Two of the largest holders of U.S. debt started walking toward the exit at the same time. Japan sold $71 billion in Treasuries, its biggest offload in decades. China is doing the same, just quieter. But the selling isn't the real story. It's what they're buying with the proceeds. Both are dumping dollars and stacking gold to record highs. That's the signal that matters. When the world's biggest economies trade U.S. paper for hard metal, they're placing a bet on where this all ends. And Japan doesn't even have a choice. Buried under ¥15.3 trillion in bond losses, it has to keep selling Treasuries just to prop up a collapsing yen. That pressure only builds from here. Here's why it spirals: More selling → Higher yields → More strain → More intervention → More gold buying → Less dollar dependence. Round and round, feeding itself. Now the timing. When U.S. markets reopen from the long weekend on September 8, they have to price all of it at once, record foreign selling, rising yields, a softer dollar, and they'll do it on thin, post-holiday liquidity. That's the trap. Rising yields quietly rot the foundation under stretched valuations. And a market propped up by five names has nothing underneath if bonds start cracking. This is how a financial order changes. Not in one crash. Slowly, then suddenly. npub1f2fulumd6737wyt3whjjrjz9dwecgteu9ghq9txm7lzkspr3muasfkqlqs cryptoshi2k21.bitcoin Someone made an ai fat video of the #WNBA #NBBLA 🏀 #Video #Funny https://blossom.primal.net/265c2e33e279e105bd5ffaeddbd120c3817ef39265201b4b5df161f5b06d812a.mp4 npub1f2fulumd6737wyt3whjjrjz9dwecgteu9ghq9txm7lzkspr3muasfkqlqs cryptoshi2k21.bitcoin Average Lindsay Clancy supporters https://blossom.primal.net/3211a0993c783fba3ac7bb70216e9e85956ef3ef39bcba7e809c3f8ed6fd6791.mp4 npub1f2fulumd6737wyt3whjjrjz9dwecgteu9ghq9txm7lzkspr3muasfkqlqs cryptoshi2k21.bitcoin No way she makes her man nut 27 times in a day 😭 https://blossom.primal.net/a8fa82ec85df0306a625cdcedb7732427eaab810d1c26deafcb9acecc10b6531.mp4 npub1f2fulumd6737wyt3whjjrjz9dwecgteu9ghq9txm7lzkspr3muasfkqlqs cryptoshi2k21.bitcoin "If you're under 40, #Bitcoin is your new gold." — #Kevin #Warsh, Jan 2021.

With this single stroke of a pen, the #communist #dictatorship of the Rákosi era abolished the final bastions of urban private property. The regime aimed not only to deal a financial blow to the so-called "class enemies," but also to target the deepest sphere of private life: the safety of the home. The law operated with ruthless precision. Former owners lost their apartment buildings, villas, or hard-earned condominiums overnight, without any compensation whatsoever. In the capital alone, more than 36,000 properties fell into state hands. According to the dictatorship's ideology, this was the punishment of "capitalists and exploiters," but in reality, the urban middle class was stripped of its past and its wealth. The real drama began when authorities appeared at the doors of spacious, upper-middle-class apartments. Since the state was incapable of providing housing for the factory workers flooding into the cities, it resorted to a violent solution: introducing the institution of the társbérlet (co-tenancy / forced shared housing). Large homes were divided by walls or simply by partitions. The original owner's family was squeezed into a single room, while strangers who had moved from the countryside and were loyal to the Communist Party were moved into the remaining rooms. The shared use of the kitchen and bathroom became a constant source of friction; private life ceased to exist, and suspicion and forced cohabitation became a daily reality behind closed doors. The most brutal chapter of the process, however, was the wave of #deportations. The residents of elegant villas in Buda and grand apartments, aristocrats, former civil servants, and factory owners were loaded onto trucks and deported to rural forced labor camps or remote farms, leaving all their property behind. Yet, these real estates did not go to the celebrated working class. The vacant homes, fully furnished with luxury items, were allocated by members of the communist party elite, officers of the ÁVH (State Protection Authority – the notorious Hungarian secret police), and Soviet advisors to themselves, settling into the lives of those they had driven out. The management of the nationalized buildings was eventually taken over by the local Councils' IKV (Ingatlankezelő Vállalat – Real Estate Management Company; the state-run enterprise responsible for maintaining public housing). From that point on, an apartment was no longer a market commodity or a family heritage, but a state benefit granted on political grounds, distributed based on loyalty to the Party. Because the state kept rents artificially low, the IKV never had the budget or the will for maintenance. The facades of historic #Budapest buildings began to crumble, and the once-patrician apartment houses decayed and became impoverished for decades, bearing the tangible marks of the dictatorship's inner workings. npub1f2fulumd6737wyt3whjjrjz9dwecgteu9ghq9txm7lzkspr3muasfkqlqs cryptoshi2k21.bitcoin #Disney’s new CEO Josh D’Amaro eliminates gender neutral language, brings back “Ladies and Gentlemen” and fires 1,000 employees in an effort to restore “common sense culture”. https://blossom.primal.net/e2b77e2d91e89f70eb57009bfdfeb0eacc54ca2b3bc1fad68e3bc507b6f0de37.jpg npub1f2fulumd6737wyt3whjjrjz9dwecgteu9ghq9txm7lzkspr3muasfkqlqs cryptoshi2k21.bitcoin When #Bitcoin goes up… I get more freedom When Bitcoin goes down… I get more Bitcoin, to then have more freedom npub1f2fulumd6737wyt3whjjrjz9dwecgteu9ghq9txm7lzkspr3muasfkqlqs cryptoshi2k21.bitcoin #Canada 🇨🇦 #Memes #Funny 😂 https://blossom.primal.net/46f4907cd7aebcd06b6f70992914c00732fece61779fbb13073bacc701a5bc2d.jpg npub1f2fulumd6737wyt3whjjrjz9dwecgteu9ghq9txm7lzkspr3muasfkqlqs cryptoshi2k21.bitcoin #Canada 🇨🇦 #Memes #Funny 😂 https://blossom.primal.net/4ef709f36cbf97717324cc624979807d9c468bcd7b9555e525ceb53b08d2fab3.jpg npub1f2fulumd6737wyt3whjjrjz9dwecgteu9ghq9txm7lzkspr3muasfkqlqs cryptoshi2k21.bitcoin #Canada 🇨🇦 #Memes #Funny 😂 https://blossom.primal.net/25213c3292d7dd76ca62b4e66d65fcbe563db14a66c48d1f65d9a3e9448b6413.jpg npub1f2fulumd6737wyt3whjjrjz9dwecgteu9ghq9txm7lzkspr3muasfkqlqs cryptoshi2k21.bitcoin #Canada 🇨🇦 #Memes #Funny 😂 https://blossom.primal.net/2c0a8695ac91832016cb44f4f7ed6abcb3510d73175aa14ece0497de4426b484.jpg npub1f2fulumd6737wyt3whjjrjz9dwecgteu9ghq9txm7lzkspr3muasfkqlqs cryptoshi2k21.bitcoin #Canada 🇨🇦 #Memes #Funny 😂 https://blossom.primal.net/9fd731673f2dabeb34f29a075c67d908582ad1096f9baf008a56520941b318e3.jpg npub1f2fulumd6737wyt3whjjrjz9dwecgteu9ghq9txm7lzkspr3muasfkqlqs cryptoshi2k21.bitcoin #Canada 🇨🇦 #Memes #Funny 😂 https://blossom.primal.net/7879a5ad9b0077fe66f688917c8e18b7dc829fe7de2f216b0151eaa80293d846.png npub1f2fulumd6737wyt3whjjrjz9dwecgteu9ghq9txm7lzkspr3muasfkqlqs cryptoshi2k21.bitcoin #Canada 🇨🇦 #Memes #Funny 😂 https://blossom.primal.net/b265aba57b85d1b609c0b42429ffc356a1e31b9eba50e7062b464c852a386d5f.jpg npub1f2fulumd6737wyt3whjjrjz9dwecgteu9ghq9txm7lzkspr3muasfkqlqs cryptoshi2k21.bitcoin #Canada 🇨🇦 #Memes #Funny 😂 https://blossom.primal.net/45c1edca2db79e883a7cf6c2fd5e09f9879e00951e81ffb618ad3aaba27d013a.jpg npub1f2fulumd6737wyt3whjjrjz9dwecgteu9ghq9txm7lzkspr3muasfkqlqs cryptoshi2k21.bitcoin Hyperscaler Net Income and Free Cash Flow https://blossom.primal.net/f83b5b0100e77926657fbe860eb55415d889059612a1f306f39a2b56f5ac710b.png npub1f2fulumd6737wyt3whjjrjz9dwecgteu9ghq9txm7lzkspr3muasfkqlqs cryptoshi2k21.bitcoin 🔴 MOO IMBALANCE S&P 500: -162.3 MLN NASDAQ 100: 16.5 MLN DOW 30: -30.8 MLN MAG 7: 16.2 MLN MACRO npub1f2fulumd6737wyt3whjjrjz9dwecgteu9ghq9txm7lzkspr3muasfkqlqs cryptoshi2k21.bitcoin 🚨🇫🇷New poll in France shows Marine Le Pen winning the election by a massive margin.

Once they spend the money, rebuild the workflows and get comfortable operating without you, that leverage becomes much harder to recover... the investment keeps working long after the feud cools down...

This is the foundational insight that most people miss entirely, because they only see the check written to the IRS. Taxation distorts the price system. When you tax an activity, people do less of it. Tax income, and people work less, hide earnings, or shift compensation into non-taxed forms like corporate perks. The 1986 Tax Reform Act generated an entire cottage industry of accountants specifically because complexity creates arbitrage. That industry produces nothing consumable. It exists only because the tax code exists. Then there's the capital destruction nobody eulogizes. When the federal government took 37% from high earners in 2025, it didn't just take money. It took the investments those earners would have made. The factory floor that never got built. The startup that didn't get seed funding. You never see that missing factory on CNN because it never existed to photograph. Frédéric Bastiat called this the unseen in 1850. The concept has aged better than every Keynesian textbook published since. Compliance costs alone consume serious resources. The Tax Foundation estimated Americans spent 6.5 billion hours complying with federal tax law annually. At even $25 per hour, that's $162 billion in pure deadweight: real human time producing zero output for anyone. Free market thinkers have long argued that taxation corrupts incentive structures in ways that compound over generations. You subsidize failure (bailouts funded by tax revenue) and penalize success simultaneously. Eventually, you get less success and more failure. The numbers don't care about intentions. #End #Fed #IRS https://blossom.primal.net/b8688c7bf2432d7cb5cdb96fad9e5b2b8cc98c51f67f68218459abe86313125b.jpg npub1f2fulumd6737wyt3whjjrjz9dwecgteu9ghq9txm7lzkspr3muasfkqlqs cryptoshi2k21.bitcoin It’s so simple if you think about it like this. Money was gold and gold was money. $35 for one ounce. 1 ounce = $35. Fixed. Then they decoupled the price of money from the price of gold, money was no longer gold. Then suddenly the price of gold went to $800. Why would that be? #Richard #Nixon closed the gold window on August 15, 1971, and the price of gold promptly told you everything about what governments had been doing to money for decades. The story begins in 1944 at #Bretton #Woods, where allied governments fixed gold at $35 per ounce and promised to redeem dollars on demand. The promise lasted until foreign central banks, watching the U.S. print dollars to fund Vietnam and the Great Society simultaneously, started calling the bluff. France literally sent ships to collect gold. Nixon's response to this discipline: eliminate the discipline. Default dressed as policy. What followed was a brutal market reaction. Gold hit $200 by 1974, then touched $800 in January 1980. That 2,200% move over a decade was measurement. Gold measured the dollar's collapse in real time, and the dollar collapsed because the Federal Reserve, unshackled from any redemption obligation, printed with extraordinary enthusiasm throughout the 1970s. Annual CPI ran above 13% by 1979. The savings of ordinary Americans evaporated while Washington blamed OPEC, corporations, and the weather. Free market economists had predicted exactly this. Ludwig von Mises spent his career explaining that fiat money transfers wealth from those who hold savings to those who control the printing press. The 1970s proved his insight at scale. The state's monopoly on currency is organized theft protected by legal tender laws, enforced at gunpoint if necessary. Gold's explosion from $35 to $800 was the market's verdict: fifty years of government monetary management found criminal. #Bitcoin #Fixes #This https://blossom.primal.net/d4e067cf0053070d291066ec0e79f75f0f59792d570067433718ed0822e6027b.mp4 npub1f2fulumd6737wyt3whjjrjz9dwecgteu9ghq9txm7lzkspr3muasfkqlqs cryptoshi2k21.bitcoin How to fix your broken economy: Step 01 Privatize everything.

New money, conjured from nothing, chasing the same goods you were already buying. Prices rise. You get poorer. Nobody voted for this. Nixon finished the job on August 15, 1971, severing the last link between the dollar and gold. At that moment, the U.S. government unilaterally defaulted on its #Bretton #Woods obligations, simply announcing to the world that the rules had changed. Nixon called it a "temporary" measure. Fifty-five years later, temporary is still in effect. When the Fed expands the money supply, the new money flows first to banks, financial institutions, and government contractors. Those early recipients spend it before prices adjust. By the time the money reaches you, wages and savings have already lost ground. This is the Cantillon effect, named after Richard Cantillon, who described it in 1730. Wealth transfers silently from savers to asset-holders. From you to them. Sound money advocates have documented this exhaustively. The data is not ambiguous. The dollar has lost over 97% of its purchasing power since 1913. Savings punish you. Debt rewards you. The entire incentive structure tilts toward spending today, borrowing recklessly, and holding real assets. This system is designed to fund unlimited government spending through monetary expansion rather than honest taxation. #End #Fed #IRS #Bitcoin #Only https://blossom.primal.net/75942559680f898cf02a9939a48a502cf47033c3cdc80864dd3fa196ac4097e2.png npub1f2fulumd6737wyt3whjjrjz9dwecgteu9ghq9txm7lzkspr3muasfkqlqs cryptoshi2k21.bitcoin The #ANC does not govern #South #Africa 🇿🇦 It extracts from it.

Where Jacob Zuma's government systematically looted an estimated R500 billion through state capture between 2009 and 2018, according to the Zondo Commission's own findings. Mismanagement is the incorrect term for what they are doing. Mismanagement implies someone tried. Free market thinkers can explain why this happens. When government controls resources without facing profit and loss, the people running it face no feedback mechanism. The politician who loots Transnet's locomotive procurement budget suffers nothing. You suffer the freight delays, the port backlogs, the closed businesses. He suffers a comfortable retirement. The cruelest part is the cage. Capital controls under exchange control regulations restrict how much money South Africans are "allowed" to move offshore. The tax base keeps shrinking as skilled workers emigrate, yet the state expands. The rand has lost roughly 70% of its value against the dollar since 2010. Black Economic Empowerment concentrates wealth among ANC-connected elites while creating the illusion of redistribution. Cyril Ramaphosa's own fortune grew through BEE dealmaking. The poor stay poor. The connected get rich. You fund all of it. Come election day, they bus in millions of illiterates who are under the impression the ANC itself pays for their govenment grants, then they give them some KFC to seal the deal for the next 5 years. #Bitcoin #Fixes #This https://blossom.primal.net/4b43f4117419f2c1f3c10e05adb90d9316bdc60d7bf6dddb96bf1e541d39bed6.png npub1f2fulumd6737wyt3whjjrjz9dwecgteu9ghq9txm7lzkspr3muasfkqlqs cryptoshi2k21.bitcoin Yes npub1f2fulumd6737wyt3whjjrjz9dwecgteu9ghq9txm7lzkspr3muasfkqlqs cryptoshi2k21.bitcoin #Rome didn't #fall because of barbarians. It fell because emperors couldn't stop spending money they didn't have. The process was mechanical. Roman armies were expensive. The legions demanded pay, the frontiers demanded fortification, and the grain dole demanded perpetual subsidy. When tax revenue fell short, emperors did what every desperate government does: they debased the currency. The denarius, once nearly pure silver under Augustus, contained just 5% silver by the reign of Gallienus in the 260s AD. They shaved the coins, mixed in base metals, and still called it money. Prices responded accordingly. Monetary inflation causes price inflation, whether it happens in Rome 2000 years ago or in 2026. You'd have watched this in real time as a Roman merchant. The goods sitting in your warehouse cost you the same labor and transport to acquire. But the coins arriving in payment bought less each month. Diocletian's Edict on Maximum Prices in 301 AD attempted to cap inflation by law, threatening death for anyone charging above the mandated rates. Sellers simply withdrew their goods from market rather than sell at a loss. Price controls produced shortages. Shortages produced famine. The spiral tightened. As trade collapsed, tax revenue fell further. Soldiers went unpaid or received debased coin they couldn't spend. Loyalty evaporated. Provincial generals raised their own armies and declared themselves emperor (there were over 50 claimants in the 3rd century alone). Free market thinkers have always pointed to this sequence as the purest historical case study in monetary destruction. When government substitutes political will for sound money, it doesn't bend economic law. It cannot bend.

Tribe, bloodline, and past loyalty meant nothing to him. Skill meant everything. He made this literal. Jebe, one of his most feared generals, started out as an enemy soldier who put an arrow through Genghis Khan’s own horse in battle. Rather than execute him, Genghis Khan recruited him on the spot, because a man who could shoot that well and fight that hard was worth more alive and loyal than dead and wasted. Subutai, arguably the greatest field commander of the entire Mongol conquest, came from a family of blacksmiths with no noble blood at all. In an era when every throne in Europe and Asia handed out command by birthright, a herder’s son could rise to general under the Khan purely by winning. Compare that to how modern states fill their top jobs. Cabinet posts go to donors and party loyalists. Central bank seats go to whoever spent the most years inside the right university-to-government pipeline, never to whoever priced risk best. Regulatory agencies get run by people who never built or ran the thing they now regulate. Competence is optional, connections are not. A thirteenth-century warlord on the steppe figured out that results should decide who leads. Governments with access to every tool of modern administration still cannot manage it. The market punishes incompetence with bankruptcy. The state rewards it with a bigger office and a longer tenure. #Bitcoin #Fixes #This https://blossom.primal.net/494b015bf4fbe3dc2415726adf85a6146dfbdc812bf38447a2b1a67d29705669.jpg npub1f2fulumd6737wyt3whjjrjz9dwecgteu9ghq9txm7lzkspr3muasfkqlqs cryptoshi2k21.bitcoin #End #FED #IRS #Milton #Friedman #Bitcoin #Only https://blossom.primal.net/e9db94291ed7625d3e76e3ba04b0808d9009285803c88b8bee1c273c209edaab.jpg npub1f2fulumd6737wyt3whjjrjz9dwecgteu9ghq9txm7lzkspr3muasfkqlqs cryptoshi2k21.bitcoin I am no math genius, but I think food and apartment rental prices would go down if we deport 20 million people. #Bitcoin #Fixes #This npub1f2fulumd6737wyt3whjjrjz9dwecgteu9ghq9txm7lzkspr3muasfkqlqs cryptoshi2k21.bitcoin Of course #Pope #Leo would meet with saxophone legend Blue Lou Marini of “#Blues #Brothers” fame.

By 46 BC, Julius Caesar found 320,000 people lining up for their monthly ration. That eight-fold expansion happened in under three decades, and it shows you how welfare states actually grow. No Roman senator stood up and announced a plan to addict a third of the city to government bread. It happened incrementally, through political competition. Each magistrate who wanted votes expanded eligibility. Each expansion normalized the next one. The citizen who once considered the dole shameful eventually expected it, then demanded it, then organized politically to protect it. This is the core mechanism free market thinkers have identified across every era: once you create a transfer program, you create a constituency for that program. Recipients vote. Administrators build careers. Grain merchants who supply the state develop a stake in keeping the contracts flowing. The political economy locks in. Caesar, to his credit, actually cut the rolls back to 150,000 through verification audits. It was one of his more economically coherent moves, though the Senate still murdered him. His successors quietly let the numbers climb again. What did the dole require? Massive grain imports from Sicily, Sardinia, and Egypt, organized through state logistics at state expense, funded by taxation and conquest. When the conquest revenue dried up, the obligation remained. Rome had written a check against future military success, and future military success eventually failed to arrive. The lesson is not complicated. Distribute a benefit and you distribute dependency. Distribute dependency and you distribute political power to whoever controls the distribution. The grain dole didn't weaken Rome overnight, but it made every subsequent reform politically impossible. #Bitcoin #Fixes #This https://blossom.primal.net/f54627a3eeb9b08e8f2e41888ba7c9e177c32fa47bc46d0c06bff6ccf81b3b1f.png npub1f2fulumd6737wyt3whjjrjz9dwecgteu9ghq9txm7lzkspr3muasfkqlqs cryptoshi2k21.bitcoin #Bitcoin #Only https://blossom.primal.net/1ad4dbb391816eca07ef9e1c1ad5609b1a32d67333ec756a62c782cf50164722.jpg npub1f2fulumd6737wyt3whjjrjz9dwecgteu9ghq9txm7lzkspr3muasfkqlqs cryptoshi2k21.bitcoin Hull City just proved this little guy was right all along about Manchester United https://blossom.primal.net/07139d6b6208290d6af9cf65814694878e8af6b00c33d562c078a087172b86aa.mp4 npub1f2fulumd6737wyt3whjjrjz9dwecgteu9ghq9txm7lzkspr3muasfkqlqs cryptoshi2k21.bitcoin You won’t find many better owner stories in 🏴 English football than that of Hull City owner Acun Ilıcalı.

At the time, it was the largest vessel ever to travel that route. The ship was en route to Lake Michigan to be converted into a self-unloading ore carrier for service on the Great Lakes. Navigating such a massive vessel through downtown Chicago was a complex task. The Marine Angel had to maneuver around sharp bends and under low bridges, assisted by tugboats and experienced crews to ensure safe passage. The Saint Lawrence seaway wouldn’t be open until 1959 and this was the only way to get a ship of this size from the eastern seaboard into the Great Lakes. #archaeohistories https://blossom.primal.net/b62487044395cf5b72e8077486fa38c8dd1c6a6bf4aeaf14989e0104aff306f4.jpg
