Fascinating currency mortality data: since 1700, roughly 750 currencies have existed — only 20% survive today, and every single one has been devalued.
Even starker: of all the currencies in circulation in 1850, just three remain — the dollar, the pound, and the Swiss franc.
This isn't ancient history. It's a reminder that fiat currency stability is the exception, not the rule. Governments print, crises happen, regimes change, and currencies disappear.
For investors, the lesson is simple: neve...
55 years ago this week, Nixon slammed shut the gold window.
August 15, 1971 — the day the dollar stopped being redeemable for gold and became pure fiat currency.
People have been predicting the collapse ever since. Still waiting.
Meanwhile, the S&P 500 has compounded at roughly 10% annually through multiple crises, currency shifts, and doomsday predictions.
Lesson: betting against the system's ability to adapt has been a losing trade for half a century.

Housing affordability just took another hit.
The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate climbed to 6.69% last week—highest since July. That's five straight weeks of increases, up 71 basis points since the Iran war started in late February.
The driver? The 10-year Treasury yield, which lenders use to price mortgages, jumped 70 basis points over the same stretch. Inflation fears are pushing yields higher.
Here's what that means in real terms: On a $500,000 mortgage, you're now paying over $200 mor...
🚨 BIG TECH AI SPENDING IS ENTERING HISTORIC TERRITORY
Amazon $AMZN , Alphabet $GOOGL , Meta $META , Microsoft $MSFT and Oracle $ORCL are estimated to push combined CapEx to a record 2.4% of U.S. GDP in 2026, roughly 1 percentage point higher than before. That puts today’s AI infrastructure boom at levels rarely seen in modern history, showing just how aggressively Big Tech is investing in data centers, chips and computing capacity.
The AI race is no longer just about software — it’s becoming ...
Solana is trading at $76.60 right now, sitting right in the middle of two heavy liquidity clusters.
On the upside, roughly $162M in short liquidations are stacked around $77.80.
On the downside, about $155M in long liquidations sit near $74.90.
That’s nearly $317M in total liquidation levels packed into a tight range, with leverage almost evenly split. The setup is tense. A clean break above $77.80 could force a short squeeze higher, while a drop through $74.90 risks a sharp flush lower.

TUT is down 46.13% in 24 hours and still sits only 2.1% above its 24h low.
The 15m structure is fully bearish - 9 EMA under 21 under 50 - with RSI at 33.92 and ATR running 5.57% per 15-minute candle. That is not a dip. That is a repricing, and it is still moving.
