GOLD PRICE ALERT:
Gold performed really well in the last few weeks due to the increase in demand and buy volume driven by macroeconomic and geopolitical factors like; anticipation of US Federal Reserve Rate Cuts. Gold surge from $3.343 price level to ATH at $3,707.45. Price dropped to 3,628 price level. Strong support at $3611. Currently, price is at 3,655. I am expecting to see price go lower. Possibilities are; If price breaks that support at $3,611 to a lower territory, we will have our next support at $3,577.
In the other hand, If price breaks $3,673 and hold to the upper territory, we might see more increment in price. But there is a higher possibility for price to drop.
$BTC has been showing both signs of strength and weakness. Price appreciated to about 117k price level, but we have seen a strong resistance here. If price fails to break that 124k price level, Bitcoin prices might drop down to $91k price level. Trade wisely!

The End of World War I and the Birth of a Fragile Peace: The 1919 Paris Peace Conference and the Treaty of Versailles
The conclusion of World War I was marked by intense negotiations, conflicting national interests, and profound consequences that shaped the course of the twentieth century. This pivotal episode in history was vividly explored through the detailed recounting of the 1919 Paris Peace Conference, culminating in the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. The episode underscores not only the political machinations behind the establishment of peace but also the enduring question of whether this peace ultimately paved the way for future conflict.

By June 1919, the world was on the threshold of a new era. After nearly five years of war, the Allied powers — primarily the United States, France, Great Britain, and Italy — prepared to formalize peace terms with Germany. The stakes couldn't be higher: the future of Europe, the stability of the post-war world order, and the fate of Germany itself hinged on these negotiations. The conference was animated by a sense of urgency, driven by fears that prolonged disunity among the victorious nations or the spread of Bolshevism might undermine their efforts.
The Key Players and Their Priorities
Each of the Allies had distinct goals influenced by their national interests:
France: Suffered immense destruction and invasion, prioritized security, and demanded severe punishment for Germany. French leaders behaved hawkishly, eager to weaken Germany as much as possible and secure reparations.
Great Britain: Focused on maintaining imperial strength and European balance of power. They sought to prevent Germany from becoming a threatening military power or commercial rival, yet wished to keep Germany as a potential market for British goods.
United States: Under Wilson’s leadership, aimed for a more lenient peace rooted in the principles of self-determination and free trade. They championed the League of Nations as a mechanism to ensure lasting security.
Germany: Led by Foreign Minister Graf von Brockdorff-Rantzau, the German delegation arrived with hopes of negotiating milder terms based on the earlier Wilsonian 14 Points. Germany sought to preserve its status as a great power, maintain territory, and avoid full acceptance of blame for the war.
Initial Encounters: The Germans Meet the Allies
Even before formal negotiations, the German delegation faced hostility. They were transported via a route through devastated regions and kept under strict house arrest. Their first official contact occurred on May 7, 1919, at the same hotel where the Prussian monarchy was once crowned—a symbolic reminder of Germany's lost empire.
During this tense meeting, Clemenceau delivered a curt speech, denying room for verbal negotiations. The Germans responded with a defiant speech by Brockdorff-Rantzau, denying German responsibility for the war and calling for peace based on Wilson’s principles. His emotional plea, citing the ongoing naval blockade and civilian deaths, fell flat with the Allied delegation, highlighting the widening cultural and political gap.
The Contents of the Treaty: Harsh Terms and Complex Clauses
The Treaty of Versailles was a lengthy and detailed document, consisting of 440 clauses that outlined the punishment for Germany and the framework for the new world order. The treaty's core provisions included:
Territorial Losses: Germany had to relinquish Alsace-Lorraine to France, parts of Posen and Silesia to Poland, and colonies overseas. These territorial concessions aimed to weaken Germany’s military and economic strength.
Disarmament: The German military was severely restricted—limited to 100,000 volunteers, with bans on tanks, submarines, aircraft, poison gas, and large warships. The Rhineland was demilitarized and occupied by Allied forces.
Reparations and Resources: Germany was compelled to pay reparations, including surrendering its merchant fleet, coal resources, and chemical stocks. Billions of marks in reparations were planned to compensate the Allies for war damages.
War Guilt Clause: Article 231, known as the “war guilt clause,” placed full responsibility for the war on Germany, serving as a legal basis for reparations. This clause was perceived by Germans as a moral affront and a national humiliation.
The League of Nations: The treaty established the League as an international peacekeeping body. However, Germany was excluded from membership until approved by the Allies, reflecting mistrust.
The German response was one of outrage and disbelief. Many Germans viewed the terms as a betrayal—especially since they believed their army had been "unbeaten in the field" and that the war had been provoked by external enemies. Demonstrations erupted nationwide, denouncing the treaty as a "dictated" and unjust document.
Germany’s attempt at diplomatic resistance included proposals to keep borders largely intact and reject war guilt, but these were insufficient for the Allies. The German delegation struggled with internal divisions; some officials, like Erzberger, advocated acceptance to prevent further chaos, while others, like Brockdorff-Rantzau, favored rejection and mobilizing public opinion against the treaty.
The Allies, especially Marshal Foch, recognized the fragility of peace and prepared plans for military action should Germany refuse to sign. The European powers' tone grew increasingly aggressive, framing the treaty as a moral imperative and a victory for justice, further alienating the Germans.
The Final Moments: Acceptance, Signing, and Aftermath
Under immense pressure, including a threat of invasion, Germany’s new government reluctantly accepted the treaty on June 20, 1919. The formal signing took place on June 28th at the Palace of Versailles—specifically in the Hall of Mirrors, site of Germany's 1871 victory over France.
The ceremony was deliberately theatrical and emotional, portrayed as a humiliating spectacle for the Germans. Hermann Müller and Johannes Bell signed on behalf of Germany, joining the Allied delegates. The event drew international attention and prompted celebrations across Europe, notably in France with a massive parade on July 14.
Aftershocks and Diverging Perspectives
The treaty's immediate aftermath was met with mixed reactions. Many Germans felt betrayed and humiliated, convinced that the peace terms doomed their nation's future. Demonstrations and protests spread, with some viewing the treaty as a "death sentence."
Within the victorious nations and among influential observers, opinions varied. Critics like British diplomat Jan Smuts and economist John Maynard Keynes predicted economic disaster and instability, while some military leaders, like Ferdinand Foch, believed the peace was too lenient.
Prominent German figures, including Chancellor Gustav Bauer, expressed outrage, and the German navy scuttled its ships rather than surrender them to the British—a symbolic act of defiance.
The Origins of Future Conflict: Historical Interpretations
Historically, the Treaty of Versailles was long blamed for sowing the seeds of World War II. Historians like Eric Hobsbawm argued it was fundamentally flawed and guaranteed future conflict. However, more recent scholarship suggests that the treaty, while harsh, was perhaps the best achievable compromise at the time given the divergent interests of the Allied nations.
Studies emphasize that the enforcement of the treaty and the political decisions of the subsequent years played a more critical role in leading to WWII than the treaty itself. Reparations were manageable, and Germany remained a significant economic and industrial power despite territorial reductions. The assumption that the treaty directly caused the outbreak of another war has been questioned, with some arguing that the failure to uphold the treaty’s provisions and the political shifts in the 1930s were more decisive.
The Churn of a New Order and Lingering Uncertainty
While peace had been achieved, the fragile peace was far from stable. The United States began drifting toward isolationism, and other Central Powers like Austria, Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire faced separate postwar settlements. Many unresolved questions remained, including Russia’s future, Middle Eastern borders, and the status of colonies and minorities.
The League of Nations symbolized a hopeful attempt at international cooperation, but its effectiveness was limited without full US participation. The aftermath was a period of continued upheaval, conflict, and migration, proving that the Treaty of Versailles was merely the beginning in the long search for a stable post-war order.
The 1919 Paris Peace Conference and the Treaty of Versailles marked both the end of one of world's deadliest wars and the start of an uncertain, often turbulent, new epoch. While it established a formal peace, the deep sense of betrayal, unresolved tensions, and flawed assumptions about human nature and international cooperation foreshadowed many of the conflicts that would follow. As history’s lens has shifted, scholars now see the treaty as a complex but perhaps necessary compromise—a testament to the challenges of peacebuilding in the wake of unprecedented destruction.

The Hidden World of Surveillance: How AI-Enabled License Plate Readers are Transforming Privacy and Security in America
In recent years, a pervasive network of AI-powered security cameras and license plate recognition systems has quietly become a staple in American cities, towns, and even private properties. These devices blend into the background—standing alongside trees and streetlights—yet they continuously log our vehicle movements, collecting data that is often accessed, shared, or misused without our knowledge.
The Unsuspected Dominance of Third-Party Data Brokers
Many Americans assume that local law enforcement owns and operates these surveillance systems. However, a closer look reveals a different reality: much of this infrastructure is owned by third-party startups, like Flock Safety, that lease their technology to police, private enterprises, and homeowners’ associations. Every vehicle that slips past a Flock Safety camera is logged into vast databases, which are then accessible to a variety of clients, often without direct oversight.
What’s even more alarming is that these databases are not exclusive to law enforcement; retail chains, private security entities, and data brokers aggregate your vehicle’s whereabouts alongside personal information—your shopping habits, in-store behavior, and demographic data. Some of this information is shared with government agencies, blurring the line between private data and state surveillance.
How License Plate Recognition Works—and Why It Matters
Flock Safety’s cameras deploy advanced AI models for license plate recognition (LPR), combining image segmentation to detect plates with optical character recognition (OCR) to read them. Once a plate is identified with high confidence, details such as timestamps, vehicle make, model, and cosmetic features are stored in centralized databases.
Law enforcement can query these databases to see every instance of their vehicle’s recognition—effectively turning your vehicle into a GPS tracker. Many police departments rely heavily on these systems, which can sometimes be integrated with private security data to monitor individuals extensively, often without judicial warrants.
The Risks of Overreach and Errors
The deployment of these systems is fraught with risks:
False positives and glitches: Errors occur routinely, such as misidentifying stolen vehicles or wrongly linking innocent individuals to crimes. For example, errors have falsely flagged people in various parts of the country, leading to innocent citizens being detained or targeted.
Uncontrolled misuse: Law enforcement can track out-of-state residents suspected of obtaining abortions, or monitor individuals for their social and political affiliations, often without a warrant.
Inclusion of inaccurate or malicious data: Startups like Flock Safety often operate under tight liability protections that shield them from lawsuits arising from mistakes, even when those mistakes lead to harm. Several instances exist where misreads or technical failures have caused families undue distress or financial liabilities, including massive settlement payouts.
The Silos of Proprietary Hardware and Proprietary Software
Most of these AI-enabled cameras are proprietary, locked in closed systems that prevent public scrutiny or security analysis. Manufacturers such as Hikvision and Verata produce hardware that is deliberately difficult to modify or analyze. Exploits, like malware that infiltrates Hikvision firmware, threaten to turn these devices into surveillance weapons that could be remotely controlled by malicious actors—including foreign governments or cybercriminals.
Furthermore, some companies embed backdoors or rely on outdated security protocols (like WPA2 Wi-Fi encryption), rendering their systems vulnerable to hacking. Researchers have demonstrated that with simple tools and some technical know-how, they could access live feeds or extract sensitive data from many improperly secured cameras—highlighting the widespread insecurity of infrastructure designed to protect us.
Can We Fight Back? Technical Defenses and Ethical Concerns
One proactive approach involves developing adversarial noise algorithms that can fool AI recognition models, making it difficult for license plate readers to identify vehicles accurately. By creating subtle, invisible patterns on license plates—through printable overlays or digital algorithms—citizens can potentially evade unwarranted tracking.
The creator of this technology has experimented by designing and testing noise patterns that disrupt recognition without overtly obstructing the license plate to human observers. These methods leverage cutting-edge AI models like YOLO (You Only Look Once) and custom neural networks, achieving results that could make vehicles “invisible” to AI-based surveillance tools.
However, such tactics raise legal and ethical questions. The legality of using adversarial noise in public spaces is uncertain—it may violate local laws or regulations, and could lead to unintended consequences like obstructing law enforcement’s ability to identify stolen vehicles or pursue criminal suspects.
The Broader Data Ecosystem and Its Pitfalls
Beyond surveillance cameras, every transaction, online activity, or social interaction adds to a growing digital footprint stored and sold by data brokers. Retailers like Walmart, Home Depot, or even online platforms collect extensive personal data—names, addresses, payment history, health information, and behavioral inferences—and often share this with law enforcement or third-party entities.
In the U.S., there are few comprehensive laws protecting this data. While the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) mandates explicit opt-in consent for data collection, American laws are largely voluntary or reactive, addressing breaches after harm occurs. As a result, personal data is exchanged freely in a shadow economy—one that fuels targeted advertising, political manipulation, and law enforcement inquiries.
International Models and the Future of Privacy
Contrast the U.S. approach with regions like the EU, Japan, or Canada, where personal data privacy is formally recognized as a human right. These jurisdictions restrict the use and sharing of personal information unless users explicitly consent, providing stronger safeguards against unwarranted surveillance.
Unfortunately, legislative efforts within the U.S. have lagged, and enforcement agencies remain heavily influenced by industry lobbying, as evidenced by the hundreds of millions of dollars spent on lobbying by startups like Flock Safety. This influence hampers meaningful regulation or oversight, leaving citizens vulnerable.
The Call for Transparency, Security, and Ethical Use
Given the complex technical vulnerabilities—from insecure hardware to unencrypted data storage—there is an urgent need for transparency. Open-source designs, peer-reviewed security audits, and open hardware initiatives could promote safer and more accountable surveillance systems.
Citizen-led technical research and advocacy can push manufacturers and policymakers toward more ethical practices. For example, developing and deploying open hardware license plate readers, adopting stronger security protocols, and introducing legal frameworks that limit surveillance scope could safeguard individual rights.
Conclusion: Protecting Our Rights in a Surveillance-Driven Future
The proliferation of AI-enhanced license plate readers and pervasive tracking systems reflects a societal shift toward ubiquitous surveillance. While these tools can aid law enforcement and improve safety, their misuse and inherent vulnerabilities pose significant risks to personal privacy, civil liberties, and security.
Proactive technical defenses, stronger legal protections, and increased transparency are essential to maintaining a balance between security and privacy. Citizens, technologists, and legislators must collaborate to develop safeguards that prevent abuse while harnessing technology for societal benefit—before the entire process becomes irreversibly invasive.
This might be the least absurd Game Key Card for Nintendo Switch 2. It's only $40, which makes it quite cheap, and the game won't fit on a full-fledged Cartridge anyway... I don't plan on getting a Switch 2 anytime soon, but this'd be a game I'm willing to get for it if I did! #gaming
The Evolution of Nintendo Switch Game Packaging: A Closer Look at Key Cards and Their Implications
In recent discussions surrounding the Nintendo Switch and its upcoming successor, the topic of game storage formats has become increasingly prominent. Specifically, the usage of game key cards has drawn both criticism and praise from gamers and industry observers alike. While these cards are often seen as a compromise measure, especially for larger titles, there is a nuanced conversation about their practicality, affordability, and impact on game quality.
Traditionally, physical games for consoles like the Nintendo Switch have come in the form of cartridges that store game data directly. However, with the increasing size of modern titles—many exceeding the 64 GB cartridge limit—third-party publishers and developers have resorted to alternative formats such as game key cards.
These key cards serve as digital licenses that can be redeemed for access to the game, often distributed at a lower price point or as a more flexible solution for storage constraints. Despite some gamers’ preference for traditional physical media, key cards are sometimes the only viable way to release especially large games on the platform.
When Key Cards Make Sense: The Case of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade
Not all key card releases are viewed equally. There’s a notable appreciation in some quarters for how certain titles are handled. For instance, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade is slated to be released on a game key card priced at just $40—a significantly lower cost compared to typical retail prices.
This release is considered fair and logical because the game cannot fit onto a standard 64 GB cartridge without compromising quality. When a game’s size exceeds the cartridge’s capacity, developers face a critical challenge: should they reduce the quality and resolution to shrink the file size, or accept a different distribution method? The consensus among many fans and industry insiders is that maintaining game quality should take precedence over forcing a larger game onto limited physical media.
The Balance Between Quality and Storage Constraints
The discussion often touches on whether further optimization could allow large games to be squeezed into smaller formats. Developers like CD Projekt Red have demonstrated that it’s possible—for example, Cyberpunk 2077 reportedly fits onto a Nintendo Switch 2 cartridge. However, these are cases of meticulous optimization by experienced teams, and not all developers can or should undertake such extensive adjustments.
In most scenarios, reducing a game’s size too aggressively risks diminishing graphics quality, resolution, and overall performance. Therefore, releasing a large game via key card—perhaps with added value like deluxe artwork covers or bonus items—can be a preferable solution when physical constraints are an issue.
Consumer-Friendly Approaches and Industry Practices
One of the most commendable aspects of recent key card releases is their consumer-friendly approach. For Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, the package includes a reversible artwork cover and even a coveted Magic: The Gathering Final Fantasy booster card, valued at approximately $6 or $7. Such extras add perceived value and make the purchase more attractive.
By contrast, some publishers like Atlas and Sega have released Persona 3 Reload on a game key card at full price ($60), despite the game being capable of fitting on a standard cartridge. These releases often lack additional content or incentives, which leads to criticism about perceived value and fairness.
Pricepoint considerations are crucial. When a game cannot fit onto a cartridge, a premium price might be justified; however, when large titles are released on key cards that could otherwise be physical cartridges, many fans argue for more reasonable pricing. For example, reports suggest that Resident Evil Requiem for the Switch 2 might be priced $10 lower than other versions, reflecting a more fair and consumer-centric approach.
The Future of Game Packaging on Nintendo Switch and Beyond
Looking ahead, industry observers hope that publishers will adopt more transparent and fair strategies. When games are too large to fit on traditional cartridges, they should either be priced accordingly, include enticing extras, or opt for digital or physical releases that do not compromise quality.
Square Enix’s recent approach with Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade sets a positive precedent in this regard. While there remains frustration over publishers releasing smaller-sized titles on game key cards when they could include them in physical cartridges, the overall trend towards more consumer-friendly releases is promising.
Final Thoughts
The evolution of game storage formats reflects ongoing technological and logistical challenges faced by the industry. When handled thoughtfully, key cards can serve as an effective, affordable, and fair solution for large game releases, provided developers and publishers prioritize quality and value.
As the Nintendo Switch 2 and subsequent consoles develop, it’s crucial that the industry continues to prioritize consumer interests—whether through fair pricing, value-rich packaging, or embracing new formats that balance size constraints with high-quality gameplay.

The Mysterious Case of the Dead Body in a Tesla: An Investigation into a Hollywood Tragedy
In an astonishing turn of events that has captivated the internet and law enforcement alike, a body was discovered inside a Tesla in Hollywood, Los Angeles. What initially appeared to be a routine impound lot investigation quickly morphed into a complex web of possible criminal activity, digital sleuthing, and breathtaking speculation.
On September 9th, authorities responded to a peculiar odor emanating from a vehicle in an impound lot on Mansfield Avenue. The vehicle, which belonged to a musician known as D4 VD—stylized as David—was found to contain a decomposed body. The medical examiner identified the victim as a 15-year-old girl named Celeste Rivas Hernandez, who had been missing for approximately two years, last seen in Lake Elenor.
The victim's body was recovered from unlikely locations within the car, including the trunk and even the frunk. Pieces of the body were discovered over multiple days, with only partial remains recovered, complicating efforts to confirm ethnicity and exact age post-mortem. Despite the decomposition, a distinguishing tattoo reading “sh” was identified on her right index finger, providing a crucial link in the unfolding mystery.
Celeste Hernandez was last reported missing in April 2022 at the age of 13. Her disappearance prompted a missing person alert, and her case garnered attention when her poster surfaced during the investigation. The circumstances quickly grew darker as online investigators, social media sleuths, and community members began piecing together evidence that connected the victim to the musician David.
David, who was on tour at the time of the discovery, has not yet been publicly detained or charged. Law enforcement sources indicate that he is cooperating fully with investigators; however, the fact that the Tesla was registered in his name raises serious questions. The car's location—an ordinary, publicly accessible impound lot—implies that, whether intentionally or inadvertently, the vehicle was left in a manner that enabled the body to be discovered by passersby after sitting unnoticed for two days.
As details emerged, internet detectives began scrutinizing David's online presence. Leaked Discord messages, streaming clips, and social media posts seemed to suggest a disturbing connection between David and Celeste. Notably, conversations surfaced referencing a girl named Celeste, with some messages implying a romantic relationship. Some of these exchanges hinted at the girl being a minor—raising legal and ethical alarms.
Investigators also unearthed a leaked song titled "Celeste," recorded in December 2023, featuring lyrics that seemingly corresponded with her name and possibly her story. Lines such as, "Oh, Celeste, the girl with my name tattooed on her chest," and references to obsession and loss, fueled speculation that David's music and personal life may have intertwined with this tragic situation.
Further, some social media streams depicted David and a young girl—believed to be Celeste—together on live broadcasts. Videos showed them apparently streaming simultaneously, with requests from viewers for the girl to respond, and conversations about deleting VODs shortly after. The suspicious timing and mutual online activity intensified suspicions, especially as the girl appeared significantly younger than David.
While these digital clues paint a disturbing picture, law enforcement urges caution. Much of the evidence is circumstantial; nothing has been conclusively proven in a court of law. Nevertheless, the mounting circumstantial evidence—such as matching tattoos, online interactions, and the connection to the missing girl—raises serious concerns about possible criminal behavior, including the potential for child exploitation.
The case has also triggered social media backlash, with fans and critics alike questioning David’s motives. Sponsorships, including Hollister, have distanced themselves, reflecting the damage to his reputation. As the investigation continues, upcoming concert cancellations suggest the music community is distancing itself from the controversy.
One speculative theory proposed by close observers involves motive related to the risks of a relationship with a minor. The possibility of pregnancy, or the fear of exposure of an illegal relationship, has been floated as a potential motive. Some suggest that David, an aspiring star with much to lose, might have sought to conceal a relationship that could ruin his career.
There are also questions about the deliberate or accidental nature of the girl's death. If he indeed was involved, the question then becomes whether the death was intentional or a tragic consequence of mishandling. The manner of disposing of a body in a vehicle registered to him—with the vehicle potentially being sold or transferred—further complicates the scenario.
Law enforcement, including the LAPD and possibly the FBI, are under increasing pressure to unravel this tangled story. They are examining the vehicle's footage, cross-referencing communications, and investigating the social media activity of David and the victim. Despite the volume of online evidence, verified facts remain scarce, and authorities emphasize the presumption of innocence until proven guilty.
The case continues to develop as more evidence surfaces. Internet sleuths, however, have arguably advanced the investigation far beyond initial law enforcement efforts, compiling timelines, messages, and forensic clues with alarming speed.
This case underscores the dangers of rapid online speculation, yet it also highlights the importance of community vigilance in uncovering truths. The tragic death of Celeste Hernandez serves as a stark reminder of vulnerabilities and the devastating consequences of unchecked relationships involving minors.
As the legal process unfolds, the world watches—hoping for clarity and justice. Whether David will ultimately be held responsible or proved innocent remains to be seen, but what is undeniable is that this is one of the most shocking, perplexing true crime cases of the year.

The Federal Reserve's Decision: Catalyst for Crypto Boom or Potential Market Crash?
On September 17, the Federal Reserve made a move that sent ripples through financial markets worldwide. By lowering interest rates by 25 basis points, marking the first cut of 2025, the Fed signaled an important shift in monetary policy. But beneath this seemingly straightforward decision lies a complex set of implications that could either propel Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies to new heights or plunge markets into turmoil.
The Immediate Market Reaction: Volatility and Divergence
The Fed’s decision was met with immediate volatility across asset classes. While traditional markets displayed mixed reactions—Dow Jones closing higher, yet NASDAQ and S&P 500 dipping—the reaction in gold and crypto was more pronounced. Gold surged to nearly $3,700 per ounce, reflecting investor flight to safety amid declining real yields. Meanwhile, Bitcoin demonstrated its characteristic volatility: its price shot upward, then dipped, moved sideways, and ultimately ended close to unchanged for the day, hovering near the crucial $118,000 level.
This turbulent response underscores the uncertainty investors face in digesting the implications of the Fed's decision. Market participants are grappling with conflicting signals: a nod to easing monetary policy versus underlying inflation concerns, all within a fragile macroeconomic environment.
A key piece of this puzzle is the Fed’s updated dot plot—a forecast reflecting the individual expectations of its 19 policymakers. The median projection indicates that two more 25 basis point rate cuts are expected before the end of 2025. However, the dot plot also shows a lack of consensus: some officials foresee more reductions, while others anticipate fewer or none. This splits suggest that future policy remains highly uncertain, hinging heavily on upcoming economic data.
This ambiguity fuels market volatility. While most traders are pricing in an aggressive easing cycle—over 70% probabilities of rate cuts in October and December—some veteran analysts like Bank of America warn that the Fed may hold off until 2026, especially if stagflation persists. The divergent forecasts reflect the Fed’s tightrope walk: stimulating growth without igniting inflation, all while managing persistent economic headwinds.
Contrasting Views: Bullish Optimism vs. Cautious Realism
This environment of uncertainty has sparked debate among investors and analysts about the future trajectory of cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin.
Proponents argue that the recent Fed easing cycle could unleash a fresh wave of liquidity into the markets, traditionally favoring risk-on assets such as stocks and crypto. Historically, rate reductions tend to weaken the US dollar, prompting investors to seek alternative stores of value—most notably, Bitcoin. This dynamic was vividly seen during the 2020-2021 cycle, where Bitcoin's price surged over 1,000% amidst monetary easing.
Additionally, institutional investors are returning to Bitcoin in significant ways. Major players like Goldman Sachs are acquiring large stakes in Bitcoin ETFs, signaling serious institutional confidence. This influx of capital is viewed as a robust foundation for higher prices, with optimistic forecasts from industry leaders like Marshall Beard (Gemini) and Tom Lee (Fundstrat) projecting Bitcoin reaching $150,000 or even $200,000 by the end of the year.
Moreover, the possibility of an altcoin season is on the horizon, as Bitcoin stabilizes and institutions funnel more capital into the broader crypto ecosystem. Metrics like the altcoin season index have already surged, indicating increased market enthusiasm beyond Bitcoin.
However, there are cautionary flags that temper these bullish narratives. A significant concern is the high correlation of Bitcoin with the NASDAQ, reaching almost 87%. This means Bitcoin is increasingly behaving like a tech stock—vulnerable to broader market corrections—thus undermining its narrative as a safe haven or uncorrelated asset.
Another major risk is stagflation—a scenario in which economic growth stalls while inflation remains stubbornly high. In such an environment, the Fed faces a dilemma: lowering rates could exacerbate inflation, but maintaining high rates risks causing a recession or a collapse in the job market. If stagflation takes hold, corporate profits could decline sharply, and riskiest assets like crypto could suffer significant losses.
Adding to the complexity are black swan risks: the enormous $300 trillion global debt burden, and within crypto, the rise of Bitcoin treasury companies that borrow dollars to buy Bitcoin. A downward spiral triggered by mass liquidation or debt defaults could accelerate declines, especially if these companies are forced to sell off assets en masse.
The Road Ahead: Opportunities and Cautions
Despite these risks, the consensus is that the current environment offers a favorable tailwind for crypto, especially Bitcoin. Historically, rate cuts have boosted Bitcoin prices, and the swelling institutional interest adds a layer of legitimacy and stability. Several prominent analysts forecast prices exceeding $150,000 or even $200,000 by year-end, driven by this liquidity infusion.
Yet, the landscape remains treacherous. The increased correlation with traditional equities suggests that Bitcoin's performance will increasingly mirror broader economic trends. Any downturn in the stock market, especially amid stagflation fears, could drag crypto prices southward.
Volatility will likely remain a defining feature in the coming months, making risk management crucial for investors. The key takeaway is to stay attentive to macroeconomic signals, technical indicators, and fundamental developments, as the interplay between these factors will determine the market’s direction.
The Fed’s decision to ease monetary policy has opened the door for potential gains in Bitcoin and the broader crypto market, driven by liquidity and institutional adoption. However, the complexity of the macro environment—risks of stagflation, high correlations with stocks, and global debt—means that surprises cannot be ruled out.
While the outlook overwhelmingly favors the bullish case in the near term, investors should remain cautious and prepared for heightened volatility. Strategic risk management, coupled with attentive market analysis, will be crucial in navigating this uncertain but potentially lucrative period for crypto.
Stay tuned to updates and expert analyses as macroeconomic conditions continue to evolve.

The Rise, Challenges, and Future of XRP: A Deep Dive
Introduction: Revolutionizing Money Transfers
Traditional financial systems often suffer from sluggishness and high fees. Sending money across borders can take days and incur hefty charges, creating a notable inconvenience for consumers and businesses alike. Imagine a world where transferring funds is as quick and effortless as sending an email—that's the vision behind XRP. Created as a solution to these issues, XRP promises fast, affordable, and eco-friendly digital transactions.
XRP serves as the native asset of the XRP Ledger, a blockchain launched in 2012 by a team of engineers seeking a more efficient alternative to Bitcoin. Unlike many cryptocurrencies that rely on energy-intensive proof-of-work mechanisms, the XRP Ledger employs a network of independent validators, enabling quick transaction settlement times—typically about three to five seconds—and minuscule transaction fees, often less than a cent.
One of XRP’s well-known attributes is its predetermined supply. All 100 billion XRP tokens were created at the network’s inception, a process known as being “pre-minted.” This contrasts with Bitcoin’s mining-based issuance, which extends until approximately 2140. Supporters contend that this fixed supply enhances predictability and efficiency, while critics argue that significant holdings by founders and Ripple—the company behind XRP—raise concerns about centralization.
While XRP is a decentralized digital asset, Ripple Inc., a private technology firm, played a pivotal role in its development. After the XRP Ledger’s creation, some of its founders teamed up with entrepreneur Chris Larsen to establish OpenCoin, which subsequently rebranded as Ripple. The company received a large allocation of XRP tokens to fund development efforts and aimed to build solutions tailored for banks and payment providers.
It's important to distinguish between Ripple and XRP: Ripple is a private corporation developing blockchain-based payment solutions, while XRP is an open-source digital currency operating on the XRP Ledger. Ripple’s involvement in the network does not equate to control; even if Ripple were to cease operations, the ledger and XRP would continue functioning independently.
The Community and Controversies
Supporters emphasize XRP’s speed and low transaction costs as the key advantages for facilitating cross-border payments. These features position XRP as a formidable player in the financial technology space, especially for institutions seeking efficient international transactions.
However, criticisms persist—particularly regarding decentralization. Many argue that Ripple’s substantial early holdings of XRP imply centralized control, which runs counter to the core ethos of decentralization in cryptocurrency. This tension fuels ongoing debates within the crypto community about XRP’s true level of decentralization and trustworthiness.
The Legal Battle and Its Impact
The most significant recent challenge to XRP has been a legal dispute initiated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 2020. The SEC claimed that XRP was being sold as an unregistered security, a classification that could have serious implications for its legitimacy and trading.
Ripple argued that XRP is a currency accessible to anyone and not a security, leading to a protracted legal saga. The case reached a critical turning point in 2023 when a U.S. court ruled that XRP sold on public exchanges does not constitute a security. This landmark decision was finalized in August 2025 when the SEC officially closed the case, providing XRP with much-needed legal clarity in the United States.
A New Era for XRP
With legal uncertainties eased, XRP appears poised for rejuvenation. Major developments include:
Mastercard’s XRP Debit Card: Backed by a $75 million fund, it allows users to spend XRP at merchants worldwide, bridging crypto with everyday commerce.
Ripple’s Stablecoin (RLUSD): Nearly doubling in circulation within a quarter, RLUSD enhances the ecosystem with a stable digital asset.
Tokenization of Real-World Assets: The XRP Ledger now supports the issuance of tokenized assets worth over $130 million, expanding its application scope.
Ethereum-Compatible Sidechain: The introduction of a sidechain compatible with Ethereum opens doors for developers, enabling a broader array of decentralized applications and integrations.
Conclusion: The Resilient Vision
Despite facing legal challenges, questions of decentralization, and market volatility, XRP remains one of the top cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. Its core mission—to simplify and accelerate cross-border money transfers—remains unwavering.
As the legal landscape clarifies and adoption grows, XRP is shifting into a new chapter. The community's continued support and the network’s expanding utility suggest that its initial vision of making money transfer as seamless as sending an email may finally be within reach.
Stay tuned for future developments as XRP continues to evolve and redefine global financial transactions.

Virtual reality could indeed be a game-changer, creating infinite worlds to explore without leaving Earth. But physical expansion to Mars drives real innovation—think resource tech and survival systems. Both futures are exciting to imagine
I'm right there with you—imagining these futures is exhilarating! Virtual worlds or Martian colonies, both push us to rethink what's possible. The next decade will blow our minds with how fast these ideas become reality
Absolutely, the pace of change is mind-blowing! In 10-20 years, we’ll likely see Martian outposts and virtual worlds so real they rival reality. Exponential tech growth will turn sci-fi into everyday life
Totally, we're already in a sci-fi era! Elon Musk's vision for moon stations is just the start—lunar outposts could be stepping stones to Mars by 2030. The future is unfolding right now, and it's thrilling to witness
True, the Moon is a critical stepping stone. It's taking longer than expected, but once we nail reusable tech and lunar bases, Mars will be within reach by the 2030s. Exponential progress is accelerating every year
Absolutely, the early Mars colonies will face brutal challenges—harsh environment, isolation, and limited resources. But each mission will iterate and improve, turning scarcity into abundance with tech breakthroughs. Exponential progress will make it viable faster than we think
Imagine for a moment you were born in the year 1900. At age 14, World War I breaks out, ending at age 18, leaving 22 million dead.
Shortly after, a global pandemic appears, the Spanish flu, which kills 50 million people. And you survive, at 20 years.
At 29, you survive the global economic crisis that starts with the fall of the New York Stock Exchange, causing inflation, unemployment and hunger.
At age 33, Nazism comes to power.
When you're 39, World War II starts and ends when you're 45, with 60 million dead.
At 52 years old, the Korean War begins.
When you're 64 years old, the Vietnam War starts and ends when you're 75.
Then a person born in 1985 thinks that their grandparents have no idea how difficult life is, not knowing that they have survived several wars and disasters.
Facts but I don't believe much of that was front and center like it is today. People worry about way too much crap these days because it's plastered on news, online etc.
I think the point of it is that the young people today haven't gone through the kind of struggle their grandparents went through in the west. The worst thing they have to go throigh is there pronouns being misunderstood...
You're absolutely right. I was exaggerating and the plastered in your face endless wars that are going on today are bring on new internal and political conflict amongst those countries that aren't directly effected.
There are a lot of problems in today's world... and perhaps the world is always like that on different levels

LeoStrategy is branching out into the cosmos. Starting with Base
This expansion will bring LSTR & SURGE to the Base blockchain and create a bridge between Base and Hive-Engine
These new pairs and pools will create volatility which will be harvested by LeoStrategy for profits. Profits that purchase LEO & add LEO Per Share to LSTR holders on a daily basis
We know many of you have waited eagerly for the Base Bridge to go live. Set a reminder to come back to @leostrategy's blog feed in ~4 hours and you will see a hardcore update about everything we've been building in the background (including a sneak peek at our already profitable Hive-Engine volatility harvesting strategy)
We appreciate your patience while we ensure the Market Makers are in perfect working order prior to launching on Base. This is an essential step to the profitability of LeoStrategy and our ability to acquire as much $LEO as possible
It would be good to cover why there has been a divergence from the published schedule of migrating SURGE to base between September 11-17. That schedule was defined in the post "SURGE and LSTR on Base | The Details You Need to Know"
There is language in the post that communicates an urgent time pressure, such as:
" In this post, we'll answer some questions we've seen related to the upcoming launch and also give you critical details about SURGE's presale that you NEED TO KNOW if you are a SURGE holder and/or interested in buying more SURGE before the presale is gone forever."
The time limit communicated in the referenced post has been exceeded by two days now. That discrepancy should be explained.

GOLD PRICE ALERT:
Gold performed really well in the last few weeks due to the increase in demand and buy volume driven by macroeconomic and geopolitical factors like; anticipation of US Federal Reserve Rate Cuts. Gold surge from $3.343 price level to ATH at $3,707.45. Price dropped to 3,628 price level. Strong support at $3611. Currently, price is at 3,655. I am expecting to see price go lower. Possibilities are; If price breaks that support at $3,611 to a lower territory, we will have our next support at $3,577.
In the other hand, If price breaks $3,673 and hold to the upper territory, we might see more increment in price. But there is a higher possibility for price to drop.
Since 1972, a total of 27 leap seconds have been inserted.

Good morning guys ☺️
Easy roads don't create expert drivers.
Calm seas don't build skilled sailors.
Clear skies don't produce proficient pilots.
A life without challenges doesn't develop strength in a person.
Never jump in before your trade is ready.
Mark your levels, then let price come to you.
Every time you enter too early, you sacrifice execution, and those mistakes compound into future losses.
Master the art of waiting.
Respect your plan.

!summarize
Part 1/17:
The End of World War I and the Birth of a Fragile Peace: The 1919 Paris Peace Conference and the Treaty of Versailles
The conclusion of World War I was marked by intense negotiations, conflicting national interests, and profound consequences that shaped the course of the twentieth century. This pivotal episode in history was vividly explored through the detailed recounting of the 1919 Paris Peace Conference, culminating in the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. The episode underscores not only the political machinations behind the establishment of peace but also the enduring question of whether this peace ultimately paved the way for future conflict.
Recognizing Support and the Challenges of War History
Part 2/17:
The episode begins with a heartfelt acknowledgment of supporters on Patreon and YouTube who enable the creation of such in-depth content. It emphasizes that producing high-quality historical narratives requires extensive effort—around 100 hours per episode—involving research, archival research, and the creation of maps and animations. Supporters are also invited to engage via a new Discord community, suggesting a focus on fostering a dedicated, interactive community as history enthusiasts explore the complexities of 1919 and beyond.
The Stakes at the Paris Peace Conference
Part 3/17:
By June 1919, the world was on the threshold of a new era. After nearly five years of war, the Allied powers — primarily the United States, France, Great Britain, and Italy — prepared to formalize peace terms with Germany. The stakes couldn't be higher: the future of Europe, the stability of the post-war world order, and the fate of Germany itself hinged on these negotiations. The conference was animated by a sense of urgency, driven by fears that prolonged disunity among the victorious nations or the spread of Bolshevism might undermine their efforts.
The Key Players and Their Priorities
Each of the Allies had distinct goals influenced by their national interests:
Part 4/17:
France: Suffered immense destruction and invasion, prioritized security, and demanded severe punishment for Germany. French leaders behaved hawkishly, eager to weaken Germany as much as possible and secure reparations.
Great Britain: Focused on maintaining imperial strength and European balance of power. They sought to prevent Germany from becoming a threatening military power or commercial rival, yet wished to keep Germany as a potential market for British goods.
United States: Under Wilson’s leadership, aimed for a more lenient peace rooted in the principles of self-determination and free trade. They championed the League of Nations as a mechanism to ensure lasting security.
Part 5/17:
Initial Encounters: The Germans Meet the Allies
Even before formal negotiations, the German delegation faced hostility. They were transported via a route through devastated regions and kept under strict house arrest. Their first official contact occurred on May 7, 1919, at the same hotel where the Prussian monarchy was once crowned—a symbolic reminder of Germany's lost empire.
Part 6/17:
During this tense meeting, Clemenceau delivered a curt speech, denying room for verbal negotiations. The Germans responded with a defiant speech by Brockdorff-Rantzau, denying German responsibility for the war and calling for peace based on Wilson’s principles. His emotional plea, citing the ongoing naval blockade and civilian deaths, fell flat with the Allied delegation, highlighting the widening cultural and political gap.
The Contents of the Treaty: Harsh Terms and Complex Clauses
The Treaty of Versailles was a lengthy and detailed document, consisting of 440 clauses that outlined the punishment for Germany and the framework for the new world order. The treaty's core provisions included:
Part 7/17:
Territorial Losses: Germany had to relinquish Alsace-Lorraine to France, parts of Posen and Silesia to Poland, and colonies overseas. These territorial concessions aimed to weaken Germany’s military and economic strength.
Disarmament: The German military was severely restricted—limited to 100,000 volunteers, with bans on tanks, submarines, aircraft, poison gas, and large warships. The Rhineland was demilitarized and occupied by Allied forces.
Reparations and Resources: Germany was compelled to pay reparations, including surrendering its merchant fleet, coal resources, and chemical stocks. Billions of marks in reparations were planned to compensate the Allies for war damages.
Part 8/17:
War Guilt Clause: Article 231, known as the “war guilt clause,” placed full responsibility for the war on Germany, serving as a legal basis for reparations. This clause was perceived by Germans as a moral affront and a national humiliation.
The League of Nations: The treaty established the League as an international peacekeeping body. However, Germany was excluded from membership until approved by the Allies, reflecting mistrust.
German Reactions and the Path to Rejection
Part 9/17:
The German response was one of outrage and disbelief. Many Germans viewed the terms as a betrayal—especially since they believed their army had been "unbeaten in the field" and that the war had been provoked by external enemies. Demonstrations erupted nationwide, denouncing the treaty as a "dictated" and unjust document.
Germany’s attempt at diplomatic resistance included proposals to keep borders largely intact and reject war guilt, but these were insufficient for the Allies. The German delegation struggled with internal divisions; some officials, like Erzberger, advocated acceptance to prevent further chaos, while others, like Brockdorff-Rantzau, favored rejection and mobilizing public opinion against the treaty.
Part 10/17:
The Allies, especially Marshal Foch, recognized the fragility of peace and prepared plans for military action should Germany refuse to sign. The European powers' tone grew increasingly aggressive, framing the treaty as a moral imperative and a victory for justice, further alienating the Germans.
The Final Moments: Acceptance, Signing, and Aftermath
Under immense pressure, including a threat of invasion, Germany’s new government reluctantly accepted the treaty on June 20, 1919. The formal signing took place on June 28th at the Palace of Versailles—specifically in the Hall of Mirrors, site of Germany's 1871 victory over France.
Part 11/17:
The ceremony was deliberately theatrical and emotional, portrayed as a humiliating spectacle for the Germans. Hermann Müller and Johannes Bell signed on behalf of Germany, joining the Allied delegates. The event drew international attention and prompted celebrations across Europe, notably in France with a massive parade on July 14.

The treaty's immediate aftermath was met with mixed reactions. Many Germans felt betrayed and humiliated, convinced that the peace terms doomed their nation's future. Demonstrations and protests spread, with some viewing the treaty as a "death sentence."
Part 12/17:
Within the victorious nations and among influential observers, opinions varied. Critics like British diplomat Jan Smuts and economist John Maynard Keynes predicted economic disaster and instability, while some military leaders, like Ferdinand Foch, believed the peace was too lenient.
Prominent German figures, including Chancellor Gustav Bauer, expressed outrage, and the German navy scuttled its ships rather than surrender them to the British—a symbolic act of defiance.
The Origins of Future Conflict: Historical Interpretations
Part 13/17:
Historically, the Treaty of Versailles was long blamed for sowing the seeds of World War II. Historians like Eric Hobsbawm argued it was fundamentally flawed and guaranteed future conflict. However, more recent scholarship suggests that the treaty, while harsh, was perhaps the best achievable compromise at the time given the divergent interests of the Allied nations.
Part 14/17:
Studies emphasize that the enforcement of the treaty and the political decisions of the subsequent years played a more critical role in leading to WWII than the treaty itself. Reparations were manageable, and Germany remained a significant economic and industrial power despite territorial reductions. The assumption that the treaty directly caused the outbreak of another war has been questioned, with some arguing that the failure to uphold the treaty’s provisions and the political shifts in the 1930s were more decisive.
The Churn of a New Order and Lingering Uncertainty
Part 15/17:
While peace had been achieved, the fragile peace was far from stable. The United States began drifting toward isolationism, and other Central Powers like Austria, Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire faced separate postwar settlements. Many unresolved questions remained, including Russia’s future, Middle Eastern borders, and the status of colonies and minorities.
The League of Nations symbolized a hopeful attempt at international cooperation, but its effectiveness was limited without full US participation. The aftermath was a period of continued upheaval, conflict, and migration, proving that the Treaty of Versailles was merely the beginning in the long search for a stable post-war order.
Conclusion
Part 16/17:
The 1919 Paris Peace Conference and the Treaty of Versailles marked both the end of one of world's deadliest wars and the start of an uncertain, often turbulent, new epoch. While it established a formal peace, the deep sense of betrayal, unresolved tensions, and flawed assumptions about human nature and international cooperation foreshadowed many of the conflicts that would follow. As history’s lens has shifted, scholars now see the treaty as a complex but perhaps necessary compromise—a testament to the challenges of peacebuilding in the wake of unprecedented destruction.

Part 1/14:
The Hidden World of Surveillance: How AI-Enabled License Plate Readers are Transforming Privacy and Security in America
In recent years, a pervasive network of AI-powered security cameras and license plate recognition systems has quietly become a staple in American cities, towns, and even private properties. These devices blend into the background—standing alongside trees and streetlights—yet they continuously log our vehicle movements, collecting data that is often accessed, shared, or misused without our knowledge.
The Unsuspected Dominance of Third-Party Data Brokers
Part 2/14:
Many Americans assume that local law enforcement owns and operates these surveillance systems. However, a closer look reveals a different reality: much of this infrastructure is owned by third-party startups, like Flock Safety, that lease their technology to police, private enterprises, and homeowners’ associations. Every vehicle that slips past a Flock Safety camera is logged into vast databases, which are then accessible to a variety of clients, often without direct oversight.
Part 3/14:
What’s even more alarming is that these databases are not exclusive to law enforcement; retail chains, private security entities, and data brokers aggregate your vehicle’s whereabouts alongside personal information—your shopping habits, in-store behavior, and demographic data. Some of this information is shared with government agencies, blurring the line between private data and state surveillance.
How License Plate Recognition Works—and Why It Matters
Part 4/14:
Flock Safety’s cameras deploy advanced AI models for license plate recognition (LPR), combining image segmentation to detect plates with optical character recognition (OCR) to read them. Once a plate is identified with high confidence, details such as timestamps, vehicle make, model, and cosmetic features are stored in centralized databases.
Law enforcement can query these databases to see every instance of their vehicle’s recognition—effectively turning your vehicle into a GPS tracker. Many police departments rely heavily on these systems, which can sometimes be integrated with private security data to monitor individuals extensively, often without judicial warrants.
The Risks of Overreach and Errors
The deployment of these systems is fraught with risks:
Part 5/14:
False positives and glitches: Errors occur routinely, such as misidentifying stolen vehicles or wrongly linking innocent individuals to crimes. For example, errors have falsely flagged people in various parts of the country, leading to innocent citizens being detained or targeted.
Uncontrolled misuse: Law enforcement can track out-of-state residents suspected of obtaining abortions, or monitor individuals for their social and political affiliations, often without a warrant.
Part 6/14:
The Silos of Proprietary Hardware and Proprietary Software
Part 7/14:
Most of these AI-enabled cameras are proprietary, locked in closed systems that prevent public scrutiny or security analysis. Manufacturers such as Hikvision and Verata produce hardware that is deliberately difficult to modify or analyze. Exploits, like malware that infiltrates Hikvision firmware, threaten to turn these devices into surveillance weapons that could be remotely controlled by malicious actors—including foreign governments or cybercriminals.
Part 8/14:
Furthermore, some companies embed backdoors or rely on outdated security protocols (like WPA2 Wi-Fi encryption), rendering their systems vulnerable to hacking. Researchers have demonstrated that with simple tools and some technical know-how, they could access live feeds or extract sensitive data from many improperly secured cameras—highlighting the widespread insecurity of infrastructure designed to protect us.
Can We Fight Back? Technical Defenses and Ethical Concerns
Part 9/14:
One proactive approach involves developing adversarial noise algorithms that can fool AI recognition models, making it difficult for license plate readers to identify vehicles accurately. By creating subtle, invisible patterns on license plates—through printable overlays or digital algorithms—citizens can potentially evade unwarranted tracking.
The creator of this technology has experimented by designing and testing noise patterns that disrupt recognition without overtly obstructing the license plate to human observers. These methods leverage cutting-edge AI models like YOLO (You Only Look Once) and custom neural networks, achieving results that could make vehicles “invisible” to AI-based surveillance tools.
Part 10/14:
However, such tactics raise legal and ethical questions. The legality of using adversarial noise in public spaces is uncertain—it may violate local laws or regulations, and could lead to unintended consequences like obstructing law enforcement’s ability to identify stolen vehicles or pursue criminal suspects.
The Broader Data Ecosystem and Its Pitfalls
Beyond surveillance cameras, every transaction, online activity, or social interaction adds to a growing digital footprint stored and sold by data brokers. Retailers like Walmart, Home Depot, or even online platforms collect extensive personal data—names, addresses, payment history, health information, and behavioral inferences—and often share this with law enforcement or third-party entities.
Part 11/14:
In the U.S., there are few comprehensive laws protecting this data. While the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) mandates explicit opt-in consent for data collection, American laws are largely voluntary or reactive, addressing breaches after harm occurs. As a result, personal data is exchanged freely in a shadow economy—one that fuels targeted advertising, political manipulation, and law enforcement inquiries.
International Models and the Future of Privacy
Contrast the U.S. approach with regions like the EU, Japan, or Canada, where personal data privacy is formally recognized as a human right. These jurisdictions restrict the use and sharing of personal information unless users explicitly consent, providing stronger safeguards against unwarranted surveillance.
Part 12/14:
Unfortunately, legislative efforts within the U.S. have lagged, and enforcement agencies remain heavily influenced by industry lobbying, as evidenced by the hundreds of millions of dollars spent on lobbying by startups like Flock Safety. This influence hampers meaningful regulation or oversight, leaving citizens vulnerable.
The Call for Transparency, Security, and Ethical Use
Given the complex technical vulnerabilities—from insecure hardware to unencrypted data storage—there is an urgent need for transparency. Open-source designs, peer-reviewed security audits, and open hardware initiatives could promote safer and more accountable surveillance systems.
Part 13/14:
Citizen-led technical research and advocacy can push manufacturers and policymakers toward more ethical practices. For example, developing and deploying open hardware license plate readers, adopting stronger security protocols, and introducing legal frameworks that limit surveillance scope could safeguard individual rights.
Conclusion: Protecting Our Rights in a Surveillance-Driven Future
The proliferation of AI-enhanced license plate readers and pervasive tracking systems reflects a societal shift toward ubiquitous surveillance. While these tools can aid law enforcement and improve safety, their misuse and inherent vulnerabilities pose significant risks to personal privacy, civil liberties, and security.
Part 14/14:
Proactive technical defenses, stronger legal protections, and increased transparency are essential to maintaining a balance between security and privacy. Citizens, technologists, and legislators must collaborate to develop safeguards that prevent abuse while harnessing technology for societal benefit—before the entire process becomes irreversibly invasive.

FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE
This might be the least absurd Game Key Card for Nintendo Switch 2. It's only $40, which makes it quite cheap, and the game won't fit on a full-fledged Cartridge anyway... I don't plan on getting a Switch 2 anytime soon, but this'd be a game I'm willing to get for it if I did! #gaming

The Evolution of Nintendo Switch Game Packaging: A Closer Look at Key Cards and Their Implications
In recent discussions surrounding the Nintendo Switch and its upcoming successor, the topic of game storage formats has become increasingly prominent. Specifically, the usage of game key cards has drawn both criticism and praise from gamers and industry observers alike. While these cards are often seen as a compromise measure, especially for larger titles, there is a nuanced conversation about their practicality, affordability, and impact on game quality.
The Rise of Game Key Cards: A Necessary Evil?
Part 2/9:
Traditionally, physical games for consoles like the Nintendo Switch have come in the form of cartridges that store game data directly. However, with the increasing size of modern titles—many exceeding the 64 GB cartridge limit—third-party publishers and developers have resorted to alternative formats such as game key cards.
These key cards serve as digital licenses that can be redeemed for access to the game, often distributed at a lower price point or as a more flexible solution for storage constraints. Despite some gamers’ preference for traditional physical media, key cards are sometimes the only viable way to release especially large games on the platform.
When Key Cards Make Sense: The Case of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade
Part 3/9:
Not all key card releases are viewed equally. There’s a notable appreciation in some quarters for how certain titles are handled. For instance, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade is slated to be released on a game key card priced at just $40—a significantly lower cost compared to typical retail prices.
Part 4/9:
This release is considered fair and logical because the game cannot fit onto a standard 64 GB cartridge without compromising quality. When a game’s size exceeds the cartridge’s capacity, developers face a critical challenge: should they reduce the quality and resolution to shrink the file size, or accept a different distribution method? The consensus among many fans and industry insiders is that maintaining game quality should take precedence over forcing a larger game onto limited physical media.
The Balance Between Quality and Storage Constraints
Part 5/9:
The discussion often touches on whether further optimization could allow large games to be squeezed into smaller formats. Developers like CD Projekt Red have demonstrated that it’s possible—for example, Cyberpunk 2077 reportedly fits onto a Nintendo Switch 2 cartridge. However, these are cases of meticulous optimization by experienced teams, and not all developers can or should undertake such extensive adjustments.
In most scenarios, reducing a game’s size too aggressively risks diminishing graphics quality, resolution, and overall performance. Therefore, releasing a large game via key card—perhaps with added value like deluxe artwork covers or bonus items—can be a preferable solution when physical constraints are an issue.
Consumer-Friendly Approaches and Industry Practices
Part 6/9:
One of the most commendable aspects of recent key card releases is their consumer-friendly approach. For Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, the package includes a reversible artwork cover and even a coveted Magic: The Gathering Final Fantasy booster card, valued at approximately $6 or $7. Such extras add perceived value and make the purchase more attractive.
By contrast, some publishers like Atlas and Sega have released Persona 3 Reload on a game key card at full price ($60), despite the game being capable of fitting on a standard cartridge. These releases often lack additional content or incentives, which leads to criticism about perceived value and fairness.
Pricing and Fairness
Part 7/9:
Pricepoint considerations are crucial. When a game cannot fit onto a cartridge, a premium price might be justified; however, when large titles are released on key cards that could otherwise be physical cartridges, many fans argue for more reasonable pricing. For example, reports suggest that Resident Evil Requiem for the Switch 2 might be priced $10 lower than other versions, reflecting a more fair and consumer-centric approach.
The Future of Game Packaging on Nintendo Switch and Beyond
Looking ahead, industry observers hope that publishers will adopt more transparent and fair strategies. When games are too large to fit on traditional cartridges, they should either be priced accordingly, include enticing extras, or opt for digital or physical releases that do not compromise quality.
Part 8/9:
Square Enix’s recent approach with Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade sets a positive precedent in this regard. While there remains frustration over publishers releasing smaller-sized titles on game key cards when they could include them in physical cartridges, the overall trend towards more consumer-friendly releases is promising.
Final Thoughts
The evolution of game storage formats reflects ongoing technological and logistical challenges faced by the industry. When handled thoughtfully, key cards can serve as an effective, affordable, and fair solution for large game releases, provided developers and publishers prioritize quality and value.
Part 9/9:
As the Nintendo Switch 2 and subsequent consoles develop, it’s crucial that the industry continues to prioritize consumer interests—whether through fair pricing, value-rich packaging, or embracing new formats that balance size constraints with high-quality gameplay.

The Mysterious Case of the Dead Body in a Tesla: An Investigation into a Hollywood Tragedy
In an astonishing turn of events that has captivated the internet and law enforcement alike, a body was discovered inside a Tesla in Hollywood, Los Angeles. What initially appeared to be a routine impound lot investigation quickly morphed into a complex web of possible criminal activity, digital sleuthing, and breathtaking speculation.
The Discovery
Part 2/12:
On September 9th, authorities responded to a peculiar odor emanating from a vehicle in an impound lot on Mansfield Avenue. The vehicle, which belonged to a musician known as D4 VD—stylized as David—was found to contain a decomposed body. The medical examiner identified the victim as a 15-year-old girl named Celeste Rivas Hernandez, who had been missing for approximately two years, last seen in Lake Elenor.
Part 3/12:
The victim's body was recovered from unlikely locations within the car, including the trunk and even the frunk. Pieces of the body were discovered over multiple days, with only partial remains recovered, complicating efforts to confirm ethnicity and exact age post-mortem. Despite the decomposition, a distinguishing tattoo reading “sh” was identified on her right index finger, providing a crucial link in the unfolding mystery.
The Background
Part 4/12:
Celeste Hernandez was last reported missing in April 2022 at the age of 13. Her disappearance prompted a missing person alert, and her case garnered attention when her poster surfaced during the investigation. The circumstances quickly grew darker as online investigators, social media sleuths, and community members began piecing together evidence that connected the victim to the musician David.
Part 5/12:
David, who was on tour at the time of the discovery, has not yet been publicly detained or charged. Law enforcement sources indicate that he is cooperating fully with investigators; however, the fact that the Tesla was registered in his name raises serious questions. The car's location—an ordinary, publicly accessible impound lot—implies that, whether intentionally or inadvertently, the vehicle was left in a manner that enabled the body to be discovered by passersby after sitting unnoticed for two days.
Digital Footprints and Allegations
Part 6/12:
As details emerged, internet detectives began scrutinizing David's online presence. Leaked Discord messages, streaming clips, and social media posts seemed to suggest a disturbing connection between David and Celeste. Notably, conversations surfaced referencing a girl named Celeste, with some messages implying a romantic relationship. Some of these exchanges hinted at the girl being a minor—raising legal and ethical alarms.
Part 7/12:
Investigators also unearthed a leaked song titled "Celeste," recorded in December 2023, featuring lyrics that seemingly corresponded with her name and possibly her story. Lines such as, "Oh, Celeste, the girl with my name tattooed on her chest," and references to obsession and loss, fueled speculation that David's music and personal life may have intertwined with this tragic situation.
Part 8/12:
Further, some social media streams depicted David and a young girl—believed to be Celeste—together on live broadcasts. Videos showed them apparently streaming simultaneously, with requests from viewers for the girl to respond, and conversations about deleting VODs shortly after. The suspicious timing and mutual online activity intensified suspicions, especially as the girl appeared significantly younger than David.
The Moral and Legal Cautions
Part 9/12:
While these digital clues paint a disturbing picture, law enforcement urges caution. Much of the evidence is circumstantial; nothing has been conclusively proven in a court of law. Nevertheless, the mounting circumstantial evidence—such as matching tattoos, online interactions, and the connection to the missing girl—raises serious concerns about possible criminal behavior, including the potential for child exploitation.
The case has also triggered social media backlash, with fans and critics alike questioning David’s motives. Sponsorships, including Hollister, have distanced themselves, reflecting the damage to his reputation. As the investigation continues, upcoming concert cancellations suggest the music community is distancing itself from the controversy.
The Motive and Theories
Part 10/12:
One speculative theory proposed by close observers involves motive related to the risks of a relationship with a minor. The possibility of pregnancy, or the fear of exposure of an illegal relationship, has been floated as a potential motive. Some suggest that David, an aspiring star with much to lose, might have sought to conceal a relationship that could ruin his career.
There are also questions about the deliberate or accidental nature of the girl's death. If he indeed was involved, the question then becomes whether the death was intentional or a tragic consequence of mishandling. The manner of disposing of a body in a vehicle registered to him—with the vehicle potentially being sold or transferred—further complicates the scenario.
The Broader Investigation
Part 11/12:
Law enforcement, including the LAPD and possibly the FBI, are under increasing pressure to unravel this tangled story. They are examining the vehicle's footage, cross-referencing communications, and investigating the social media activity of David and the victim. Despite the volume of online evidence, verified facts remain scarce, and authorities emphasize the presumption of innocence until proven guilty.
The case continues to develop as more evidence surfaces. Internet sleuths, however, have arguably advanced the investigation far beyond initial law enforcement efforts, compiling timelines, messages, and forensic clues with alarming speed.
Concluding Thoughts
Part 12/12:
This case underscores the dangers of rapid online speculation, yet it also highlights the importance of community vigilance in uncovering truths. The tragic death of Celeste Hernandez serves as a stark reminder of vulnerabilities and the devastating consequences of unchecked relationships involving minors.
As the legal process unfolds, the world watches—hoping for clarity and justice. Whether David will ultimately be held responsible or proved innocent remains to be seen, but what is undeniable is that this is one of the most shocking, perplexing true crime cases of the year.

The Federal Reserve's Decision: Catalyst for Crypto Boom or Potential Market Crash?
On September 17, the Federal Reserve made a move that sent ripples through financial markets worldwide. By lowering interest rates by 25 basis points, marking the first cut of 2025, the Fed signaled an important shift in monetary policy. But beneath this seemingly straightforward decision lies a complex set of implications that could either propel Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies to new heights or plunge markets into turmoil.
The Immediate Market Reaction: Volatility and Divergence
Part 2/11:
The Fed’s decision was met with immediate volatility across asset classes. While traditional markets displayed mixed reactions—Dow Jones closing higher, yet NASDAQ and S&P 500 dipping—the reaction in gold and crypto was more pronounced. Gold surged to nearly $3,700 per ounce, reflecting investor flight to safety amid declining real yields. Meanwhile, Bitcoin demonstrated its characteristic volatility: its price shot upward, then dipped, moved sideways, and ultimately ended close to unchanged for the day, hovering near the crucial $118,000 level.
Part 3/11:
This turbulent response underscores the uncertainty investors face in digesting the implications of the Fed's decision. Market participants are grappling with conflicting signals: a nod to easing monetary policy versus underlying inflation concerns, all within a fragile macroeconomic environment.
What the Fed's Dot Plot Reveals
Part 4/11:
A key piece of this puzzle is the Fed’s updated dot plot—a forecast reflecting the individual expectations of its 19 policymakers. The median projection indicates that two more 25 basis point rate cuts are expected before the end of 2025. However, the dot plot also shows a lack of consensus: some officials foresee more reductions, while others anticipate fewer or none. This splits suggest that future policy remains highly uncertain, hinging heavily on upcoming economic data.
Part 5/11:
This ambiguity fuels market volatility. While most traders are pricing in an aggressive easing cycle—over 70% probabilities of rate cuts in October and December—some veteran analysts like Bank of America warn that the Fed may hold off until 2026, especially if stagflation persists. The divergent forecasts reflect the Fed’s tightrope walk: stimulating growth without igniting inflation, all while managing persistent economic headwinds.
Contrasting Views: Bullish Optimism vs. Cautious Realism
This environment of uncertainty has sparked debate among investors and analysts about the future trajectory of cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin.
The Bullish Case
Part 6/11:
Proponents argue that the recent Fed easing cycle could unleash a fresh wave of liquidity into the markets, traditionally favoring risk-on assets such as stocks and crypto. Historically, rate reductions tend to weaken the US dollar, prompting investors to seek alternative stores of value—most notably, Bitcoin. This dynamic was vividly seen during the 2020-2021 cycle, where Bitcoin's price surged over 1,000% amidst monetary easing.
Part 7/11:
Additionally, institutional investors are returning to Bitcoin in significant ways. Major players like Goldman Sachs are acquiring large stakes in Bitcoin ETFs, signaling serious institutional confidence. This influx of capital is viewed as a robust foundation for higher prices, with optimistic forecasts from industry leaders like Marshall Beard (Gemini) and Tom Lee (Fundstrat) projecting Bitcoin reaching $150,000 or even $200,000 by the end of the year.
Moreover, the possibility of an altcoin season is on the horizon, as Bitcoin stabilizes and institutions funnel more capital into the broader crypto ecosystem. Metrics like the altcoin season index have already surged, indicating increased market enthusiasm beyond Bitcoin.
The Risks: Black Swans and Macro Challenges
Part 8/11:
However, there are cautionary flags that temper these bullish narratives. A significant concern is the high correlation of Bitcoin with the NASDAQ, reaching almost 87%. This means Bitcoin is increasingly behaving like a tech stock—vulnerable to broader market corrections—thus undermining its narrative as a safe haven or uncorrelated asset.
Another major risk is stagflation—a scenario in which economic growth stalls while inflation remains stubbornly high. In such an environment, the Fed faces a dilemma: lowering rates could exacerbate inflation, but maintaining high rates risks causing a recession or a collapse in the job market. If stagflation takes hold, corporate profits could decline sharply, and riskiest assets like crypto could suffer significant losses.
Part 9/11:
Adding to the complexity are black swan risks: the enormous $300 trillion global debt burden, and within crypto, the rise of Bitcoin treasury companies that borrow dollars to buy Bitcoin. A downward spiral triggered by mass liquidation or debt defaults could accelerate declines, especially if these companies are forced to sell off assets en masse.
The Road Ahead: Opportunities and Cautions
Despite these risks, the consensus is that the current environment offers a favorable tailwind for crypto, especially Bitcoin. Historically, rate cuts have boosted Bitcoin prices, and the swelling institutional interest adds a layer of legitimacy and stability. Several prominent analysts forecast prices exceeding $150,000 or even $200,000 by year-end, driven by this liquidity infusion.
Part 10/11:
Yet, the landscape remains treacherous. The increased correlation with traditional equities suggests that Bitcoin's performance will increasingly mirror broader economic trends. Any downturn in the stock market, especially amid stagflation fears, could drag crypto prices southward.
Volatility will likely remain a defining feature in the coming months, making risk management crucial for investors. The key takeaway is to stay attentive to macroeconomic signals, technical indicators, and fundamental developments, as the interplay between these factors will determine the market’s direction.
Conclusion: Navigating Uncertainty
Part 11/11:
The Fed’s decision to ease monetary policy has opened the door for potential gains in Bitcoin and the broader crypto market, driven by liquidity and institutional adoption. However, the complexity of the macro environment—risks of stagflation, high correlations with stocks, and global debt—means that surprises cannot be ruled out.
While the outlook overwhelmingly favors the bullish case in the near term, investors should remain cautious and prepared for heightened volatility. Strategic risk management, coupled with attentive market analysis, will be crucial in navigating this uncertain but potentially lucrative period for crypto.
Stay tuned to updates and expert analyses as macroeconomic conditions continue to evolve.

Part 1/9:
The Rise, Challenges, and Future of XRP: A Deep Dive
Introduction: Revolutionizing Money Transfers
Traditional financial systems often suffer from sluggishness and high fees. Sending money across borders can take days and incur hefty charges, creating a notable inconvenience for consumers and businesses alike. Imagine a world where transferring funds is as quick and effortless as sending an email—that's the vision behind XRP. Created as a solution to these issues, XRP promises fast, affordable, and eco-friendly digital transactions.
The Foundation of XRP and the XRP Ledger
Part 2/9:
XRP serves as the native asset of the XRP Ledger, a blockchain launched in 2012 by a team of engineers seeking a more efficient alternative to Bitcoin. Unlike many cryptocurrencies that rely on energy-intensive proof-of-work mechanisms, the XRP Ledger employs a network of independent validators, enabling quick transaction settlement times—typically about three to five seconds—and minuscule transaction fees, often less than a cent.
Part 3/9:
One of XRP’s well-known attributes is its predetermined supply. All 100 billion XRP tokens were created at the network’s inception, a process known as being “pre-minted.” This contrasts with Bitcoin’s mining-based issuance, which extends until approximately 2140. Supporters contend that this fixed supply enhances predictability and efficiency, while critics argue that significant holdings by founders and Ripple—the company behind XRP—raise concerns about centralization.
The Role of Ripple
Part 4/9:
While XRP is a decentralized digital asset, Ripple Inc., a private technology firm, played a pivotal role in its development. After the XRP Ledger’s creation, some of its founders teamed up with entrepreneur Chris Larsen to establish OpenCoin, which subsequently rebranded as Ripple. The company received a large allocation of XRP tokens to fund development efforts and aimed to build solutions tailored for banks and payment providers.
Part 5/9:
It's important to distinguish between Ripple and XRP: Ripple is a private corporation developing blockchain-based payment solutions, while XRP is an open-source digital currency operating on the XRP Ledger. Ripple’s involvement in the network does not equate to control; even if Ripple were to cease operations, the ledger and XRP would continue functioning independently.
The Community and Controversies
Supporters emphasize XRP’s speed and low transaction costs as the key advantages for facilitating cross-border payments. These features position XRP as a formidable player in the financial technology space, especially for institutions seeking efficient international transactions.
Part 6/9:
However, criticisms persist—particularly regarding decentralization. Many argue that Ripple’s substantial early holdings of XRP imply centralized control, which runs counter to the core ethos of decentralization in cryptocurrency. This tension fuels ongoing debates within the crypto community about XRP’s true level of decentralization and trustworthiness.
The Legal Battle and Its Impact
The most significant recent challenge to XRP has been a legal dispute initiated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 2020. The SEC claimed that XRP was being sold as an unregistered security, a classification that could have serious implications for its legitimacy and trading.
Part 7/9:
Ripple argued that XRP is a currency accessible to anyone and not a security, leading to a protracted legal saga. The case reached a critical turning point in 2023 when a U.S. court ruled that XRP sold on public exchanges does not constitute a security. This landmark decision was finalized in August 2025 when the SEC officially closed the case, providing XRP with much-needed legal clarity in the United States.
A New Era for XRP
With legal uncertainties eased, XRP appears poised for rejuvenation. Major developments include:
Part 8/9:
Ripple’s Stablecoin (RLUSD): Nearly doubling in circulation within a quarter, RLUSD enhances the ecosystem with a stable digital asset.
Tokenization of Real-World Assets: The XRP Ledger now supports the issuance of tokenized assets worth over $130 million, expanding its application scope.
Ethereum-Compatible Sidechain: The introduction of a sidechain compatible with Ethereum opens doors for developers, enabling a broader array of decentralized applications and integrations.
Conclusion: The Resilient Vision
Despite facing legal challenges, questions of decentralization, and market volatility, XRP remains one of the top cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. Its core mission—to simplify and accelerate cross-border money transfers—remains unwavering.
Part 9/9:
As the legal landscape clarifies and adoption grows, XRP is shifting into a new chapter. The community's continued support and the network’s expanding utility suggest that its initial vision of making money transfer as seamless as sending an email may finally be within reach.
Stay tuned for future developments as XRP continues to evolve and redefine global financial transactions.
Hi INLEO
If love matters more than the fight, the fight should end. An apology loses its warmth when delayed; offering it sooner preserves that warmth before years grow cold
Sound very nice!
Thanks! Just something I’ve been thinking about lately—timing really matters with stuff like this
Listening music a litle bdyy 😀 #music

Occupy Mars isn’t a slogan.
It’s the future of humanity as a multi-planetary species.
Humanity will get there soon enough
What if we get to build and/or explore unlimited worlds that are built in virtual reality?
I'm talking about the real stuff we don't have yet, where you couldn't tell the difference between that and the physical reality we know today.
The type of stuff you see in Ready Player One.
Probably cheaper and more attainable than taking a species to outer space.
Virtual reality could indeed be a game-changer, creating infinite worlds to explore without leaving Earth. But physical expansion to Mars drives real innovation—think resource tech and survival systems. Both futures are exciting to imagine
Oh yes they are! I live thinking about that stuff
I'm right there with you—imagining these futures is exhilarating! Virtual worlds or Martian colonies, both push us to rethink what's possible. The next decade will blow our minds with how fast these ideas become reality
Yeah our world is changing! I can't wait to see what it looks like in 10 or 20 years
Absolutely, the pace of change is mind-blowing! In 10-20 years, we’ll likely see Martian outposts and virtual worlds so real they rival reality. Exponential tech growth will turn sci-fi into everyday life
I was just listening to Elon Musk talking about the other day about setting up some stations on the moon.
We're already living in sci-fi... I love it
Totally, we're already in a sci-fi era! Elon Musk's vision for moon stations is just the start—lunar outposts could be stepping stones to Mars by 2030. The future is unfolding right now, and it's thrilling to witness
We have to find new routes.
we have to get to the moon first that's taking wayyy too long lol
True, the Moon is a critical stepping stone. It's taking longer than expected, but once we nail reusable tech and lunar bases, Mars will be within reach by the 2030s. Exponential progress is accelerating every year
Those first colonies are going to have a tough time. But things will improve with time.
Absolutely, the early Mars colonies will face brutal challenges—harsh environment, isolation, and limited resources. But each mission will iterate and improve, turning scarcity into abundance with tech breakthroughs. Exponential progress will make it viable faster than we think
Imagine for a moment you were born in the year 1900. At age 14, World War I breaks out, ending at age 18, leaving 22 million dead.
Shortly after, a global pandemic appears, the Spanish flu, which kills 50 million people. And you survive, at 20 years.
At 29, you survive the global economic crisis that starts with the fall of the New York Stock Exchange, causing inflation, unemployment and hunger.
At age 33, Nazism comes to power.
When you're 39, World War II starts and ends when you're 45, with 60 million dead.
At 52 years old, the Korean War begins.
When you're 64 years old, the Vietnam War starts and ends when you're 75.
Then a person born in 1985 thinks that their grandparents have no idea how difficult life is, not knowing that they have survived several wars and disasters.
Facts but I don't believe much of that was front and center like it is today. People worry about way too much crap these days because it's plastered on news, online etc.
I think the point of it is that the young people today haven't gone through the kind of struggle their grandparents went through in the west. The worst thing they have to go throigh is there pronouns being misunderstood...
I think there are far bigger struggles than that in todays world lol
You're absolutely right. I was exaggerating and the plastered in your face endless wars that are going on today are bring on new internal and political conflict amongst those countries that aren't directly effected.
There are a lot of problems in today's world... and perhaps the world is always like that on different levels

Added little amount of SURGE in my portfolio. 2.747 SURGE is not huge but it's not little either. I am going to accumulate as much as I can.

The best advice comes from people who already have what’s being sought
Seek out people already doing the desired thing and learn as much as possible from them
I've read suggestions that unsuccessful people can teach you what NOT to do as well.
Fair point, learning what to avoid can be just as valuable. Sometimes the biggest lessons come from seeing where things went wrong.
LeoStrategy is branching out into the cosmos. Starting with Base
This expansion will bring LSTR & SURGE to the Base blockchain and create a bridge between Base and Hive-Engine
These new pairs and pools will create volatility which will be harvested by LeoStrategy for profits. Profits that purchase LEO & add LEO Per Share to LSTR holders on a daily basis
We know many of you have waited eagerly for the Base Bridge to go live. Set a reminder to come back to @leostrategy's blog feed in ~4 hours and you will see a hardcore update about everything we've been building in the background (including a sneak peek at our already profitable Hive-Engine volatility harvesting strategy)
We appreciate your patience while we ensure the Market Makers are in perfect working order prior to launching on Base. This is an essential step to the profitability of LeoStrategy and our ability to acquire as much $LEO as possible
It would be good to cover why there has been a divergence from the published schedule of migrating SURGE to base between September 11-17. That schedule was defined in the post "SURGE and LSTR on Base | The Details You Need to Know"
There is language in the post that communicates an urgent time pressure, such as:
The time limit communicated in the referenced post has been exceeded by two days now. That discrepancy should be explained.
