Normally I respect what you say… but I don’t believe that global jews running banks is a helpful, accurate, or useful way to look at the world. Death cults drinking the blood of children the protocols of Zion… I’m familiar with all of it and it’s 99.9% bullshit + the source of anti-semitism which is unhelpful.
I am as skeptical as you about the US’s future, but I don’t think it’s a Jewish conspiracy that’s totally ridiculous.
I watched most of the video, and I think it’s interesting.
But the video doesn’t even begin convincing me that there was ‘foul play’ or that a foreign government was involved in Charlie’s shooting.
Way too many conspiracy theories on social media 99% of which are dumb they are best ignored without concrete evidence.
Simon Whistler. He seems like such a good person that I'm just waiting for him to turn out to be some kind of psycho.

I have a really really hard time believing in such a conspiracy theory, sorry.
Edit: reading the other comments here I really really don’t believe in the conspiracies touted here.
I personally believe he does what he thinks the law and government will allow him to do.
He can’t sell Bitcoin (for share price reasons) and he can’t advocate for spending it because of the suggestion that it would compete with the dollar.
He says over and over that Bitcoin ‘doesn’t compete with the dollar’ but I don’t think he totally believes that.
At the end of the day he thinks Bitcoin is hugely undervalued… so he thinks his financial strategy is just keep buying it not necessarily to spend it.
He has. He knows what lightning is and has talked about it in earlier interviews.
A few years ago a proposed MSTR (when it was mstr) service was to give companies and employees access to ‘lightning rewards’ when their employees were recruited or promoted.
The idea was dropped due to complexity and tax purposes however.
it failed because gold is physical, so all custody had to be centralized and IOUs issued in order to transact. This inevitably leads to corruption, and more notes issued than in reserve, leading to the complete de-linking of gold. This is what Bitcoin fixes
From the article - "And the truth is, insuring against quantum risk would be “cheap”, because developers are mostly engaged in pointless navel gazing. The main developer priority over the last decade has been the lightning-based scaling model, which has simply been a failure."
How can i take someone seriously who says this? Stacker News is "lightning-based" and i use it every day.
Apple or Google can deny access to the backup. That has the same effect for the user as if Apple decrypted their backup - user looses the bitcoins. If the deny happens at the same time as the user losing their phone.
Would be more robust to have the backup stored in a location that does not require asking for permission to access.
90% of what gets written about ‘crypto’ (do they mean Bitcoin?) in financial news publications is basically incoherent.
You hit the nail on the head… does the article mean ‘crypto’ or does it mean… bitcoin? Crypto could mean some little known memecoin that pumps… or it could mean multi-decade Bitcoin savings.
Which one? who knows. so many of these finance ‘articles’ put a big orange B on the front cover illustration but they don’t actually clarify what the ‘crypto’ is that they’re referring to.
‘Crypto‘ to financial publications also refers to ‘stablecoins’ which they mention constantly… but what does that have to do with ‘risky bets’ if it’s so risky why is the US embracing stablecoins???
