⚡️🇫🇷🇪🇺 ALERT - It's now confirmed: no bank transfers will be possible in France on December 25 and 26.

The reason? The European TARGET2 system, which handles transfers between banks, will be closed on these two bank holidays.

In concrete terms, this means that if you need to receive a salary, pay a bill or send money, operations will be paused and will only resume on December 27.

This is an interruption planned and coordinated at European level, affecting several countries at the same time. To avoid unpleasant surprises, it's best to anticipate your transfers before these dates.

Bitcoin fixes that…

⚡️❌ NEW - X is now censoring posts in multiple countries, citing “local laws.”

Footage and reports from Gaza are being heavily censored and targeted.

As well as simple videos showing arbitrary arrests or any other content likely to "shock" the user, without this being precisely defined. What exactly is a shocking video? This vagueness allows the platform to censor arbitrarily, without clear justification.

Sorry, I don't use Primal much apart from posting podcasts but I thought I would share some of the work we are doing here trying to fix Bedford.

Beyond starting a football club and owning local businesses, I have become active in trying to fix the endless issues in the town.

We have economic issues, in that businesses are under pressure from the economic climate as well as growing government red tape. This is being compounded by a massive rise in anti-social behaviour. We have a plague of addiction issues, with large numbers of crackheads, alcoholics and shoplifters in the town. We have a rise in crime, including assaults on women.

This is not a good situation.

Two months ago I threatened the police, that if they did not fix the issue then I will. During August I am funding a private security initiative in the town, where 10 security guards will be deployed across the town as scarecrows, providing a security blanket for residents and businesses.

We have met with the local police and our activity will be coordinated with them. We are also trying to work with the local council too. I am considering establishing a shadow council in the town, outside of party politics, driving civic action.

Alongside the private security, we are building teams for cleaning, events and marketing to drive economic activity in the town.

I just thought I would share this. Bitcoin world has become a little stale to me, it is time to get out there and do things. The UK is pretty fucked at the moment so it is fight or flight time.

🚨🇺🇸TRUMP: EU MUST BUY $350B OF U.S. ENERGY TO ESCAPE TARIFFS

At a White House press conference, Trump rejected Brussels' “zero-for-zero” offer on car and industrial goods tariffs:

“No, it’s not enough… We have a deficit with the European Union of $350 billion and it’s gonna disappear fast.”

Trump said that deficit could be wiped out immediately if the EU buys an equivalent amount of U.S. energy:

“They can buy it… we can knock off $350 billion in one week.”

The ultimatum follows Trump’s announcement of 20% tariffs on the EU and minimum 10% tariffs on other trade partners, moves that have rocked global markets.

He also blasted the EU’s regulatory barriers, calling them “non-monetary tariffs” that block U.S. products through red tape and impossible standards.

I tried to use Brave on Android instead of Firefox and it's super annoying, shows me ads, has some horrific UI patterns, a weird categorization of tabs into boxes that makes everything harder to select and close. Is this what most people use? Did I download a virus?

⚡️🇺🇸🇪🇺 ALERT - A journalist was mistakenly added to an ultra-confidential conversation between top U.S. officials.

Here's a summary 👇

Mike Waltz, National Security Advisor, created this group including JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Tulsi Gabbard and other pundits to discuss strikes against the Houthis.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed attack plans with timetables, targets and weapons.

👉 JD Vance was particularly outspoken: "I just hate bailing Europe out again," he confided bluntly...

👉Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Defense, responds with brutal frankness: "I fully share your loathing of European free-loading. It's PATHETIC."

👉Stephen Miller, Trump's éminence grise, clarifies: "The president was clear: green light, but we soon make clear to Egypt and Europe what we expect in return."

Beyond the security scandal, this leak reveals that Vance's hostility towards Europe, already perceptible in his Munich speech, is not just a posture but the dominant position within the US administration.

From now on, American protection will come at a price.

It remains to be seen how much, and what the consequences will be for those who refuse to foot the bill.

⚡️🇦🇷 President Milei has referred the matter to the anti-corruption office to check whether anyone in his government (including himself) has behaved inappropriately.

The Argentine president calls for an investigation into the "LIBRA" crypto project he promoted.

He set up a special unit to investigate and hand over the findings to the courts.

Milei could face impeachment proceedings in Congress after opposition MPs said he had promoted a cryptocurrency that rapidly collapsed after launch.

According to an analysis based on transaction history, at least 24 addresses lost more than $1 million on LIBRA, and at least 61 addresses lost more than $500,000.

The address with the biggest loss spent $5.6 million on LIBRA and eventually sold them all for $430,000, with a dry loss of $5.17 million.
