Not likely as long as Trump tariffs and many other factors have the economy worldwide this messed up. Also BRICS would be nations have been accumulating as much gold as they can as support for move away from US financial hegemony.

Bankster used paper gold ETFs to suppress price for a long time. Apparently gold price escaped that. They controlled it but their control has been slipping for a while in the last couple of years. And here we are.

Jesus. Huge demand for gold by all countries and many economically nervous people. Ever heard of supply and demand? There is nothing hype about it. Actually banksters and government have acted for decades to keep the price artificially low. That it has escaped their control should tell you a lot.

What the hell. Opencode is failing to actually perform any actions like creating files on disks. It tells me what it is going to do (thinking I guess or setting up tool/agent call?) then it doesn't do it. I have seen the same behavior with both local models and when gemini. Some other AI opined that it isn't handling the thinking/planning stream properly and things it is done before it does the think asked for.

Naw. Too many bitcoiners want BTC to be just another part of the bankster and government owned plantation. They have little reason to fear what they will embrace and smother.

a) he is a demented idiot

b) he is very much a would-be dictator

c) the real elites want the destruction Trump is creating for.. reasons

We have seen the Trumpster claim some great win that turned out to be a nothing burger too many times to believe this claim.

Appreciate the podcast invite but not really interested in becoming this type of personality right now.

My stance is fairly simple. If you give the government more power, that power will eventually be used against you. We saw this with 9/11. People wanted to stop terrorism and all it led to was the “temporary” establishment of the patriot act. Temporary is apparently a long time. I’m sure ice will also be temporary🤣

America is a burning building and they are going to block off the exits. We hear the talks about removing dual citizenships. Why? So you can’t leave. What happens when a 6102 type event happens again? You think people are buying all this gold for no reason? Something is coming and you’re not crossing state lines without ice searching your car. Carrying gold? It’s getting confiscated. Carrying large amounts of cash? That’s getting confiscated too. You’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy. We get to that reality with the normalization of a militarized police force roaming the streets.

But mahdood ice is only here to catch illegals. Why would they search your car? “Because people smuggle illegals in their vehicles too” says the government. ”Sorry but we have to make sure everyone is safe” says the government. “Ah well that’s understandable” says the republican as he lets these thugs violate the constitution even further. Search my car I don’t have anything to hide. If you’re not illegal, then you have nothing to worry about. If you’re not doing anything wrong, then you have nothing to lose. What blows my mind is that republicans are sounding like democrats right now 🤣

But that’s why it’s all bullshit. You’re being manipulated. It’s just identity politics. People react in opposition to the other party instead of thinking about what is in their best interest.

Idk the future but it would not surprise me one bit to see checkpoints established between state and city lines. I give republicans a lot of shit but that’s because I actually expected better of them. And because republicans have the guns, they are the ones who have to be manipulated into complying with this shit. The future of this country is in the hands of republicans and they’re giving it to Trump, a pedophile warmonger. GG America it was a good run 🫡

Government by construction is self-legalizing monopoly initiation of force over a territory and all the people within it. It is evil by design.

Then there is anarchy - no ruling class that can legally initiate force against everyone else at all.

The State coming to Bitcoin is horrifically bad news. The State corrupts everything. To get massive tradFi adoption it will make BTC very effectively part of the tradFi world and subject to the same regulations, control, rent-seeking, and restrictions of financial freedom. Wishing for and supporting that is suicidal.
