The establishment will not allow America to be brought to there knees. Its to early to predict where this will lead but one thing is for sure it will end in blood and tears.
i am not a great lover of politics but Starmer has played it quite smart. Saying "Trump is looking after America and I will look after Us" i hope that is the case.
An employee of mine who has invested money safely into his pension looks at its growth weekly told me this morning his Pension is worth £10,000 les then it did a month ago.
Were in for a crazy ride.....

I have read a few smart people say they are surprised btc is weathering the USD drop. (I cant remember where)... isn't the idea that btc is supposed to be like gold and/or seperate to fiat? why would BTCUSD follow the USD?
I have also seen random people say gold price isn't going up, its that USD is going down. I don't quite understand that either. Anyone got any ideas?
Like where does all the money go when stocks go down? or is it just a case of growth is less?

The best you can hope for is that the UK don't have to ask for a bail-out like Greece did several years ago
This might actually come back to haunt Greece and the EU
Export of Greek food to the USA accounts for approximately 31% of total exports, with table olives valued at £180 million.

Don't forget coffee which is only grown in California, Hawaii and Puerto Rico (in small amounts)
Americans lost their shit over the price of eggs, they'll be blowing gaskets if coffee gets way more expensive.
