Imagine there was a public company. Let’s call it FunnyMoney Inc.

FunnyMoney didn’t do anything – it was just a share that people bought and sold. In short, a pubic company that only existed for the public to buy and sell its shares.

Yup, FunnyMoney did ZERO. It was just a share that people trade. And here is the first kicker: the hype is so intense that the market cap of all the shares in Funny Money Inc is around two trillion dollars.

People use this share to get drugs on the dark web, and pay assassins, and buy weapons, etc. This is all done anonymously and no government regulates the trade of FunnyMoney shares.

Yup, it is a free-for-all that has got a value of 2 trillion USD.

Yes, this is all hypothetical. How could this ever be a real thing … ?!

Another thing: it could all come tumbling down at any point but no one seems to care.

People send money from one country to another where there are exchange regulations, by trading FunnyMoney shares. It appears to have no rule of law. Just some kind of online just tech magic that bamboozles everyone, including the elderly, who want to buy FunnyMoney shares, because, well, the buzz is that it is a great investment. “It is all good” is what everyone says, including the US President. It must be a solid thing indeed!

And the craziest thing is that a tiny group of people hold 90% of the FunnyMoney shares and no one knows who these people are. Are they good, wholesome people? Who knows, and again, no one seems to care. As long as the money madness continues it is one big party. It is all just money money money.

There is one thing to keep in mind. For some technical reason (the subject of a future blog) the electricity required for the trade (transactions) of the FunnyMoney shares is very hectic, but again, who cares.

Now, think about Bitcoin for a moment. There is not much difference between this crypto front-runner and this hypothetical FunnyMoney story.

The truth about Bitcoin is that most transactions are about buying drugs and weapons and other illegal things. Circumventing exchange controls is another use case for Bitcoin. And for 99% of people it is a purely speculative investment fueled by nothing but hype. And Crypto gets even crazier and more hype fueled the further you get away from plain Bitcoin.

This new year ahead is going to be wild.

Stuff the fundamentals. It is time to party.

So keep on dancing, but make sure you are dancing very close to the door.

Trump is just warming up. That is my view. And unless he is stopped, he will not stop. The same as Putin.

Here are some postings I read online :

Wanna hear a joke?
International law.

Let’s be clear: the Trump Admin is lying to the American people. This has never been about stopping drugs from coming to the US — it’s about grabbing Venezuela’s oil for his billionaire buddies. Trump has put American troops in harm’s way to boost oil company profits. Outrageous.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from Epstein + skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Trump removed Maduro from power but is refusing to recognize Venezuela’s democratically elected president as the new president. Trump only wants to swap out an anti-American dictator with a pro-Trump dictator in Venezuela so he can take their oil. If you ever wondered what the United States would be like without a functioning Congress or Supreme Court, now you know.

Saddam wasn’t removed for ‘freedom’ – he started selling oil in Euros. Gaddafi wasn’t bombed for ‘human rights’ – he threatened the dollar with a gold-backed African currency. Maduro wasn’t targeted because of ‘democracy’- Venezuela dared to sell oil in Yuan and step outside U.S. financial control. Every time someone messes with the petrodollar, they magically become a dictator overnight. Call it what it is, racketeering with flags. ‘Liberation’ is what they sell to the evening news.

You know America has a huge problem when a quarter of the country went from worshiping GOD to worshiping a mentally unstable pedophile with the intellect of a rotten garden salad.

Mark Kelly is spot on. Like Trump, Nicolás Maduro is a despotic scumbag. By kidnapping Maduro, Trump just made the world infinitely more dangerous. The stupidity of Trump’s attack, kidnapping, occupation, and plundering and pillaging of Venezuela’s oil and natural resources cannot be understated. With Putin and Xi now seeing what they can get away with, the world is horrified.

I’m guessing we’re about to learn Greenland’s prime minister is also a narco-terrorist.

Whoever leaks the unredacted Epstein files in full might just end up saving the entire world.

Hear me out: Maybe it’s the United States that needs a regime change? Believing Trump bombed Venezuela to stop drug trafficking is like believing he redacted the Epstein files to protect the victims.

I have a 5 year old son. I wonder about the world he is going to grow up in. God knows how to guide him. I would like to teach him that honesty is the most important thing. Honest and integrity. But if I look at what is going in the modern world I don’t see much of that. What I do see is greed and bullshit.

Happy new year !

Please God peace comes this year.

“Donald Trump is not just a failure as a President, he is a failure as a human being.”

I read this text below on LinkedIn – I am sharing it here :

Putin called Trump yesterday morning. Said Ukraine hit his house with 91 drones.

Trump believed him. Got angry. Blamed Kyiv.

One problem.

Russia’s own Defense Ministry said 18 drones hit that region. Not 91.

Fourteen residents who live near Valdai told reporters they heard nothing. No explosions. No sirens. No alerts on their phones. Nothing. Zero photos of debris. Zero video. Zero evidence of any kind.

When a journalist asked Trump if maybe the attack never happened, he said “it’s possible too, I guess.”

But he’d already told the world he was furious at Ukraine.

The damage was done in fifteen minutes.

This is the real story everyone is missing.

Russia just ran a live test. They wanted to know if one phone call with zero proof could blow up months of peace negotiations.

It can.

Whatever security guarantees the US promises Ukraine, they now have an expiration date of exactly one Putin phone call. He picks up the phone, invents an attack, plays the victim, and watches the whole thing collapse.

No evidence required. No verification needed. Just vibes and outrage.

This will happen again. I’d bet money we see the exact same play within 90 days, timed to kill whatever deal gets closest to the finish line.

The 91 drones that never existed aren’t the story.

The story is that we just watched a proof of concept for how to destroy Western security commitments using nothing but a telephone and a lie.

And it worked perfectly.

This is how supposedly ironclad “security guarantees for Ukraine” would fall apart: one Russian false-flag operation — or just a lie (why even bother staging anything in this beautiful post-truth world) — and they’re gone.

Back in September of this year the Russians launched a missile into Ukraine’s Cabinet of Ministers building and attempted to assassinate Ukraine’s Prime Minister in her office. Why wasn’t Trump “very angry” about this?

“Trump isn’t the worst president in American history. Trump is the worst American in American history,”

Here are the facts:
– Russia is the aggressor and the criminal.
– Ukraine is the victim.
– Ukraine wants peace more than anyone.
– Security on the continent is important to Europe. There are very nice highways from the Ukrainian border towards Budapest, perfect for Russian tanks.
– Europe’s strength is in unity.
– Hoping for Putin’s mercy is a bad strategy. Everyone should fasten their seat-belts and rely on common sense.

Until Trump acknowledges that Putin started the war and that he did so without any justifiable cause, Trump can’t be taken seriously when it comes to diplomacy involving Ukraine.

Trump also constantly undermines Zelensky: “He’s always looking to purchase missiles. Listen, when you start a war, you gotta know you can win a war. You don’t start a war against somebody that’s 20 times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles.”

It is hard to take Trump seriously, but yes, he is the President of America, so everyone has to pander to him and his madness. But he is full of shit. And he is not honest. When people talk about corruption in Ukraine they should first look at America. Ukraine’s corruption problems are small potatoes compared with Trump and his family.

“Russians should be the ones to compromise,” Zelensky said, adding that in the current negotiations the US is effectively conveying Russia’s position, as there is no direct dialogue with Moscow. “We don’t have direct dialogue with Russia, and in talks with Americans, they essentially represent the Russian side by relaying their signals, demands, and readiness levels. From our side, we discuss with America both our bilateral security guarantees and our responses to Russian signals. So regarding compromises with Russia, if America or partners apply pressure, and if America wants to end this war as they’re currently demonstrating at high levels, I believe Russians should be the ones to compromise.”

European leaders will be responsible for the even greater catastrophe of Russia’s next war if they do not do everything now to guarantee Ukraine stops Russia. Russia will not stop, unless they are stopped. Why most people don’t see this is beyond me.

The challenge for Russia is that Putin cannot accept any peace that leaves 80% of Ukraine free and able to continue pursuing a European future. That would be seen in Moscow as a Russian defeat of historic proportions. He may agree to a pause – but the war will restart unless steps are taken to secure Ukraine.

The free world on one side, the US on the other :

A closing thought : If Russia isn’t a terrorist state, then who is … ?!

I reckon Paramount buys WB and CNN gets included in the deal. And then under pressure from Trump, all the journalists that Trump doesn’t like at CNN get fired.

I also reckon that 2026 is going to make 2025 look like a walk in the park. Trump is just warming up. No one is stopping him, and he feels he can do whatever he wants.

“In one of the most pathetic and humiliating moments in history, Trump just received a FIFA Peace Prize. They literally invented a “peace prize” to keep him happy after he didn’t receive the actual Nobel Peace Prize. Beyond parody.

At no point during the five-year span that Monty Python’s Flying Circus aired on the BBC, from October 1969 to December 1974, could the greatest comedic minds of their time come up with a skit more grotesquely absurd than Trump placing a fake peace-prize medal over his own head.”

“When my brother was 3, I used to give him an Xbox controller that wasn’t plugged in – but looked like it was – so he could pretend to play. FIFA doing the same thing to the president is wild.”

“Can’t wait for the FIFA Prize for Literature.”

The joke is still all on us because this maniac is not going anywhere soon.
