I made the same bet but it was in 2012 😉
Almost a decade ago I was the Harvard economist that said that bitcoin was more likely to be worth $100 than 100k. What did I miss? I was far too optimistic about the US coming to its senses about sensible cryptocurrency regulation; why would policymakers want to facilitate tax evasion and illegal activities? Second, I did not appreciate how Bitcoin would compete with fiat currencies to serve as the transactions medium of choice in the twenty-trillion dollar global underground economy. This demand puts a floor on its price, as I discuss at length in my new book Our Dollar, Your Problem. Third, I did not anticipate a situation where regulators, and especially the regulator in chief, would be able to brazenly hold hundreds of millions (if not billions) of dollars in cryptocurrencies seemingly without consequence given the blatant conflict of interest.

If they prosecute this bereaved mother, I stand ready to fund her defence.
🚨Exclusive: A grieving mother is being threatened with prosecution unless she deletes a damning review into police failings in her daughter's case.
We reported on Danielle Charters-Christie's story last year - police conduct since has raised alarm

Encouraging destruction of Teslas throughout the country is extreme domestic terrorism!!
🚨🇺🇸 TESLA OWNERS DOXED: SELL YOUR CAR OR STAY ON THE LIST
A website called “Dogequest” has reportedly published the names, addresses, and phone numbers of Tesla owners across the U.S., complete with an interactive map and a Molotov cocktail cursor.
The site claims it will only remove personal data if owners prove they've sold their Teslas, in an apparent backlash to Elon’s ties with the Trump administration.
This comes as Tesla dealerships face gunfire, arson attempts, and Cybertruck owners report harassment, while anti-Tesla protests ramp up nationwide.

🚨13 YR OLD GIRL R*PED IN SMALL TOWN. POLICE ASK PUBLIC NOT TO TALK ABOUT IT!
We all know why.
We all know who did this.
We all know it's another cover up.
And the Police don't want a riot on their hands.
The UK is a disaster, our authorities are a disgrace.

"I worked with Hillary Clinton.
She was evil. The stories agents around her have, and have kept bottled up inside, are horrendous.”
“Working on her detail was generally considered a punishment assignment.”
“You will never meet a more mercenary and destructive public figure in your lifetime.”
“She hates you. All of you."
- Dan Bongino
Now that he's officially been named Deputy Director of the FBI, Hillary KNOWS she's in TROUBLE.
Dan has been waiting for this moment for a LONG TIME.

As a regular Waitrose customer @waitrose I am disgusted they snooped on wine expert Ben Woods and suspended him for holding legal and widely-held views.
Does Waitrose not want @reformparty_uk or @Conservatives voters in their shops?
Good luck @benonwine and bravo @SpeechUnion
🚨 FSU member suspended by Waitrose for Tweeting Conservative views 🚨
Ben Woods, a long-serving Waitrose wine specialist, has been suspended for ‘misconduct’. His crime? Tweeting lawful conservative views.
After snooping on his social media, company bosses compiled a dossier of 30+ posts, including support for Reform UK, calls to tighten border controls, and a Telegraph cartoon poking fun at gender ideology. After 25 years of service, @benonwine is now fighting for his livelihood.
📖 More details:
freespeechunion.org/fsu-memb…
The FSU has stood by Ben throughout this ordeal. Sadly, he’s one of 260 people we’re assisting right now who are being punished for their opinions.
That’s why we’re backing his legal battle. This is a major test of free speech in employment law and could set an important precedent.
As Ben’s solicitor, @ElliotHammerSR of Branch Austin McCormick (@BAMLLP), puts it: “Employees like Ben have rights under the Equality Act 2010 and Article 10 ECHR to manifest lawful beliefs and engage in robust debate about political matters.”
If companies start to think they can get away with policing lawful views outside work, who’s next?

NEW: The Virginia runner who bashed the head of an opponent with a metal baton holds a rally after getting charged with assault.
Odd.
Alaila Everett started sobbing while holding a rally outside of her high school in Virginia.
Portsmouth NAACP is now *defending* Everett and says anyone who suggests she purposely hit runner Kaelen Tucker is "shameful."
"Alaila is NOT AN ATTACKER and media headlines that allude towards that in any way is shameful," they said in a statement.
At her rally, Everett thanked everyone for showing up & doubled down on her claim that the assault was simply an accident.
"I would never harm anybody. I'm not a fighter, I'm not even confrontational, I wouldn't even do that on purpose, and I thank y'all for believing in me. I love y'all."

So @GoodwinMJ spent his whole adult life writing papers about the rise of the “far-right” and “populist extremists”.
Landing him jobs advising the Home Office, EHRC, security services, etc.
Now he’s a leading spokesman for a supposedly right-wing populist party.
What changed?

🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨
Actually, @reidhoffman, you are lying.
I did some investigating myself and have the receipts to prove you are lying to @elonmusk.
Upon my investigation, I discovered that Reid Hoffman, the founder of @LinkedIn and a Jeffrey Epstein associate who visited Epstein Island numerous times, is a donor to the Hopewell Fund. IRS records from 2023 prove the Hopewell Fund has provided funding to the Sixteen Thirty Fund.
See the screenshot from Sixteen Thirty Fund’s 2023 990 form below. 👇🏻
Additionally, FEC records reveal that the Sixteen Thirty Fund has contributed to Sunrise PAC, which is linked to the Sunrise Movement @sunrisemvmt, the same organization, as I exposed yesterday, that is behind the violent protests at Tesla dealerships all across the nation.
See the “Tesla Takedown” protest invitation from Sunrise Movement NYC below for their violent 3/8/25 protest at the Tesla Showroom in the Meatpacking District below. 👇🏻
So yes, you DID fund the anti-Tesla and anti-Musk protests at Elon’s Tesla show rooms.
