China has been cutting its US debt holdings for years. This isn't just a one-month story anymore
China has been quietly dumping U.S. debt.
Its holdings of U.S. Treasuries have fallen by more than half, from a record $1.32 trillion in 2013 to $618 billion in July, the lowest level since 2008.
The selling has been steady:
2022: -$173 billion
2023: -$51 billion
2024: -$57 billion
2026 so far: -$76 billion
China has fallen to the 3rd-largest foreign holder of U.S. debt, behind Japan and the UK.
When the weather is nice, I don’t want to stay inside all day. Even a short walk can really lift my mood

California is BURNING to the ground yet again as wildfires rage over 250 acres with 0% containment.
Homes are being torched to ash.
Gavin Newsom is nowhere to be found. He is too busy trying to “Stop Trump.”

🚨 HUUUUUGE!!!
Deutsche Bank to launch Bitcoin custody within weeks.
That's the largest bank in Germany!
Plans Europe first, then expand to Asia.

🚨 HUGE CRASH: Next week will be crucial for markets.
The U.S. stock market has a HUGE problem beneath the surface.
5,000 stocks are down 20%+ from their 52-week highs.
Nearly 4,000 are down 40%+.
Thousands of individual stocks are getting destroyed. And with the major indices starting to fall too, things could escalate fast.
This could drag other markets down with it.
The $192M STRC buyback is more interesting to me than the 250 BTC purchase. Looks like Strategy is putting more attention on its capital structure lately
Strategy has acquired 250 $BTC and repurchased $192M of $STRC. As of 10/11/26, we hold 848,250 BTC and $5.5B of USD Assets. $MSTR strategy.com/press/strategy-…
A lot of happiness comes from ordinary little things. Once you notice them, life feels much more enjoyable.

From the start, @normiesART has been built differently from the ground up. I realized that by customizing two Normies, I could create a stereoscopic 3D PFP. I discussed this possibility with @serc1n and @AdamWeitsman, and together we set off to make it a reality.
Having created stereoscopic 3D works for 20+ years and having a deep love and respect for the craft, I created NORMIE 3D as a nod back to the 1980s when red/blue 3D glasses were the go-to way to see depth in an image. The awesome thing about these two imges are they are future-proof 3D, meaning it can also be seen in 3D on VR and any future stereoscopic tech that comes in the future, on-chain forever.
You can explore the different ways of viewing this in stereoscopic 3D at coldie.normies.art
Burning 84 Normies to create this pair is symbolically fitting. Form & Function together.
Huge shout-out to Serc and Adam for doing a lil FAFO session in 3D with me. I'm really excited to see this come to life, and honored to have this work added to the Legendary Canvases collection alongside really great artists @beeple @lphaCentauriKid @ArtOnBlockchain @deekaymotion @jackbutcher @TimpersHD @piv_piv @serc1n
