My team and I are reading through the omnibus bill today - all $1.7 trillion and 4,155 pages of it.
Follow along for some of the most egregious provisions in the bill ⬇️
1. TWITTER FILES: PART 7
The FBI & the Hunter Biden Laptop
How the FBI & intelligence community discredited factual information about Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings both after and *before* The New York Post revealed the contents of his laptop on October 14, 2020
The end of corporate journalism is now in sight.
If you want a quick writeup, ChatGPT will do it faster.
If you want original reporting, Twitter will do it cheaper.
And if you want serious fact checking, on-chain analysis will do it better.
Citizen journalism will win.

Something I've noticed in the past is episodes of low 30-day realized volatility have coincided with lows in the crypto market...
The magic level in BTC is 20%... every time it got there it was the cyclical low or preceded a larger leg higher in an early bull market. 1/
@StationCDRKelly I strongly disagree. Forcing your pronouns upon others when they didn’t ask, and implicitly ostracizing those who don’t, is neither good nor kind to anyone.
As for Fauci, he lied to Congress and funded gain-of-function research that killed millions of people. Not awesome imo.
“Lightning Node Operator” is the most important job title of this decade.
But when it comes to running a node, 99% of bitcoiners have no idea where to start.
