Re: Trump "pauses tariffs"

Again, breking new for you, the fact that you think differently from people who actually have studied and worked for decades on a topic does most likely make you wrong, not the opposite. Buffet has never been in the "fearmongering" area, the CEO of Apple is not in the fearmongering, ....

oh you inept troll

firstly YOU have been trying to drag warren buffets name into project fear lame media games.. i had to correct you multiple times that buffet was laughing..
and then this time you tried to do it i told you that he doesnt really care and wants people to stop being emotional

YOU are the one trying to make people be worried
...

also you say the business market is your expertise and yet after weeks of asking you to research and then be able to discuss things like freeports/ftz.. and other things like MFN that affect tariffs

and you cant even do the basics of that.. so sorry but you have no clue
heck you had no clue of the "de-minimus" exception

so how about go learn the stuff,, you had ample opportunity

..
as to how things will work on going
everyone knows america are not going to shut the borders completely and have everything built domestically from raw material to retail product.. so stop that silly story
learn that businesses are going to do the final phase assembly plant model and instead of being singularly dependant on china as parts/material supplier. they will decentralise and use multiple sources of supplies to then assemble

..
and lastly to note:
by you getting exceptionally emotional in the last few months shows you LACK decades of experience of international trade and exploration. becasue tariffs are not new to this year, they have existe for decades. so the only reason you think its new this year is because you are relying on lame media. not real life experience

good luck with your failures but if you want to try to have a educated conversation on a topic atleast try to earn the subject and do some research. you have had hints, suggestions and tips on what to learn so that you can have a deeper depth of knowledge to speak about. but you have only shown ignorance on learning such

all you can do is quote others, but out of context. which shows your not even listening to what they are saying.. so just try better. learn more, and do it not for others, but for your own sake

gotta laugh at pooyas over abusive usage of the word genocide

when you create 2 small rebelious cults in the last 1-4 decades, to then fund them to cause mayhem doesnt create a "protected religious group"

those cults might think they are a "protected religious group" thus think systematic targetting of them is genocide
but they are not actually a "protected religious group" under the human rights

they are not a nation.. pooya wants to pretend houthi's represent yemen (it doesnt).. pooya wants to pretend hamas prepresents gaza (it doesnt)

attacks are not happening because they are sunni or shiite. the entire sunni/shiite population is not a target

the rebel cults are being attacked because they are "rebel terrorist groups" and categorised as such. they do not represent a whole population or nation nor religion

This is absolutely what I have been waiting to hear.
Governor Kelly Ayotte of NEW HAMPSHIRE have signed the Bitcoin Bill HB 302 into law, making NEW HAMPSHIRE  the first US STATE TO enact a STRATEGIC BITCOIN RESERVE. The law is to take effect after 60 days.
This is the best decision any leader could make and Governor Kelly Ayotte just got it right unlike Arizona and Florida States.

Congratulations to the good citizens of NEW HAMPSHIRE for entrusting their funds  in Bitcoin and am sure they won't regret it.

Well, the war you are talking about it is not between the United States and the State of Yemen, but rather a rebel militia within Yemen which is receiving funding from states like Iran, so they can continue their operations in western Yemen and disrupt the navigation of Ships heading towards Israel. The United States considers the Houtis to be terrorists and the USA do not negotiate with Terrorists, they simply get blown up by drone strikes for the sake of freedom and democracy, I guess.

to be more precise the houthi militia are being funded from states like iran, so they HAVE TO cause chaos just to get paid. its like dnt do a job dont get paid. so they wont stop chaos just because the US says so.. the houthis care more about external funding than human lives

the US do no consider normal yemeni people terrorists. just the houthi rebels
the houthi rebels dont consider innocent yemeni people as their sisters or cousins, they consider them their shields and cannon fodder

budgeting is not just about putting pen to paper working out income vs outgoing. as thats just accounting

budgeting is actually about understanding the costs of things, to find alternatives that cost less, in essence reduce the spend amounts

Re: Trump has cut his first official deal with the Ukraine. Thoughts anyone?
by
franky1
on 06/05/2025, 01:37:28 UTC

Anybody can see that this deal is the road to peace between Russia and Ukraine. The Trump administration has neither the will nor the capabilities to negotiate and enter into long term peace agreement with Russia.

Now, consider. Ukraine is the proxy for the US (West) to fight Russia. So, now that Trump has this deal all sewed up, and since the US doesn't have time or funds to do the Ukraine mining, all Trump needs to do is make a deal with Russia to do 'proxy' mining for the US on Ukraine lands.

Instant peace.

or not

Quote from: https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/05/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-secures-agreement-to-establish-united-states-ukraine-reconstruction-investment-fund/
No state, company, or person who financed or supplied the Russian war machine will be allowed to benefit from the reconstruction of Ukraine, including participation in projects supported by fund resources.
[/quote

also worth noting that trump doesnt need time to funds to do the mining, he will be playing golf as usual or writing other EO's for other things. instead he will be getting paid licence money to let blackrock and JPmorgan to fund and do the mining

In short by not being able to name a single ship in the past couple of months you just proved exactly what I said, the blockade that Yemen is enforcing on the terrorist regime of Israel that is found guilty of carrying out genocide in Gaza by International Criminal Court is working. No ship is passing the blocked sea route for them to seize or hit according to the international law and the genocide convention Yemen is enforcing.

i dont support isreal or gaza or yeman or america..
im british.
As a taxpayer in what you claim to be democracy and a member of NATO and also the key participant in illegal invasions of Iraq and Syria in coalitions named "Coalition of the Willing" and "Operation Inherent Resolve" that were designed to re-construct and re-brand al-Qaeda into ISIS in support of Israel, you cannot claim that you do not support the genocide and terrorist attacks in West Asian region whether by ISIS, Israel or al-Qaeda.

i do not support what you think i support.

i have said many times. that what should happen in relation to the middle east is that the area's of conflict
EG gaza vs isreal.. ukraine vs russia
the direct neighbouring countries should be asked if they want to pick sides to support their neighbours.. whereby places like US and UK that are thousands of miles away should stay out of it

also you do not know my tax status of how much i pay or not pay into the british system. again i said im a bitcoiner. so get a hint on that one. yes there are unavoidable tax payments like vat(sales tax) an local property(council tax) for living here.. but income tax and cap gains is not one of them. (if you know tax law, then you know)
..
for instance. in gaza the hamas rebel group, should be dealt with with the same level of force as they have caused.. but the innocent gaza-an's civilians should not be left as hostages in warzone area's to sleep in tents, but instead housed by neighbouring countries willing to take them in and house them. even offered jobs rebuilding gaza. where gaza is rebuilt and the gaza-an's compensated for the war-time displacement and offered housing back in gaza.

for instance. in russia and ukraine come to some peace deal based on mutual benefit of themselves and their neighbours. not the benefit of countries thousands of miles away. and then have eastern ukrainians offered to rebuild their country where the displaced get first offering of the new housing when/if the wish to return to the area they left
..
my views is that the US&UK getting involved in the 1990's gulf wars(and even as far back as the ottoman empire days) was none of the UK business. the UK had plenty of oil from UK oil rigs in northern british isles, the UK did not need to invade the middle east and take over middle eastern oil refineries and poppy fields
..

but here is the thing
when iran then funds idiots of radicalisation groups such as the houthi's and hamas. to stir trouble. peace becomes less attainable. old vengeance's cannot be forgiven and things escalate instead of de-escalate

so when houthis shoot civilian shipments in the red sea, of container ships belonging to distant countries. those distant countries become involved defending their property and so the tensions rise again

the houthi's are not peace loving people. they are a rebel group recently funded to escalate trouble at an international level.

..
get rid of hamas and houthi trouble makers and then get some peacetime deals done. rebuild, compensate and rehouse

Wow to the bolded = it is the presidential oath (the 2nd video is him taking it). But now we can all see clearly how double speak begins to work.
You seem to be itching to have an immigration conversation? The more relevant issue is "Due Process" ----> people don't disappear off of our streets without it.

to facilitate his return is to "make it easy" for him to return..

so trump can pay for the plane ticket. can ensure the border lets him in. but..(and here is the rub)
its not trumps job to invade el salvador. nor does trump have any power over el salvadors president. trump can ask el salvadors president, but cannot force el salvadors president to release him. trump has no power over el salvador. its not his jurisdiction so not in his ability

also it does not need trump himself to stand at the border with weapons threatening el salvador. nor for trump personally to chauffeur abrego from the border

if el salvador want to release abrego, then yes trump can delegate a plane to take him back if abrego has no funding to get himself back. but thats about it.
el salvador dont want to release him. so nothing is going to happen

as to the details of the district court. the defendants(abrego's family) only asked for trump to stop funding his imprisonment in el salvador and REQUEST to have him released. non of which is about invading el salvador and doing a prison break


but to the point of the constitution
its not trumps job to walk upto every cilivilians home and teach people like a door-to-door preacher, the details of the constitution
thats why his ability is to delegate certain needed tasks to experts better then him to be in place and doing their job honourably by getting them to swear an oath too
this is why judges have an oath also
this is why the fed should fund education to offer social/political history classes to teach consititional details
this is why the fed should fund public defenders for those whom cant afford their own lawyer
this is why the fed should fund DoJ to ensure courts are available for citizens to have an arena/forum to voice their disputes

its not for trump to be the judge of any and all cases involving constitutional disputes
its not trumps job to be the jury
its not trumps job to be the executioner
he employs his own experts for that

Re: Would it be good for bitcoin if the government is buying?
by
franky1
on 05/05/2025, 03:28:21 UTC

the government is not going to be buying btc on the public markets en-bulk. they will be doing private trades with other institutional investors.
notice how ETF sponsors dont use coinbases public exchange but they trade on a separate private coinbase "prime" separate market which doesnt affect the public market

the public market is where price discovery happens(sets the price), but the private 'prime' market just exchanges according to the public market price without affecting the public market
so dont expect big 1k-10k-100k buys in one day on the public market to shoot the price up.

secondly when the governments of countries or their individual states hoard coin. they can then collateralise it and then offer things like bonds to its citizens. this will then give normal people a way to invest in "bitcoin price exposure" without needing to hold bitcoin themselves(like etfs did). which is where normal people then dont actually need to buy from the proper bitcoin public markets. again not helping the bitcoin price growth
..
remember how the ETF didnt help with the bitcoin price. the bitcoin strategic reserves wont either.

..
all we can hope is that governments dont regulate citizen access to not be able to access public market exchanges of bitcoin to force people into only being able to invest in bitcoin etf/bonds of treasuries/institutions

the main positive of government investment of btc is the mindset that bitcoin is a legitimate asset. its like giving it a gold star rating⭐ a green tick legitimacy

i dont just read lame media and take it as gospel. i read beyond the lame media, and research deeper.
you however have shown many instances to just read lame media and quote it

my view of economics is as simple as the karate kid painting a fense
"uppp, dowwn, uppp downn"

economy is never stable there are always times of growth and decline

media however scream "inflation" then "recession"
well yes expect it

whats more important is not project fear of "OMG ITS GOING UP" "OMG ITS GOING DOWN" making people fear both
but to instead look at the size of the up and down, the speed of the up and down and more importantly what economic sectors are actually going up or down
and even more importantly whom exactly is or was affected by the change

EG
inflation is good for home sellers, but bad for home buyers
food cost inflation is bad for consumers but can be good for farmers/retailers

recession is good for home buyers but bad for home sellers
food cost recession is good for consumers but can be bad for retailers and farmers

so instead of just screaming you are afraid of inflation or recession becasue lame media made you afraid. actually learn to do some research into which sectors are going up or down and how it affects you personally

EG if your current situation is wanting to buy your first home. then recession is good for you
EG if you are a farmer wanting to sell your produce and then sell your farm, inflation is good for you

so instead of just squawking like a parrot whatever lame media says which does not attribute its opinion to individuals personal circumstance. actually articulate and research the details by doing research. learn how it will affect you personally. and then have a personal opinion based on how a financial period of inflation or recession would affect you

the video asked the question in the context of the agrego garcia drama and whether trump would abide and follow the constitution

regarding the constitution and the oath

people of any nation or even citizens of america are not suppose to know every word of the constitution by heart.
they are also not responsible to uphold the constitution

to uphold is different than to "preserve, protect and defend"

and as to the best of his ability. well thats why he employs lawyers as do other citizens when constitutional issues arise.
..
people break constitutional rights all the time, but its upto the courts to decide not only if the issue is within the constitution but also if there was a breach and if the courts even have powers to decide on the cases of such

and thats a matter for the lawyers to fight over

by trump not being a lawyer its not in his ability to do certain things, thats why he employs lawyers, advisers, etc
as he is not suppose to be an expert of everything just to become a president. he can only do whats within his ability

his ability is more so to ensure funding the DOJ(court system) so that there are courts available for citizens and lawyers to utilise and ensure the court system can mediate and judge on constitutional matters that the judicial branch have power of

as for immigration. thats for the political/executive branch to have powers of making ruling over not the judicial

due process:
abrego garcia went through the due process many years ago. but the deportation(plane ride) was delayed because of fears that he would be attacked by a (now defunct) rival gang

now that gang is defunct. there is no risk and the deportation procedure was able to continue

imagine it like getting a suspended sentence. where the sentence(in this case deportation) that had been given is stalled unless/until situations change.
the due process is done, but the person can still be punished at a later date if certain things occur

Name a single ship that went through Bab al-Mandab to reach Israeli terrorists that you support over the past couple of months, and lets see if there were truly any target for Yemen to enforce international law on but they couldn't.
i dont support isreal or gaza or yeman or america..
im british. i support bitcoin and myself and thats all that counts

as for how many ships went through.. lets get into the more important details. between october 2024-march 2025 the houthis attacked 190 ships

as for your stupid calls about civilians of yemen and gaza

what is actually being attacked is the hamas rebels in gaza not the innocent gaza-ans...
what is actually being attacked is the houthi rebels in stolen territory of northern-yemen not the innocent yemeni people...
both of which are(were) funded and lead by iranian interests

of course collateral damage occurs and innocents get harmed, but this is because hamas and houthi are the trouble makers that put

i can tell you support the iranian regime. i just support people looking beyond the lame media and to actually research whats actually happening in the world.

Re: BTC Dominance Drops - Is Altcoin Season Near
by

I have been observing the market and I see that BTC dominance is breaking.

Despite the price of BTC is dropping, and I can see that altcoins like solana is holding quite well and just dropped a little.

Could this be the start of altcoin season? Maybe BTC dominance over the market will continue to drop.

What do you think?

in january bitcoins peak was $106.5k and today its $96k which is a 10% drop

however
sol->btc was 0.00252 and is now 0.00152, which is a 40% drop converting to bitcoin
sol->USD was $261 and is now $145, which is a 45% drop converting to USD

so on what measure are you saying that bitcoin dropped alot and solana only dropped a little

if you bought 1btc in january for $106.5k. and just held as btc and sold today its only a 10% loss
however if you converted it straight to sol(396) in january. and then sold that back to bitcoin today. (0.6btc $57k) 50%+ loss in $$

how has bitcoin lost its dominance when its shown that it was safer to hoard btc not sol

I don't know what caused the dumping of all metals like you said, but gold is not just a metal. It is a safe haven and the drop in gold is just profit taking in the market after peaking as well as the impact of Trump's tax delay. These types of deals would not be large enough to impact gold prices.

the main underlying cost of mineral mining is FUEL.. so if fuel prices are dropping to a new standard. then miners can mine more profitably and be pushed by markets to sell lower, which causes the markets to drop
