Here is a great grounding rant by Charles Hoskinson of cardano, for a little perspective on the current and future of crypto. Do you have paper hands or are you in it to win it fam? 🤗 https://www.youtube.com/live/gAZRwBZJ9QA?si=V1uFwDRdMJ43iW_r

This isn’t about hype or fear. It’s about awareness. Because awareness allows stewardship — of our currency, our communities, and our creative power. 🏛️ The Longest Government Shutdown in U.S. History As of this fall, the U.S. federal government has been shut down for over a month, officially the longest in American history. Federal workers are furloughed, major agencies frozen, and ripple effects are now touching transportation, healthcare, and local economies.Historically, shutdowns are temporary. But this one is layered on top of record fiscal deficits, polarization, and market fragility, amplifying the instability. It’s a sign not just of policy gridlock — but of systemic strain in how power and trust are distributed in the U.S. 💰 The Dollar & the Cost of Living - The U.S. dollar has lost roughly 10–11% of its value this year — its steepest drop since 1973. - Living costs have climbed faster than wages. Even with inflation around 3%, essentials like rent, fuel, and food have risen far more. - When a nation’s currency weakens while the cost of living rises, it signals deeper shifts — in confidence, supply chains, and global positioning. ⚔️ Global Tensions & Tariff Wars - New tariffs and trade barriers have reignited global economic friction, while global alliances are fracturing. - The AI chip and compute supply chain is now part of national security strategy — creating friction between the U.S., China, and Europe. - These tensions spill into everything from commodities to tech stocks, creating market whiplash and policy uncertainty.

Haven't been in the group much cuz life has been chaotic lately. But life sent me a strong sign today and it's so cool I just have to share! (See pictures) I was at work driving to my next appointment when I noticed my next turn was rainbow bridge drive! Not just that but the 11 with it too. "Cool synchronicity," i thought. Then not 5 seconds later that new song that Amethyst and co made came on. "Wow! Even more!" But the cherry on top: after turning down Rainbow Bridge, I cross Stone Valley Drive. That's basically my name! Hell, it's an alter ego I've specifically thought of before. Stone is an anagram of Eston, and Valley is, well, basically Falley. So... I drove down Rainbow Bridge Dr and found myself (in alternate form), already there. Suffice it to say I think I'm in the right place. 🤟
