GET ON THE GOOD FOOT
OK SO WHAT exactly is your money worth?
Do you actually know?
I don’t think so.
We Used to know.
The 1923 penny, also known as the wheat penny, is composed of 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc. Now it’s worthless and no longer even made.
The 1923 Buffalo nickel, also known as the Indian Head nickel, is composed of 25% nickel and 75% copper.
The 1923 Standing Liberty Quarter is composed of 90% silver. This means that each coin contains 0.181 troy ounces of silver.
The 1923 Peace Silver Dollar is composed of 90% pure silver and 10% copper.
1923 1 troy ounce of gold = $21.32 dollars
1971 1 troy ounce of gold = 40.62 dollars
1971 Nixon takes us off the gold standard
Our measure of money becomes meaningless there is no standard weight.
You do not know how much any money is worth after that.
2025 1 troy ounce of gold = $3,041.00 … is it really?
Is the gold price manipulated?
Remember Libor Antitrust Case Against 16 Banks
Is your gold really gold all the way through? How do you know?
ON THE OTHER HAND YOU KNOW WHAT BITCOIN IS WORTH
THERE ARE ONLY 21 MILLION EVER EVER EVER
AND EVERYONE THINKS 4 MILLION HAVE BEEN LOST FOREVER BY 2025
1 BTC is worth 100 million satoshi’s
1 BTC = 1 BTC
1 BTC is worth $93,941
TODAY AMERICA IS BUYING BTC
- ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO, BECOMES THE 1st UNITED STATES CITY TO LAUNCH A STRATEGIC #BITCOIN RESERVE
- Arizona Makes History — First State to Launch Strategic #Bitcoin Reserve. Pledges Up to 10% of Public Funds. Arizona state approves first ever US Bitcoin reserve, set to invest 10% of $31.5B state assets
- NC House votes to appoint pension managers, allow state investment in crypto
The bills represent an effort to adjust state’s pension investments. Treasurer Brad Briner has thrown his support behind both.
WHITE HOUSE JUST SAID,
“THERE IS A SPACE RACE”
AMONG COUNTRIES TO ACCUMULATE #BITCOIN.
THE USA WILL BUY “VERY QUICKLY”
#Bitcoin has topped in the last two cycles at the trendline from the prior cycle’s early bull market.
I don’t know if it means anything, but I’ve always found it interesting. If this trend continues, it would mean:
~$300k in the next 12 months
~$800k in 2029
@skwp
Remember when Bitcoin crashed from $108k to $75k?
Back in 2011, Bitcoin broke $1. It then suffered a devastating crash to $0.67, skyrocketed to $30, only to CRASH to $2.
Imagine selling that bottom at $2. I can…because I did.
TESLA JUST REVEALED
NONE OF THEIR $1,050,300,000 #BITCOIN WAS SOLD IN Q1, 2025

Trump, earlier tonight: “I was sitting next to Elon and Dana White and noticed I was losing Pennsylvania. I thought they were cheating again, but then Elon turns to me and goes: ‘You’re gonna win Pennsylvania, they just don’t know it yet.’ 15 minutes later… We won.” Uhh…

I have a lot of friends both in New York and Washington DC at investment banks, commercial banks, hedge funds, pension funds, etc. that get face time with the administration.
They are almost all unanimously telling me something similar and very disturbing.
Regardless of the policies the administration is attempting to implement, the actual level of competence (especially amongst lower/career staffers) is simply not there.
They say that this is a stark contrast from 2017, when Trump first came in and largely just left Obama’s infrastructure in place at the Treasury, IRS, Commerce, Trade, etc.
This time around, Trump came in and purged the lifelong employees at these places and replaced them with people he owed favors to on his farewell tour.
People that are just simply unqualified to be doing these gloryless jobs.
Regardless of the merits of the actual policy changes, nearly everyone I speak to is saying the incompetency, lack of sophistication, lack of substance, and the elementary level understanding of the global economy and global capital markets, is stunning them on a daily basis.
I cannot get into specifics here, out of respect for my friends privacies, but the Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, and Bloomberg have all begun reporting on this open secret in depth in the past couple of days.
Feel free to cross examine me with their reporting!

90% of truck drivers voted for Trump…
“The whole shipping industry is collapsing. Imports dropped by 35%. At least 80 cargo ships have been cancelled, diverted, or left empty. Truck drivers are losing loads and their jobs. And 90% of Truck drivers voted for Trump.“
An anonymous GOP senator says everyone in Congress knows Trump is a disaster, but 1/3 of Republicans are cashing in on the grift, 1/3 are afraid of Trump wrecking their careers, and 1/3 are afraid of Trump’s cult members committing violence.
The FDA has officially announced they will be banning artificial dyes in the food supply by the end of 2026. This includes Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1, Blue 2, Green 3.
A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to rehire all Voice of America, Radio Free Asia and Middle East Broadcasting Network staff for now, and he said all congressional funding must resume to the outlets, which had been effectively shuttered by the administration.

The world has lost a powerful moral voice in Pope Francis. He spoke boldly for the poor and the marginalized—calling on leaders everywhere to center humanity and justice. Like so many of you, I take comfort in knowing his legacy lives on in the lives he touched and the progress he inspired.

I’m autistic
And when I heard RFK Jr. wants a government registry to track people like me
using private medical records
I didn’t think “safety”
I thought Nazi Germany
A roundup’s of disabled people
Because I know history
And I know exactly what comes after the list is made
This isn’t about health
This is about control
It’s about fear
It’s about marking people
People like me
Neurodivergent people
Different people
Don’t dress it up as policy
This is how roundups begin
You want to stop autism discrimination?
Start by not creating a fucking list
