Dont like BLS data because it's "biased"? Fine. Let's take a look at ADP's estimate of total payrolls. Looks like things kinda stalled right around April, eh?

The cynical view? The days of massive unit growth are over. Any pop in any given quarter is just noise.

White House letter demanding drug companies lower prices to MFN levels for the US (along with other demands)

White House letter demanding drug companies lower prices to MFN levels for the US (along with other demands)

17 drug companies just got this letter. We're now on to White House vs pharma in addition to White House vs auto OEMs, White House vs dropshippers, White House vs the construction and hospitality industry, etc.

Cmon man. ... Really? That's the argument? I need to read up on economics and philosophy?

Prevent being censored. Protection against seizure. Sending across borders. I get those... I guess I dont get the anti-fiat argument. Yes, dollars are taken on faith. But isnt Bitcoin too? ie, it only has value because someone on the other end of the transaction agrees it has value. right?

ha! i dont know if I followed it. but it made me laugh anyway.

So are you of the opinion that bitcoin still has value to the James Bond villains?

Totally. It's all about the competitive process nodes these days ... Or so I hear.

(I dont know what this means.)

MSFT blurb from a substack

I included it because of AWS, which has the same AI drivers as Azure, Oracle, or google cloud. But if we're being honest, NVDA is a N of 1

31.07.2025 17:16 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Actually maybe it should be 7 ...
NVDA
MSFT
AMZN
META
GOOGL
ORCL
AVGO

31.07.2025 15:13 β€” πŸ‘ 17    πŸ” 2    πŸ’¬ 7    πŸ“Œ 0

Wait. Who are the five? NVDA, MSFT, AMZN, META, and...? Google or Oracle?

Thanks! What is "hashpower securing settlement"? And why is that important?

That's an interesting thought. I assumed he'd want a true lackey. But yeah maybe.

Could be. Sounds like they're more split than usual.

I was with you up until the end. Why do you say "tariff uncertainty is disappearing"?

Okay. Educate me then. What use does Bitcoin have that stablecoins do not?

Ha! Nice. ... It's ironic. Bitcoin is now true "fiat".

Oooh good point. But can stablecoins be exchanged anonymously?

Yeah. And I like the idea of involving a state AG ... But I also wonder if just dumping the file on the public would actually be a good thing. There are probably thousands of names in there that didnt do anything wrong. Just thinking out loud.
