congratulations 👏🎉 to #Trump and #America in advance

The total value of Ripple’s XRP holdings has skyrocketed by around $125 billion since Election Day. This impressive figure shows how much US crypto companies have benefited from Donald Trump’s re-election, and explains why they are so enthusiastic about supporting the incoming president-elect’s administration. According to Ripple’s latest financial reports, the company currently holds around 4.44 billion XRP in liquid assets and oversees nearly 39 billion XRP locked in escrow. XRP was developed by Ripple’s founders in 2012. Ahead of the 2024 presidential election, XRP was priced at just $0.50. Since then, its value has skyrocketed. This week, the token has come close to its all-time high of $3.40, hitting $3.38 today. In total, Ripple’s XRP holdings are now worth $146.48 billion, up from just around $21 billion in November. #nostr #crypto #trump

There will be only male and female in America’ - Trump Vows To ‘Stop Transgender Lunacy’ on the first day of his presidency US President-elect Donald Trump on Sunday, December 22 pledged to “stop the transgender lunacy” on day one of his presidency, as Republicans set to control both chambers of Congress and the White House — continue to advance their anti-LGBTQ policy. “There will only be male and female in America. I will sign executive orders to end child sexual mutilation, get transgender out of the military and out of our elementary schools and middle schools and high schools,” the president-elect said at the AmericaFest conference for young conservatives in Phoenix, Arizona. He also vowed to “keep men out of women’s sports,” adding that “it will be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female.” #America #Donald_Trump

Now, before we go further into the more sensational claims, let’s address the undeniably real concerns that underpin our narrative. We’ve seen, with the COVID-19 pandemic, the fragility of global supply chains and the immediate impact on food security and access to essential goods. Rising contention rightly points out that an avian flu outbreak affecting poultry and livestock could have a devastating impact on food prices and availability, causing significant economic disruption and social unrest. The fear of shortages – eggs, meat, dairy – is a tangible and valid concern. Such a scenario draws attention to the interdependence of our globalized economy and the vulnerabilities inherent in overly centralized supply chains. This isn’t a conspiracy; it’s a risk-assessment reality. #globe

😱 WOW. Bitcoin breaks $104,000! Historic! Overnight, it even surpassed $106,000. Some experts predict its rise to $150,000.

The Crumbling Economic Foundation The EU's economic woes are far from localised. Germany, the economic powerhouse of Europe, is experiencing significant challenges. The recent announcements of massive layoffs at major corporations like Bosch, ThyssenKrupp, and others, are not isolated incidents. These layoffs, representing tens of thousands of jobs, signal a deeper malaise in the German manufacturing sector – the very backbone of the EU's economic strength. These aren't just cuts in response to minor fluctuations; they're strategic decisions driven by sustained declines in profitability. Labour costs are often the first to be targeted in such situations, making layoffs and factory closures almost inevitable. Volkswagen’s earlier restructuring, which I discussed extensively in a previous session, further underscores this trend. The scale of these job losses – 7,000 at Bosch, 11,000 (40% of a division) at ThyssenKrupp – is simply staggering and highlights the severity of the situation. The job freeze and reduced working hours announced by Daimler paint a similarly grim picture. France, too, is far from immune. The concurrent announcements of plant closures by Michelin and strikes over threatened factory closures in northern France demonstrate that these problems are widespread throughout the EU, not confined to Germany. This isn't simply a "slowdown"; it's a systemic crisis of confidence impacting numerous key industrial sectors. The situation is exacerbated by the EU's significant dependence on external factors. As former ECB President Mario Draghi eloquently stated in his address to the EU Parliament, the EU's high trade-to-GDP ratio, coupled with its heavy reliance on a small number of suppliers for critical raw materials and its dependence on imported digital technology, makes it acutely vulnerable to global shocks. This over-reliance, coupled with soaring energy prices – two to three times higher than in the US or China – has placed immense pressure on EU businesses, crippling competitiveness and hindering economic growth. Draghi's assessment is particularly stark because he explicitly highlights the EU's lagging position in new technologies. Only four of the world's top 50 tech companies are European, underscoring a critical deficiency in innovation and technological leadership. This further diminishes the EU's ability to adapt to the rapidly evolving global economic landscape. The alarmingly low defense spending among EU member states, as Draghi points out, also points to a larger picture of systemic weakness.

The $100k Bitcoin threshold and institutional actors raises an interesting question about the reluctance of certain entities to see Bitcoin surpass the $100,000 mark. This is not merely a matter of price target; it carries geopolitical and financial implications. To start with, the potential for governmental intervention, exemplified by the movement of a substantial amount of Bitcoin by the US government, raises concerns about manipulation and the control of cryptocurrency markets. This action could be aimed at countering a potential “Trump Reserve Plan” or simply managing supply. #bitcoin #cryptocurrency
