The real denominator is Bitcoin. It's officially Uptober. May all your mistresses have beautiful bosoms, drink too much beer, and own too much Bitcoin.
That 'Chinese' gold has doubled, as has silver, in less than 3 years. It's in my control, nor an IRA, 401, or any of the banksters fake and gay 'investments'.
I think the President loves bitcoin - or something. There's a lot of the typical Trump word salad to wade through. This started out as question about his controversial pardon:
NORAH O’DONNELL: OK. Allowing U.S. terrorist groups to, you know, essentially move millions of dollars around. He pled guilty to anti-money laundering laws. That was in 2023. Then in 2025 his crypto exchange, Binance, helped facilitate a $2 billion purchase of World Liberty Financial’s stablecoin. And then you pardoned C.Z. How do you address the appearance of pay for play?
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Well, here’s the thing, I know nothing about it because I’m too busy doing the other –
NORAH O’DONNELL: But he got a pardon-
TRUMP: I can only tell you that-
O’DONNELL: He got a pardon-
TRUMP: Norah, I can only tell you this. My sons are into it. I’m glad they are, because it’s probably a great industry, crypto. I think it’s good. You know, they’re running a business, they’re not in government. And they’re good — my one son is a No. 1 bestseller now.
My wife just had a No. 1 bestseller. I’m proud of them for doing that. I’m focused on this. I know nothing about the guy, other than I hear he was a victim of weaponization by government. When you say the government, you’re talking about the Biden government.
It’s a corrupt government. Biden was the most corrupt president and he was the worst president we’ve ever had. I only care about one thing. Will crypto be — will we be number one in crypto? Crypto has turned out, and in that sense I’ve been right.
Crypto’s turned out to be a massive industry, if you wanna call it that. And I’m very proud to say that we are far and away ahead of China and everybody else. Now, China is getting into it very big, right now. If you wanna go after people, you’re gonna kill that industry.
And it’ll be very bad. Tremendous number of jobs. I campaigned positively on crypto, very openly. I campaigned. Biden campaigned against it. When Biden found out that I was getting, like, 100% of the crypto vote, which was a lot, he switched totally and he went in favor of crypto.
They were totally in favor. They had many people under indictment. They let ’em all go. They let ’em all go. You know that. Many people were under indictment. Biden was a corrupt president. Biden went all in on crypto at the very end because he thought he could get some votes.
It didn’t work. They voted for me. I wanna make crypto great for America. That’s the only thing. I don’t wanna have somebody else have crypto and have China be number one in the world in crypto. Because in crypto it’s a kind of an industry where basically you’re going to have number one and you’re not gonna have a number two. And right now we’re number one by a long shot. I wanna keep it that way. The same way we’re number one with AI, we’re number one with crypto. And I wanna keep it that way.
O’DONNELL: So not concerned about the appearance of corruption with this?
TRUMP: I can’t say, because — I can’t say — I’m not concerned. I don’t — I’d rather not have you ask the question. But I let you ask it. You just came to me and you said, “Can I ask another question?” And I said, yeah. This is the question.
O’DONNELL: And you answered-
TRUMP: I don’t mind. Did I let you do it? I coulda walked away. I didn’t have to answer this question. I’m proud to answer the question. You know why? We’ve taken crypto-
O’DONNELL: But just generally speak-
TRUMP: Excuse me. We’re No. 1 in crypto in the whole world. Other people wanna be. They’re fighting like hell to be. But we’re No. 1 in crypto because I’m the president. Biden wanted to also, at the very end, you know, he totally switched his thing.
The Trump family owns 60 percent of World Liberty Financial. Nothing to see there, right?

Wasn't the guy who he pardoned convicted of funneling money for Hammas or to Hammas?
@snarlcakes mamdani says he’s going to tax bitcoin transactions to raise revenue. Let’s just assume he has that authority. This is what I’ve never understood about crypto. Once the gov(s) regulate it how is it different than anything else and why is it appealing

It doesn't matter, they still don't control it, and can't create any more of it. Bitcoin is coming after the bond market, gold, equities, and housing. If you breakdown the mark cap of those in comparison to the dollar, currencies are minimal. I don't want to transact in Bitcoin currently because it's to valuable as a store of value. Think about your own retirement strategy. You don't save in dollars because you know it's a terrible store of value.
The part people miss overall is Bitcoin is competing against the fiat system that has to continue to expand or it will implode. And the reason people can't afford houses, healthcare, education, and etc. is because of that fact. And who benefits from it? Regular joes who get paid in dollars that are constantly depreciating or governments that get to create more money out of thin air?
@mcm666 I'll also add it's predictable a socialist like Mamdami will do stuff like that. FDR (a socialist) did the same with gold. Did it make gold less valuable? Of course not. Gold was 20 dollars an ounce in 1930 and is 4k today. It's up 200x. Priced in gold the median house was 240 oz in 1930, today it's 105 oz. Where the f#ck did all that productivity go?
I know I am a broken record, but this the underlying issue to an overwhelming majority of our problems. The cost of living issues. Birth rate decline. Open Borders and on and on.
