joke of a president...

Trump turns demand on Tehran

Trump said Iran's request for compensation prompted the United States to adopt its own position ahead of future talks.

"I now am likewise demanding compensation from Iran," Trump wrote.

He said the demand would cover Americans killed and injured in roadside bomb attacks, victims of conflicts he attributed to Iran and Gen Qassem Soleimani, the families of those killed in the 2000 USS Cole bombing, and what he described as hundreds of thousands of Iranian protesters killed over the past five decades.

Trump also referenced the deaths of 52,000 people during the recent conflict, saying he had instructed US representatives to make compensation a formal part of "any, and all, future negotiations."

The post marked the first time Trump publicly said reparations would become an official US negotiating position.

because of Stretch... he has to pay 11% coupon and maintain the market price at 100% increasing the coupon if the price falls.

It is a con scheme and he a con artist.

08-10-26  victor

savo, interesting. what surprises me most is why would he sell so much when the price is not high??

a different story would: btc making new highs, sell and make a tidy profit. this would be understandable.

but this is not the case. how come??

victor...

Strategy plans to sell up to $5 billion of its Bitcoin holdings to fund dividends and stock buybacks, marking a significant shift from its previous "never sell" approach.


Saylosr lost his remaining sanity...

first he tried to sell BTCs... as BTCs collapsed.. he started selling common... as common collapsed and now trade below NAV... he goes back to selling BTC...

this merry round will end this useless company... and hopefully bring saylor to jail.

UK regulators are preparing a framework for tokenised gold as part of plans to encourage the digitisation of financial markets and to protect the dominance of London in global bullion trading.

Savo if you believe that I hope it is merely some sort of confused coincidence of circumstances for you.

israel's bidding.

A conspiracy theory one that repeats through history unfortunately for my Jewish friends of which I believe I have many.

08-10-26  savo

israel's bidding.

08-10-26  savo

confused

08-10-26  savo

spal... you are confuse

I lover the country and its people... i regret though to see the country run by an association of mass murderers, thieves and crooks.

I have no opinion about China... never been there... never will... I like though that they do not start wars every year do not mess into other countries affairs and do not do Israel's.

08-10-26  carib

Spal: that is obvious.
My point is I would prefer a USA run by sane people, with globally valid values, seeking cooperation more than isolation or imposition by force.
This is still ultimately a choice to be made by US elites and voters.

... when things are going well a cold, rational, non-messianic commercial power extracting value from global trade is tres cool beans. Many likes are given here. Probably 9 very nices out of 10.

Under stress a closed, hierarchical Leninist state demands total submission, suppresses internal critique, and prioritizes control over truth.

We know enough to know this to be true.

08-10-26  spal

a state's internal governance model inevitably sets the upper limit on its external performance. ... But I can see how you like the way they move it and shake it with the dictators of the world. The banality of immorality is good for biz - short term.

08-10-26  spal

Carib - if you say so. It sounds so perfect.

08-10-26  carib

SPAL: I would say.. China is run by sane people, as far as we can see.They no longer have "values", besides self interest of the country, and no "exportable" ideology.

08-10-26  spal

Savo at core China is run by fanatical bureaucrats - that is its core. You can love it all you like, but in essence you will forever have to kiss their asses. Now that may be the taste of some and many will enjoy it ... but you can count me out.

08-10-26  spal

Fuck China.

Good morning Colores ...

China’s state strategy isn't a contradiction; it is a trade-off.

The state being in charge allows China to capture standards bodies and dominate industrial deployment by sheer force of scale. But that same state control restricts the intellectual friction, capital fluidity, and decentralized risk-taking necessary to invent the very foundational technologies it is trying to standardize.

He treats his audience as morons ... which by and large is actually a reasonable assumption.

08-10-26  spal

The empirical data demonstrates why China’s efforts are neither "fading" nor producing pure frontier dominance:

The Volume/Standards Reality: China now accounts for nearly 47% of global patent filings and dominates raw 5G Standard Essential Patent (SEP) declarations. This gives China massive regulatory and licensing leverage globally.

The Quality/Frontier Gap: Network science analyses of global citation networks reveal that while China leads in raw counts, the U.S. maintains significant superiority in mean patent importance and citation centrality across key frontier domains—semiconductors, biotech, AI architectures, and advanced software.

Asymmetric Dependence: Even in cutting-edge fields like Chinese AI development, global citation studies show that Chinese frontier AI models still rely disproportionately on U.S. foundational research and base-model architectures, whereas U.S. reliance on Chinese foundational IP is significantly lower.

Honestly someone needs to call Jensen on his hokey little act. I think he is a devious little prick, but that is my default setting ...

Spal, Yes

In a very large sense it is propaganda for Jensen. He wants something.
