Buy gold and the S&P500.

Which means Johnson & Johnson - even with all the baby powder lawsuits - has a better credit rating than the U.S.

All I can say is that I see multiple reverse H&S on multiple chart timelines and that’s bullish af. We are about to break the fuck out, in pretty much every timeline.

tldr; DDC Enterprise Ltd., a U.S.-based consumer brand with operations in Hong Kong and mainland China, announced its adoption of Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset. The company plans to acquire 5,000 BTC over 36 months, starting with an initial purchase of 100 BTC worth $10.4 million. This move aligns with a global trend of corporate Bitcoin adoption despite China's restrictive crypto policies. DDC aims to reach 500 BTC by the end of 2025, supported by a dedicated treasury team, signaling growing mainstream acceptance of Bitcoin.

This is correct.
Keep buying burgers with it and I’ll keep buying it up as S&S immediately liquidates to USD.

tldr; U.S. states are increasingly adopting Bitcoin-friendly legislation, signaling a shift in government attitudes toward cryptocurrency. New Hampshire passed a law allowing up to 5% of public funds to be invested in Bitcoin and other high-market-cap assets, effective July 2025. Arizona approved a bill to manage unclaimed crypto assets but restricted public fund investments. Other states, including Texas and Florida, are considering similar measures. These developments could pave the way for broader adoption of Bitcoin as a strategic reserve and investment asset.

It includes sales tax, but if any gains were experienced on those sats then some capital gains income tax might be due.

There’s no way crypto is staying so stable after the U.S. credit news wtf

BTC price has now remained above $100k for 8 consecutive days, extending the record.
Yesterday 30 year treasury yields rallied towards their highest level since 2017 upon news that Moody’s has downgraded the U.S. government’s credit rating. This will likely result in a flight to quality and since bonds aren’t safe anymore, alternative assets such as gold and BTC should benefit.
New ATH is probably coming any day now. Is today the day? We’ll see.

tldr; U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell warned that the economy may face more frequent and persistent supply shocks, potentially leading to more volatile inflation. Speaking at a research conference, Powell noted that higher real interest rates could signal this shift. He emphasized the challenges these shocks pose for the economy and central banks. Supply shocks were a key driver of inflation from 2021-2023. The Fed recently maintained its federal funds rate target at 4.25-4.5% to balance employment and inflation goals.

appreciate the sentiment but I personally tend to view it in terms of golds market share. it can 10x and be at parity with gold. and it is generally accepted that gold is artificially suppressed by central banks to not be seen as a viable alternative. so long term (decade plus) I expect btc to be a small multiple of gold.
short term IMO saylormoon's Strategy's inclusion into S&P would be a good start. it will provide a steady inflow and maintain a stable floor for BTC trades. rest I believe will follow unless all centralbanks collectively ban btc and all crypto. fat chance. realistically (IMO) what will happen is that they will get into a sort of prisoner's dilemma with btc ownership and compete to accumulate like gold. that IMHO should take it to about half of gold just because of market dynamics and hodl scarcity. rest will slowly happen.

**Summary**
Semler Scientific reported a significant contraction in its core healthcare business during the first quarter of 2025, with revenue plummeting 44% to $8.8 million compared to $15.9 million in the prior year period. This sharp decline is primarily attributed to changes in the CMS reimbursement landscape, which heavily impacted the demand for the company's primary product, QuantaFlo. The operational challenges contributed to a reversal in cash flow, with the company using $1.9 million from operations compared to generating $5.6 million a year earlier. Alongside the core business decline, Semler's financials were heavily influenced by a strategic pivot towards Bitcoin as its primary treasury asset. The company purchased $90.7 million of Bitcoin during the quarter, ending March with 3,192 Bitcoins valued at $263.5 million. This strategy introduced considerable volatility, resulting in a $41.8 million unrealized loss on digital assets during the quarter. The financial results also included a $29.8 million accrual related to an agreement in principle to settle a U.S. Department of Justice investigation. To support this new treasury strategy and provide liquidity, Semler raised capital through the issuance of $100 million in convertible senior notes and the establishment of a new $500 million At-the-Market common stock offering program. The combined effect of the revenue decline, litigation accrual, and Bitcoin losses led to a net loss of $64.7 million for the quarter, a stark contrast to the $6.1 million net income reported in the prior year. This quarter's results highlight a fundamental shift in the company's financial profile and strategic focus, moving from a healthcare operational emphasis to one heavily reliant on capital markets access and digital asset performance.

It was added to the S&P 500 earlier in the week so there are a ton of index funds that are needing to add it to their funds.

I've been exploring USDX by WhiteRock...a stablecoin backed by U.S. Treasuries that offers a 5% yield. It's like having a high-yield savings account on-chain. The best part? Profits are distributed back to users. This could redefine how we think about stablecoins.

Full kyc identity’s and what you’ve previously bought/sold/hold is the biggest target on mosts back unfortunately , they’ve had data leaks / breaches for years since outsourcing there admin work to known fraudulent countries,
just was shot down by cb diehards but now they’ve admitted it themselves the day after being listed in the S and P 500 ironically.

tldr; World Liberty Financial has partnered with Chainlink to enhance its USD1 stablecoin with cross-chain capabilities using Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). USD1, backed by U.S. government treasuries and cash equivalents, has reached a $2 billion market cap. The integration allows seamless transfers between Ethereum and BNB Chain, with plans for further blockchain integrations. Chainlink's infrastructure ensures security, addressing past cross-chain vulnerabilities, and supports broader adoption of USD1 in DeFi and traditional finance.
