He announced, via his favored platform (X, naturally. Where else?), that BitChat is getting “location chat.” Because apparently, knowing someone is nearby isn’t creepy enough. Now you can “teleport” into chats with them. Which is a very generous way of saying it uses geohashes – look it up, I’m not explaining it. 🗺️ Honestly, it sounds like he’s trying to recreate the plot of a really niche sci-fi film.
The partnership is a master limited partnership (MLP), a creature of corporate finance that operates like a medieval guild crossed with a modern-day toll road. It was birthed by Marathon Petroleum, the refining giant, to own and operate midstream energy infrastructure-pipelines, processing plants, and storage terminals. Think of it as the postal service of the oil and gas world, delivering crude and natural gas liquids (NGLs) to their final destinations. The beauty of this business model is its reliance on long-term contracts and regulated rates, which provide a stability that would make a cat napping in a hammock envious.
Now, while the elder Trump is busy trying to turn the White House into a sort of country-club-cum-crypto-exchange, young Eric has decided his own half-life shall henceforth be spent in the blockchain trenches. He co-founded something called American Bitcoin (motto: “Because American Cheese was already taken”) and has hinted at a Nasdaq listing. If that doesn’t get the blood of retail investors fizzing like warm champagne, nothing will.
While the oral incarnation of VK2735 may appear adrift in the currents of time, it is but one vessel in the expansive fleet of Viking’s offerings. In June, the company embarked upon a phase 3 trial featuring its injectable variant. This Vanquish trial prognosticates a recruitment of around 4,500 adults grappling with obesity or those bearing the added weights of comorbidities such as diabetes.
Three golden calves already grazed in that celestial pasture: Nvidia, Microsoft, and Apple, their valuations polished like ancestral heirlooms. Yet the fourth throne remained cold, awaiting the inevitable coronation of a company whose very name evoked ancient alphabets and forgotten algorithms. Alphabet, the modern scribe of human curiosity, carried within its code the stubborn persistence of ink-stained monks transcribing knowledge through centuries.
For those who, like me, are drawn to stocks not just for their potential to grow but also for their ability to pay us back in cold, hard cash, this raises an interesting question: Which of these two titans is worth staking your claim on? Let’s dive in, shall we?
Could this herald a new era where Ethereum-like a bold poet chasing glory-dares to challenge the mighty Bitcoin? Could it be, that in a world of digital gold, Ethereum vies for the crown? And just as a painter captures beauty in a fleeting moment, so too does Ethereum seize the day! 🎨✨
The SEC, ever cautious, has postponed its verdict on the likes of Canary Capital, CoinShares, Bitwise, Grayscale, and 21Shares. One cannot help but wonder: are they merely biding their time until the curtain rises on ISO 20022? The crypto faithful certainly think so, their hopes pinned like a brooch on a velvet cloak. November 2025, they murmur, will be the month of reckoning-when SWIFT adopts the standard, and XRP ETFs, like phoenixes, rise from the ashes. 🔥
Let us dissect this enigma, this dance of numbers and delusion, to discern whether the spark is but a flicker or the dawn of a prolonged blaze.
You see, Mr. Buffett’s got this little saying: “Be fearful when others are greedy,” and judging by the rampant greed bubbling up in the S&P 500-trading at a jaw-dropping price-to-earnings ratio of 30-there’s more greed than sense afloat. But while those high numbers have some folks frothing at the mouth, ol’ Warren’s been dabbling in a few hidden gems that don’t quite billow with excitement.
