Thanks to Ken Griffin, Harvard’s endowment is now $51.4 billion instead of $51.1 billion. Way to go, Ken! You couldn’t think of anything more useful to do with three hundred million dollars?!?!
Help me out here, please. I can’t find an explanation for this: Why didn’t the DoD shoot down the balloon as it approached the Alaska coast? It was clearly within US territorial waters, wasn’t it, giving the US the same legal rights we have off the Carolina coast?
I’ve just been named one of “three top

and

experts whose advice you should read”! The other two? Benjamin Graham and Warren Buffett. What an honor!
Dear Gary Gensler: NOW! Approve a spot Bitcoin ETF. You’ve said yes to BTC Futures ETF and this week a short BTC ETF. So why not a long BTC ETF? 77% of advisors are waiting. Let them recommend bitcoin while it’s still near 20k. C’mon, Gary! NOW is the time to say yes!
So…the U.S. has shot down two more Chinese balloons- this time far sooner than waiting til they got to the Carolinas. I’ll take full credit for this, claiming that DoD and Biden read my prior tweet, thank you!

Introducing our brand-new dog, Hoshi. He ate my Economist magazine’s latest issue, two shoes, and my eyeglass reading case and a duck. So yeah. Hoshi has been quite the little animal. And I love the fact that Jean is now referring to Hoshi as my dog.
The crypto winter is officially over - finally!, after a long two years. Not because bitcoin doubled this year, or because Gensler keeps losing crypto lawsuits or because the halving approaches. It’s over because SBF is guilty on all counts. Great day for investors and advisors.
My wife and I know financial habits form early, so we wrote The Squirrel Manifesto to teach kids the importance of saving a little, spending a little, and always giving back.

Re that video of Kelce’s aggressive approach to Coach Reid last night: seemed like assault and that he stopped only because of Reid’s authority and teammates swept in. But in a domestic situation, his girlfriend will not have those protections. I fear for Taylor Swift’s safety.
Court has approved Puerto Rico’s bankruptcy plan – and says the island won’t have to repay $30.5 billion it owes to bond holders. And you think buying bitcoin is risky???
Relieved to see FDIC take necessary action to protect the nation’s banking system and economy. The speed of the feds shows how serious this situation is/has been/will be. More work is needed but this is a hugely important step to reassure depositors and thus investors.
Hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman has just suggested something I proposed 3 years ago: retirement accounts for every baby born in America. He didn’t explain how to pay for it, but I do:

Savings Tip
#1
: Set positive savings goal for yourself. “I will save to buy a home” is positive, while “I will not spend money” is a negative goal. Focusing on the positive takes the pain away from spending less money.

Beware the newest form of bias and bigotry: Cryptists, guilty of Cryptism, They make inaccurate assertions and spin facts to support their extreme opposition to all things crypto. They’re vocal and, like all bigots, harmful. Be on your guard.
Let me see if I understand the situation. Volatility Shares is launching a 2x bitcoin futures ETF but the SEC has still not greenlighted a spot bitcoin ETF? I fail to understand how the SEC’s position protects and servesinvestors and consumers.
Here we go again. FDIC about to shut down another bank - First Republic this time - placing at risk billions of dollars deposited in good faith by legitimate businesses. As with SVB, FDIC has no choice but to guarantee all deposits to avoid a national banking panic.
Bitcoin ETFs will attract $150B within 2 years, I told

I’m a big fan of SBF. I hope people don’t regard his comment that
#bitcoin
has failed as a payments network to be a damnation of
#BTC
. He is right - but also this is nothing new. BTC is a store of value, not a payment network. We need to focus on that.
Tip
#3
: Never spend your coins. Collect your change every day to help yourself
#SaveAutomatically
. Before you know it, you’ll accrue some savings every month with no real effort.

The govt must intervene NOW with SVB. Failure = death of 000s of tech firms; near destruction of US innovation for 10+yrs; instant bank runs in US, then world; millions of jobs lost; global recession. Washington: Act TODAY B4 payrolls are due this week and prevent another ‘08.

True or False: The
