In a huge coincidence, a Bitcoin billionaire just-so-happened to put up massive leveraged bets against Bitcoin and Ethereum right before Trump posted about new tariffs on China, prompting a market crash.

$200m in profits instantly. $200m we know about, because they likely used many accounts.

Early Bitcoin Whale Shorted $1.1B Right Before Tariffs, Now Up $27M - How Did He Know?

Satoshi-era whale shorted $1.1B in BTC and ETH 30 minutes before Trump tariffs, banking $190M-$200M as liquidations hit $19.33B.

Takeaways after fab 2 days hosting at Everything Electric:

- vehicle-to-grid charging might FINALLY be here

- sodium-ion batteries are advancing quickly and could be made in the UK with local materials, reducing reliance on China for lithium.

- People want this. This was our biggest UK show yet🎉

Diversity is our strength, no matter what racist, bigoted Republicans say.

Real Americans embrace diversity, equity and inclusion.

Real Americans reject Trump and his white nationalist cronies.

Trump is bad, project 2025 is bad and the people who love America, the real patriots reject both.

The Trump-China trade relationship reminds me of my middle school love life: On one week, off the week, high drama, passing notes, heartache, renewal, gossip, and we did it all again the next week.

The reality, of course, is that despite the drama, no-one was making long-term commitments.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Sounds like the kind of thing that someone originally said as a sarcastic joke and, lacking a sense of humour, when he overheard it, he ran with it.

For those not fluent in Catholic: refusing the Monstrance is not denying prisoners the Eucharist, it is refusing Christ himself, since Christ is present in the Monstrance.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”
