1/ Don't Push the Horses—what does it mean? When Ukrainians protested the government for removing the independence of anti-corruption boards, this phrase was heard over and over. To me, it shows that the USA and Ukraine are more alike than anyone else! Here's why 🧵⤵️

Life expectancy in Eastern European countries. Seriously, how can anyone with few brain cells left be in favor of socialism, and against free market and capitalism?

We have had so many warnings about Russia. Here's yet another of President Nixon's. Russian imperialism without communism—that is, total hopeless nihilism—could be even more dangerous than communism itself.

The core argument for Bitcoin boils down to two charts. The first chart is the broad world Money supply, which is now 120 Trillion for the top 7 currencies, and 150 Trillion overall. This metric is doubling every 10 years. 1/3

We in the #Baltics are totally prepared for the Russian imperial narratives coming our way, now that the monsters cannot win in Ukraine. This thread will be updated, and I encourage fellow liberals to add stats on how amazing free Balts, Poles, Ukrainians, Czechs, etc. are! 🧵

🧠 In Russia, even thinking freely is becoming a crime Yesterday, the Russian State Duma passed a law so vague and absurd that even Putin himself probably couldn't explain how it actually works. Starting in just over a month, Russian citizens will face: ▪️ Fines up to 50,000 rubles for intentionally searching for "prohibited" information; ▪️ A 500+ page blacklist of forbidden content, constantly expanding like a Kafkaesque hydra; ▪️ Risk of being labeled an extremist just for opening a link to a banned site; ▪️ Penalties for VPN use or even for advertising VPN services; ▪️ A ban on sharing your SIM card — because in Russia, your phone now belongs to the State, not you; ▪️ The threat of losing all your logins, passwords, online games and subscriptions — welcome to the Great Digital Expropriation. To be clear: “extremist materials” in this context often means truth — especially if it unmasks Russian lies. If you search for independent journalism, satellite photos of Russian atrocities, or even try to figure out what your government is hiding — you’re now a criminal. No other dictatorship has gone this far into criminalizing the act of seeking information itself. North Korea punishes curiosity, but Russia now fines you for typing the wrong word into Google. It's not censorship anymore — it’s preemptive punishment for intent. And all of it is wrapped in the usual Orwellian double-speak: they say it's to “protect society.” In truth, it’s to ensure that no one ever dares to think for themselves again.

#Bitcoin is nearly larger in value than any one nation's physical currency stock issued, ever. This chart is a monthly close. Bitcoin current market cap very close to June total of physical US notes and coin.

Will Bitcoin absorb TradFi?

“There’s nothing new under the sun.” The reflexive nature of financial markets AND the history of Wall Street financial engineering IS the power behind the boom-and-bust cycles we find ourselves both loving and hating. It’s just human psychology on full display. #Bitcoin
