When the Bitcoin Fear Index hits 10, it’s not “danger.” It’s history tapping you on the shoulder. Every major run in the last decade started in extreme fear; not at the top, not in the hype, not when everyone felt safe. Buy when it’s bloody. Buy when everyone else is scared

Yes I have continued to buy MSTR on the way down. I also continue to acquire BITCOIN.

Bottom line: from my $227 entry, I’m expecting $MSTR to finish the year around $380–$400, with upside if all catalysts fire. Shutdown ending + rate cut + stimulus + Bitcoin strength = the perfect tailwind. High-conviction hold into year-end

With #Bitcoin trading around $105K, analysts give it a 35–52% chance of hitting $125K by year-end. If that happens, $MSTR which moves about 1.7× faster than BTC could climb into the $350–$420 range. If BTC runs to $150K, MSTR could stretch toward $480–$500.

I took a position in $MSTR at $227. The setup looks powerful: ✅ Government shutdown ending this week ✅ 67–80% odds of a Fed rate cut in December ✅ Jim Chanos covering his massive short All of it lines up for a major risk-on rally (High Risk / Reward)

If you could have dinner with anyone — past or present — who’s your pick?

When you understand this, you stop trying to change the mirror. You stop demanding that the world stop being the way it is. Instead, you begin to change what is being reflected, yourself. Then the reflection naturally changes. That is the beginning of real freedom - Alan Watts

Some people think that other people make them angry, but that is like blaming the mirror for the expression on your face. The world is your mirror. It reflects back what you are. If you become angry, hostile, or fearful toward it, you are only seeing your own face.

Even trusted democracies show the slippery slope: more surveillance, fewer manual fallbacks. All this is happening quietly with little public debate. Digital IDs promise efficiency. But the trade-off may be control and total visibility. Who controls them when they arrive?

Then comes scope creep — today: driver’s license. Tomorrow: taxes, healthcare, benefits, and even voting. Add AI analytics, and you get real-time tracking + behavioral profiling. You can’t reset a face or iris like a password. The line between verification and surveillance blurs

The “optional” phase never lasts. In India, millions lost welfare payments when their fingerprints didn’t match the system. In the UK, your digital ID will soon be required to work. Miss a verification, lose access. A tool of convenience can become a gatekeeper overnight

Digital IDs don’t just verify who you are — they centralize everything about you. 📱 Biometrics 💳 Finances 🚗 Travel & licenses 💊 Health records 🗳️ Voting rights One login, one database, one switch. That convenience makes the system a massive hacking target

🚨 Whether you want them or not — Digital IDs are coming. UK → mandatory by 2029. EU → rollout by 2026. US → digital driver’s licenses in 25 states. From China to Singapore to Nigeria — the world is moving fast. Governments say it’s “for your convenience.”🧵

If gold is soon classified as a “High-Quality Liquid Asset” (HQLA) under Basel III, China could lend against its gold reserves turning bullion into banking power. The endgame: a multipolar world where the yuan and gold, not the dollar, anchor global finance

The pitch is simple: Hold yuan → redeem for physical gold through Shanghai → no dependence on the U.S. dollar or Treasuries. It’s a slow-motion shift toward a gold-backed alternative reserve system — one the U.S. can’t control

The Shanghai Gold Exchange is now the world’s largest physical gold marketplace. Through it, China is building a BRICS-wide gold network: vaults, trading hubs, and infrastructure, offering countries a way to settle trade in gold instead of dollars

China’s central bank now holds record levels of gold. Officially over 2,300 tons, with some analysts estimating more than 5,000 tons secretly stockpiled. Every bar is a vote of no confidence in the U.S. financial system
