The Co-Opting of Bitcoin: BTC Nashville, Peter Thiel, Donald Trump, and Rumble

Former President Donald Trump and Independent Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr courted voters at the BTC Nashville Conference this past weekend

By Derrick Broze

As U.S. Presidential candidates Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appealed to the Bitcoin community for votes, the right-leaning Big Tech bro’s sunk their claws further into the once potentially revolutionary project.

Former President Donald Trump and Independent Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr courted voters at the BTC Nashville Conference this past weekend. Both men made promises to change the Biden administration’s policy of criminalizing elements of the cryptocurrency industry.

Kennedy said as president he would sign an executive order directing the Department of Justice and the U.S. Marshals to “transfer the approximately 200k Bitcoin held by the U.S. government to the U.S. Treasury where it shall be held as a strategic asset”. Kennedy said he would also direct the U.S. Treasury to purchase 550 Bitcoin daily in an effort to put the U.S. in a “position of dominance that no other country will be able to challenge.”…

By Pam Martens and Russ Martens

Japan’s Nikkei stock market index fell a stunning 4,451.28 points in overnight trading, marking the worst tumble in point terms in the entire history of the Nikkei. In percentage terms, that was a one-day trading loss of 12.4 percent.

Dow futures took their cue from the selloff in overnight foreign markets and tumbled a breathtaking 1200 points by 8:26 a.m. in New York. When the market actually opened at 9:30 a.m. the Dow had shaved off 1,167 points in the opening five minutes. As of 9:40 a.m., the Nasdaq had lost 819.8 points or 4.89 percent.

Japanese traders were spooked by the sharp selloffs in U.S. markets on Thursday and Friday of last week, which were ushered in by bad economic data as well as the potential for a broader war in the Middle East…

By Tyler Durden

When yesterday we said, when discussing Buffett's ongoing liquidation of his Bank of America stake, that "Berkshire's rising cash stockpiles merely reflect the firm's inability to find deals in today's overvalued and weak economic environment", little did we know just how accurate that would be, because fast-forwarding just one day later we find that far from only dumping Bank of America, the 93-year-old Omaha billionaire had been busy quietly dumping his most iconic holding in an unprecedented selling spree that sent Berkshire's cash pile soaring by a record $88 billion to an all time high $277 billion at the end of Q2…
