I’ve been in the crypto trenches since 2016, riding waves that’d make a surfer weep.
I’ve seen $BTC bleed, soar, and shrug off doubters like a champ. Back when it was scraping by under 40K, the crowd was howling for 60K, dreaming of lambos and moon emojis. Now? It’s flexing past 80K, and some folks are still griping, like kids who got a pony but wanted a unicorn.
Greed’s a hell of a drug.
Rewind to March 2020—COVID chaos, markets tanking, pure panic.
$BTC plummeted to 4K, and you could hear the HODLers sobbing through their screens. “It’s over,” they wailed, clutching their paper hands.
But me?
I’ve seen this movie before. By December, that beast clawed back to 20K, and by 2021, it was strutting at 69K, laughing in the face of fear. That dip was a speed bump, not a graveyard.
This little stumble we’re in now?
It’s a cosmic giggle, a fleeting fart in the wind. $BTC got phoenix blood—it doesn’t just recover, it roars back with a vengeance. I’ve watched it defy gravity too many times to count.
So stow the doomscrolling, crack a beer, and HODL tight.
A new potential "black swan" risk is emerging: Pakistan has warned that an Indian invasion is inevitable and could happen within 24 days — around late May.
Both countries are nuclear powers, and Pakistan has stated it is ready to launch a preemptive nuclear strike if necessary.
Could market makers use this as an excuse to shake equities and crypto markets? They could. The risk is low for now, but nothing can be ruled out.
Lobbying spending keeps climbing, especially from Big Pharma, finance, and energy sectors. If you’re wondering why government decisions often favor Wall Street over Main Street — just follow the money.
• Amazon ($AMZN) will now show Trump’s tariffs on every product — straight on the site. • Clearly a Bezos move. The man might be trying to save global trade single-handedly. • The White House called it a hostile and political act.

This might be one of the most important charts in years.
AI alone could push electricity demand to the equivalent of adding another U.S. economy within five years. Another overlooked point: the widening gap between U.S. and China power demand. If onshoring accelerates, the U.S. could face a similar spike.
California has officially overtaken Japan to become the world’s fourth-largest economy by GDP.
According to the IMF and the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, California’s nominal GDP reached $4.1 trillion in 2024, surpassing Japan’s $4.03 trillion.
California now trails only the U.S. ($29.2T), China ($18.7T), and Germany ($4.7T).
Within the U.S., California’s economy is 51% larger than Texas ($2.7T), the second-largest state economy.
