICS national currencies.
This is according to the head of the BRICS Business Council's task force on financial services.
Boom.
The writing has been on the way for a very long time.
Gold.
The United States is beginning to plan to punish countries that move away from the dollar with some planning tariffs if they get into a position of power
In a free market, countries shouldn't be penalized for not using a currency
This is how you know desperation is in the air
BREAKING: The S&P 500 is currently on track to post its first green day of September 2024.
If the S&P 500 can hold its pre-market move higher into the close, it would mark the index's first daily gain since August 30th.
In the first week of September the index is down 4.3%, erasing $2.2 TRILLION of market cap.
On Friday, we put the below note out for our members and bought the dip as $SPX fell into 5440.

The #Fed's rate cuts won't prevent a #recession. In fact, the U.S. economy has likely been in a recession for some time, though it hasn't been officially confirmed yet. While short-term rates may fall, long-term rates and #inflation will rise, along with #unemployment. Game over.
TIL: We are 30 days away from $8.6B of wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC) custody being *partially* transferred to Justin Sun, a notorious bad actor.
We need better-wrapped/bridged Bitcoin solutions π.
The first Starships to Mars will launch in 2 years when the next Earth-Mars transfer window opens.
These will be uncrewed to test the reliability of landing intact on Mars. If those landings go well, then the first crewed flights to Mars will be in 4 years.
Flight rate will grow exponentially from there, with the goal of building a self-sustaining city in about 20 years. Being multiplanetary will vastly increase the probable lifespan of consciousness, as we will no longer have all our eggs, literally and metabolically, on one planet.
Why it's worth worrying more about wokeness/communism than fascism/Nazism in America:
1. Everyone agrees that Nazism is dangerous, despite its being extinct among all but bikers, schizophrenics, and prison gangs. Hitlerβs name is synonymous with the devil, and the first instinct of any political simpleton is to tar his opponents with Hitlerβa name. If we don't discuss Hitler and Nazis more often, its for the same reason that fish don't discuss water. It is thoroughly baked into the cake of contemporary western politics.
2. Meanwhile, alignment with communist ideals, association with communist fellow travelers, etc is and has been utterly unremarkable among the western elite. Open admiration for the same faces little societal pushback or moral condemnation, and awareness of communismβs historic crimes is lacking among Americans save perhaps for those who emigrated or whose parents emigrated from places like Cuba, Vietnam, Venezuela, and so on.
3. No form of extreme right wing ideology, let alone Nazism, has any traction among western elites. Woke does. Given that a highly technical and specialized modern society will be in large part defined by the attitudes and goals of βthe managerial classβ in Burnhamβs terms, the beliefs of that class will eventually concern everyone. It therefore makes sense to be concerned about woke ideas even when they are held by only a small percentage of the population writ large. If that small percentage includes substantial portions of people within media, government, business, academia, education, NGO work, and so on, then it is guaranteed to be a leading indicator for the direction of society as a whole

Act quickly and transfer your money from your bank to QFS assets. Purchase the recommended ISOCOINS, XLM and XRP, which are backed by precious metals like silver and gold. I've received complaints about missing funds from banks, so it's essential to get your money out, including IRA and 401K holdings. Convert them to digital coins like XLM and XRP and secure them in the recommended QFS security system network as soon as possible. Don't wait until it's too late; take action now to protect your assets. #QFS #XLM #XRP #security https://image.nostr.build/508d137e706cf793fa01e6b398501f3fb467a1f8272253f4aa5fb1674e859407.jpg
fractal bitcoin is a new sidechain that's got a lot of people talking.
fractal is built by unisat, bsf, uniworlds, and asset bridge. itβs a bitcoin sidechain but itβs totally separate from bitcoin l1:
1. it has its own nodes & miners
2. it has its own token
3. it has its own proof of work
4. itβs fully distinct from bitcoin l1
fractal is a mix of existing bitcoin sidechains:
- like rootstock: itβs merge mined (2 blocks on fractal, 1 on bitcoin)
- like stacks: it can post a merkle root to bitcoin (optional)
- like meta-protocols: it can index l1 transactions (optional)
- like liquid: it sticks close to bitcoinβs codebase
- like drivechains: the goal is multiple sidechains (multiple fractals)
- like bsv: itβs a separate pow chain with its own token
downsides:
1. **limited smart contracts**: no turing complete contracts, just bitcoin script. they want to add CAT to increase functionality.
2. **no bitcoin bridge innovation**: they use mpc-based bridging, similar to basic multi-sig. no new innovation here yet.
fractal is trying to be the most bitcoin-like sidechain. if you're into the many-sidechains vision for bitcoin, keep an eye on this. but don't expect much programmability right now. we'll see how they evolve.

In Argentina, President Milei ended rent controls and cut housing regulations.
The result?
Housing supply up 212%
Rental prices are down 26%
Mortgage costs are down 30%
