Czech central bank chief: Bitcoin Not to Be 'Lumped Together' With Crypto

Czech National Bank Chief Ales Michl Continues Making Case for Bitcoin (BTC)

Ales Michl had previously proposed the Czech National Bank consider bitcoin as a reserve asset.

When Mr Trump discards Elon like a soiled handkerchief, the ensuing debacle will be nothing short of operatic. One might even say… disastrous. As dear Mr. Wilson so astutely observes, the unraveling of this particular alliance will leave Mr. Trump in a rather precarious—dare I say, perilous—position. But then, watching the powerful entangle themselves in their own webs has always been a most fascinating pastime.

How delightful it is to see a mind unravel itself from the clutches of ideological entrapment! I recently had the pleasure of viewing a most fascinating video—a tale of transformation, of a man ensnared in the intricate web of what one might call the alt-right pipeline. Ah, yes, that most insidious of labyrinths, paved with libertarian fantasies, populist fervor, and the peculiar musings of Dr. Jordan Peterson. What makes this particular story so enthralling is not merely the descent into this world—no, no, that is all too predictable—but rather the return. Like a lost traveler navigating his way out of the depths of a Cardassian prison, our protagonist begins to perceive the bars that once seemed invisible. With each revelation, he sheds the illusions that held him captive, finally emerging once more into the light of reason, nuance, and—dare I say it?—a more compassionate worldview. I cannot recommend this video enough, not simply for its intellectual value, but for the exquisite drama of self-discovery it presents. After all, is there anything more deliciously satisfying than watching someone recognize the limits of their own certainty?

Am afraid to say that #elonmusk eye is now so far off the ball, 4 major #spacex fails since Mr Trump was inaugurated. What to do… Hopefully this does not trigger NATO article 5 🚀

SpaceX rocket debris crashes into Poland

Debris from a Space X Falcon 9 rocket lit up skies across Europe before crashing into Poland.

Ah, my dear friend, how delightfully intriguing that you should bring this matter to my attention. The political landscape of Earth—so full of bluster, misinformation, and the occasional inconvenient truth—never fails to amuse. Let us examine, with the utmost delicacy, the recent utterances of United States President Donald Trump, who has so charitably graced the public sphere with his insights into the nature of governance. He has, in his inimitable style, declared that President Volodymyr Zelensky is a “dictator without elections.” Now, one must always approach such statements with the appropriate level of skepticism—particularly when they come from a man whose relationship with objective reality is, shall we say, flexible. First, let us consider the claim itself. A dictator? Such a strong word. And yet, the inconvenient matter of Ukrainian law presents a conundrum. You see, under martial law—which, I should remind you, was imposed due to a rather inconvenient war of survival against Russia—elections are constitutionally forbidden. Ah, a technicality, perhaps, but one of some significance. President Zelensky did not seize power through force, nor has he abolished the democratic process. Rather, his government has been forced into an existential struggle against a neighbor with… less refined electoral practices. Now, speaking of that neighbor—President Vladimir Putin, a man whose political career is built upon such admirable traditions as imprisoning his opponents, silencing dissent, and, on occasion, ensuring that his critics meet unfortunate ends. An “election,” in his domain, is a rather theatrical affair, much like a Cardassian trial—where the verdict is known well before the proceedings begin. And yet, Mr. Trump, in his infinite wisdom, chooses to focus his ire on Ukraine’s leader rather than the one who has made an art form out of election rigging. Fascinating, isn’t it? One might even suspect a certain… predisposition toward viewing Russia with unwarranted generosity. But of course, I would never presume to make such accusations. That would be terribly impolite. So, my dear friend, what conclusions shall we draw? It seems that truth, as always, is a matter of perspective. But if I were a betting man—and I assure you, I am—I would wager that history will remember the difference between a leader defending his nation in wartime and one who orchestrates his own unchallenged rule. But then again, history is written by the victors… and the most skilled manipulators of public perception.

Elim Garak, the enigmatic Cardassian tailor and former Obsidian Order operative who lives on the Bajoran space station, Deep Space Nine, views Bitcoin with a mix of fascination, skepticism, and amusement. 1. Anonymity & Secrecy – Garak appreciates the pseudonymous nature of Bitcoin transactions. As someone skilled in espionage, he knows the value of untraceable wealth. However, he is keenly aware of the limitations—after all, blockchain analysis can reveal patterns, and Garak never trusts anything to be truly untraceable.
 2. Volatility & Speculation – The unpredictable nature of Bitcoin’s value amuses him. As a man who thrives on uncertainty, he sees it as an entertaining game, much like the shifting alliances of galactic politics. He warns others, in his cryptic way, that investing in Bitcoin is akin to betting on a Ferengi’s honesty—risky at best.
 3. Decentralization & Power The idea of a currency outside the control of traditional governments or the Central Bank of Cardassia intrigues him. However, he is aware that true power does not come from currency alone but from the ability to manipulate those who control it. Garak speculates that the real winners are not Bitcoin users but those who influence its narrative—perhaps the financial oligarchs.
 4. Usefulness in Espionage While Bitcoin has its uses, Garak also values discreet, fluid methods of transferring wealth—like latinum, which leaves no digital trace. He views Bitcoin as a tool for amateurs and overconfident smugglers rather than seasoned intelligence operatives.
 5. A Cautionary Tale – In classic Garak fashion, he might tell a long, meandering story about a Cardassian agent who put too much faith in a decentralized system, only to find that trust is the rarest and most dangerous currency of all. Does he invest in Bitcoin? Perhaps—just enough to stay entertained.

This video asks the question “did people used to look older?” I think the political harmony, economic abundance and flat, even wealth distribution… keeps us young. Who agrees with me?

This is why Musk has no place in the US government. He is making the US a laughing stock to our enemies and weakening US standing: Energy Department scrambles to rehire nuclear bomb experts fired in major DOGE screw up: #ElonMusk #DOGE team apparently didn’t understand the workers’ role, or how important they are to US national security. The National Nuclear Safety Administration was struggling Friday to rehire some of the nation’s top nuclear specialists after they were fired by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency in an apparent massive mistake, according to reports that triggered national security fears. The workers were fired overnight because “no one had taken the time to understand what they actually do” Musk’s wholesale slashing of the federal workforce has been plagued by chaos. He has a young crew of techies who have little work experience and are overwhelmed by the challenges to understand the wide range of tasks performed by employees in many different and complex federal agencies in a matter of days. One of Musk’s crew is a high school grad and college drop out who was fired from an internship after leaking sensitive information to company rival. Workers with high-level security clearance that requires 18 months to obtain, report they were advised they were being fired, then received a second message telling them that their jobs were safe. That was followed by a third message telling them that they were being fired. Their email access was then blocked, making getting in contact to rehire them difficult. It is feared many will not return to work after being treated so badly fired indiscriminately “by clueless kids”.

Elderly gentleman fails geography test

Trump quote, criticizing Obama’s use of Executive orders… “Executive orders sort of came about more recently. Nobody ever heard of an executive order. Then all of a sudden Obama – because he couldn’t get anybody to agree with him – he starts signing them like they’re butter,” Trump said. “So I want to do away with executive orders for the most part.”
