I've been seeing these ups and downs in crypto since 2013 when I first went on CNBC to recommend $BTC. In 2017 I was among the seed investors in $FIL and $ZEC and this year I have started two DATs: $TAOX and $SBLX I have seen this before. I am a buyer at these levels in crypto

Crossroads – a point at which crucial decisions must be made that will have far-reaching consequences (Oxford Language Dictionary). And that is precisely where we are.

Brutal chart, but very informative 😳
RE: Burry shutting down his fund...recall in 1929-33, stocks fell v. a gold-backed USD (ie stocks fell v. gold) Since Powell "pivoted" in 4q18: SPX (blue) in USD is up 152% SPX priced in gold (red) is down 27% In fiscal dominance, long gold is a better way to be short stocks

We are only a few weeks into this U.S.-China deal and it’s looking more and more Empire Strikes Back.

Hmmmmm 🤔
It seems that „actual inflation“ is measured by prices of things one doesn’t buy. Are you entertained?

Thanks, Luke for bringing this to our attention. Fascinating read, head-exploding when you consider the pace and impact of it all. In your recommended 5 minutes of contemplation - make sure you have no sharp objects within reach 😱
It is not often I read something that blows my mind, but this did. 🤯 I would highly recommend taking the 5 minutes to read it, and then an additional 5 minutes to pause and reflect to consider all the ways our world is about to radically change. h/t @matthew_pines

I would love to see that math equation…🤔
“Every $1 invested in SNAP generates $1.80 in economic activity.” Wow… imagine how big the economy would be if we invested $10 TRILLION in SNAP! This man was almost Vice President.

This is only the beginning. 😲
This is mind-blowing. Amazon has released a video of their robot doing an insane wall flip, jumping around like Spiderman, and picking up large, heavy things. These are going to be EVERYWHERE in society.
