India banned BitChat. @greybtc explains why it's pointless.

no government can stop the free flow of information. have a nice day.

On this day in 1923, the mighty Charlton Heston was born (as John Charles Carter.) He enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Forces in 1944 at age 20; served as a radio operator and aerial gunner in WWII; marched with MLK in 1963 (when much of Hollywood was too timid to join him); was elected president of the NRA in 1998 (again challenging Hollywood’s conformities). Here he is in his greatest role in Hollywood’s greatest film ("Ben-Hur"), and here he is exclaiming: “From my cold, dead hands.” Enjoy some rare courage and non-conformity from a Hollywood legend.

The top 1% gained $30T since 2020 while the bottom 50% hold $4.3T. That's not a bug; it's the design. Check the incentives: new money enters at the top, prices rise at the bottom. Bitcoin is the only asset the printer can't reach.

Hey, did you know there’s a bill before both Houses of Congress that would help Americans push back against foreign censorship? It’s called the GRANITE Act and nobody knows about it.

government of India officially removes bitchat from the App Store

There it is, annotated:

HYPOTHETICALLY… IF I BOUGHT MY HOUSE FOR $125,000 IN 2002 AND THE COUNTY NOW SAYS IT’S WORTH $487,000, WHERE DID I ACTUALLY MAKE $362,000? Did I sell it? No. Did I receive $362,000? No. Did somebody hand me a check for the new assessed value? Obviously not. But my property taxes still go up because, on paper, my house is suddenly worth hundreds of thousands more. That’s the part that doesn’t make sense to me. This isn’t income. It isn’t cash sitting in my bank account. It’s a number someone assigned to my property, and now I’m being billed based on that number. If my stock portfolio doubles but I don’t sell, I haven’t turned that gain into cash. If my salary stays the same, I don’t suddenly owe more income tax because someone thinks I’m worth more. So why does owning a home work differently? WHY AM I PAYING TAX ON A GAIN I NEVER REALIZED? A house isn’t just an investment. It’s where people live. You can pay off the mortgage, own the property outright, and still face a bigger bill every year because the value of the house went up on paper. At some point, you have to ask what “owning” something actually means if the cost of keeping it can keep rising because of money you never received. THIS ISN’T ABOUT WHETHER THE HOUSE IS “WORTH” MORE. IT’S ABOUT BEING CHARGED FOR VALUE YOU NEVER TURNED INTO CASH. And people are starting to notice.

Little known fact: BTC has NEVER been beaten by stocks over a 4 year investment duration. Even if you bought the top. In fact, at 42% CAGR, BTC beats the undisputed champion of hedge funds, Renaissance Technologies, who delivered 39% to their investors.

JUST IN: Legendary investor Bill Miller’s son, Miller IV, responds to MSCI's proposal to remove #Bitcoin treasury companies from its indexes as "non-operating." MSCI must be aware that the same framework "could already exclude gold miners, real estate firms, and holding firms like Berkshire Hathaway." "If the test is real, it hits Berkshire too. If it isn't, it's aimed at DATs." 👀

The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.

In February of this year… You could have bought a whole Bitcoin for just 12 ounces of gold. But no worries if you didn’t. Today you can still buy a whole Bitcoin, but now for 20 ounces of gold.

JUST IN: America's largest RIA founder Ric Edelman just said #Bitcoin could surge to $500,000 by 2030. "If 2% of global assets are allocated to BTC, it’ll be a million a coin." "BTC has been the best-performing asset class since inception. I see no reason it should stop." 🔥🚀

EVERYONE IN BITCOIN IS FOLLOWING SELFISH INCENTIVES. THAT'S EXACTLY WHY IT WORKS. Miners want bitcoin. The work they do to earn it makes Bitcoin's history expensive to rewrite. Users want to keep the rules they signed up for. In 2017, the businesses and pools claiming over 80% of the mining power still couldn't make them accept a hard fork. Governments can restrict mining, but miners go wherever they're welcome. When China restricted mining in 2021, the miners moved, and Bitcoin's issuance schedule didn't change. Nobody has to agree on what Bitcoin is for. All that and more ...in today's OUTSIDE MONEY!

Ready to have your mind blown? Senator John Kennedy on Elon Musk and DOGE exposing USAID, “I'll tell you what Mr. Musk discovered. I find it fascinating.

They're really mad at Mr. Musk. Hell, I think we ought to give him a medal”

THEY ARE ALREADY MOVING THROUGH MEXICO BECAUSE THEY THINK AMERICA MIGHT BLINK. Trump secured the border. Democrats want it back open. That caravan is a bet on blue victories in November and 2028. I refuse to let our country become a holding pen for future Democrat voters and another amnesty machine. Primary soft Republicans. Vote red. Keep ICE funded and the SAVE America Act alive.

If only we could ask Alan Greenspan about how to deal with this debt problem. Oh wait, Greenspan warned about this 20 years ago & 10 years ago, concluding, "Unfortunately, I don't see how we're going to get out of this before we have a crisis." PS: Jamie Dimon agreed with him👇

Software evolved from annual releases to quarterly, monthly, and now real-time updates. $STRC is showing what happens when capital markets begin moving at the speed of technology.

BREAKING: AMERICA'S #1 INVESTMENT ADVISOR RIC EDELMAN JUST SAID HE RECOMMENDS UP TO A 40% #BITCOIN ALLOCATION "WE NEED TO ARGUE FOR AN INCREASED ALLOCATION BY INVESTORS" "WE GOT THE MATH ON OUR SIDE" "WE GOT THE MARKET PERFORMANCE ON OUR SIDE" THIS IS ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE 🔥

Think before you vote this November.
