Bitcoin to Set New Record – $120K in Q2 and $200K by End of 2025, Says The Block

According to the publication, Geoffrey Kendrick, Head of Digital Assets Research at Standard Chartered, forecasts a sharp rise in Bitcoin driven by a shift of investments away from U.S. assets.

Kendrick highlights that:

🔸The U.S. Treasury yield premium — which closely correlates with Bitcoin — has reached a 12-year high.

🔸There is a surge in Bitcoin accumulation by large holders (“whales”), especially following Trump’s announcement of a 90-day tariff delay for all countries except China.

🔸Signs have emerged of capital outflows from gold ETFs into Bitcoin ETFs, further indicating growing interest in BTC as a safe-haven asset.

🔸Both American and Asian investors are increasingly buying Bitcoin, reinforcing the upward trend.

UN Says Crime Syndicates Expanding Into Crypto and Blockchain To Power Multibillion-Dollar Operations

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) is warning that organized crime syndicates are increasingly leveraging cryptocurrency and blockchain technology to fuel their operations.
According to a new UNODC report, gangs in Southeast Asia are creating tailored financial ecosystems, including unlicensed exchanges and stablecoins, to evade detection and launder illicit money.
“…Many of the region’s largest criminal groups that have expanded within Southeast Asia and a growing number of jurisdictions in other parts of the world have rapidly diversified their business lines towards the development of key infrastructure.
This has extended far beyond the construction and management of physical scam centers to include online gambling platforms and software services, unlicensed payment processors and cryptocurrency exchanges, encrypted communications platforms and, most recently, stablecoins, four blockchain networks, and illicit online marketplaces, often controlled by the same criminal networks.“
The UN also calls for international cooperation and stronger regulatory frameworks to combat and stem the growth of such groups.
“The subtle and ongoing spillover creeping into other regions has allowed Asian crime syndicates to broaden the scope of their operations and target an increasingly diverse range of victim profiles and nationalities from around the world.
More than this, it has allowed them to dramatically scale up profits and influence while simultaneously generating billions in illicit capital reserves (fiat and cryptocurrency) that can be reinvested into further expansion and also utilized to service the money laundering needs of other criminal groups globally.”

US Markets Will Crash if President Trump Forces Fed Chair Jerome Powell Out, Warns Senator Elizabeth Warren

Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts says that the US markets will witness another meltdown if Fed Chair Jerome Powell loses his job because of President Trump.
In a new interview on CNBC Squawk Box, Warren says that it would be disastrous for US markets if Trump somehow manages to force Powell out.
“If Chairman Powell can be fired by the president of the United States, it would crash the markets in the United States. The infrastructure that keeps this stock market strong and therefore a big part of our economy strong, and therefore a big part of the world economy strong, is the idea that the big pieces move independent of the politics, that somebody is making their best decisions economically and independently.
We understand that if the New York Stock Exchange, if interest rates in the United States are subject to a president who just wants to wave his magic wand, this doesn’t distinguish us from any other two-bit dictatorship around the world where everyone knows what your really big investment risk is will that dictator wake up in the morning and have a tummy ache and decide to cause this problem, or favor that friend?

CIA Declassifies Report on Alien Attack on Soviet Soldiers – Fox News

The report states that the incident occurred after Red Army soldiers shot down a UFO ("a low-flying saucer-shaped spacecraft") over a Soviet military facility.

The surviving aliens allegedly managed to escape from the wreckage of their ship and attacked the soldiers. According to the report, the aliens ("five short humanoids with large heads and big black eyes") merged into a single glowing entity and then turned the soldiers into stone, sparing only two of them.

“If the KGB dossier is accurate, this is an extremely alarming case. The aliens possess weapons and technologies far beyond anything we can imagine. They can certainly defend themselves if attacked,” an unnamed CIA representative is quoted as saying in the report.

According to Canadian Weekly World News, the alleged incident took place between 1989 and 1990.

Billionaire Warren Buffett Adds $11,500,000,000 To Net Worth in Just 15 Weeks

Billionaire Warren Buffett has recorded billions of dollars in gains this year despite the global market selloff, according to a new report.
Buffett’s net worth is now $153.5 billion after surging $11.5 billion this year alone, reports Bloomberg.
Buffett’s gains stand out amid the tariff-induced selloff triggered by President Trump, which wiped trillions of dollars from global equities.
And his gains come despite this month’s sell off, which reduced Buffett’s 2025 winnings by $14.5 billion.
Buffett, who is now ranked fourth among global billionaires, is one of only two in the top 20 that grew richer this year.
He’s alongside L’Oreal heiress Francoise Bettencourt Meyers, who has added $1.8 billion.
After the tariff news hit, the top 500 billionaires shed over $500 billion in just two days.
Elon Musk alone suffered a $134 billion loss, with net worth now standing at about $297 billion.
Meanwhile, Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett’s conglomerate, saw an 8.8% share decline since April 2, outperforming the S&P 500’s 10.7% fall.
The company’s relative resilience stems from its focus on the property and casualty sector, which remains less affected by global trade disruptions.
Buffett has avoided major deals, while trimming stakes in Apple and Bank of America, which have both been hit hard by the tariffs.

Lawyer Sues US Government To Find Out Identity of Bitcoin Creator Satoshi Nakomoto

Crypto lawyer James “MetaLawMan” Murphy is suing the US government to see if it’s hiding any information about the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin (BTC), Satoshi Nakamoto.
Murphy points to comments made by Rana Saoud, a special agent at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), at an OffshoreAlert conference in 2019.
Saoud claimed at the conference that multiple DHS agents “flew out to California” and interviewed Nakamoto and “three other people” who were also responsible for creating Bitcoin.
Murphy says he’s filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the DHS over Saoud’s comments to find out what the government actually knows about BTC’s mysterious creator.
“My FOIA lawsuit simply asks for the notes, emails and other documents relating to that alleged interview. IF the interview really happened as the DHS Agent claimed, there should be documentation of the substance of that meeting.
I would encourage DHS Secretary Noem to voluntarily disclose the information I requested. It is entirely possible that the DHS Agent was mistaken and DHS did not interview the real Satoshi. If DHS resists disclosure, I will pursue the case to conclusion to solve this mystery.”
Blockchain analysts estimate Nakamoto mined one million BTC, starting with the first 50 BTC reward for the genesis block on January 3rd, 2009. The last publicly verifiable online sighting of Satoshi was in December 2010.

JPMorgan Issues ‘High Alert’ Forecast as Trade Tensions Threaten Collapse

JPMorgan has issued a stark warning that tariffs could lead to a “self-inflicted wound,” pushing the U.S. into a recession marked by rising inflation, falling earnings, and evaporating trust—potentially triggering a global economic crash.

The JPMorgan executive forecasted that if current tariffs remain in place, they could raise inflation by “+1–2%” and deal comparable damage to economic growth. He cautioned:

“If the announced U.S. tariffs persist and no further retaliatory escalation occurs, growing concern over slow growth and high inflation could evolve into something worse — a race toward recession. A self-inflicted wound.”

He advised investors to closely monitor the yield on 10-year Treasury bonds, as a drop would indicate markets increasingly pricing in recession risk. He also pointed to overly optimistic corporate earnings forecasts:

“I expect this year’s 10% earnings growth projections to be revised down. The same applies for next year.”

Madigan compared the U.S. trade stance to an overly aggressive opening move in negotiations:

“We’re watching a real-time ‘Negotiation 101’ lesson. It starts with anchoring.”

But when the opening bids are “absurdly high,” he warned, trust breaks down.

“Nobody is happy with the announced tariffs except the President,” he wrote, suggesting the current strategy risks alienating trade partners and dragging the global economy down.

On monetary policy, he dismissed expectations of four Federal Reserve rate cuts this year, saying:

“That seems unlikely to me. I’m leaning toward one in the second half. If growth drops sharply, maybe two. Time will tell.”

With weakening consumer spending and potential corporate hiring cuts, the JPMorgan executive concluded:

“Tail risks are elevated, markets are not cheap, and the outlook is uncertain.”

GERMANY CONSIDERS REPATRIATING BILLIONS IN #GOLD FROM U.S. AMID TARIFF TENSIONS

Germany is weighing the possibility of withdrawing around 1,200 tonnes of gold—worth over €113 billion ($124.41 billion)—from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. This consideration arises amidst rising trade tensions due to tariffs imposed by former U.S. President Donald Trump on the European Union.

With 3,352 tonnes in total reserves, Germany holds the world's second-largest gold stockpile. Currently, 30–37% of this gold is stored in New York—an arrangement rooted in Cold War-era strategies to ensure dollar liquidity during crises. The rest is held in Frankfurt (50%) and London (13%).

Calls for greater oversight or full repatriation have intensified from politicians such as CDU members Marco Wanderwitz and Markus Ferber. Their concerns center on fears that the U.S. might restrict access to the gold amid economic disputes.

The European Taxpayers Association has echoed these worries, urging for “immediate access” to gold reserves. This push comes alongside discussions around new EU debt instruments. However, Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel has maintained confidence in the Federal Reserve, calling it a "trustworthy partner."

This debate echoes Germany's previous gold repatriation campaign from 2013–2017, during which 674 tonnes were brought back from New York and Paris despite initial logistical hurdles. Only 5 tonnes were repatriated in 2013, highlighting the complexity of such operations.

Economically, Bundesbank estimates suggest that U.S. tariffs could reduce German GDP growth by 1.5 percentage points by 2027. Meanwhile, gold prices have surged past $3,100/oz amid growing market uncertainty.

Globally, there’s a shift toward domestic gold storage: 68% of central banks now prefer it, up from 50% in 2020, according to the World Gold Council's 2023 survey. This trend has accelerated due to U.S. sanctions against Russia and others, highlighting a global push for financial sovereignty.

#MarketMeltdown

Robert Kiyosaki Warns Biggest Market Crash Has Arrived, Suggests Three ‘Non-Wall Street’ Assets To Weather Storm

Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki says that the stock market meltdown that he predicted years ago is now underway.
The best-selling personal finance author tells his 2.7 million followers on the social media platform X that he thinks the US is staring at the possibility of entering a period of severe economic depression.

“In my book Rich Dad’s Prophecy, I warned that the biggest stock market crash in history was going to wipe out the financial security of millions of investors… That stock market crash arrived today. We are definitely in a RECESSION and more than likely…a DEPRESSION.”

Kiyosaki says he sees three “non-Wall Street” assets coming out on top amid the stock market collapse.
“What can a person do?
As I have been suggesting for years, I suggest looking at non-WALL STREET assets.
For many years, I have suggested saving real gold, real silver, and today BITCOIN.”
Kiyosaki says that the Fed and the Treasury will likely debase the US dollar in an effort to prop up the economy. He notes that dollar debasement will lead to inflation and higher prices for scarce assets like gold, silver and Bitcoin (BTC).

“WHY: Because after this paper market crash wipes out millions of fake paper assets. Odds are the Fed and Treasury will turn the printing presses on FULL SPEED, printing trillions in fake money, which becomes even more FAKE. And real money – Gold, Silver, and Bitcoin – go up in value.

Remember, gold, silver, and Bitcoin ARE NOT going up in price. What is happening is the dollar is going down in value, causing everything of value, such as food, housing and energy to become more expensive, a.k.a. INFLATION…

Take care. There are going to be rough storms ahead.”

At time of writing, Bitcoin is trading for $82,816.

#DonaldJTrump

Amid mass protests in the United States, Democratic Congressman Al Green announced that he would introduce a resolution to impeach within 30 days.

The politician added that Trump "does not deserve" the trust or the position of President of the United States.

It should be noted that mass protests against Trump and Musk have taken place in the US and Europe, particularly in opposition to import tariffs, harsh immigration policies, and mass layoffs. The organizers of the rallies stated that their goal is to put an end to the takeover of power by billionaires.

Thousands of people took part in the protests, which were held at state capitols, federal institutions, and offices of US Congress members. Washington police refrained from estimating the number of participants near the White House, but CNN reported that a large banner reading “Hands off our democracy!” was stretched out in the open just a few blocks from the building.

Some protesters held signs that read: “Not my president!”, “Fascism has arrived”, “Stop the evil”, and “Hands off our social security.”

Protests against Trump’s policies also took place in Europe, notably in London, Rome, and Paris.

Another Prophecy from "The Simpsons"?
April 12, 2025 — the end of an era. That’s what the sign says above the coffin, where a cartoonish version of Donald Trump lies still. Blood on the suit, grim faces all around — all in the iconic style of the legendary series that has “predicted” real events with eerie accuracy more than once.

Coincidence? Random satire? Or yet another spark tossed into the fire of political madness?

The Simpsons has always been more than just a cartoon. It’s sharp social commentary — almost prophetic at times. What once made us laugh now sends chills down the spine.

2025 is just around the corner. The real question isn’t whether this will come true — but what it will cost when such eras come to an end.

#TrumpTariffs

Conservative Fox News has removed the DOW index ticker from its broadcast for the first time in 30 years.

This move is likely linked to the sharp decline in the index following the introduction of sweeping tariffs by Trump — over the past few days, the DOW has dropped by approximately 7 percent.

For reference: the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DOW) is one of the oldest and most well-known stock market indices in the United States. It reflects the performance of 30 of the largest and most stable American companies, such as Apple, Boeing, Coca-Cola, and others. A drop in the index indicates declining investor confidence and a general deterioration in the state of the economy or the stock market.

Fox News' decision to stop displaying the ticker may be an attempt to reduce the visual impact of the crash and avoid further damaging the image of Trump's policies in the eyes of viewers (Fox is the main media platform for Republicans, and a large portion of the current U.S. president's supporters rely on it for their news).
