Given that Bitcoin is a speculative instrument (and so, normally, I wouldn't bother tracking its movements), it is notable its now dropped down to the level it was trading at before the start of the Tangerine Tyrant's second term, losing all the 'value' it had gained in the last 18 months.

Look like the speculative gamblers (and dark economy) are having a crisis of sentiment, which may be yet one more indicator that the fast approaching AI-crash will be soon upon us?

"A new form of money, on a world wide basis" is especially interesting: Russia was pushing cryptocurrency hard in the 2010s, and there are Russian figures behind some key crypto projects in the west.

And of course crypto is an extremely useful tool for Russia in the context of sanctions.

Former Estonian prez Ilves also noted: "From my experience as foreign minister and prez, Jagland was the most pro-Russian European leader other than Tuomioja/Halonen in Finland and Mogherini in Italy."

Amid all this, the crypto industry has amassed at least $315 million to spend in the midterms — more than double their recordbreaking 2024 spending that helped install Trump and members of Congress who either support his atrocities or are too craven to do anything about them.

In elections and political influence
Although most of the pro-crypto super PACs are waiting until the January 31 filing deadline to disclose their 2025 fundraising details, Fairshake is previewing its disclosure with a press blitz publicizing their $193 million war chest for the midterms.41 That they can brandish this figure right around when Senators are deciding how to vote on crypto market structure legislation is, from their perspective, fortunate timing.

While most other pro-crypto super PACs have yet to submit their disclosures, public statements from the Fellowship PAC, Digital Freedom Fund, and other new crypto super PACs put the industry’s midterm fundraising total at a minimum of $315 million. To put that in perspective: in 2024, the crypto industry’s $133 million in spending surpassed traditional lobbying juggernauts like Big Oil and Big Pharma, making it one of the largest corporate political forces in America. Now they’ve amassed more than double that. — In elections and political influence Although most of the pro-crypto super PACs are waiting until the January 31 filing deadline to disclose their 2025 fundraising details, Fairshake is previewing its disclosure with a press blitz publicizing their $193 million war chest for the midterms.41 That they can brandish this figure right around when Senators are deciding how to vote on crypto market structure legislation is, from their perspective, fortunate timing.
