We moeten het hebben over Prometheus en Hyperion. Dan denk je misschien aan personages uit Transformers, maar het zijn toch écht de nieuwe projecten van Meta. Het moederbedrijf van Facebook wil namelijk gigantische datacenters met die namen bouwen. Datacenters waar Meta volgens eigen zeggen honderden miljarden dollars aan wil uitgeven. Mark Zuckerberg heeft een missie en dat is dat zijn Meta de AI-kampioen wordt. Hij wil de achterstand op bedrijven als Microsoft ombuigen in een voorsprong. Deze aflevering kijken we of dat niet ten koste gaat van de financiën van het bedrijf. Betalen beleggers niet zijn nieuwe fiasco?Hebben we het ook over Nvidia. Het is topman Jensen Huang gelukt: hij heeft exportrestricties weggewerkt. Van de Trump-regering mag hij bepaalde chips nu tóch naar China exporteren. Leuk voor hem, maar het lijkt erop dat Trump hiermee de Chinezen machtiger maakt. Machtig mooi zijn ook de kwartaalcijfers van drie grote Amerikaanse banken. JP Morgan, Citigroup en Wells Fargo komen met goede cijfers, al zitten er wel wat schoonheidsfoutjes in. Ook moeten beleggers een flinke waarschuwing verwerken van JP Morgan-baas Jamie Dimon. Die waarschuwt voor een waslijst aan slecht nieuws.

This week, we plunge headfirst into the moral void—starting with Cristiano Ronaldo, who just inked another Saudi contract big enough to make oil executives blush and human rights quietly weep. Then we introduce the world's most jealous woman, a walking red flag with night vision goggles and a court order pending. Ever wondered which profession cheats the most? We've got the stats—and let's just say your next physical might include an emotional scar. Finally, BlackRock is suing UnitedHealthcare in a corporate Thunderdome so savage, even Satan called it “a bit much.”Grab your headphones, hide your spouse, and prepare to lose a little more faith in humanity.

Buy Bitcoin NOW — Before This HappensShow Notes:Bitcoin is being quietly accumulated by the same institutions, corporations, and governments that once mocked it. ETFs alone now hold over 1.4 million BTC. BlackRock's IBIT has become one of their top revenue-generating funds, surpassing their flagship S&P 500 ETF.MicroStrategy holds nearly 600,000 BTC, and the number of public companies with Bitcoin on their balance sheet has doubled in the last year. Meanwhile, governments like the U.S., Iran, Bhutan, and El Salvador are building strategic reserves. The U.S. now leads with over 200,000 BTC and has forbidden the sale of its holdings.Altogether, nearly half of all Bitcoin is either lost, unspendable, or in long-term institutional hands. As supply tightens and geopolitical competition ramps up, the window for retail investors is closing fast.Buy Bitcoin now—before it's owned by everyone but you.Get intouch with Myles at mylesdhillon@gmail.com

09th July

Andrew Pollard, President and CEO of Blackrock Silver (TSX.V:BRC – OTCQX:BKRRF), joins me to discuss the final set of assay results released from its Resource Expansion Program showing significant width and high-grade silver and gold drill intercepts in step-out drilling at its 100% owned Tonopah West Project in Nevada, United States.     Blackrock's resource expansion program at Tonopah West, which commenced in September 2024, consisted of 18 drillholes totalling 10,802 meters (35,438 feet) of drilling, targeted expansion potential along a one-kilometer northwest trend between the Denver-Paymaster and Bermuda-Merten vein groups ("DPB") south resource area and the Northwest (NW) Step Out resource area.   HIGHLIGHTS:   TXC25-144 cut 10.12 metres grading 467 grams per tonne (g/t) silver equivalent (AgEq) (283 g/t silver (Ag) & 2 g/t gold (Au)), including 3.51 metres of 1,020 g/t AgEq (620 g/t Ag & 4.43 g/t Au); TXC25-145 encountered multiple zones of high-grade mineralization which included 0.67 metres of 3,264 g/t AgEq (2,008 g/t Ag & 13.93 g/t Au) within 11.58 metres grading 327 g/t AgEq (186 g/t Ag & 1.56 g/t Au) and 2.32 metres grading 401 g/t AgEq (242 g/t Ag & 1.76 g/t Au); TXC25-153 drilled 0.7 metres of 724 g/t AgEq (437 g/t Ag & 3.18 g/t Au) within 5.73 metres of 156 g/t AgEq (96 g/t Ag & 0.67 g/t Au); Step-out drilling has established continuity of high-grade gold & silver mineralization over significant widths that runs 500 metres along drill-defined strike from the existing DPB resource shell to the northwest; and Targeting is now underway to bridge mineralization on remaining 500 metres of vein corridor to NW Step Out resource area.   We review that in addition to higher confidence ounces, where there is now tighter drill spacing and ounces are going to be moving into the measured and indicated categories from inferred, that the resources will be growing in size, raising the overall high-grade deposit to even higher average grades, and there is more up-dip mineralization that will be factoring into the early year economics of the Project.     These various data points will be incorporated into the upcoming updated resource estimate incorporating the M&I drilling due out by September, and then there will be a second resource update early next year that incorporates all the expansion drilling towards the NorthWest Step Out, and the Eastern Expansion area off DPB South towards the Ohio mine area.   After both resources have been released, then all of that data, combined with recent hydrology work, permitting work, and other derisking will be factored into an updated PEA.   We wrap up discussing the larger vision to get permitted to go underground and start working a trial mining study, where the bulk sample should be sizeable, and will verify assumptions on geology, ground conditions, recovery rates, and will be a payable event from the processed mineralized material.  These various catalysts are all opportunities for the company to rerate higher, in addition to just rerating more in alignment with the metrics the handful of other high-grade silver peers are receiving at present.     If you have any follow up questions for Andrew regarding Blackrock Silver, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is shareholder of Blackrock Silver at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to visit the Blackrock Silver website to read over the recent news we discussed.

In fact, his contributions were so not “insane” that the hedge fund was about to fire him before he chose to leave of his own accord.”Greenlight's alleged former head of macro is hoping to get at least $5 million from David Einhorn, claiming age discrimination"Mr. Einhorn dismissively told Mr. Fishback that his compensation was 'a lot of money for a kid,'" the filing states, and Fishback argues the comment "demonstrates that Defendants' decision about Mr. Fishback's compensation was driven largely by his age — a protected characteristic."Tech founders call on Sequoia Capital to denounce VC Shaun Maguire's Mamdani commentsMaguire, an outspoken supporter of President Trump, posted on X over the weekend that Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani “comes from a culture that lies about everything.”WHO DO YOU BLAME?Shaun Maguire: “My whole life I've sought out people that I think are really talented but a little bit off the radar.”Shaun Maguire: “[E]ven more important to me is someone that's just irrationally motivated.

And Another Thing With Dave, by Dave SmithIn this episode of And Another Thing With Dave, the conversation dives headfirst into the disillusionment with American politics. Dave and his guest explore the frustrating similarities between Republicans and Democrats, the corporatization of government, and the myth that voters are being offered a real choice.Key Topics Covered:False Dichotomy of U.S. Politics Both Trump and Biden are portrayed as different sides of the same corrupt coin—puppets of corporate interests and the military-industrial complex.Government Doesn't Work for the People The hosts argue that the government has evolved to serve the elite, not the citizens, with corporations like BlackRock and Vanguard pulling the strings.Media Manipulation and Manufactured Consent Media outlets are criticized for pushing divisive narratives while ignoring the bipartisan consensus on war, corporate welfare, and censorship.Trump's Theater and the Real Agenda Trump's showmanship is discussed as a distraction—masking his alignment with the establishment on key issues like deregulation and tax breaks for the rich.Biden's Failures and Democratic Complicity Biden is called out for backtracking on promises, like canceling student loan debt and protecting abortion rights, and for enabling war and surveillance just as much as Republicans.Where's the Real Change? The hosts discuss how grassroots movements and third-party candidates are systematically suppressed, keeping the population trapped in a binary that benefits the elite."They don't care which puppet we vote for, as long as we keep playing their game."Thank you for tuning in!If you are digging what I am doing, and picking up what I'm putting down, please follow, subscribe, and share the podcast on social media and with friends.

I know some of you are tired of hearing about Bitcoin and digital currencies. That's not what this week's show is about. This week's podcast conversation is broader—it touches the entire global economy. But…you just can't talk about macroeconomic trends anymore without talking about digital dollars and Bitcoin. Leaving them out today would be like ignoring gold when discussing commodities. There's a section this week in my interview with Ian Reynolds that dives deep into the bond market and the growing influence of stablecoins. And I realized—it might be helpful to give you a bit of context up front. If you're already familiar, consider this a refresher. If not, this will make the second half of our conversation a lot more useful. Let's start with the 10-year U.S. Treasury—arguably the most important interest rate in the world. This one number influences everything from mortgage rates to stock valuations to how much it costs the government to borrow money. Historically, when inflation drops, yields on the 10-year tend to fall as well. That's the standard relationship: lower inflation usually leads to lower yields. But that's not what's happening right now. Despite a year of cooling inflation, the 10-year Treasury yield has stayed surprisingly high. Why? The answer boils down to supply and demand. On the supply side, the U.S. government is flooding the market with Treasuries—over a trillion dollars' worth every quarter—to finance its growing deficits. That's a lot of new bonds entering the market. At the same time, demand isn't keeping up. Foreign central banks like China and Japan, which used to be some of the biggest buyers of our debt, are pulling back. Some are dealing with their own domestic issues. Others are deliberately reducing their exposure to the dollar as a reaction to U.S. foreign policy over the past year. So: more supply, less demand—what happens? Bond prices go down, resulting in higher yields for bond investors. That, in turn, means higher borrowing costs for everyone—including the U.S. government, businesses, and consumers. That's why, even with inflation falling, the 10-year hasn't followed the script. But here's where things get interesting. A new kind of buyer has started stepping in: stablecoin issuers. Stablecoins—like USDC and Tether—are digital tokens pegged to the U.S. dollar. They've become essential plumbing for the crypto economy, but their growth is increasingly relevant to the broader financial system. Why? Because in order to maintain their dollar peg, these companies need to back their coins with something stable—and that “something” is often short-term U.S. Treasuries. It turns out, that's a great business to be in. These stablecoin issuers collect real dollars, turn around, and invest them in T-bills yielding 5% or more. That spread—between what they earn and what they pay out—is pure profit. It's essentially a 21st-century version of a money market fund, just running on blockchain. And it's growing fast. Tether now holds more Treasuries than countries like Australia or Mexico. BlackRock has launched a tokenized Treasury fund that already has nearly $3 billion under management. And just this week, Mastercard announced that it's integrating USDC and other stablecoins for cross-border settlement. In other words, this isn't fringe anymore. It's moved into the mainstream, and it's growing quickly. Even lawmakers are catching up. Just this month, the U.S. Senate passed the GENIUS Act, a bipartisan bill that sets clear regulatory guidelines for stablecoins. It requires full backing by liquid assets—like Treasuries—and regular public disclosures. It's now headed to the House, and while not law yet, the momentum is clearly there. The takeaway? Regulatory clarity is coming, and that opens the door for large institutions, payment processors, and even governments to scale up stablecoin usage with confidence. So why does this matter for bond yields?

Layoffs have been in the headlines a fair amount recently, with some companies cutting jobs in stages. Microsoft, Amazon and BlackRock are among the employers that have reportedly had repeated rounds of layoffs in recent months. Plus, it's been 10 years since Ireland became the first country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage by popular vote. A decade later, these couples are contributing significantly to the wedding business in Ireland at a time when overall marriage numbers are falling. Our BBC colleague Leanna Byrne visited her hometown of Dublin to speak to couples and vendors about how the wedding industry has changed.

Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, we're joined by Jon Charbonneau and Ryan Watkins to unpack the bombshell news of Robinhood Chain—an Arbitrum-based network debuting tokenized U.S. stocks, 3× crypto perps, and that head-scratching $500 K liquidity cap. From riffing on whether proof-of-stake yields are just “money in a box,” to debating Solana's first U.S. staked ETF, to sizing up the looming perp wars between Robinhood and Coinbase, the crew maps a common thread: corporate chains and regulatory work-arounds are colliding with crypto's decentralization ideals, forcing builders, traders, and even ETF hawks to rethink where real security, fairness, and opportunity will live next.
