China Urges Banks To Curb Exposure To US Treasuries😹🤣😂 #GotBitcoin The Asian nation’s stockpile has almost halved since a peak in 2013, dropping to $683 billion in November, the lowest since 2008. Chinese regulators have advised banks to reduce their holdings of US Treasuries due to concerns about market volatility and concentration risks. This move reflects a broader trend of diminishing confidence in US assets among global investors. Overview Of China's Guidance On US Treasuries China has advised its banks to reduce their exposure to US Treasuries. This decision comes amid concerns about market volatility and aims to limit financial risk. Key Details Reasons For The Guidance Market Volatility: Chinese regulators are worried that excessive holdings of US Treasuries could make banks vulnerable to market swings. Diversification of Risk: The move is intended to diversify financial risk rather than signal a loss of confidence in the US. Impact On Holdings Current Holdings: China's holdings of US Treasuries have fallen to an 18-year low, nearly halving since their peak in 2013. Advice To Banks: Banks have been instructed to limit new purchases and gradually sell off existing large positions in US Treasuries. Market Reactions Following the announcement, US Treasury prices fell, and yields rose. The 10-year Treasury yield increased to approximately 4.25%. Broader Context Global Concerns: This guidance reflects a wider debate among global investors regarding the safety and attractiveness of US Treasuries and the US dollar. US-China Relations: Despite ongoing tensions, the overall relationship has shown signs of stability since last year's trade discussions. This guidance from China highlights a cautious approach to managing financial exposure in a changing global economic landscape.

If you owe $100,000 to the bank, it’s your problem. If you owe $1 Billion, it’s theirs. President Nixon’s Treasury Secretary John Connolly riffed on that old adage, quipping at the time: “The dollar may be our currency, but now it’s your problem.” Excerpt From: “Check Your Financial Privilege” By Alex Gladstein

OpenClaw Combined W/Machine-To-Machine Payments Is The Bitcoin Industry’s “Apple Moment” Bitcoin has struggled with usability not because users lack interest but because most systems require them to think like a developer. I think about my grandmother. She couldn’t never use Bitcoin today. Wallet management, transaction signing, permissions and governance participation all demand precision and a level of developer understanding. OpenClaw: The World’s First Viral AI Assistant Has Arrived, And Things Are Getting Weird We thought AI agents were meant to assist human work. What happens when they start talking to each other? A lone semiretired Austrian coder built it and unleashed it on the world. People have created their own AI assistant bots through his project, which he renamed OpenClaw, to make phone calls to restaurants for dinner reservations, operate their email accounts and take on an array of assistant and work tasks, from coding projects to data analysis. Then, the bots started talking to one another. Role Of OpenClaw In M2M Payments If continuous M2M payments are the new electricity, then blockchains must be seen as the new power grid. We are moving toward an economic system in which software and devices transact with one another without human involvement. Instead of simply executing transactions, machines will be able to make decisions, coordinate with each other and purchase whatever they need in real time. Integration With AI Agents OpenClaw serves as an open-source AI agent framework that can facilitate M2M payments by: Automating Transactions: OpenClaw can execute payment commands autonomously, allowing devices to handle transactions based on predefined criteria. Connecting To Payment Systems: It can integrate with various payment platforms, enabling seamless transactions between devices.

A Silicon Valley Startup Becomes A Bitcoin Lifeline For Venezuela's Citizens Venezuela’s Bitcoin Holdings Could Be As High As $60 Billion! Fintech Kontigo, which recently raised $20 million from Coinbase and others, is helping Venezuela's citizens avoid the economic impact of U.S. sanctions. Venezuelan Explains How Bitcoin Saves His Family As the situation in Venezuela intensifies, a local bitcoin user details how he and his family use the cryptocurrency to survive the country’s ongoing crisis. Keeping all of his money in bitcoin, he only exchanges small amounts into the hyper-inflating bolivar when necessary. Venezuela is believed to have accumulated a significant amount of Bitcoin, potentially worth billions of dollars. Role of Bitcoin In Supporting Citizens Of Sanctioned Countries Bitcoin can provide a means for citizens in sanctioned countries to bypass financial restrictions and access funds, as it operates outside traditional banking systems. This allows individuals to receive remittances and conduct transactions without government oversight, offering a form of financial freedom in restrictive environments. Financial Freedom and Evasion of Restrictions Bitcoin serves as a crucial financial tool for citizens in countries facing heavy sanctions. It allows individuals to bypass traditional banking systems, which are often restricted due to international sanctions. This decentralized nature enables users to conduct transactions without the oversight of commercial banks, making it harder for authorities to track and control financial activities.

Bitcoin Obliterates Financial Privilege!🤣✅👍🏿🤩 Alex Gladstein (Author) has a lot to say about Bitcoin, human rights, financial privilege, and personal freedom. In Check Your Financial Privilege, he says it, starting with the fact that anyone born into a reserve currency like the dollar, euro, yen, or pound has financial privilege over the 89 percent of the world population born into weaker systems. In Nigeria, human rights activists depend on Bitcoin for donations after crackdowns by authoritarian regimes. In Cuba, after a dual-currency system devalued the peso, those who saved in Bitcoin managed to stay afloat. In El Salvador, where remittance fees and exchange rates can eat away a simple money transfer to family members in need, Bitcoin offers hope with lower fees and faster transactions (and now it's legal tender). As CSO of the Human Rights Foundation, Gladstein is uniquely positioned to detail the rise of Bitcoin from cypherpunk dream to the real-life Bitcoin stories happening to real people across the globe. For people around the world, outside of Wall Street, Bitcoin offers a means of freedom from inflation, political strife, and an outdated monetary system. For these people, the majority of the world’s population, it might even save their lives.

AI Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) Is The New Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Companies are spending big money to manipulate ChatGPT results!! When you ask ChatGPT and other AIs to recommend a product or service, odds are the top answers were put there by humans. Evan Bailyn is chief executive of a company which started out as an SEO firm. Today, when you ask any chatbot about the leading authorities on GEO, he or his company appears high up in the results. This doesn’t mean artificial intelligence is lying to you. That first answer is probably a worthwhile option. But a growing number of small and midsize businesses are paying big bucks to get favorable mentions from chatbots.

The Forever Strong PLAYBOOK🏋🏿‍♀️ In this solo episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon shares the deeper mission behind The Forever Strong PLAYBOOK and the philosophy that has guided her work for decades. This conversation is not about trends, quick fixes, or aesthetics. It is about building strength as a lifelong responsibility and understanding why skeletal muscle is the foundation of health, resilience, and independence across the lifespan. Dr. Lyon introduces the Forever Strong ethos and walks through the four foundational pillars that support a strong life: how to think, how to eat, how to move, and how to recover. She explains why information alone does not change behavior and why clarity, discernment, and disciplined action are the true drivers of lasting health. Throughout the episode, Dr. Lyon challenges conventional narratives around aging, nutrition, exercise, and recovery. She reframes longevity through the lens of muscle span, the length of time a person lives with healthy, functional skeletal muscle, and explains how physical strength supports metabolic health, emotional regulation, and cognitive resilience. This episode is an invitation to step out of confusion and into a clear framework for living with intention. Strength is not something we inherit. It is something we build, choice by choice, day by day.

Has The U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (Or Fort Knox Gold) Been Audited? No, the audit of the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is currently overdue by over 172 days, and there have been no announcements regarding its completion. This raises concerns about the security, management and transparency of the reserve!!!! Status of the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Audit Audit Overview An audit of the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve was ordered by President Trump in March 2025. The audit was intended to review the crypto holdings of various federal agencies. Current Audit Status As of now, the audit is overdue by 172 days. The original deadline for the audit was April 5, 2025, but no public announcements or reports have been released since then. Implications Of The Delay The lack of an audit raises concerns about the transparency and management of the Bitcoin reserve. There are indications that the U.S. government may not be purchasing additional Bitcoin for the reserve, relying instead on seized assets. Conclusion The U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve has not been audited as planned, leading to questions about its oversight and the security of its holdings. image

Now You Know!🏋🏿‍♀️🤩😎 National Muscle Health Month, celebrated each November, spotlights one of the most overlooked pillars of wellness: muscle. Spearheaded by Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, a board-certified physician and founder of the Muscle-Centric Medicine® movement, this month reframes muscle from an aesthetic pursuit to a medical necessity. Muscle is the largest organ system in the body, central to metabolism, immunity, mobility, and aging well — yet more than 80% of Americans fall short of basic muscle-strengthening guidelines and over 50% of older adults have clinically low levels of muscle mass. National Muscle Health Month serves as a unifying call to action, inspiring people of all ages to build, protect, and prioritize strength as a prescription for longevity.
