Bitcoin vs. Gold. 5 year chart. For people who swear by a 2 millennia history as investment precdent, it's awfully convenient to ignore higher timeframes. This is why you swap Gold for BTC, every single person who does it profits over a multi-year period.

You're blaming socialist failures on external meddling and ignoring the systemic flaws seen throughout history, even in cases with minimal foreign interference. In Venezuela, sanctions didn't start until after the 2013 collapse, directly attributed to adopting socialism. Price controls led to shortages, nationalizations caused capital flight, and politicians making the same promises as Mamdani and other socialists today in America misallocated $1T in oil revenues. GDP dropped 80%, with 1M%+ hyperinflation and mass emigration. Socialism destroyed the country and stole everyone's wealth. In Cuba, the embargo hurt, but before 1991 they received ~$65B in Soviet subsidies. Why did socialism fail? They eliminated property rights, removing incentives to invest, the state monopolized jobs, causing massive poverty. Income and rations were government controlled, so people fled to America. Since the 90s, extreme poverty has fallen by a factor of 4, almost all from capitalist or mixed-capitalist economies (considering China). But China hoards wealth from citizens, funneling it to the CCP with slave wages for their people. All socialism supporters ignore history and can't explain why it's never delivered mass prosperity, but instead gone in the opposite direction before foreign intervention. We don't need to justify capitalism's prosperity- it's evidenced by people fleeing other countries to America. Only morons in America, ignorant of why people escape communist countries, want it here.

The people who think a man should be assassinated for his opinions don’t think they should be fired for theirs? Make that one make sense. If the employer believes they’re tarnishing their reputation or their statements may create a hostile work environment- they should be fired.

I’m not a religious person. But I can easily see the parallel of him being our modern day Christ. You don’t need to be physically resurrected to live on forever and change people. They were both killed for the message they were spreading and others looking at it as a threat. The reason his death has affected me is because he never harmed a soul, was a husband, father, and friend to many. He empowered others to use their own brains to think rather than blindly accepting what politicians and algorithms feed us. He was a good person and out of all the bad people who lie, cheat, steal, murder, and try to use others for political or financial gain- he wasn’t one of them. He was very likely a future President, one who would’ve done great things. On top of all this, I could easily see myself being great friends with him and having wonderful conversations, debates, joking around, enjoying nature, travel, our families spending time together- all the things I do with the best friends in my life. All these come together for why we all feel this so personally. It’s not just some random person who was murdered. It’s like any one of us or our friends being murdered if they were to share their opinions.

I respect freedom of speech, but I wish celebration of violence held the same consequences as incitement since both result in the same thing.

You’re ignoring that BlackRock is one of the top shareholders in the six conglomerates that control over 90% of mainstream media in the U.S. They’re massive shareholders of networks, studios, and outlets like ABC, NBC, CNN, Fox News, & CBS. They’re the reason BTC FUD is dying.

In my opinion the smart move at this point is to reduce risk profile as the governance vote is now live and the proposal seems firm. Changes are theoretically possible- but we have to assume that the governance vote will be set in a result in stone in lieu of other guidance. I believe XMNs MiCA compliance positions it well for the future but the risk profile is like any other utility token. Extremely high risk with no performance guarantee. Success hinges on adoption. UTK holders should be putting very serious thought into whether they want to lock up their funds for 6 months or not based on their risk tolerance. It's impossible to know the right answer. Most utility token launches go the same. Large appreciation at launch followed by large corrections mainly by traders and bots who bought at launch. In this case there's also the potential of added sell pressure from UTK investors who convert and choose to remain liquid. Personally- I'll be looking at this as a swing trading opportunity at the start with very careful execution and will decide if I want to invest longer term at a later date- even then it will be a minor portfolio holding- the same way I treat every DeFi asset. BTC will always remain the majority holding. My advice is simple- treat it as a high-risk, unknown-reward scenario and allocate based on the risk you're willing to accept.

From the perspective of OG UTK holders- they’ve been sold the crypto payments dream through Utrust, xMoney, and MultiversX for years now. This XMN swap feels like another kick in the wallet when you’ve seen UTK tank over 90% from its peak, and now faced with dilution shrinking your ownership slice dramatically. The project's pitch is a "redenomination" for scalability, compliance, SUI integration, staking perks, and fresh liquidity to chase adoption. Sure, they lock most tokens to prevent dumps, and if payments explode, XMN could do very well- but that's a big if, given crypto rails account for barely any transaction volume vs. TradFi. Skepticism's fair and should be respected. Especially given that no transparent financials prove new investments value xMoney 10-30x lower, so why should investors risk more on promises? If trust is wanted, then we need to see far less dilution or transparent audited valuations to justify heavy dilution. If trust's gone, post-swap might be time to bail for Bitcoin. In BTC you have no dilution, remain liquid, with proven growth at ~100-150% CAGR. Promises rely on adoption, meaning heavy risk in the DeFi industry. Investors in UTK and soon to be XMN need to weigh facts over hype. The era of promise driven hype is over.

The challenge is that it's difficult for outsiders to propose a viable solution for xMoney without access to the platform's true EBITDA and the valuations offered to new equity investors. If transparency revealed that existing investors must accept 10-30x dilution to align with those valuations, it could be justifiable- but without it, the best I can offer are general methods to mitigate risk. I'd be incredibly impressed if they released public financials to substantiate the valuation, including details on the equity raised.

Here's what the #bitcoin chart actually looks like. ⤵️

Tariffs would drive up prices until profit margins and sales settle, create competition, and onshore manufacturing. Extra revenue & reduced spending would allow significant tax reductions- offsetting any inflationary impact to the point of being a net gain for consumers. Given our debt, I think it’s wise considering our massive consumer market and relatively minor export GDP. Other nations could drop their tariffs entirely to persuade us to lower ours, even if we don’t go to zero. We’ve stupidly neglected to capitalize on our consumer market for decades. The price of losing our manufacturing base and jobs should’ve been offset by tariffs for a long time.

Everything in America says "Made in China", almost nothing in China says "Made in America". One side makes all the money here and has everything to lose, and it's not the United States.
