The debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris was heated to say the least...

The summary 👇

What initially got the most attention was that Kamala Harris appeared to have worn "earpiece" earrings so that people could whisper "punchlines" to her.

Tensions over Ukraine:
Harris accuses Trump of literally wanting to abandon Ukraine, acknowledges that Russia has not threatened to use nuclear weapons but advocates a rapid end to the conflict.

Disagreements over foreign policy:
Trump fears global escalation, Harris defends international engagement

Lively exchanges on the economy:
Harris criticizes the tariffs that Trump wants to impose (especially on Chinese products), calling them a "sales tax" on the middle class, and blames it for current inflation.

Heated debate on immigration:
Trump alarmist accuses Biden-Harris administration of letting in "dangerous" immigrants while Kamala Harris accuses him of dividing the nation.

Abortion Clash:
Harris defends abortion rights, Trump calls for return of decision to states.

Post debate:
Taylor Swift, "America's Sweetheart," has announced her support for Kamala Harris. The potential impact on "young people" is massive

🔽 Buffett is selling again

Warren Buffett sold $982 million worth of Bank of America stock today.

We all remember very well what happened recently when Buffett sold a large stake in Apple 📉

Tokenized US Treasury Bonds Surpass $2 Billion!

Does this sentence (and its implications) seem incomprehensible to you?

Let's break it down together

1. US Treasury bonds

These are securities issued by the American government, purchasable by anyone on traditional financial markets.

You are literally lending money to the US government and in return for this nice gesture, you are promised a return (currently 3.8 %)

Treasury bills are simply acknowledgements of debt.

The US government is indebted to you (congratulations, you have a superpower in your pocket!)

2. “tokenized”

Literally: injected into a blockchain

Treasury bonds are transformed from a "virtual electronic" state (information on the hard drive of the Fed or a central bank) to a "cryptographic" state by being transposed in the form of digital assets (i.e. tokens) on a blockchain network.

We are talking about "tokenization of financial assets"

3. What for?

Let's simplify:

- Cheaper, lower costs for the issuer (government) and the holder
- Fewer intermediaries (savings on this side too)
- Excellent liquidity
- Unlimited fragmentation potential (a treasury bond is sold at least in tranches of $100 , with tokenization it is possible to divide this threshold by 10, 100, 10,000 to make the asset accessible to a wider audience)
- Transparent
- Ultra secure
- Auditable
- ...

To put it simply, there is SO much upside to using blockchain for financial assets that there is NO scenario where this technological approach will not prevail in the coming decade.

These 2 billion are therefore a very timid incursion into a market of 27,000 billion dollars just for US Treasury Bonds (and this without even counting other asset categories, such as indexes, shares, financial real estate, etc.)

In short and in conclusion, the tokenization of global financial assets and "The (real) next big thing" for blockchain and crypto

❌️ Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas says Solana spot ETF approval was close to 0 in 2024.

"Near zero chance in 2024 and if Harris wins, there is also a near zero chance in 2025."

"Only hope is if Trump wins."

—a "snowball's chance in hell" of approval without a leadership change.

Published in 1968 - In thirty years, he reflected, perhaps sooner, there would be one vast undifferentiated culture, one complex of super-highways, hot-dog stands and neon, interrupted only by the Atlantic, stretching from Los Angeles to Jerusalem; possibly, by then, as far as Calcutta, three-quarters of the way round the world. Where there had been Americans and British and French and Italians and Greeks and the rest, there would be only citizens of the West, uniformly affluent, uniformly ridden by guilt and neurosis, uniformly alcoholic and suicidal, uniformly everything.

According to EricBalchunas , BlackRock could even become "#1 by the end of next year, and will probably remain so for a very long time."

What did you catch?

💬 “We are about to shake up the crypto world with something HUGE.
Decentralized finance is the future – don’t get left behind.”

says Donald Trump Jr, the son of the American presidential candidate

🚨 The crypto market IS COLLAPSING! 🚨

The cryptocurrency market has just suffered a brutal SHOCK, billions of dollars have evaporated in a few hours.

Traditional markets are also affected by panic.

What is really happening?

First, let's take a look at the alarming numbers:

💸 400 billion capitalization gone

💸 More than a billion dollars in positions liquidated in a few hours, including 901 million long positions pulverized.

💸 Bitcoin fell by 20%, Ethereum by 34%, and altcoins were not spared: Solana fell by 24%, XRP by almost 21%, memecoins like DOGE and SHIB fell by 25%. 29%.

But that's just the tip of the iceberg.

The reasons for this debacle are multiple and interconnected:

💥 The Japanese "carry trade" is collapsing: The yen has soared by 10% in just 3 weeks, pushing investors to massively sell their assets to repay their debts in yen.
This situation was exacerbated by the decision of the Bank of Japan to raise its rates to 0.25%, the highest level since 2008.

💥 Traditional markets in panic: The Nikkei collapsed 12.4%, its biggest historical fall since “Black Monday” in 1987.
This shock wave spread to the American markets, with Nasdaq futures falling by 6% and those of the S&P 500 by 3%.

💥 Massive sales from major players: Jump Trading liquidated $300 million worth of Ethereum in 10 days.
Additionally, two other major players contributed to the selling pressure: the distribution of Mt. Gox's Bitcoins to creditors ($9 billion worth) and the sale of BTC by the German government.

💥 A tense global context: The assassination of the Hamas leader by Israel has exacerbated tensions in the Middle East, Western countries are asking their nationals to leave Lebanon...
This geopolitical instability, coupled with political uncertainties in the United States and fears of recession, has created a climate of risk aversion.

This perfect storm shows how vulnerable the crypto market remains to external shocks.

It also highlights the growing interconnection between cryptocurrencies and traditional financial markets.

Stay vigilant, this extreme volatility could well continue in the days to come!

Today, investors around the world are gripped by fear.

👉 The Japanese stock market has just suffered the biggest crash since 1987.

👉 The American stock market suffered its worst day since 2020 (COVID) on Friday.

👉 Iran said it would retaliate and didn't care if it led to a world war.

💥 Today, we have never been so close to such an escalation.

In the long term, no problem: #Bitcoin will go where it needs to go 🚀 .

HODL

The cleaning is really powerful! 🩸🩸🩸

For all the people who have not understood why cryptos have fallen, it is not only because of the sale of institutions and States but it is mainly correlated to the traditional markets.

And why are traditional markets falling?

To keep it short it's because of macroeconomics and unstable geopolitics.

There is on the one hand an escalation of violence between Iran and Israel and on the other an American economy which is ultra fragile because we are on the verge of a recession and the market is anticipating a big crash linked to the pivot of the Fed scheduled for September 18.

In short, personally I have no emotion and I'm even happy because since $70 ,000 I keep telling you that I'm no longer trading because it was too complicated to hold a position so close to resistance.

In any case, these are just short/medium term movements and personally I'm still ULTRA BULLISH, you just have to be patient as always. Only true warriors will emerge victorious!

🇸🇻 El Salvador proposes to use #Bitcoin to trade with Russia 🇷🇺

The aim is to strengthen economic ties and its global influence.

“We have calculation difficulties because the official currency of El Salvador is the American dollar. As an alternative, El Salvador proposes using cryptocurrencies in commercial operations »
says Alexander Ilyukhin, first secretary of the Russian Embassy in Nicaragua.

🚀 Bitcoin and zombie companies: a new financial dynamic

Since the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs on the American market, a shock wave has spread in the ranks of traditional finance. Bitcoin, once considered an infrequent option, is now recognized as a "legitimate financial instrument". This transformation is largely anticipated by companies such as MicroStrategy, which holds 226,300 BTC (or $15 billion) and represents more than 1% of the total supply limited to 21 million units.

Michael Saylor, founder of MicroStrategy, positions himself as a Bitcoin guru. He even evokes "economic immortality" thanks to the holding of BTC. Other publicly traded companies, such as Metaplanet and Semler Scientific, are inspired by this aggressive Bitcoin purchase strategy to boost their shares.

Metaplanet, for example, now holds a portfolio of 245 BTC (or $16 .4 million). Since the announcement of this strategy last April, Metaplanet's share price has risen dramatically, increasing by 980%. Simon Gerovich, CEO of Metaplanet, says that Bitcoin is the supreme monetary asset and that the company aims to own as many as possible.

The arrival of Bitcoin cash ETFs opens up new opportunities for zombie companies in search of excess capital. The simple possession of Bitcoin seems to have the power to revive these companies in difficulty. With the prospect of a $52 million BTC by 2050, Bitcoin continues to attract attention and transform the traditional financial landscape.

AMERICA AND BITCOIN
A historical speech. Here is Donald Trump's full speech at the Bitcoin Conference with timestamps and transcript.

TIMESTAMPS
1:36 - Shoutouts to David Bailey, Winklevosses, Michael Saylor, Cathie Wood, Ron Paul and Rand Paul, Vivek, and the victims of the July 13 assassination attempt.

7:00 - How Bitcoin rose from an idea on an anonymous message board to the 9th most valuable asset in the world.

10:00 - America is a nation in decline, and we cannot let China dominate Bitcoin. The US must lead in tech, science, manufacturing, AI, space, and power generation.

14:50 - Bitcoin will be mined, minted, and made in the USA. If it goes to the moon, it'll get there from America.

16:20 - How the Biden/Harris administration has waged war on crypto for the last three and a half years, by choking off banking support.

22:00 - The Biden/Harris administration is against Bitcoin, because it stands for freedom, sovereignty, and independence from government coercion and control.

25:00 - The day Trump takes the oath of office, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Elizabeth Warren's anti-crypto crusade will be done. He will fire Gary Gensler on day one!

27:57 - Trump commits to immediately shutting down Operation Chokepoint 2.0, and creating a Bitcoin and Crypto Presidential Advisory Council. In 100 days, fair rules written by people who want crypto to thrive.

29:28 - There will never be a CBDC. And he will defend the right to self-custody, freedom of transaction, freedom of association, and freedom of speech.

30:25 - He'll support USD stablecoins and global savings in Bitcoin. And he recognizes that the behavior of the current US government is the threat to the dollar, not Bitcoin.

35:30 - Biden/Harris has presided over the biggest inflation in the history of America.

38:30 - Inflation destroyed Weimar Germany. Bitcoiners understood inflation better than anyone else. Inflation is stealth taxation, a national disgrace.

43:30 - Make the US the lowest cost energy producer in the world, given its natural resources, and turn it into a Bitcoin mining powerhouse. Americans will not need to move to China.

44:20 - The US government has violated the cardinal rule: never sell your Bitcoin. He will stop the US government from selling its Bitcoin. This will serve as the core of the strategic national Bitcoin stockpile.

46:00 - He will commute the life sentence of Ross Ulbricht to time served.

46:26 - He commits to becoming the pro-innovation, pro-Bitcoin, and pro-tech president that America deserves. And will make America and Bitcoin stronger, richer, freer, and greater than ever before.
