The team behind Trump's World Liberty Financial project has proposed lifting restrictions on the WLFI "governance token" to make it tradeable. I predicted shortly after its launch that if Trump succeeded in gutting the SEC, he would do this.

This would lift the substantial restrictions on the token (non-US or accredited investors only, locked tokens with no secondary sales) that were aimed at sidestepping attention from the previous SEC, and could be enormously lucrative for Trump.

#FBI used #bitcoin #wallet records to peg notorious #IntelBroker as #UK national


Source: theregister.com/2025/06/26/fbi…

The FBI connected this wallet to an earlier Ramp account registered using a UK driver's license in the name "Kai Logan West." That driver's license was also associated with a #Coinbase account, registered by West but under his "Kyle Northern" alias.

Both the Ramp and Coinbase accounts used West's personal #email address, the FBI says.

'Not going to tell you,' Bondi flips out & refuses to answer after being pressed by Sen Merkley.

On Trump's #crypto scheme, AG Bondi became angry & refused to answer Qs on whether foreign influence is affecting decisions being made by Trump.

"Many folks who attended this dinner were buying those claims bc they wanted to influence policy." He listed suspicious foreign characters at the dinner. ā€œDon't you think the American people have a right to know?"

#bitcoin transaction processing (ā€œminingā€) output¹ just fell off a cliff after the U.S. bombed #iran.

remember, the perfect use case for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is as a medium of exchange between a small cabal of fascist kleptocratic states that don’t trust each other. that’s why russia, iran, and north korea are all so big on bitcoin.

here's an article summing up the known history of iran's bitcoin mining operations: ncr-iran.org/en/publications/s…

¹ maybe more properly described as ā€œoutputā€, with scare quotes (it’s really a measure of the amount of energy wasted per bitcoin transaction)

Newsletter: Issue 86 – State power sponsored by Coinbase

Coinbase’s sponsorship of Trump’s military parade angered some in the crypto world, who described the move as ā€œdeeply disturbingā€ and ā€œan insult to everything our industry stands forā€. But this is only the latest example of crypto companies aligning with state power.

Earlier this month, the cryptocurrency firm Ripple made a $9.4 million contribution to the San Francisco Police Department to fund a surveillance center outfitted with drones. ā€œWe’re going to be covering the entire city with drones,ā€ enthused a SFPD Captain about the donation.

Acc to White House financial report, #Trump Raked in $57.3 Million From #Crypto Venture Meme Coin.

#CorporateAmerica did its part. ā€œSpecial thanks to our sponsor #LockheedMartin,ā€the MC said ~6:30PM, shouting out America's biggest #defense contractor. The MC later thanked ā€œour special sponsor Coinbase,ā€the #cryptocurrency exchange. #Trump sure loves #crypto he reported in his financial disclosure Friday that he made $57 million in the final months of 2024 after he and his family launched their own crypto exchange, #WorldLibertyFinancial. (That was before he launched his own $TRUMP #memecoin.)


I feel as if #Bitcoin / #crypto was the final blow to destroy our planet and ā€œ#AIā€ was the final blow to destroy our capability to communicate and think.
