A bit about me and my crypto journey. Thank you to every last person who has ever got involved in any way. It has been a massive team effort to bring this "pirate" movement to mainstream acceptance. I am a lawyer and venture capitalist from New Zealand who has lived in 11

Never ever use a company called Mosh in Australia. Total thieves with zero customer support. Our society has got to the stage where whenever you give someone your credit card you have to go in and delete any account straight away.

The only people who lost money when Trump crashed the stock market and then pumped it back up again were people who sold at the wrong time.

Everything is so exponential. Here in Australia the environment is barely ever discussed and is not really an election issue. Both the 2 main parties have equal disregard for science or nature. Its a mess. By 2030 we will have a Blue Ocean event with no Arctic Sea Ice. This I.

What does Japan buy from America?.Mainly coal, soya beans, ether, crude oil, gas, some machinery and corn. Pretty much nothing they cannot get from elsewhere tomorrow. On the other hand practically everything the USA buys is essential. High tech stuff the USA has no idea how to.

I used to be a shipping insurance lawyer. If only 10% of a shipping company's fleet is undeployed they struggle to break even. These tariffs are going to kill them.

The only protests in the USA that will get noticed by the folk who make decisions are not paying rent or taxes, not buying unnecessary stuff and not going to work. Oh and selling all your US dollars and all your shares.

All of these stock markets worldwide are bubbles. Valued at around 3 times their real worth. The tariffs were the pin that pricked them. That means that even if the tariffs are removed, the air will still come out. It's unlikely that a pricked bubble can be unpricked.

About half of US dollars are held overseas. They are kept is reserve by countries to use for trade. It has always been seen as stable and reliable. There is about $12 trillion in circulation altogether. So is fairly easy to see the USD losing at least 10% of its value pretty.
