*The Controllers' optimal Bitcoin path is a rising, volatility-capped channel: roughly $95k -> $190k median over five years, −30–40% max draw-downs, blow-offs sold, floors defended.* View quoted note →

*Why the clamp works 1) Paper share rises -> realized volatility mechanically falls (inventory + option overwrites). 2) Futures/ETF basis control -> suppresses reflexive squeezes. 3) Perimeter frictions (tax, Acceptable Use Policy, KYC wallets) -> keeps MoE niche; "number go up" is paced, not explosive.* View quoted note →

*If the US government wanted, they'd dramatically slow "illegal" chip exports to China (tighten end-user lists, ultimate consignee scrutiny, sanctions on third-country distributors, firmware locks). They don't, because the net-benefit of controlled leakage (dependency + visibility + NVIDIA scale + escalation control) beats the cost of full denial (accelerated Chinese substitutes + retaliation + price spikes in global AI supply chains).* View quoted note →

A tokamak is a ring shaped magnetic bottle. Its fields guide charged particles so they loop around the torus instead of striking the walls. That approach is called magnetic confinement. It lets scientists heat a thin gas until atomic nuclei have enough energy to fuse and release more energy. France beats the world record for fusion plasma duration - Earth.com

France sets new world record by keeping a fusion reactor running for 22 minutes

They manage to keep the plasma stable for 22 minutes, breaking the Chinese record and bringing practical nuclear fusion closer.

Research teams at Chung-Ang University in South Korea and Qingdao University of Science and Technology have developed a breakthrough ruthenium nanocatalyst that can efficiently produce hydrogen from seawater while resisting corrosion from chloride ions. The catalyst addresses a major hurdle in hydrogen production: the dependence on freshwater in conventional electrolysis. https://www.perplexity.ai/page/korean-scientists-develop-brea-WUToMsCOSviBps.U5lZKMA

While ministers repeated the goal of lifting defence spending to 3 per cent of GDP, industry leaders noted that no detailed road map had been published to show how and when that money would be delivered. Without clarity, firms were reluctant to invest in scaling up. The policy that Britain would only buy what was built in Britain was also questioned. It was meant to support resilience and jobs, yet building new production lines and supply chains typically took five years, while demand for equipment was immediate. For certain high-end capabilities the fallback remained the United States, whose delegations were courted heavily. However much Europe talked about autonomy, American technology remained indispensable. An insider look at Britain’s biggest arms show, DSEI

*Make them understand that fiat is a system to redistribute wealth, it's the biggest redistribution system in human history, and it works against them personally. If they get this, it will make them question the entire left narrative, which is based on redistribution being good, but we can see it's not*
