This was a staged event - or so some think. There are many analysis of the video showing before, and after the blast with analysis on X. It wasn’t a drone strike, but it may have been ied. Many believe it was a staged event, but what actually happened is pure speculation. We do know that the camera was set up very well. https://x.com/ncopurum/status/1957557725035983339?s=46

100%. But leading up to that meeting was a big debate in the 1800's about central control versus decentralization (state power). The Power structure won in 1913 with the creation of the Federal Reserve. It's really been downhill since. The world has actually been in a constant state of war ever since. When a few men in the world control the money (the financially protected class) there will ALWAYS be conflict (no free markets). You could actually go back to the Civil War - many were taught to believe it was about slavery. It was not. Slavery was being phased out anyway. It was about property rights. The north wanted a strong CENTRAL/Collectivist government, and they won - and wrote the history books. The south actually lost the war because they over printed money (yes, the south had their own currency and it hyper-inflated - like ALL wars the country that hyper inflates their fiat first loses). Once the south lost, we started the LONG journey to a large central government, Federal Reserve, Jekyll Island, and 1971, and here we are... Bitcoin will finally change the course of human civilization. If Gold somehow wins (highly unlikely), we continue down the path of endless wars and booms/busts where most are slaves to a system owned by a few Elites that control the money.

The general population has the attention span of a 3 minute video. So this looks about right! 😁

100%. Over 10 years now living a #Bitcoin standard. My only worry is when to convert 'some' of the Bitcoin to US$ to live. Feel totally safe with most assets in cold storage (I can handle a 70% draw down and be fine - and anyone staying around for 10+ years could say the same). Not my ideal situation - but much safer feeling than being in say, the stock market.

Feels like the first 5 days of January 2026 moved faster than the last 5 years! 🤪 Total food change - complete 180! War interventions everywhere!

Treasury Companies are on sale. They are not going away. I'm sticking with #Bitcoin in cold storage but have bought a little in these companies. Not expecting instant gratification but over a few years and a bull run in #Bitcoin they should do quite well. That does not mean they won't go down more and if you are not a long term holder you probably get slaughtered (sell with 10-50% loss).
