The U.S. President has the statutory power to retaliate swiftly without waiting for new legislation from Congress. The SCOTUS has no say-so about the POTUS using Section 338. The use of Section 338 is totally at the discretion of the president - Period.

We, the people of the Earth, don’t give a flying fuck about your dictator’s-tyrant powers. Capisce?
Can you suck my digital dick next? Pleeease?




Hey Buddy!, I saw that today's opening was a little below last Monday's opening

Hey bud, I really dislike your username, can you elaborate on what it means for you?
Thanks.




tl;dr: This is fine (for both low-coiners and coiners). Wait it out. Don't do anything stupid!

+1 WO’s merit, but I guess Hueristic going to the casino for 3 days, is far more meritable than what you just wrote.




Certified diver idiot ….

FTFY.

Yo, Bigjoe158, check out the merits given today, by this pathetic narcissistic attention whore, who can only talk about himself, and the smartest thing he has ever done - was buy Bitcoin at the right time. He falls into the useful idiot category.

PS1: hiking on flip flops, is not very smart, is it? You’ll learn.
PS2: nice male body you got there - microgoosesns - too bad your large squared head is full of shit for brains.

From Blockchain To Ball-And-Chain: Are We Being Borg'd?

Quote
Blockchain is often sold as a liberating technology. It’s sold as a super-secure, shared digital notebook where transactions get recorded in unbreakable blocks that form a chain. These spread across thousands of computers worldwide so no single boss can tamper with it. It promises privacy and freedom from banks or governments. But from my skeptical angle, like the one Whitney Webb takes, it’s actually shaping up to be a high-tech ball and chain designed to track and control every aspect of our lives. This happens despite those privacy boasts. While blockchain claims to be decentralized and anonymous, most versions, like Bitcoin’s, create a permanent, public ledger where every transaction is traceable forever. This makes it easy for powerful entities from governments to corporations to follow your money trail. They link it to your identity through exchanges or data leaks. They can build detailed profiles on your habits, associations, and whereabouts.
Elites are co-opting this tech. They push for things like central bank digital currencies built on blockchain that tie your finances to digital IDs with biometrics. This turns everyday spending into a surveilled activity. In the future non-compliant behavior like buying the “wrong” things or associating with certain people could get you flagged, frozen out, or punished.  This could mean a world where your blockchain-tracked data feeds into AI systems that predict, manipulate, reward or punish your actions.

The ultimate goal is to enforce rules through programmable money. The programmable money can expire, restrict purchases, and track everything you purchase automatically. This is being pushed under the guise of security and efficiency. Critics on X say that because blockchains are so public and open, it’s easy for others to watch everything you do and even jump ahead of your trades to make quick money off you.
They argue that without true privacy, decentralization just hands control to the most resourced spies. This echoes Webb’s expose on how Bitcoin’s traceability makes it a tool for destroying real financial privacy in favor of elite-controlled systems.

Expose their plan before it’s too late. 
Don’t let them Borgify us and turn free humans into obedient, trackable nodes in their machine. Don’t let them steal nature and turn it into a commodity for the elite. Get active locally. Resist immediately. Slow their rollout to a crawl. The future isn’t theirs yet. We claim it by saying NO!
Resistance is NOT futile.
We will NOT comply.

Honestly, I’d go down on Witney Webb.
But the questions arise, how to resist, why is it not futile, and how do you not comply?

Well, Joey is on to something:

Capital Controls Are Already Here and No One Seems to Care

Quote
Every layer of the capital control stack depends on a single architectural assumption: that your money lives inside institutions. Banks hold your deposits. Brokerages hold your investments. Exchanges hold your crypto. Processors move your payments. And because your money sits inside these intermediaries, it’s subject to every regulation, reporting requirement, freeze order, and screening mechanism those intermediaries must comply with. The entire control apparatus is built on the chokepoint of institutional custody.
Bitcoin breaks that assumption. Not partially. Completely.
When you hold Bitcoin in self-custody, your wealth exists as information protected by cryptography. There is no intermediary holding it on your behalf. There is no bank to receive a freeze order. There is no account to close. There is no institution sitting between you and your money that can be pressured, fined, greylisted, or threatened into cutting you off. Your keys, your coins. That’s not a slogan. It’s a description of how the protocol works at a technical level.

Go back through the stack and test each layer against self-custodied Bitcoin.
The identity layer requires KYC at every financial institution you touch. But Bitcoin doesn’t require an institution. You can receive it directly, peer to peer. You can generate a wallet with no ID, no application, no approval. The network doesn’t know your name and doesn’t need to.

Every other financial asset you can name (every stock, bond, bank deposit, or piece of real estate) exists within a legal and institutional framework that governments control. They can change the rules on taxation, restrict your ability to sell, freeze your account, or dilute your purchasing power through monetary expansion. You participate in the financial system at their discretion.

Bitcoin is the first asset in human history where that’s not the case. Not because of any legal protection (governments can and do regulate on-ramps and off-ramps), but because of how the technology works. The protocol doesn’t have a “comply with government order” function. It simply validates transactions according to mathematical rules.

I hope it’s clear for the BTCelephant.in.the.room
#self.custody
#btc.is.the.backbone

And since we’re on bombthrower:

The Epstein Egregore

Quote
I thought that belief in a vast, overarching conspiracy of powerful elites who controlled everything was Loserthink. It ingrained a sense of helplessness in the believer, which made them ambivalent and docile.
Now I realize that I’m the loser – at least in the eyes of everyone in The Club, because there is now no doubt, except to the willfully ignorant – that The Club exists, and the entire political ruling class, the corporate oligarchs, the TED-class influencers and CNN talking heads and panelist experts, are all in it.
Seeing now that The Club exists, and whatever is behind it pulls the levers of power, narrative, and money itself, doesn’t make me feel helpless after all.
It makes me angry. As it likely does for a lot of people.

My next piece explores a strange new social construct about to enter into competition with other established sovereignties. My purpose here is to convince you that its emergence is probable, if not inevitable. I begin this exploration with an unproven assumption based on game theory and simple incentives: a new class of irregular sovereigns will appear on our planet, an evolutionary prototype designed to oppose Luciferian predation. Another assumption then follows: these factions will evolve gradually and incrementally from largely compromised nation states, just as we apparently evolved from previous obsolete governance structures. A further assumption suggests that these groups have already appeared as evolutionary prototypes, as guerrillas with advanced methods of resiliency and new forms of communications and asymmetric tactics designed to support and advance their insurgency.

Way to go Mark, +1 WO’s merit.

Scam calls/emails are increasing in volume and sophistication.
It seems that at some point much more people will get hacked one way or another.


Re bitcoin...it seems that it "wants" to bump to at least 72K (20% up from 60).
At that point, it would "decide" to either continue plunging or stabilize.

Most trading individuals are on a simplistic side..."it would do what it has always done: -70-80%".
I wonder if bitcoin is capable of behaving in a contrarian fashion, because the "consensus" of cyclists is 29-38K (-77 to -70%).
To me, this would be a test of bitcoin's ability to do something unexpected.

I surely wouldn't touch it with new buys at 29K as miners would be severely damaged, imho, and the whole "store of value" concept would be jeopardized as well since there is no FTX excuse this time. Contrary to others here, I think that buying on the down-slope is the invitation to ruin.


It's nothing new, but from time to time people start receiving scam letters to their home addresses thanks to data leaks from companies that sell hardware wallets or those that require KYC so that people can use their services. That's not actually a problem, the real problem is that someone knows/assumes that you have cryptocurrencies in your possession, so they will try the easier way first, and if they fail, there is always the option of a night visit (unannounced, of course).

So be prepared to show them worthy hospitality, the way such guests deserve.

He doesn’t want microgoosens crying off like a pussy that he is, because he’s a useful idiot, and these fake digital merits must carry on with the show - and the sole reason they were first put in place.

Great news, congrats!
Triple check your gear and weights, every time. Even slightly more than 10 meters below surface usually result in unpleasant to life threatening conditions when it comes to accidents.
I'm still fine with snorkeling, but i already considered to make a diving cert a few times.

once again trump can do 15% to the entire world easy on the 1974 statue.

in fact he already moved up from 10 to 15%


the other statute is more demanding and more subject to court battles.

yes in some case he can do 50% if he is able to prove the country is fucking the USA.

so for instance slap every country in the world with 15% which means no prejudice.  then slap 50% on any country that retaliates against the 15% he dished out.

but if china say sure hit us with 15% we will slap back with 14.9% he has zero reason to attack china with 50%

do you see the math?


actually i like 15% to every country in the world.

as of today he is hitting brazil with 15%

he was hitting them with 50%



so 10 bucks of coffee gets taxed to $11.50

instead of being taxed to $15.00

this should save me $7 a week for a new btc dca move.

Phil, i understand your point, i don't even want to argue about tariffs or their percentage, but you know who is effectively paying for them, don't you?

Environmental, social, and governance ESG

  Environmental, social, and governance is shorthand for an investing principle that prioritizes
 environmental issues, social issues, and corporate governance.
 Investing with ESG considerations is sometimes referred to as responsible investing or,
in more proactive cases, impact investing. The term is also frequently used interchangeably
 with corporate social responsibility and sustainability, although these concepts have different
 foci, origins and applications. The term ESG first came to prominence in a 2004 report titled
 "Who Cares Wins", which was a joint initiative of financial institutions at the invitation of the
 United Nations. By 2023, the ESG movement had grown from a UN corporate social
 responsibility initiative into a global phenomenon representing more than US$30 trillion in
 assets under management.
   Criticisms of ESG vary depending on viewpoint and area of focus
"
> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental%2C_social%2C_and_governance

But No!, my user name is the first letters of my name, and the first is 'Everton',

Everton= The first part of the name, “Ever,” is believed to be derived from an old regional term meaning “boar.”
 In ancient times, boars were revered for their strength and ferocity,
symbolizing power and courage. The connection between Everton and boars
hints at a village that may have been known for its boar-related activities
or even had a boar as its emblem.

 The second part, “ton,” referred to a settlement or village.
 This suggests that
 Everton may have been a thriving community,
where people lived and worked together,
 united by their shared connection to the boar.

Imagine the bustling streets of Everton in ancient times,
with villagers going about their daily lives, their livelihoods intertwined
with the presence of the boar. Perhaps there were skilled hunters
who provided meat for the community,
or craftsmen who used boar-related imagery in their art and creations.

 If humanity really wants to get rid of the controlling power, the first thing to do is to tear down all the wireless transmission towers that make up the worldwide broadcast network, (Read about biosensors) after this first step is completed,
the second part is to prevent them from building new towers or other methods of wireless data transmission.
 By doing so, more than 50% of the path to a free humanity will be completed...
But the hardest part is to unite humanity, since every day the human being wakes up
with the purpose of attacking someone and feeling good about harming others,
as an individual ecstasy, forgetting the power of union, the individualization of the being,
 is financed by governments day after day, consume, obey and do not question!

I have paid 10k directly on Chinese mining gear. So I certainly paid some of the Trump tariffs.

And I drink a lot of coffee Trump taxes Brazil 50% coffee went from 10 to15 a bag I pay that.

My wife and I buy fruit from overseas We pay that.

Pc components are way up.

Samsung ssds have mooned In price I pay  that.

I estimate

20k in tariffs due to Trump and Biden.

I estimate I use 12,000÷50= 240 gallons of gas I save a dollar a gallon. 240 in savings.

So 20,000-240= 19760 in the hole.

And over 21,000 profit on silver.

Plus 1,240

Hard to figure trumps tariffs on btc but when Biden left last Jan btc was 106k

It is now 68k

If I choose to blame Trump for that drop and I have 1.5 coins than he cost me over 1.5x38k or 57k

I DO NOT CHOOSE to blame Trump for btc drop.

So I would say I am up 1260 from Trump tariffs.

Makes sense. I thought that fairies were traditionally male homosexuals. That one looks like it identifies as female.

That makes it a tranny, right?
