Germany 🇩🇪: In a call to defend democracy, authorities and media outlets are considering the possibility of banning the right-wing “AFD” party in Germany. “AFD” currently ranks second in the polls with 21%. The magazine “Der Spiegel” published that: “The AfD has become increasingly radicalized. It is time to defend democracy with better weapons”. Chancellor Olaf Scholz has declared that a ban should be considered if the AfD is categorized as a group of "proven right-wing extremists" by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution. And the president of the German republic, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, said in a speech to the country's domestic intelligence agency that "we all have it in our hands to put those who despise our democracy in their place." The Tagesspiegel newspaper also talks about banning the party.

It's not about how much you want something. It's not about how hard you're willing to work for it. It's about how many times you're willing to start over when you fail. Resilience and consistency will take you to the top. Good week guys.

0.002625 Bitcoin. 262,500 Satoshi. $77 (block time: 802979). This is the amount of #Bitcoin and the price of it in U.S. dollars that each person would have if all Bitcoin were distributed equally. Sounds like little and like an amount to have lying inconsequentially somewhere on a software wallet, but if we look to the year 2064, this will be roughly the amount of fresh Bitcoin per new block. Year 2064: 0.00305175 Bitcoin every ~10 minutes. 305,175 Satoshi. In about 40 years, each block will emit roughly the amount of Bitcoin that a human can own on average. Just one person every ~10 minutes. A global, gigantic participation of people with immense infrastructure, energy, time, work and power will spend their resources to bring this amount of Bitcoin on the stage of our world, so that just one human could own the average. With $77 today, which you can't even refuel your car with in some parts of the world, the next generation gets a complete blocksubsidy of a Bitcoin block that becomes scarcer every four years. If you have 0.002625 Bitcoin sitting in a wallet, in 40 years that will be the most valuable asset for many people. Realize this. Buy Bitcoin, be the owner of a block reward and hold.

The scary math behind the world’s safest assets: Washington has laid the seeds of a crisis that Wall Street can no longer ignore. Around three-quarters of Treasurys must be rolled over within 5yrs. Say you added just 1ppt to the avg interest rate in the CBO’s forecast and kept every other number unchanged. That would result in an additional $3.5tn in federal debt by 2033. The govt’s annual interest bill alone would then be ~$2tn. For perspective, individual income taxes are set to bring in only $2.5tn this year.
