China Afternoon Missive
Now the commentariat shifts focus to #China. No deal was struck with the US, meaning that Xi Jinping was unwilling to take the Trump call, unlike Trudeau and Sheinbaum, and now the 10% tariffs are formally on. For its part, China has followed with 15% tariffs on certain US imports albeit starting next week.
Expect there to be an ungodly deluge of headlines and social media commentary. Please take all the “hot takes” with a large grain of salt. The US is operating from a position of bellicosity, nothing more. Moreover, when you take a moment and actually consider all pressure points from both sides, you’ll quickly find that China is equally positioned if not the party with actual leverage.
The only certainty is that there’ll be more volatility across all asset classes. Stay safe out there fam
China to levy additional tariffs of up to 15% on select U.S. imports starting Feb. 10 https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/04/china-levies-tariffs-on-select-us-imports-starting-feb-10.html?__source=iosappshare%7Ccom.apple.UIKit.activity.CopyToPasteboard
Thanks for this Peter. Obviously I’m no expert in this area but I would have thought that with the thousands of people that work in these governments that they would be able to come of with something more intelligent that just tit for tat tariffs? Can we not have a bit more chess and not checkers? Or are tariffs the the final resort?
Damn, the tariffs on those Mexican avocados hit you already?
Wow!!! I’m reading Dune at the minute. This reminds me of Arrakis
It’s not priced in 丰 but you can pay in bitcoin and ‘crypto’ I’ve not used as yet but heard good things
I know a lot of people are sharing this but some haven’t given credit to Jeff Park from BitWise, so just doing it on my end here.
This conclusion pretty much matches with what nostr:npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l has been saying for months now.
I’d bet #bitcoin is going higher, sooner. Not financial advice obviously, you do you. 
Interesting thesis. May you live in interesting times

Is #Bitcoin no longer LEGAL TENDER in El Salvador 🇸🇻 ?
According to Julie Kozack, Director of the Communications Department at the IMF, the use of Bitcoin is now "voluntary".

Wasn’t it always ‘voluntary’?
Don’t know if it’s a getting older thing or interest in #bitcoin but finding myself going down history rabbit holes recently. Industrialisation during the gilded/progressive era. Oil, railroads, steel, workers rights etc #history
