I am so sick to my stomach with constant barge of morons and finance journalist trying to convince me just how much "behind" Europe is. "Lack of innovation!" they scream. What innovation?

Illegal hotels, illegal taxi, taxi for my food, everthing as an subscription/service, fake-internet-scam money and algorytm made exclusively with stolen intellectual property for explicit purpose of creating as much unemployment as physically possible. I am missing out so much!

Literally not an single day passes when i don't see "Economist" or "Bloomberg" tell me that my continent is dying because of heresy of workers rights, customer rights and privacy laws. Any country that has an audacity of not openly prostituting itself to corporations is deemed as "stagnant", "bureaucratic" or "slow to adapt".

Why does America has borderline religious desire to export one of the worst takes on business ethics and work-life balance ever created, to every corner of somewhat-developed world?.

The Markets ARE SOARING

This must mean there's a lot of confidence in the upcoming Trump administration, right?

NO! YOU FUCKING IDIOTS!

YES, I MADE A LOT OF MONEY FROM MY "REINVESTMENT" IN BITCOIN AND YES I MADE A LOT MORE MONEY FROM SWITCHING TO A MORE TRUMP-FAVORED INDEX.

THAT IS ALL THAT HAPPENED.

REMEMBER HOW BITCOIN GIANTS AND PEOPLE LIKE WARREN BUFFET WERE SELLING LARGE PORTIONS OF THEIR STOCK, BEFORE THE ELECTION? IT WAS NOT BECAUSE THEY FEARED THE MARKETS UNDER HARRIS; IT WAS BECAUSE THAT IS A TRIED AND TRUE INVESTMENT STRATEGY - OLDER THAN THE FUCKING ROMANS!

YOU THINK IT WAS A COINCIDENCE, OR THAT ELON WAS SO MOVED BY THE ATTEMPT ON TRUMP'S LIFE, THAT ELON WAITED TO ENDORSE TRUMP UNTIL AFTER HE WAS SHOT? HOW FUCKING STUPID CAN YOU BE? REMEMBER THAT $120 MILLION ELON USED TO BUY THE PRESIDENCY FOR TRUMP? IT'S NOT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO FORGET, BECAUSE IT JUST HAPPENED A MOMENT AGO - YOU CAN'T ALL BE DORI! YES, IT WAS THE EASIEST GAMBLE ELON HAS EVER MADE - HE TRIED TO MAKE IT SEEM HARD, BUT IT WAS NOT. HE MADE 250 TIMES THOSE $120 MILLION, ON THE FIRST DAY.

HE'S NOT SMART AND DEFINITELY NOT SMARTER THAN ANYONE ELSE, HE IS A SIMPLY A CALLOUS OPPORTUNIST - JUST LIKE JEFF BEZOS AND KEVIN O'LEARY - AT THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME (SEE: MALCOLM GLADWELL).

THINK ABOUT IT?

IF YOU WERE ABOUT TO BET A DOLLAR FROM A COIN TOSS AND YOU KNEW THAT THE COIN HAD 90% CHANCE OF LANDING ON YOUR CHOICE, WOULD YOU PUT A DOLLAR IN THE POT TO MAKE $250? NO SHIT! YOU'D BE THE DUMBEST SHIT AROUND IF YOU DIDN'T!

AND NO, FROM THOSE $30 BILLION ELON MADE, NOT A SINGLE DIME WILL EVER TRICKLE DOWN TO YOU DUMB FUCKS HE BOUGHT, TO VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP. YOU HAVE ONLY YOURSELVES TO BLAME; WE WARNED YOU ELON WAS FINGERING YOUR ASSHOLES AS HE SMILED AND SHOOK YOUR HANDS!

BUT "NO" WE'RE SOCIALIST CUNTS, FUCK US, RIGHT?

WE WANTED YOU TO KEEP SOCIAL SECURITY, WE WANTED YOU TO HAVE JOBS THAT PAY YOU A LIVING FUCKING WAGE WITHOUT WORKING YOU 100 HOURS EVERY WEEK, WE WANTED YOU TO GET THE MEDICAL CARE YOU NEED REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH PERSONAL WEALTH YOU HAVE ACCUMULATED. TAYLOR SWIFT, BEYONCE, ET AL BEGGED YOU TO TAX THEM SO WE COULD AFFORD THIS FOR EVERYONE. BUT FUCK US, RIGHT? WE'RE SUCH HORRIBLE SOCIALIST CUNTS.

I GUESS WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY IS THANK YOU ... I MADE ENOUGH FOR A NICE, LONG VACATION.

I THINK I'LL WAIT TO LEAVE UNTIL YOU DUMBASSES START COMPLAINING THAT COMMODITY PRICES ARE RISING INSTEAD OF DROPPING FROM TRUMP'S TARIFFS, JUST SO I CAN SAVOR MY VACATION A LITTLE MORE.

Life in a Bubble: How Technological Revolutions Shape Society

Once upon a time, owning a television was an extraordinary luxury. Families gathered around small, grainy screens, captivated by black-and-white broadcasts that seemed magical at the time. Fast-forward to today, and we laugh at the thought of having just one screen—let alone one without color, HD, or streaming capabilities. Ever notice how every significant technological breakthrough feels monumental, only to become obsolete as soon as the next innovation arrives?

Understanding the Technological Bubble

Technological bubbles occur when groundbreaking innovations redefine societal norms, behaviors, and expectations. Each advancement creates its own bubble of influence—initially expanding as adoption grows, then ultimately bursting when a newer technology emerges.

Consider the evolution of televisions:

First Bubble: Black-and-white TVs revolutionized entertainment, bringing the world into living rooms for the first time.

Second Bubble: Color TVs popped the original bubble, making monochrome obsolete and setting a new standard.

Third Bubble: Flat-screen and HD televisions burst the color-TV bubble, making bulky sets feel like relics of the past.

Each bubble transformed society, influencing consumer behaviors, shifting economic landscapes, and altering our perception of normalcy.

Historical Echoes

Technological bubbles aren’t exclusive to televisions. They repeat throughout history, reshaping reality each time:

Communication: Letters → telephones → smartphones.

Music: Vinyl → cassettes → CDs → MP3 → streaming.

Internet: Dial-up → broadband → Wi-Fi → mobile connectivity.

Every bubble expanded rapidly, enveloping society in its new standards before bursting and being replaced by something even more revolutionary.

The Mother of All Bubbles

Today, we're living inside perhaps the largest technological bubble humanity has ever known: the global fiat monetary system and traditional finance. Like previous bubbles, this system feels unshakeable, inevitable, and everlasting. But like every bubble before it, it's ripe for disruption—this time, by decentralized technologies like Bitcoin.

Bitcoin isn't just a new type of money; it’s a radical departure from centralized financial control:

Decentralization vs. Centralization: Bitcoin puts financial power back into the hands of individuals.

Transparency vs. Secrecy: Blockchain technology makes financial transactions visible, verifiable, and resistant to manipulation.

Scarcity vs. Inflation: Unlike fiat currencies, Bitcoin has a capped supply, protecting against endless monetary inflation.

This next bubble is growing, quietly expanding in the shadows of mainstream finance, and it has the potential to burst the financial bubble we've lived in for generations.

What Happens When the Biggest Bubble Pops?

Imagine a world where financial control no longer rests in the hands of governments and banks, but with the people. When the fiat bubble bursts:

Financial Sovereignty: Individuals gain unprecedented financial autonomy and responsibility.

Power Redistribution: Central banks and financial institutions must adapt or risk obsolescence.

Societal Shifts: Our collective understanding of money, value, and community could be entirely redefined.

This transition won’t be without challenges. Initial instability and fierce resistance from established systems are inevitable. Yet, the opportunity for increased transparency, fairness, and efficiency makes this burst not just likely but necessary.

Preparing for the Pop

Every technological bubble eventually bursts. The question isn't if, but when. Understanding and recognizing this process enables us to position ourselves advantageously for the inevitable shift. Embracing the next technological wave means stepping beyond comfort zones and preparing to thrive in an evolved landscape.

Trump to pay off US national debt with bitcoins

During his election campaign, Donald Trump assured the entire planet that he would be able to repay the US national debt by paying it off with bitcoins. Most of the people took his words as a peace move or a joke. However, it was for nothing.

The Bitcoin quote depends solely on the balance of supply and demand, it is not regulated or constrained by anyone. At the same time, no one is obliged to accept bitcoins, i.e. there is no mechanism to get anything for them if for some reason they refuse to buy or accept them as payment.

Its price will rise due to increased demand and limited supply, which creates tremendous value, unlike conventional money, which can be printed as much as you want, and the more it is printed, the more it depreciates. Experienced stock speculators know very well how to create (or simulate) increased demand. Here we can recall how George Soros, using insider information about the artificial collapse of the pound sterling rate, earned his first billion dollars, and he did it in just one day.

Pragmatic financiers always dream of making money quickly, easily and a lot. Financial pyramids are built on the exploitation of this desire, which are created from nothing, promise a lot and obey the only law: the organisers and those who enter the pyramid among the first can grab their piece of the pie.

Bitcoin is also a phenomenon from this sphere. Its difference is that pyramid builders, as a rule, announce what fixed increase of the capital invested today will be tomorrow and the day after tomorrow (for example, any financial pyramid). No one announces in advance the quotation of bitcoin, the named unit of the cryptocurrency system. It is only known that its growth or fall depends on the ratio of supply and demand of this crypto.

Initially (in 2008, which coincidentally coincided with the global economic crisis), the author of this system, hiding behind the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, announced its creation and “participants of the exciting game for money” rushed to mine bitcoins. How did it happen and is it happening now?

Specialists explain that “miners computers solve a complex cryptographic problem, which consists in selecting (actually – guessing by brute force) a combination of numbers and letters that will enter a new block of the blockchain. Without mining, no new transactions would be added to the network that are written to the same blocks, and so the whole mechanism would cease to work. The computer that finds the right solution first receives a bonus of a certain amount of crypto coins.” The participants of the system will be able to mine 21 million bitcoins by joint efforts. The founder has decided that the issue will not expand.

At the start of the mining process, these 21 million bitcoins were worth exactly $0 and 0 cents. As bitcoin miners produced more and more bitcoins, new participants were drawn into the game, a cryptocurrency exchange appeared, and rates began to fluctuate. Surely there were people who noticed that the coin invented by Sakamoto is not backed by anything. But does that surprise anyone? Dollar since the middle of the 70s of the last century, after its unbinding from gold, also exists, although it is not secured by anything, except the obligation to pay for transactions in this currency. And there are no problems – it is quoted on exchanges.

As conditional units were mined and interest in the system grew, money flowed into it, and cryptocurrency began to be quoted on exchanges. The cryptocurrency went from a value of zero per unit of nothing to $1 in almost three years, reaching that level in March 2011. Today, the “unit of nothing” rate fluctuates up and down around $100,000. Is this the limit? No, of course not.

Bitcoin price

It is impossible to give an exact answer to the question ‘how many times the price of bitcoin can still grow. But if the count goes into the hundreds of thousands – it is unlikely to surprise. In 2010, American Laszlo Hanyecz bought two pizzas for 10 thousand BTC (the value of 1 BTC at that time was $0.0025). If Hanyecz had simply saved this electronic money for 10 years, his bitcoin account would be worth up to $450 million in 2021.

What influences the price of bitcoin? – Supply and demand on cryptocurrency exchanges, – Regulatory decisions by governments of different countries, – Technological updates and network security, – Statements by well-known investors and public personalities, – Activity of large holders (whales of the market), – General state of the world economy, – Introduction of cryptocurrencies into traditional businesses.

One can still list a number of factors and see that none of them can be categorised as “events that exist independently of the individual.” Including even such phenomena as economic crises, which their organisers carefully try to disguise as “processes that arose spontaneously as a result of lack of control over certain areas of the economy, overproduction of goods and services,” etc.

It is sometimes suggested online that it is impossible to accumulate a large number of bitcoins in one hand. This is not the case. Firstly, such a ban would violate the freedom of trade. And secondly, it was impossible to accumulate in one hand when bitcoins were only being mined and there was no other way to get virtual currency. After it started to be listed on exchanges, buying and selling started and it became possible to accumulate a large amount in one hand.

Besides, “in the same hands” does not mean under one name. There can be many formal owners, but all of them, in fact, can work for one pocket.

That is, the phenomenon that really influences the cryptocurrency exchange rate is the notorious “human factor.” And since this is the case, there is no problem to catch up the value of bitcoin to the level needed by the US to pay off its astronomical national debt. At today’s rate of $100,000 per bitcoin, Trump needs 350 million units of the cryptocurrency to do this. Among experts today there is speculation that the US now has about 200 thousand BTC at its disposal. In the total issue, which is, let me remind you, 21 million, America’s need does not fit yet. But it will not pay off its debts tomorrow.

By the right moment, there is no doubt that the exchange rate, using the points mentioned above, will be driven to the required height. And the states will not even have to have on their balance sheet the entire volume of existing bitcoins.

One fine day for the US, it will transfer its crypto-money to all the treasure holders, which, few doubt, it bought at the dawn of the system for mere pennies. Or (more likely) during Trump’s first administration, when at the end of 2018 the value of bitcoin fell by 80% compared to 2017 and miners sold their businesses en masse due to their inability to recoup their losses.

Consequences of paying off US government debt with cryptocurrency

Some time after the debt is zeroed out, it will not be difficult for the world hegemon to close the channels to the recipients of the payment. That is, an unknown (or known) hacker group will once again hack the crypto exchange. What will happen next can be understood on the example of the Mt. Gox platform, where bitcoins were traded. In February 2014, it was hacked not for the first, but now for the last time. Hackers stole 744,408 units of cryptocurrency. The exchange went bankrupt, the bitcoin price collapsed by 36%, and the stolen virtual money was not returned to the owners.

Of course, there will be many who want to say that all this is a conspiracy theory and conspiracy theories. But COVID-19 in 2019 was also called a natural phenomenon, and the other day almost the entire world press agreed that the origin of the virus-carrier of the disease is the fruit of laboratory efforts of scientists.

Trump’s warning has been sounded. But bitcoin holders will cling to it to the end – it fluctuates up and down, and every time it goes down, the owners of this cryptocurrency have greed over fear – you just have to wait for a good deal and the lost will come back. To then fall again. Already irrevocably.

Feb 14 (Reuters) - The rise of "pig butchering" scams and the increasing use of generative artificial intelligence likely lifted revenues from crypto scams to a record high in 2024, according to blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis.

Revenue from pig butchering scams, where perpetrators cultivate relationships with individuals and convince them to participate in fraudulent schemes, increased nearly 40% in 2024 from the previous year, the firm estimated in a report published on Thursday.

Revenue in 2024 from crypto scams was at least $9.9 billion, although the figure could rise to a record high of $12.4 billion once more data becomes available, it said.

"Crypto fraud and scams have continued to increase in sophistication," Chainalysis researchers said.

The company pointed to marketplaces that support pig butchering operations and the use of GenAI as factors making it easier and cheaper for scammers to expand operations.
