Based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets, I am hereby raising the Tariff charged to China by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately. At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the U.S.A., and other Countries, is no longer sustainable or acceptable. Conversely, and based on the fact that more than 75 Countries have called Representatives of the United States, including the Departments of Commerce, Treasury, and the USTR, to negotiate a solution to the subjects being discussed relative to Trade, Trade Barriers, Tariffs, Currency Manipulation, and Non Monetary Tariffs, and that these Countries have not, at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape, or form against the United States, I have authorized a 90 day PAUSE, and a substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

⚡️💬 FUN FACT - The mysterious inventor of Bitcoin, going only by the username Satoshi Nakamoto, set April 5th—today—as their birthday. No one knows why for sure, but the date may be symbolic: it’s the same day the U.S. ordered citizens to turn in their gold under Executive Order.

When did Bitcoin reach critical mass?

Satoshi’s genius was in creating something that either stops quickly or becomes unstoppable.

There’s no slow burn. No middle ground.

It either goes big or it doesn’t go.

Once it has critical mass, it forces everyone to make a choice. You can’t ignore it forever.

The direction is now clear, but when did we reach that point?

⚡️🚨 STORY - His partner throws away his USB drive containing $3 million in cryptocurrency.

This is the incredible story of Ellie and Tom Hart.

During a spring cleaning session, Ellie tidies up a drawer filled with old mail, receipts, dead batteries, tangled cords, and an old USB drive.

She ends up throwing away everything in that drawer, thinking it was just old junk.

A few days later, Tom can't find his USB drive and asks Ellie if she has seen it.

"He asked if I had seen a small black USB drive he uses to store his Bitcoin. I froze. I knew instantly. My heart sank. I told him, 'I think I threw it away.' I felt terrible."

The couple immediately tried to find the USB drive by emptying the trash bags, but to no avail.

"There was this horrible mix of panic and hope, but deep down, I knew it was already too late."

The USB drive contained the Bitcoin Tom bought in 2013...

Tom explains that over the years, his e-wallet stored on the USB drive was now worth over $3 million, but without the device, the funds are inaccessible.

Ellie considers her action "the worst mistake of all time."

The couple says they struggle to move on and think about it constantly...

"You keep replaying the scene, the moment I picked it up, the second the drive landed in the trash. I did everything to cancel it. I never thought something so valuable could seem so ordinary."

Today, they are sharing their story to encourage people to be careful to avoid such incidents.

"If someone keeps money or something important on a USB drive, please label it, lock it up, don’t make the same mistake I did."
