GUEST POST: The NAScoin Experiment: A Fictional Crypto Ponzi
by Stefan B., SGT Report:
Note: This one is from our former beloved web master Stefan B. He has a warning for Bitcoiners, he loathes it, but he loves PHYSICAL silver, and so do we. GOT PHYSICAL? ~SGT
Imagine a new cryptocurrency called NAScoin, proudly branded as the official currency of NASCAR. Launched with fanfare, NAScoin aims to revolutionize how fans engage with the sport. The rules are simple but peculiar: starting January 1, 2026, all NASCAR event tickets and merchandise must be purchased exclusively with NAScoin. This mandate creates an artificial demand, compelling fans to acquire NAScoin to participate in the NASCAR ecosystem.

- Institutional investors are shifting from pure price speculation in crypto toward strategies that generate steady income from assets they already hold.

“I became a Bitcoiner when I saw what Canada did to the truckers”
by Dave Hodges, The Common Sense Show:
Robert F Kennedy Jr, who is seeking the Democratic nomination to run for President of the United States of America, just came out as an unabashed Bitcoiner in a historic keynote delivered at the seminal #Bitcoin2023 Conference in Miami, FL.
In front of the standing-room-only crowd in the Satoshi Nakamoto hall, the presidential contender said he saw the necessity for Bitcoin last year during the #FreedomConvoy protests when the Trudeau government invoked the Emergency Act (basically declaring martial law) and began seizing the bank accounts of ordinary citizens.
Quick Take…what’s up with CBDCs?
by Kit Knightly, Off Guardian:
Have you seen a mainstream headline about central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) so far this year?
Probably not.
What used to be a regular on the front page has been curiously absent. What stories there are have been tucked away, and the tone is decidedly changed:
Is a digital euro necessary for monetary sovereignty? Rethinking the CBDC debate
That’s from Santander, riffing off a report from the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR), “Central bank digital currency and monetary sovereignty”, which concludes [emphasis added]:
The Unfinished War On Crypto
by Matt Agorist, The Free Thought Project:
(Brownstone Institute) The past two weeks have been nothing short of surreal. If you’ve been following my journey over the last two and a half years, you know I’ve devoted my entire life to warning about the impending threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and the government’s growing crackdown on cryptocurrency. So, when President Trump took three steps that seemed like a direct answer to everything I’ve been fighting for—pardoning Ross Ulbricht, banning any pursuit of a US CBDC, and rescinding Biden’s Executive Order (EO)14067—you’d think I’d be on top of the world.

Establishment Now Using ‘Hamas’ as Excuse to Demonize, Target Bitcoin
from 21st Century Wire:
Every time a geopolitical flashpoint emerges, or some emotive ‘terrorism’ event plays out, the western Establishment will not let such a crisis go to waste. Specifically, they will use any opportunity or incident to blame Bitcoin, claiming that the cryptocurrency is somehow responsible for financing acts of terrorism.
That said, due to Bitcoin’s decentralized nature, as well as the relative anonymity built into cryptocurrencies, such transactions cannot really be regulated. In reality, if Bitcoin wasn’t used, some other method or foreign currency would be employed to procure what Washington deems to be ‘illicit’ goods and services.

BlackRock CEO celebrates SEC acceptance of Bitcoin ETF application, says crypto “will transcend international currencies”
by Ethan Huff, Natural News:
The head of the world’s largest asset manager has changed his mind on cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, which he opposed in 2017 but supports today.
Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, is making the media rounds in support of cryptos, arguing that they can “democratize” finance while “digitizing gold.” With United States regulators now considering the creation of an ETF directly linked to Bitcoin, Fink is suddenly all about cryptos, which he says have the potential to “revolutionize” finance.
