Oligarchs not happy with economic chaos
It's called between a rock and a hard place. If interest rates in Russia drop, inflation will increase, and the ruble will go even further down the toilet. It's the Ukraine war and sanctions doing it, and neither look like coming off the table. -

Who Is Controlling the Budget Bill? Trump, Johnson, or Musk?
You're totally wrong. https://theconversation.com/the-election-is-over-but-what-is-a-lame-duck-anyway-242377 The 2024 election has finally ended. What happens now? There’s a 2½-month period between Election Day and Inauguration Day. It’s commonly known as the “lame-duck” period, when the outgoing president still holds official power but their successor has been chosen and is waiting to take the reins. Donald Trump is constitutionally barred from a third term in office by the 22nd Amendment, so he will be a lame duck from his first day in office, though his successor will not be known until 2028. -

Bitcoin or Gold?
Bitcoin vs Gold USD vs Gold I own gold, silver and bitcoin. None of them to get rich quick. All of them as a partial hedge against governments' mismanagement/ mendacity. None of them are going to zero (I only became certain about that wrt BTC a few years ago). At the moment I choose gold over the others. BTC might "make more mathematical sense", but that's not enough to guarantee that gold won't be a part of any large scale currency revaluation/ dollar devaluation. Gold because of its 5000 year track record as money, on and off. It's not a good hedge against inflation if you compare it to a given CPI (even the manipulated official CPIs that are produced at the national level). While the BRICS might eventually use XRP somehow, it doesn't explain why China and Russia (and lately many other countries) are now building up their reserves of the "pet rock"/ "barbarous relic". Silver because of the current gold:silver ratio. Bitcoin because it has performed very well over the last 10-15 years and solves a lot of problems at the individual level. It is private, cryptographically secure money. It is a form of financial disintermediation. It isn't going to be made illegal (this has been tried a few times but it hasn't caught on) and I don't think it's going to zero. Hell, Trump might order the U.S.A. to buy a million of them (that is about 5% of all the ones mined so far).
