  • Generations Betrayed: Why People Are Turning to Gold and Bitcoin The recent rise in gold and bitcoin prices reveals more than market dynamics—it reflects a quiet awakening to the centuries-old fraud of fiat money. The Fraud of Fiat: How Inflation Became Accepted Theft Isn’t it curious how people reminisce about the past, casually recalling that a candy bar once cost 50 cents—as if prices rising over time were some cosmic inevitability? Rarely does anyone interrupt this nostalgia to point out that what they’ve witnessed is not nature’s doing but a calculated deception that has endured for generations. Generations Betrayed: Why People Are Turning to Gold and Bitcoin Between 1913 to 2023, or 110 years, the U.S. dollar lost 96.7% of its purchasing power. $1 in 2025 only buys about 3.1% of what it could buy in 1913, meaning its value has declined to roughly $0.03 in 1913 terms. What happens at zero? Inflation is not an accident. It is not the result of mysterious market forces beyond comprehension. It is a deliberate consequence of a system designed to dilute the value of money by allowing the supply of currency to grow faster than the production of actual goods and services. That is its only definition and inflation’s only cause. Meanwhile, technology—man’s tool for mastery over nature—has made production faster, cheaper, and more efficient than ever before. So why should prices rise, if not because someone is tampering with the money? And yet, society accepts this ongoing theft with a shrug. They repeat “back in my day” like a lullaby, blind to the confession hidden in their nostalgia: that they have been robbed. Robbed by political and banking institutions, they were taught to trust. The government has drained their wealth slowly, silently, and with cold precision. The central bank has engineered this betrayal in plain sight, not just once, but over generations since its creation. This is the moral context in which we must understand the gravitation toward gold, now priced at $3,356 per ounce, and bitcoin, trading over $109,000 per coin at 10 a.m. Eastern time on Friday. These are not mere commodities—they are acts of defiance. They represent a growing recognition of what hard money truly means: money that cannot be conjured out of political convenience or central planning. Money backed by scarcity, rooted in objective value, and immune to manipulation. Gold and bitcoin are not relics of the past or speculative whims of the future; they are the direct consequence of a moral rebellion. They reflect a refusal to be enslaved by a dishonest monetary regime. People are not just seeking safety—they are seeking justice. Both gold and bitcoin possess a rare and powerful attribute in a world dominated by centralized authority: they are fundamentally resistant to censorship and manipulation. Gold, by its very nature, is a physical asset beyond the reach of political decree. It cannot be printed, duplicated, or forged into existence. It requires effort—mining, refining, and safeguarding. No bureaucrat can simply will more gold into circulation with a signature. Bitcoin, though digital, is governed by the same principle of incorruptibility. Its code is public, its supply is fixed, and its network is decentralized—run by thousands of independent nodes and miners across the globe. No single government, institution, or cartel can alter its issuance schedule or freeze a transaction without consensus from a global community. In Bitcoin, the main consensus rules are transparent and immutable; they apply equally to all. This is why these hard assets matter—not merely as alternatives, but as lifelines for economic integrity. They represent systems that refuse to bend to coercion, cronyism, or inflationary deceit. They are the financial instruments of free men and women, the individual who demands the right to own, trade, and save without begging permission. When a monetary system can be twisted to serve political interests, it ceases to serve the people. In contrast, gold and bitcoin offer a realm where voluntary exchange, property rights, and objective value still prevail. To understand them is to understand freedom itself. The flight to hard money is not about profits. It is about principle. It is a sign that individuals are waking up to a truth that has long been obscured by jargon, bureaucracy, and lies: that the only way to fix the world is to fix the money.
  • Bond Yields Continue to Soar as Markets Eye Trouble, Bitcoin and Gold Shine Jamie Redman Bond Yields Continue to Soar as Markets Eye Trouble, Bitcoin and Gold Shine Markets are flashing warning signs as long-term U.S. Treasury yields spike, bond auctions falter, and prediction markets show rising odds of economic trouble ahead. Treasury Market Signals Mounting Fiscal Anxiety The 30-year U.S. Treasury bond yield surged to 5.18% on Thursday—its highest point since 2023—before easing slightly later in the session. The benchmark 10-year yield also climbed, hitting 4.593%. These movements have significant implications for borrowing costs across the economy, especially as they come on the heels of a weak 20-year bond auction and rising concerns about U.S. fiscal health. Bond Yields Continue to Soar as Markets Eye Trouble, Bitcoin and Gold Shine The May 21 auction of $16 billion in 20-year bonds was met with tepid demand, producing a high yield of 5.047%—above pre-auction expectations. The bid-to-cover ratio fell to 2.46, the lowest since February, signaling softer investor appetite. The outcome sparked a market reaction: yields on 20-year bonds jumped to 5.127%, stocks slid, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped nearly 800 points on Wednesday. The Dow and three other major U.S. indexes remained flat on Thursday. Investor sentiment has been rattled by mounting U.S. debt levels, an ongoing debate over a new tax-and-spending package, and recent credit downgrades by Moody’s, Fitch and Standard & Poor’s. These concerns appear to be weighing heavily on confidence in long-term U.S. fiscal stability, with some traders demanding higher returns to hold government debt. Prediction markets are also signaling rising anxiety. According to Polymarket, traders now place a 40% probability on a U.S. recession in 2025—a 21 percentage point jump in recent weeks. That figure reflects growing fears that higher borrowing costs, tariff-related inflation, and government spending risks could trigger an economic contraction. Despite these signals, Polymarket speculators expect the Federal Reserve to keep rates unchanged in June. Polymarket odds show a 92% chance the Fed holds steady, with only a 7% chance of a 25 basis point cut and less than 1% odds of either a larger cut or rate hike. Bond Yields Continue to Soar as Markets Eye Trouble, Bitcoin and Gold Shine On Thursday, bitcoin ( BTC) tapped exactly $112,000 on Bitstamp, reaching an all-time price high. Reports noted, however, that foreign investors showed solid participation in the latest bond sale, accounting for 69% of indirect bids. But the 20-year bond’s lower liquidity and benchmark status compared to 10- or 30-year maturities may have added to the weaker overall demand. Bond Yields Continue to Soar as Markets Eye Trouble, Bitcoin and Gold Shine Gold has risen 2% against the U.S. dollar over the last week. As borrowing costs rise and fiscal pressures mount, both markets and forecasting tools are hinting that the economic foundation may be less stable than it appears. Meanwhile, both bitcoin and gold have held their ground in the aftermath of the lackluster 20-year Treasury auction—gold gleaming in its usual safe-haven role, while bitcoin proved sturdier than stocks, even if its path was a bit bumpier. Gold’s climb to record highs and bitcoin’s knack for dodging steep drops amid market chaos hint that both assets are managing the economic jitters with surprising poise, though they carry distinctly different levels of risk.

  • Russia Prepares Bill to Streamline Confiscation of Digital Assets Russia is preparing a bill that would specify the requirements and procedures for the confiscation of digital assets, taking into account the specific circumstances surrounding these actions. The Russian Ministry of Justice emphasized that anonymity and the lack of centralized control over these assets have hampered these efforts. Russia to Introduce Bill Specifying Procedures to Confiscate Digital Assets Russia is advancing in the digital assets regulation, preparing a bill that would regulate the confiscation of these assets. At the 13th St. Petersburg International Legal Forum, while examining the impact of new technologies in crime, the Ministry of Justice revealed that this bill would specify the procedures and considerations needed to expedite the seizure of these assets. Deputy Minister of Justice of the Russian Federation Vadim Fedorov explained that the bill would classify these assets as property for arrest and confiscation purposes. Furthermore, Fedorov declared: At the same time, it is proposed to establish special requirements aimed at ensuring its safety – taking into account the characteristics of a specific [digital] currency. These special requirements would include confiscating physical devices holding the keys to wallets involved in criminal activities, like hardware wallets, and asking courts to enact bans on transactions. “Specialists are planned to be involved in the relevant procedural actions, who will determine the set of necessary measures to ensure the safety of digital currency for subsequent confiscation or settlement of the victims’ claims,” Fedorov clarified, detailing the procedures to be followed in the context of crimes involving digital assets. Nonetheless, Fedorov acknowledged the challenges of tackling the seizure of digital assets, given the specific circumstances of their custody. These circumstances also make them attractive to criminals due to the lack of centralized control surrounding them. “Digital currency cannot be physically seized and placed in a safe, as is the case with cash and valuables,” he recognized. The measures would be focused on dealing with local cryptocurrency threat actors and come after enacting other cryptocurrency laws that seek to establish clear rules surrounding the use of digital assets in the country.

  • Major Crypto Firms Spending Millions on Personal Security Coinbase, Circle, and Robinhood are spending millions to ensure the security of their top executives as crypto becomes mainstream and criminals begin targeting crypto millionaires. The recent wave of kidnappings in France has heightened the interest of crypto holders in personal security options. Crypto Firms Increase Personal Security Spending Amid Kidnapping Wave The cryptocurrency ecosystem is becoming increasingly dangerous for individuals who are publicly known to hold significant fortunes in digital assets. Leading firms are already addressing these concerns, having spent millions to secure their executives from such incidents. Filings show that Coinbase invested over $6 million in the security of Brian Armstrong, its co-founder and CEO, in 2024. Similarly, Circle reported $800,000 in security expenses for its CEO, Jeremy Allaire, while trading platform Robinhood has spent $1.6 million to secure its co-founder and CEO, Vlad Tenev. But the current wave of kidnappings in France, which has affected several crypto moguls, including Ledger co-founder David Balland and the daughter of the CEO of Paymium, a French crypto exchange, has shaken less privileged crypto holders too. Read more: Ledger Co-Founder Kidnapped and Released After Intense Rescue Mission Bloomberg reported that Jethro Pijlman, managing director at Infinite Risks International, a firm that provides personal security solutions to crypto holders in Amsterdam, has noted a rise in inquiries about this kind of service. He declared: We’ve had more inquiries, more long-term clients, and more proactive requests from crypto investors who don’t want to be caught off guard. They’re realizing that intelligent security measures are part of the cost of doing business at this level. The recent data leak affecting 1% of Coinbase’s customers, where names, addresses, ID scans, transactions, and balances were delivered to threat actors, might also exacerbate the demand for these services. Read more: Coinbase Data Breach: Rogue Agents Leak User Info, $20M Hunt Begins Analysts recommend that cryptocurrency holders avoid revealing their crypto affiliations to reduce the risk of becoming victims of physical attacks. Nonetheless, the number of these crimes is likely to continue increasing due to the characteristics of tokens and blockchain technology. “Cryptocurrency can be transferred with just a private key, and is extremely difficult to recover. This makes crypto traders prime targets for criminals,” assessed Ronghui Gu, co-founder of crypto security firm Certik.
