I don't post very much on here — but I will be posting even less in the future, as I am deleting the app off the device I use most often.

I will still have an account and I will still check in on BSky. Just, less frequently. Cheers.

BREAKING: Look at this.

A new crypto account was opened yesterday morning.

30 minutes BEFORE Trump's announcement of 100% tariffs on China, it added a huge multi-million dollar levered Bitcoin short position, per YF.

Market dumped.

The trader made a profit of $192 million in two hours.

Unusual.
