“Let me be clear: a no-strings-attached debt limit increase cannot pass," - U.S. Speaker Kevin McCarthy
#Bitcoin price drops as Americans grow cautious about future inflation. #ConsumerSentiment shows short-term inflation expectations ⬆️ to 4.6% in April, up from 3.6% in March. Despite #CPI indicating lower inflation, public pessimism about the economy rises. We might face a recession (low growth, mid-high inflation, 4-5% interest rates) longer than anticipated.😟
Subscriptions lead to relentless spending, as they eliminate the need to consider whether each expense is truly necessary. This causes you to lose track of your spending, ultimately resulting in overspending. Using #Bitcoin  for spending promotes an à la carte mindset. Each transaction encourages you to evaluate if the purchase is a wise choice. As the currency appreciates in value, you'll more carefully consider whether a subscription is worth maintaining, instead of mindlessly allowing regular credit card charges. 💸🤔 image

In 2021, private equity firms actively used leveraged buyouts (LBOs) to invest in large F&B corporations. Now, due to rising interest rates, these acquired companies face financial challenges. Most loans have floating interest rates, which fluctuate based on the rates set by the Federal Reserve. As the Fed raises rates to combat inflation, private equity firms worry about the declining value of their investments and pressure management to increase product prices. This, in turn, makes food and groceries more expensive, worsening inflation instead of easing it. The Fed's monetary decisions often lead to unintended consequences. Is it wise to let a single agency continue making such impactful decisions?🤷‍♂️ https://t.co/uzoRhLbikq

Just 68 days left to determine the outcome of Balaji's bet! Will #Bitcoin  surpass $1 million?
Gold price almost hit its all-time high of $2069.40 in Aug 2020, just months into the pandemic. Now, with the collapse of SVB and US-China chip tensions, it's surging again as a safe haven asset (scaled over the key $2000 level earlier this week). #Bitcoin is also rising, up 25% in the past month, solidifying its status as 'digital gold'🥇
An Ethereum validator stole $25 million worth of WETH, WBTC, and stablecoins using a 'sandwich attack'. It's concerning to see MEV bots manipulate #ETH prices, taking advantage of innocent traders. #Bitcoin's decentralized and transparent nature ensures fair market conditions for all participants. Bitcoin remains the king of fairness👑
Entrance stairway to local supermarket packed with unhealthy snacks & ultra-processed junk foods. It's a shame to see these 'fiat foods' so prominently displayed, offering quick happiness but slowly destroying our health & future. Choose what you eat wisely, #bitcoin  mindset. image
You can’t control interest rates but you can promote #Bitcoin adoption. Bringing in new participants does much more to increase network value than stacking sats for yourself. - Timothy Peterson image
