Canada rescinds digital services tax to advance stalled US trade talks: The tax imposed a 3% charge on digital revenues generated in Canada that surpassed $20 million, targeting companies with global earnings above $1.1 billion, which led U.S. President Trump to halt trade discussions. With Canada withdrawing the tax, both countries expect stalled trade talks to progress and reduce economic conflict affecting technology and other sectors. (GroundNews) -US Events- 1.

How The IMF Prevents Global Bitcoin Adoption (And Why They Do It): The only nations that were able to resist IMF pressure were El Salvador, prior to gaining an IMF loan, and Bhutan which does not have an IMF loan. Each country with an IMF loan who has adopted, or attempted to adopt Bitcoin at a nation-state level has been successfully thwarted, or largely thwarted by the IMF. The IMF fought Bitcoin adoption in El Salvador, CAR, and Argentina. Now they are fighting Pakistan’s intention to mine Bitcoin as a Nation State. Yet, at the grassroots level, Bitcoin undermines the IMF’s “crisis leverage” and increases resilience. Thriving communities don’t need bailouts, so the IMF can’t demand privatization in exchange for loans.

China Builds Global Gold-Vault Network: July’s BRICS Summit will quietly advance China’s gold-linked yuan settlement system, expanding beyond trade rhetoric to structural change.

That points to a potential national-security problem: lawmakers across partisan lines, industry leaders, think tanks, and others have warned that falling behind China on AI would put the United States at a disadvantage. Negative public sentiment could undermine congressional and financial support for research and development in the field. If building public trust in AI is critical for national security and U.S. competitiveness, how do you do it? One idea: give users more control.

Fear(0)/Greed(100) Index: 65/100 (Down 9 pts) Analyst Comments (AC): Forecast Friday: Since Iranian tensions seem to be winding down, lets look at the possibilities of geopolitical structures in the Middle East for the next few years. How will Israel's efforts at enemy proxy defeats, Iran's wounding and US deal-making 'remake' the middle east? Over the next few years, these recent events could reshape the Middle East into a more fragmented yet cautiously cooperative region. Israel’s strengthened position, bolstered by US and UK support, may deter direct challenges, enabling it to consolidate regional influence, particularly through normalized ties with Gulf states. Iran, wounded by proxy losses and economic pressures, is likely to pursue pragmatic diplomacy to avoid further isolation, potentially reviving nuclear talks or securing concessions in Yemen. The US’s deal-making approach could foster temporary alignments, like Saudi-Iran détente or progress on Palestinian governance, but unresolved issues—such as Syria’s power vacuum, climate-driven resource scarcity, and lingering Palestinian tensions—risk localized conflicts. This dynamic suggests a Middle East balancing cautious stabilization with persistent volatility, as Gulf states hedge via China and Russia, while the US selectively engages to counterbalance Iran’s influence.

Direct strikes on Iran remained inconceivable. That image of invincibility crumbled in the space of hours on June 13, when Israel launched a surprise, unprecedented attack deep inside Iran, shattering Tehran’s sense of security and unraveling its carefully cultivated aura of strength.

With the US Housing Authority taking this route, it will have a big impact on the understanding of individual sovereignty with respect to Bitcoin, again leading US citizens down a path of delegated decision-making and less individual freedoms (and responsibility). The result will again be less held wealth by a decentralized population.

The corporate 'adoption' of Bitcoin as a treasury is in full swing and the phenomena is shifting the initial purposes of Bitcoin from Satoshi's P2P currency network to one of corporate store of value. This may have significant effects on individual holders and users of Bitcoin, and could lead to friction between the corporate holders and individuals in the near future. The same could also be said of governments storing Bitcoin.
