📰 Next monday, we may see one of the biggest hikes in crude oil since at least the first Gulf War. Why? Iran currently produces 3.3 million barrels of crude oil per day, or ~3.5% of global supply. During the current war, Israel is attacking the oil depots, oil fields and gas fields of Iran. Hoping for diplomacy and peace... This world is on the brink of self destruction and the war mongers are out of control...

📰 Gold has overtaken the euro to become the world’s second-largest reserve asset by market value, according to the European Central Bank. The ECB attributes the shift to record central bank purchases and rising geopolitical tensions. The Europeans need to mobilize and remove their incompetent sold out leaders that are 24/7 pushing for WW3 and a non sense arm race to enrich their masters instead of working for regional stability, peace and working on policies to improve the Europeans living standards.

🚨 Fake News coming from Paraguay A tweet from the X account of Paraguayan President Santiago Peña falsely claimed that Bitcoin had been declared legal tender in Paraguay and that a $5 million BTC reserve had been established as part of the national treasury.

BIP merge for Pull Request #32406 on Bitcoin Core have been merged... How about that! This war was over rather quick, surprised? I am not... Follow the money, tons to be made in DeFi... yeah in Bitcoin Blockchain... Set for release in October 2025 Why make this change? The idea is to make Bitcoin Core’s rules less restrictive. By loosening the rules, Bitcoin Core hopes to: 1. Make it easier for everyone to use OP_RETURN for legitimate purposes (like DeFi protocols or other apps that need to store data on-chain). 2. Improve fairness in mining, since miners will see these transactions in their mempools (the pool of pending transactions) rather than through backchannels. 3. Speed up block validation and propagation, as nodes will already have these transactions in their mempools, making it easier to verify new blocks. Why is it controversial again? Not everyone agrees with this change. Some folks worry it could lead to more "spam" transactions—people stuffing the blockchain with unnecessary data, which could clog the network or make it more expensive to run a node. The debate has been heated, with some community members and developers opposing the merge, saying it goes against community sentiment or could hurt Bitcoin’s goal of staying decentralized. What’s the impact? In summary, the merge makes Bitcoin Core more flexible about how much data you can attach to transactions, bigger smart contracts like in Ethereum... oh well...

What is the controversy around Michael Saylor today in the news? The controversy around Michael Saylor on social media, particularly X, centers on his October 2024 comments downplaying Bitcoin self-custody, his May 2025 critique of proof-of-reserves, and the recent class action lawsuit against MicroStrategy for allegedly misleading investors about Bitcoin’s risks. These events have sparked debates about trust, transparency, and Bitcoin’s core principles, with critics accusing Saylor of prioritizing corporate interests and defenders arguing he’s strategically positioning Bitcoin for mainstream adoption. The sentiment on X ranges from outrage to cautious support, reflecting the polarized views on Saylor’s influence in the crypto space.
