And let me say this right away, before any comment, don't come lecturing me about immigration as an American, when America was born on immigration and is built 100% on it. Period.
If violence is attributed entirely to a minority perceived as foreign, society is not forced to question its own educational, academic, and social failures.
It is far more reassuring to imagine an external threat ("just deport them" or calls for "remigration") than to admit that those young people are the product of our own cities and suburbs….
Someone has been exit liquidity for STRK unlock right?
How come, as previously mentioned, Ansem, Mp, and others were suddenly pushing STRK in particular? 🤷♂️
Irony of the week. This is really so funny.
Until last Sunday Starknet was the "dead chain" meme. Down 97 to 98% from the 2024 highs, revenue in free fall, thin TVL, a 127 million STRK unlock every single month, the airdrop drama, the outages. One exchange delisted spot and perps on October 5.
Then October 8. The quantum topic explodes, Eli Ben-Sasson floats the idea of leaving Ethereum to become an L1, "the first fully quantum-resistant network, 2027 target". $STRK goes from under $0.06 to above $0.11 in days and leads the whole market for a while.
Now read it again. "Actively considering". Not a decision, not a date, not a line of code shipped. TVL, revenue and supply are exactly what they were last Sunday.
On October 15 another 127 million STRK unlock to investors and early contributors. Five more of those follow, one every month until March 2027.
Apparently, yesterday's spike was triggered by an intercepted missile over Yanbu, Aramco's strategic hub.
Yanbu is the terminal of the East-West pipeline, the world's only bypass around the Strait of Hormuz….
Threatening global oil's actual and only "Plan B" is why OIL and the VIX instantly exploded.
Im not saying crypto market will not have any bounce from here or in the future, but the conditions are extremely complicated and different now. These are just helpful tips for preserving your capital, something I’ve always done whenever I’ve smell a rat, and I’m not a "permabear", I’m simply a trader and investor.
They laughed at me in late 2022 when I said a new bull market was starting and that Solana would be the epicenter and the top-performing chain.
They laughed at me again in early 2025 when I warned that Trump would be a bull trap.
And they doubted it right up until August 2026, when I called the end of the bull run with Bitcoin hitting its top just a month apart.
The consequences of those warnings are playing out in plain sight.
The energy shock reignited inflation, which instantly pushed Treasury yields higher and slammed the door on the golden era of money printing.
With cheap money gone, capital rushed to safety, draining liquidity out of the system. In a dry market, order books thin out and that's exactly why volatility explodes on every move.
And make no mistake, this is only the beginning: the real de-leveraging cycle has barely started to hit corporate balance sheets.
Just 18 months ago (Jan 2025):
The Fed minutes were crystal clear: the easy-money era was over. And with Trump taking office, I told you: get out of crypto too, pull out of everything.
January 2026:
I warned you about the looming Gulf war and the energy crisis on oil. The chickens always come home to roost. Whoever listened is liquid and safe.
Now all that's left to do is hold the line. Stay resilient. Take care.
This situation is easy to explain. The hold era is over, Warren Buffett's era is done. Liquidity is tightening and the 25-year money-printing run is finished. Sovereign debts are skyrocketing. We’re entering a long period of resilience. With abundant liquidity the lazy strategy won. Today it's all tactical rotation, and it's extremely tough.
…In 2023, Platformer caught engineers manually tweaking the code to boost Elon’s tweets. In 2024, a QUT study confirmed his account got a massive, unnatural engagement spike right after endorsing Trump.
Then look at Grok itself. Leaked prompts ordered it to ignore sources calling Elon or Trump misinformation, and Grok 4 was literally caught checking Elon’s personal timeline before answering controversial questions. Even DFRLab showed it hallucinating and making stuff up while trying to "fact-check" breaking news.
It’s not learning truth from the internet. It’s an AI running on custom rails.
Musk didn’t buy Twitter for the business model, he bought it to control the distribution infrastructure and bend the algorithm to his own agenda.
Grok is just the logical endgame of that setup.
If you control what gets amplified and what gets buried, and then hook up a real-time RAG model straight into that feed, you’ve built the ultimate closed-loop propaganda machine:
1- The algorithm forces the narrative.
2- Grok reads that manufactured volume as objective consensus.
3- It spits it back out, framed not as an agenda, but as an authoritative AI answer.
It’s not a truth machine. It’s an engine built to launder algorithmic bias into "facts."
Consider this and stop using it.
