If we really want to reduce inflation, the most effective policy is to end the Federal Reserve. Thank you to @RepBrecheen for cosponsoring HR 1846, the Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act.

Israel hasn't released any of the child hostages it has kidnapped. Israel still holds 323 Palestinian children. 83% of them report being tortured. Pure evil.

¿Es verdad que Murray Rothbard dijo esto? "Los libertarios se oponen a todo Estado. Pero el Estado de Israel es singularmente pernicioso, porque toda su existencia se basa, y sigue basándose, en una expropiación masiva de propiedades y la expulsión del territorio."

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

Orange-pilling people is great but un-shitcoin-pilling them is even better.😍
Sending Gratitude to @saifedean He easily saved me thousands of dollars yesterday. I was HEAVY into alt coins before I read the Bitcoin/fiat standards. Immediately liquidated all of it and bought BTC (Cold storage) after. Yesterday was simply another buying opportunity

People voted for Trump to buy Bitcoin but he bought Aegentinian pesos instead. Is that what "budget neutral" looks like? Fell for it again 🥇
The @USTreasury has concluded 4 days of intensive meetings with Minister @LuisCaputoAR and his team in DC. We discussed Argentina’s strong economic fundamentals, including structural changes already underway that will generate significant dollar-denominated exports and foreign exchange reserves. Argentina faces a moment of acute illiquidity. The international community – including @IMFNews – is unified behind Argentina and its prudent fiscal strategy, but only the United States can act swiftly. And act we will. To that end, today we directly purchased Argentine pesos. Additionally, we have finalized a $20 billion currency swap framework with Argentina’s central bank. The U.S. Treasury is prepared, immediately, to take whatever exceptional measures are warranted to provide stability to markets. I emphasized to Minister Caputo that @POTUS @realDonaldTrump’s America First economic leadership is committed to strengthening our allies who welcome fair trade and American investment. I continue to hear from American business leaders who, thanks to President Milei’s leadership, are eager to tie the American and Argentine economies more closely together. The Trump administration is resolute in our support for allies of the United States, and to that end we also discussed Argentina’s investment incentives, and U.S. tools to powerfully support investment in our strategic partners. Minister Caputo informed me of his close coordination with the IMF on Argentina’s commitments under its program. Argentina’s policies, when anchored on fiscal discipline, are sound. Its exchange rate band remains fit for purpose. We reviewed the broad political consensus in Argentina for the second half of President @JMilei’s term. I was encouraged by their focus on achieving fiscally sound economic freedom for the people of Argentina via lower taxes, higher investment, private sector job creation, and partnering with allies. As Argentina lifts the dead weight of the state and stops spending into inflation, great things are possible. The success of Argentina’s reform agenda is of systemic importance, and a strong, stable Argentina which helps anchor a prosperous Western Hemisphere is in the strategic interest of the United States. Their success should be a bipartisan priority. I look forward to the meeting between President Trump and President Milei on October 14, and to seeing Minister Caputo again on the margins of the IMF Annual Meetings.

So the Argentine bailout wasn’t for Argentina as much as it was for a hedge fund friend of Scott Bessent. Rob Citrone a billionaire hedge fund guy who owns Discovery Capital, purchased Argentine debt and equity in numerous companies closely tied to the country’s overall economy. He made a bet that the economic policies would revitalize the economy. He was wrong and stood to lose his ass. This was nothing more than Crony Capitalism at the tax payers expense.
