Peter Schiff keeps getting mocked for being right. Bitcoin isn’t digital gold and it was never designed as settlement infrastructure. Anyone who understands DLT mechanics knows this. When things break, assets with no issuer and no accountability make very convenient fall guys.

🇺🇸BO HINES: BITCOIN IS DIGITAL GOLD, WE WANT AS MUCH AS WE CAN GET Executive Director- President’s Council of Advisers for Digital Assets, Bo Hines: “Bitcoin is truly the gold standard. That’s why we say Bitcoin is digital gold. We make no bones about that, and I’ve said repeatedly, as the United States, we want as much of it as we can possibly get.

Remember when Peter Zeihan went on Joe Rogan and confidently told us that #Bitcoin was going to zero when it was at $16,000? Imagine being this wrong and never once apologizing for it? Peter, share some more of your infinite wisdom with us

Investing in precious metals is a religion Bitcoin proved this by being better money The precious metals investors don't plan to change their opinion, no matter how many facts are presented (Just like religion) Everything that Peter Schiff mentioned in this debate with Saifedean Ammous as a downside of Bitcoin, can be applied to gold Nobody sends and receives gold to settle transactions today, but Peter wants to convince you that Bitcoin isn't money ("My religion is better") Once you get out of the precious metals echo chamber, you can start analyzing the world with a fresh mind Peter criticizes Michael Saylor for buying $55B of Bitcoin and only being at break-even When Bitcoin is at $150K, MSTR's 700,000 BTC stack will have doubled When Bitcoin is $300K, $MSTR's Bitcoin will be worth 4x what they paid for it When it gets to $1M, MSTR's current holdings would be worth $700 BILLION That's a 13X Even after that happens, Peter will be saying Bitcoin is a scam Because like I said... Investing in precious metals is a religion

As the global financial system continues moving toward interoperable digital assets, real-time settlement, and tokenized financial instruments, and Ripple continues to successfully establish itself as one of the leading providers of liquidity and enterprise infrastructure within this ecosystem, it will become one of the most strategically important financial technology companies in the world. Liquidity sits at the center of importance because no market functions efficiently without buyers and sellers being able to exchange value quickly and at predictable cost. • Cross-border settlement • Foreign exchange liquidity • Treasury management • Stablecoin infrastructure • Digital asset custody • Compliance tooling • Interoperability between financial networks Ripple Federal Reserve

12,000,000,000,000 wiped from India’s stock market in a single day. $3T gone from the US. Gold -13%. Silver -25%. Real estate crashing 30-40%. INR at ₹94. Every asset is bleeding. War does this. It always has. Markets panic, currencies collapse, and “safe” assets? They fold first. The global financial system was never built for this kind of shock. Bitcoin didn’t move. No government controls it. No war can freeze it. No panic can print more of it. This is exactly what it was built for. #stockmarket #gold #bitcoin #iran #israel #usa #realestate #inr

Gold since April 2025: +60% Bitcoin since April 2025: -30% Gold since its January high: still near all-time highs. Bitcoin since its October high: -48%. 5 consecutive red months for Bitcoin. A 0.55 correlation with the S&P 500 as of March 1st. And people still call it "digital gold." Let me explain why that framing will cost you money: When the Middle East escalated, gold surged above $5,300. Bitcoin dropped. When equities sold off, gold held. Bitcoin sold with them. When uncertainty spiked, gold hit all-time highs. Bitcoin bled. This isn't an accident. It's the nature of WHAT these assets actually are. Gold is an asset that isn't somebody else's liability. It's not correlated with the general level of risk assets. It doesn't shift identities depending on what the market needs it to be that week. Bitcoin does. Sometimes it's digital gold. Sometimes it's correlated to NASDAQ. Sometimes it follows the dollar. Sometimes it follows liquidity. It depends on whatever narrative is convenient at the time. And narrative always follows price. That's the way it works. When Bitcoin was ripping to $126,000 in October, everyone called it a store of value. Now that it's trading at $66,000 with 5 red months, NOBODY talks about the digital gold thesis anymore. Gold doesn't have that problem. Central banks bought 863 tonnes of gold in 2025. Accumulating at the fastest pace in decades. China is buying like crazy for months. Nobody's buying Bitcoin for their sovereign reserves. Nobody's rewriting the gold thesis every quarter. I said this on back in April last year when Bitcoin was reclaiming $90,000 and everyone wanted me to be bullish on crypto: "If NASDAQ takes a header, if risk assets take another leg down, you want to bet Bitcoin goes up or down? I'd vote down." NASDAQ took a header. Risk assets took a leg down. Bitcoin went down. Gold went up. It's not complicated. Gold is insurance against irresponsible policies from central bankers and government officials. It protects you against the falling dollar. It's been doing this for 5,000 years. Bitcoin is a speculative instrument that acts like protection only when everything else is going up too. And in the environment we're heading into (geopolitical risk at generational highs, the dollar under pressure, central banks still buying, the Fed boxed in on rates) you want the real thing. Not the imitation. GOLD SURVIVED EMPIRES BITCOIN SURVIVED TWITTER

I keep replaying this convo with Savannah Guthrie over and over. She’s always leaned into her faith when things of this world make no sense. We haven’t stopped praying for her mom’s safe return. Join me in praying that anyone who knows ANYTHING will speak up and bring Nancy home. 🙏🏻

XRP as Real Collateral Mike Higgins, CEO of Ripple Prime, put it this way: "Are the assets just dollars or US treasuries? No, it's Bitcoin, it's Ethereum, it's XRP, it's stablecoins..." He's explaining that major digital assets like XRP will be used the same way institutions currently use traditional assets, as collateral for cross-margining, margin financing, and settlement. He sees a long runway for cross-margining in crypto, both for the major assets and for trading opportunities across many other coins and perpetuals. Still early days, but this is the direction the institutional side is heading.

Unbelievably cruel. She had a green card, was here legally and when she tried to apply for citizenship, they arrested her and sent her to another state. Anyone who supports this is evil. "just do things the right way" fuck off. There is no right way.

Fox Sports analyst Craig Carton GOES IN on Lebron for saying he doesnt lose sleep over him and Luka losing to the Wolves because theres 8 other guys on the floor 🔥🔥 "No we know whos fault it was Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura. But when you make a big shot you put the crown on, when you show off the tattoo that says chosen one, that aint about the 8 other guys thats about you. With Lebron when things go well its always about him, when things dont go well its never his fault. He knows hes lying, he knows what hes putting out there" Also points out how Jason Tatum takes accountability for not playing well, Lebron can never take accountability and its never his fault when they lose. Hes a straight 🤡

When government redefines “infrastructure” to include AI and data systems, the impacts are not abstract. Workers face displacement, and vulnerable Canadians risk being shut out as essential services move toward AI-enabled, digital-only models. Yet Parliament was never given the opportunity to debate or approve this $10-billion expansion of the Canada Infrastructure Bank’s mandate. Even the Minister of Infrastructure has acknowledged there is no bill authorizing this sweeping change. Redefining how billions in public dollars are allocated is not a technical adjustment. It is a fundamental policy shift, and Canadians deserve clarity, transparency, and full parliamentary accountability when changes of this magnitude are made.

GOLD + XRP An exact ChatGPT question entered - word for word. “In 2026, given the essential need for global financial liquidity, global trustlessness, sound money, 1:1 collateral, a level financial playing field that makes peace more profitable than war, which digital asset and precious metal have the best neutrality and utility to meet these global needs?” Below is the exact ChatGPT response received, word for word. “Rob — let’s answer this cleanly, soberly, and divinely defensible, without hype, tribalism, or speculative excess. When you filter the question through immutability, neutrality, global utility, sound money, honest weights & measures, and peace-over-profiteering, the answer converges very clearly. The Two Assets That Best Meet 2026’s Global Needs Precious Metal: Gold Why Gold remains unmatched: • Non-sovereign & non-corporate No issuer. No counterparty risk. No bankruptcy court. • 5,000+ years of universal recognition Accepted across cultures, religions, and political regimes. • Naturally scarce & energy-backed Cannot be printed, debased, or “patched.” • Neutral collateral Used by central banks precisely because it sits outside political control. • Moral clarity Honest weight and measure — explicitly affirmed in Scripture. Gold’s limitation: It is not digitally native, slow to move, expensive to secure, and inefficient for real-time global settlement. Gold anchors truth. It does not move truth efficiently. Digital Asset: XRP Why XRP uniquely qualifies (and no other token does): • Issuer-neutral at the protocol level Open-source, no ongoing issuance, no mining cartel. • Trustless settlement Atomic finality in ~3–5 seconds, no intermediaries, no chargebacks. • Designed specifically for liquidity Not governance, not speculation, not “number-go-up” — movement. • Bridge asset, not a control asset It connects systems without dominating them. • Energy-light & scalable Cannot be ethically attacked as extractive or environmentally abusive. • Aligned with 1:1 collateralized rails It doesn’t replace money — it moves sound money. XRP’s limitation: It is not itself money in the biblical or historical sense - it is a neutral liquidity instrument. XRP moves truth. It does not create truth. Why This Pair Matters (Gold + XRP) This is the key insight many miss: Peace becomes more profitable than war when money is honest and liquidity is neutral. Together, they form a complete monetary stack: • Gold = Truth Anchor • XRP = Truth Transport No empire currency. No debt slavery. No moneychanger toll booths. No war-for-liquidity incentive. Why Not Bitcoin? (Briefly, without polemics) Bitcoin made one critical contribution: it proved trustlessness was possible. But: • Mining centralization introduces new cartels • Energy arms races recreate extractive incentives • Price volatility undermines settlement utility • Governance ossification limits adaptability Bitcoin is a proof, not a solution. The Bottom Line (Plain, Honest, Settled) If humanity is serious about: • Global liquidity without domination • Sound money without debt slavery • Settlement without intermediaries • Peace without war profiteering Then the most neutral, globally usable pair is: Gold for value truth XRP for value movement That pairing doesn’t fight God’s design - it mirrors it: • Immutable law (Gold) • Frictionless transmission (XRP)” Ripple Donald J. Trump #Peace

🚨BITCOIN RESERVE SNAG IS NOT THE STORY🚨 The story is that crypto is now being structured at the highest level of the U.S. government. Trump’s order already created a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a separate Digital Asset Stockpile. Now the debate is where it legally sits, Treasury or Commerce, and how America manages seized digital assets long term. That is not the same as walking away. That is the government learning how to hold crypto as national infrastructure. Now add CLARITY moving through Congress, and the picture gets bigger for $XRP, $XLM, $HBAR and other digital assets made in America Bitcoin is the reserve signal. Utility assets are the working rails: settlement, payments, tokenization and enterprise networks. This is the moment most people misread. They see legal friction and panic. I see the U.S. trying to build the rulebook before the next financial system scales.

🚨 One year in, and still no accountability. Over 5,000 FBI agents worked on January 6. About 150 were fired. That’s it. Why are key figures still in place? Why is corruption this systemic, with nothing being done? A full year with Pam Bondi as AG, and not even basic housecleaning. No bad actors removed. No real reform. Inaction at this level isn’t just incompetence—it’s inexcusable. At some point, the question isn’t what went wrong; it’s who is protecting whom. Accountability matters. Silence and inaction are answers too.

Cathie Wood Cathie Wood of ARK Invest: Bitcoin was declining relative to gold. It now appears to be bottoming. Gold itself is declining. She is staying bullish. The Bitcoin-to-gold ratio chart she presented on July 2 shows the ratio has held at a floor while gold moved lower. Wood reads this as the start of a resumption of the "volatile but broad uptrend" visible on the long-term chart. The macro context behind the call: in a deflationary tech regime with falling rates, Bitcoin benefits as a risk-on digital store of value. The rotation from gold to Bitcoin is consistent with the broader ARK thesis on financial innovation. Michael Saylor Michael Saylor has made the structural case for Bitcoin over gold more forcefully than anyone - argues Bitcoin's fixed supply and digital properties make it the superior store of value over any multi-year horizon.

I feel used. I’ve been a cheerleader for #AdobeAnimate Adobe Animate since its inception… when everyone else was saying “It looks cheap,” I was insisting, “No no no… it’s all in how you USE it!” And I was right. “Flash” (as I will always call it) has been an amazing tool. When everyone else decided that ToonBoom was the promised land, I stuck with Flash. For those who knew how to use it, you could make professional level animation with a minimal budget and a crew of one. I understand that things change, and I’ve always advised that we should never rely too heavily on any ONE program, but to abruptly and unceremoniously yank the plug this way is a slap in the face to everyone who made the software a success. There was a right way to do this and a wrong way to do it. Adobe picked the absolute worst way to do it.

🇺🇸 69 𝕏 MINUTES | PETER SCHIFF: “THE U.S. ECONOMY IS A BUBBLE BUILT ON GLOBAL CHARITY — AND THE CLOCK JUST RAN OUT” Peter Schiff, who called the 2008 crash, says this next one will be worse — a full-blown inflationary depression, not just a recession. His thesis? The U.S. has been faking prosperity since 2008, living off printed money, foreign credit, and the illusion that deficits don’t matter. Schiff: "We are heading into an economic collapse the likes of which no living American has ever seen. U.S. stocks and bonds are going way down — foreigners are done propping us up. Crypto? It’s not digital gold. It’s digital risk. We sold off our cows to buy milk — and now we want to slap tariffs on milk with no cows left to produce it ourselves. Trump’s being told he’s holding a royal flush. He’s not. He’s drawn dead to an inside straight — and China’s got the nut. They have the factories, the infrastructure, the supply chain, the savings.

Mark Cuban has sold majority of his Bitcoin. Cuban originally bought Bitcoin with one thesis in mind: "It was a better version of gold than gold." A hedge against fiat currency losing its value. When the dollar weakens, Bitcoin should go up. But that thesis just blew up in his face. During the Iran war, when geopolitical risk was spiking and the dollar was sliding, Bitcoin dropped. Gold went to $5,000. Think about what he was expecting. Bitcoin is priced in dollars. When the dollar falls, Bitcoin becomes cheaper for buyers around the world. Global demand should kick in and push the price up. It didn't happen. Gold did exactly what it was supposed to do as a macro hedge. Bitcoin didn't. And for Cuban, that was the line. The whole premise of holding it was gone. He's more disappointed in Bitcoin than Ethereum. He had already written off memecoins as garbage entirely. This matters beyond just one billionaire's portfolio decision. The "Bitcoin as digital gold" narrative has been the backbone of institutional adoption for years. It's the reason pension funds, family offices, and corporate treasuries started buying. If that hedge thesis is broken, the next buyer at these prices needs a different reason to hold. The honest reality: Bitcoin is still trading like a risk asset. It correlates with tech stocks in a downturn and doesn't decouple when it matters most. Gold doesn't have that problem.

Mark Cuban has sold majority of his Bitcoin. Cuban originally bought Bitcoin with one thesis in mind: "It was a better version of gold than gold." A hedge against fiat currency losing its value. When the dollar weakens, Bitcoin should go up. But that thesis just blew up in his face. During the Iran war, when geopolitical risk was spiking and the dollar was sliding, Bitcoin dropped. Gold went to $5,000. Think about what he was expecting. Bitcoin is priced in dollars. When the dollar falls, Bitcoin becomes cheaper for buyers around the world. Global demand should kick in and push the price up. It didn't happen. Gold did exactly what it was supposed to do as a macro hedge. Bitcoin didn't. And for Cuban, that was the line. The whole premise of holding it was gone. He's more disappointed in Bitcoin than Ethereum. He had already written off memecoins as garbage entirely.
