Trump leaves G7 early as Israel-Iran crisis escalates 😨

President Trump is cutting his G7 trip short and flying back to DC tonight. The White House says it’s because of the unfolding situation in the Middle East.

😨 Israeli strikes have reportedly wiped out parts of Khamenei’s inner circle. Iran has not returned to the negotiating table.

🇫🇷 Macron stated that the US had offered to meet with Iranian officials to negotiate. Trump has now turned on Tucker Carlson and claimed that 'America First' can also mean doing everything to not let Iran get nukes.

Chinese Embassy in Israel advises Chinese citizens to leave Israel through land border crossings as soon as possible 😨

Why Traders Obsess Over the Fed and How to Track It 🔍

The Federal Reserve is the central bank of the United States. Its most powerful tool is the federal funds rate, which is the short-term interest rate banks charge each other. This rate influences all borrowing costs in the economy — from mortgages to business loans.

⬆️ When the Fed raises rates, borrowing gets more expensive and liquidity tightens. That usually puts pressure on stocks and crypto. Lower rates make money cheaper, encourage risk-taking, and often send prices higher. That’s why rate changes affect your crypto bags more than you think.

Tomorrow, on June 18, the Fed will announce its next rate decision. Traders expect no changes. Here’s what the market is pricing in, according to CME FedWatch Tool:

⏺ June 18 — 99.8% chance of no change

⏺ July 30 — 87.5% chance of no change

⏺ September 17 — 57.9% chance of 0.25% cut and 7.6% chance of 0.50% cut

FedWatch Tool by CME tracks these probabilities using interest rate futures. It gives traders a real-time view of how markets expect the Fed to act.

Crypto is sensitive to rate expectations because liquidity fuels speculation 👇

Let’s say traders expect a 0.25% cut with 60% probability, but the Fed goes for a 0.50% cut instead.

🕯 Markets would likely go wild. Stocks and crypto could pump hard, depending on how unexpected this decision was and what Fed Chair says during the press conference.

Iranian exchange Nobitex hacked for $48M 💰

One of Iran’s largest crypto exchanges, Nobitex, was hacked for $48 million in user funds. The attacker moved the stolen assets to this TRON address:

TRON wallets allow vanity prefixes, and the hacker used it to send a clear message. It insults the IRGC (Iran’s Revolutionary Guard), labels them terrorists, and mocks Nobitex 🤣

Nasdaq valuations are outpacing money supply growth 😮

At the start of 2025, Nasdaq market cap hit 142% of M2 — the highest ratio on record. The last time it came close was during the Dot Com bubble peak in early 2000.

🔼 This spike has been driven almost entirely by a small group of AI-related mega-cap tech stocks. Broader participation remains weak.

M2 saw its first annual contraction since the Great Depression in 2023. It has started to recover, but the growth rate remains below long-term averages.

Without sustained M2 expansion, this level of market cap relative to liquidity is difficult to support. I'm not saying that the top is in for tech stocks but it's been so overheated only one time in history... 💣

Trump Really Hates the Fed Chair 🤬

Trump is on a full-blown warpath against Jerome Powell.

He’s furious that the Fed hasn’t slashed rates already — and he's made it very clear why:

📉 Lower rates mean cheaper debt, a pumped stock market, and a strong setup for the midterm elections. Trump knows this, and he's not hiding his frustration.

Some of his recent quotes are wild 🤣

🔴“Jerome Powell is a FOOL, who doesn’t have a clue.”

🔴“Too Late, Too Late Powell… It’s like talking to a wall.”

🔴“He’s a numbskull… I may have to force something.”

🔴“Maybe I should go to the Fed. Am I allowed to appoint myself at the Fed?”

🔴“Truly one of the dumbest, and most destructive, people in Government.”

But here’s the kicker: Trump can’t fire him. The Fed Chair serves a 4-year term, and legally, presidents can’t remove him for policy disagreements.

So for now, he’s stuck screaming on Truth Social while Jerome Powell, currently in his second term, will stay in place until May 15, 2026 🤷‍♀️

16 billion credentials leaked in ongoing mega breach 💻

Analysts discovered 30 active data leaks, exposing a total of 16 billion credentials — most of them fresh, stolen by infostealer malware.

🔑 It includes recent usernames, passwords, session tokens, cookies, and metadata. All packaged in structured formats, perfect for automated credential stuffing and phishing at scale.

The data was left exposed through misconfigured cloud storage. It covered everything from Google and Apple IDs to Telegram, GitHub, VPNs, etc.

One of the datasets alone had 3.5B Portuguese-language entries. Another had 60M Telegram accounts.

😱 For crypto users, the risk is especially high. Anyone storing seed phrases in the cloud, or relying on password-only wallets, is exposed.

Take action 👇

⏺Change your passwords, starting with email and finance.

⏺Use Multi-factor authentication.

⏺Don’t reuse passwords.

⏺Consider passkeys.

⏺Revoke third-party access on old accounts.

💸 Mexico’s Bitcoin Billionaire Buys the Dip

Ricardo Salinas Pliego just loaded up on more Bitcoin — again. He is the third-richest man in Mexico and he's not trying to time the market.

📈 Ricardo is already 70% in BTC, he says he’s “edging closer” to going all in.

While others panic over Middle East tensions and a 7% pullback, Salinas is doubling down. His take? Bitcoin > gold. Fiat = scam 😎

Inflation is just another tax. You don't vote on it. You just pay it 😱

Governments inflate the money supply. Prices rise. Your savings buy less.

📊 The OECD now projects inflation across developed countries will stay elevated well into 2026. Even if it "cools" in relative terms, it's still compounding losses year after year.

You might not notice it month to month, but over time the damage adds up. Here's a real-world example:

🤔 Imagine you saved 41,000,000 Colombian pesos, about $10,000 today.

You held it in cash for a decade as your emergency fund while annual inflation averaged 4.5%.

🤔 After 10 years your money retains only about 63.1% of its purchasing power.

That's over 15 million pesos gone while you didn’t spend a single peso...

How to Become Poor 🤔

Most advice out there tells you how to get rich. But that’s only half the picture. If you don’t also know what not to do — the habits, choices, and mindsets that lead straight to poverty — you’re playing with one eye closed.

This post is about the other side. The proven steps for going broke fast (or staying broke forever). Study them carefully — and avoid at all costs 👇

1️⃣Always spend more than you earn. Use loans for everyday stuff. The higher the interest, the better. Payday loans, microcredit apps — perfect.

2️⃣Avoid learning anything about money. Don’t ask how banks work or what inflation is. Assume it's all too complicated or just a scam.

3️⃣Never invest. Keep all your money in cash or on a debit card. Markets are scary and hard.

4️⃣Live on one income. If something goes wrong, cross your fingers. Don’t bother learning new skills or looking for side income.

5️⃣Buy things to impress people. Clothes, gadgets, cars — even if you can’t afford them. Image over logic.

6️⃣Waste your free time. Watch shows, scroll endlessly. Learning something new is for nerds.

7️⃣Avoid taking responsibility. Blame your boss, the economy, your parents — anyone but yourself.

8️⃣And finally: drink often, gamble, try drugs, ignore your health, and surround yourself with poor people who do the same. That’s the real poverty accelerator.

Stick to this and success (in staying broke) is guaranteed ❗️

Texas Creates Official State Bitcoin Reserve 🟠

Texas just signed SB 21 into law. The state will now hold Bitcoin in a strategic reserve managed by the comptroller.

A Bitcoin advisory committee is also being formed to guide strategy.

One more step in Bitcoin becoming part of public financial infrastructure. This is big 🐂

Bitcoin drops below $100,000 after Iranian Parliament approved closure of the Strait of Hormuz in response to US strikes 📉

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil transit route, can disrupt global oil supply, spike energy prices 📈

This will increase geopolitical tensions, and trigger market volatility because about 20% of the world’s oil supply transits the Strait of Hormuz each day 🛢

DRILL, BABY, DRILL 🛢

Trump lit up Truth Social with a blunt order:

“KEEP OIL PRICES DOWN. I’M WATCHING.”

The timing is no coincidence. Six supertankers have already turned away from the Strait of Hormuz after new U.S. strikes on Iran. That waterway moves 20% of the world’s seaborne crude, so any pause there adds an instant risk premium to Brent price 📈

Trump’s math is simple. A $10 move in Brent adds roughly $0.25 to a gallon of U.S. gas. Higher pump prices hit voters, push headline inflation up, and lock the Fed into higher rates. Cheap fuel is a campaign promise he cannot lose.

His playbook: talk prices down, accelerate shale permits, and threaten another Strategic Petroleum Reserve release to keep Brent near $70 and U.S. gas below $3.50.

That's why in his today's post addressing the U.S. Department of Energy he said:

"DRILL, BABY, DRILL!!! And I mean NOW!!!"

🇷🇺 Across the table, President of Russia, Vladimir Putin is urging OPEC plus to keep supply tight. Russian oil revenue still covers roughly 30% of the federal budget, and costs of war with Ukraine are climbing. Moscow needs oil prices to go up to avoid deeper borrowing.

The funny thing is that, although Iran is an ally of Russia, Russia has an interest in escalating the conflict with Israel and the U.S. in order to push Iran to close the Strait of Hormuz. This would inevitably lead to an oil supply shock and big price pump 🧠

President Trump announced ceasefire between Israel and Iran 🤝

"CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE..."

🤷‍♀️ Well, that was fast. Fear was quickly replaced by greed, with markets actively rising on this positive news

I hope you bought the dip 📈

Cup and Handle Pattern: How to Spot and Trade It 🕯

The Cup and Handle is one of the most recognized bullish continuation patterns in technical analysis. It appears during uptrends and suggests that after a short pause, the price might break out and move higher.

☕️ The "cup" part of the pattern is a rounded, U-shaped bottom. It shows a period where buyers slowly regain control after a downtrend, leading to a retest of previous highs. This part should not be too steep — ideally, it's a smooth curve with a healthy correction.

After the cup is formed, the "handle" follows. It’s a short-term consolidation or pullback that usually takes the form of a small descending channel or triangle. This part shakes out weak hands and traps early breakout buyers 😱

📈 The pattern is confirmed when the price breaks above the handle’s resistance with a strong candle and volume increase. This is usually the signal to enter a long position.

To avoid fakeouts, many wait for a daily close above the breakout level and use a stop-loss below the handle's low 🧠

The World’s Poorest Economies 📊

GDP per capita is just total output divided by number of people. Low numbers flag economies that don’t create much value per person.

South Sudan tops the list with just $300 per person per year in economic output. India ranks as the 50th poorest by GDP per capita 🇮🇳

🌍 Most spots on the chart sit in Sub-Saharan Africa where war, weak courts, and commodity dependence keep capital away and industry thin. Small Pacific islands show up too because isolation and tiny markets drive costs up and diversification down.

Big countries like India or Nigeria appear for a different reason: huge populations dilute growing output, so the average still looks poor even if the economy is growing fast 🔍

A Growing Crisis in the Making 📈

The U.S. added $13 trillion in debt since 2020. To put that in perspective: it took over 200 years for U.S. debt to reach $12 trillion. Now, the government adds nearly a $1 trillion of debt every 3-4 months. Today, the U.S. national debt is at $37,02 trillion.

💲In the global beauty contest, the dollar is just the least ugly candidate. But despite being the world’s strongest fiat currency, the dollar is slowly becoming a symbol of inflation and fiscal recklessness.

😂 What does this mean for you? While the dollar still dominates global trade, its purchasing power is fading. Inflation eats into your savings whether you notice or not.

This is why smart people hedge. Diversify. Get exposure to assets that can’t be printed. Businesses, precious metals, land, Bitcoin... Anything is better than worthless promises 💳
