I’ve been saying all year “Crime Season ends by November,” and here we are. If the sleuths are right, the inevitable backlash against the crypto-political grift of the past 16 months has its jump-off point.

The HyperLiquid whale shorting BTC/ETH yesterday was placing shorts up till exactly 1 minute before Trump threatened tariffs against China. The last short was placed at 20:49 GMT. Trump tweeted at 20:50 GMT. What incredible "luck"

Raise your hand if you are ready to go to war against CEX listings that charge 2-9% of a token supply to be listed.

Trump said at rallies that he’d do something like this, but it showed up in polls as a problem for him, so he used a Fox News town hall to say he wouldn’t have “time for retribution.” Per @axiosalex, Trump got the town hall topics in advance. nytimes.com/2024/01/10/us/…

Phillip: I asked senator Tim Scott when he was on the show last year, is Trump just going to go after his political enemies? And he said, absolutely not.  And now I'm being told that this is what he campaigned on all along and that the American people affirmatively voted for him…

strategy - a pointed contrast to the “back-and-forth” policies of “some Western countries.” It went on to mock US inconsistencies: “In the past, they championed globalization; now they turn inward. In the past, they vowed to fight climate change; now they withdraw from Paris Agr”

New: In an interview days before his Dreamforce conference comes to town, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said he would support Donald Trump sending National Guard troops to San Francisco. And he said Trump is doing “a great job.” nytimes.com/2025/10/10/us/…

The one thing I see no one talking about Is how WLFI "magically" dumped (red line) before the crash (blue line) Likely insiders knew, sold WLFI first, and then went on to short the market (Hyperliquid insider) Man, this shit sucks.

Good insights from the head of HPC and AI infrastcuture compute at Azure on the challenges of building an AI datacenter. Designing a data center is sort of like designing silicon :). Note, GPU depreciation point.

Pure nonsense. Jefferson drafted Virginia's Statute of Religious Freedom, which he said was intended to provide religious freedom to “the Jew, the Gentile, the Christian, the Mahometan, the Hindoo, and [the] infidel of every denomination.” Madison, meanwhile, wrote that the…

Freedom of religion as understood by the founders is basically the right to be Presbyterian, Episcopal, Lutheran and Baptist, while Catholics would be tolerated on the fringes of society. Freedom of religion does not mean a public Islamic call to prayer, or a statue of monkey God

As negotiations for a Gaza peace deal approached the finish line, President Trump provided a personal guarantee to Hamas through Qatar, Egypt and Turkey, that he wouldn't let Israel abandon the agreement and resume the war. My story on @axios axios.com/2025/10/10/tru…

China added 10X as much energy to their grid as we did last year. This project would’ve been equal to 1/6th of the power the US brought online last year.
