BREAKING: Russia’s President Putin has proposed a meeting with President Trump and President Xi to negotiate an end to the war with Ukraine, per WSJ.
The meeting is proposed for next month and was floated on an October 9th phone call with President Trump.
This was the same call that produced a deal for the US to buy Russian diesel.

这些是前段时间我在苏富比拍卖会上看到的文物。终于目睹了延安当年是如何把美国人忽悠瘸的。抗战末期1944年平安夜，毛泽东率领延安的高级将领与美国代表共度圣诞晚会，和美国人一起向上帝祷告，留下了宴会签名名单和圣诞贺信。他们积极庆祝圣诞佳节，展示开明、友好、尊重基督教节日的姿态。不少美国代表感觉这与蒋介石的蛮横、专制形成鲜明对比。
窑洞里的毛泽东，在平安夜写下圣诞祝福，收信人是驻延安美军观察组军官Dexheimer，并请他代为转达给罗斯福派来的特使赫尔利将军，以及史迪威的继任者魏德迈将军。
同一脉络下，周恩来、朱德、叶剑英等也向美国代表写信致意，语气礼貌而周全，反复强调“祝圣诞快乐、新年幸福，并向所有美国朋友致意”。
从历史后果看，延安的对美亲善战略是否多少动摇了之后马上爆发的国共内战中美国的态度？这是另一个话题了。
PS 在拍卖场上，毛泽东的信和圣诞晚宴签名名单争夺异常激烈，远远超过了大家的预期。我并没有抢到，但是还是觉得很有意思，和大家分享来看看。

BREAKING: In a major shift, the European Union has officially proposed making Canada the bloc’s first-ever “associate member.”
Details include:
1. European Commission President von der Leyen said Europe needs to "tighten its cooperation with like-minded democracies"
2. von der Leyen also says this would retain the continent’s sovereignty and tackle threats from “an openly hostile world”
3. The move comes just days after President Trump imposed 50% tariffs on $20 billion worth of Canadian goods
4. Canada's Prime Minister Carney has confirmed that there are also discussions on certain types of mutual visa-free travel and work arrangements

I thank Chinese leader Xi Jinping for his congratulations to Ukraine on our most important national holiday. Independence is an unconditional value for Ukrainians, as it is for all other sovereign nations. We appreciate that over these 35 years, we have built relations with China based on mutual respect and full recognition of the values of our peoples. We count on further cooperation and on China playing a strong diplomatic role in bringing Russia’s war against our country to an end. Peace can be our shared achievement.

My thoughts on BIP-110 and the "anti-Ordinals movement" that will attempt to fork the Bitcoin network in August 🧵
The greatest threat to Bitcoin is neither Ordinals nor Runes
It is the pervasive and dangerous ideology that took hold after the Blocksize Wars that using Bitcoin L1 is bad
Starting in 2017 a bunch of lunatics in the "Lightning ecosystem" hijacked Bitcoin and psyoped everyone into believing that making transactions on Bitcoin L1 was somehow immoral and harming children in El Salvador
Fast forward nearly a decade and here are some of the downstream effects of telling everyone to stop using Bitcoin L1
A catastrophic amount of time and resources were wasted building a now obsolete and failed "Lightning Network"
Bitcoin has now been infiltrated by feds and bankers who have normalized not only paper Bitcoin but Ponzi scheme treasury company versions of paper Bitcoin
When you joined Bitcoin a decade ago you were taught how to self-custody
When you join Bitcoin today many of the top "leaders" tell you to buy pump and dump Bitcoin proxy scams trading anywhere from 2x to 100x NAV
The vast majority of "Bitcoin maxis" have never even used Bitcoin L1 and are technically illiterate having no idea what a UTXO is
The biggest joke of all is that discouraging people from using Bitcoin L1 created the low-fee environment which allowed the data storage use case to take root
It is laughable that BIP-110 claims "data storage competes unfairly with payments"
You can transfer billions of dollars of value on Bitcoin L1 in roughly 200 bytes yet Bitcoin maxis failed so badly at creating demand for block space that it became economically viable for artists to store 4 megabyte JPEGs while competing fairly in the exact same fee market
BIP-110 is by far the least cypherpunk proposal by the least cypherpunk group of people in the history of Bitcoin
They have completely lost the plot
Instead of coming to terms with the consequences of their own decisions they are attempting to introduce radical levels of censorship to a network whose entire value proposition is censorship resistance
There are no words to describe how fragile someone's ego must be to blame artists for using a low-fee environment created by your own reckless decisions
It is not a coincidence that 67.9% of all Bitcoin transactions this week were Ordinals and Runes
While the Bitcoin maxi movement is completely going off the rails
We are the ones who actually use the Bitcoin network
We are the ones who secure the Bitcoin network by paying fees
We are the ones who understand the Bitcoin network at the deepest technical level
We are the ones who denominate in Bitcoin and actually use Bitcoin as money every single day
We are the ones who self-custody our Bitcoin and carry on the ethos of "not your keys not your coins"
We are the real Bitcoin maxis now
There is nothing more cypherpunk than running your own node and ripping some JPEGs onto a censorship-resistant network regardless of how unpopular it is
Satoshi's first act on Bitcoin was to inscribe data
We are simply carrying on the torch
Because the prior Bitcoin maxis have failed so miserably the Ordinals and Runes enjoyers have become the new Bitcoin maxis
We will make self-custody cool again
We will make experimenting on Bitcoin fun again
We will get people to use Bitcoin as a medium of exchange again
We will educate people and make Bitcoiners technically literate again
We will secure Bitcoin by creating a robust fee market and high demand for blockspace again
We will purge Bitcoin of the feds and bankers who have infected it like a disease and that starts with defeating the BIP-110 fork in August
I am calling on all $DOG soldiers, all Ordinals enjoyers, and all Runes degens to band together and fight against this BIP-110 cancer that is hell-bent on destroying the Bitcoin that we know and love
If you are against BIP-110 and agree that Bitcoin should remain censorship resistant show your support by quote posting this with "Defend permissionless blockspace. Reject BIP-110." and be sure to repost all quote posts
Long live Bitcoin
Long live Ordinals and Runes

The US government is becoming increasingly dependent on private investors to finance its growing debt burden:
Privately held US Treasury debt maturing within 1 year is up to a record $8.3 trillion.
This figure has DOUBLED over the last 5 years, reflecting the government's growing reliance on short-term financing from private investors.
As more debt shifts into Treasury bills, a larger amount must be refinanced every year, leaving borrowing costs increasingly sensitive to interest rates and investor demand.
At the same time, foreign central banks are reducing their share of Treasury holdings, making private investors absorb a larger portion of new issuances.
As a result, the Treasury market is becoming increasingly dependent on investor demand and liquidity conditions rather than the stable long-term buyers that have traditionally anchored it.
With US public debt at an all-time high, even modest disruptions in funding markets could have an outsized impact on borrowing costs.
Treasury refinancing risks are intensifying.
