Most thought Trump's tariff strategy died after the Supreme Court ruling. It didn't. He immediately pivoted to Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974—a rarely used provision allowing 15% tariffs for... just 150 days. And after that? Section 232, 301? Is it possible rhe US government is creating a acrisis window? For example: 1. Impose tariffs now 2. Trigger retaliation 3. Frame it as a national threat 4. Request broader powers? Looks to me as law vs leverage, time will say... #TradeWar #Economics #Markets

Few quotes by Elon Musk that will make you go huh? Specially #4... 1. “We are in the singularity.” 2. “I think we’ll hit AGI in 2026.” 3. “You’re at the top of the rollercoaster about to go down.” 4. “Don’t worry about squirreling money away for retirement. It won’t matter.” 5. “I don’t just have courtside seats— I’m on the court. It still blows my mind multiple times a week.”

The Bithumb case is getting interesting... At the moment of the 620 thousand Bitcoin being sent to their clients by mistake, Bithumb had only 175 Bitcoins in their books... 👀 So, Bithumb internal system treated non-existent Bitcoin as real! 🤔 This is not going to end well for the exchange, a fat fine should come soon after and regulation for reserves integrity is key... Wonder how many CEXs have reserve integrity and proper audits... #Bithumb

👀 On Wednesday, Google agreed to pay US$135 million to settle a lawsuit alleging it illegally collected mobile data from users. The case also forces its parent company, Alphabet Inc., to modify Google Play and the configurations of future Android devices. Notice the "future Android devices" They always get away with it, so they pay a fine and your current Google Play which is calling home and sending your personal data back to Google and being sold is fine... But no worries, the "future" will be fine... Unreal But the majority doesn't care anyway... #Google #privacy
