Under pressure from Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Trump administration may be within days of launching a nuclear strike on Iran. The target would be Pickax Mountain in central Iran, where Israeli intelligence claims the Iranian government has restarted its nuclear enrichment program. No conventional weapon in the American arsenal can penetrate 300 feet of solid granite to destroy the tunnels where enrichment is supposedly taking place. The only military option is a nuclear strike. Netanyahu has been pushing hard for one. “Bibi calls Trump about it every day,” says an informed observer.
Netanyahu is cornered and desperate. After last week’s election results, he can’t form a government unless Trump intervenes directly in Israeli politics and brokers a deal with other parties that gives Netanyahu 61 seats in the Knesset. Otherwise, he is out as prime minister and on his way to ignominy, investigations and possibly jail. Netanyahu must stay close to Trump. He needs this war.
To that end, he’s applied maximum pressure to his closest allies in the administration, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper. Both oppose a negotiated settlement to the war they’ve so grievously mismanaged; both are pushing to restart major combat operations. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and CIA director John Ratcliffe are also following Netanyahu’s lead, as are leaders of the Democratic Party. In a recent meeting on the subject, former president Barack Obama said he opposes the current Iran peace deal being drafted in Doha.
The rest of America’s longtime allies in the Middle East are terrified by the prospect of more war. On September 27th, Netanyahu flew secretly to Abu Dhabi to enlist the UAE in his lobbying effort for a final attack on Iran. The Emiratis refused. After eight months of conflict, Gulf economies are teetering. So are global energy and fertilizer markets. They won’t recover soon. Globally, there are a total of about 850 supertankers used to transport oil from producers to the rest of the world. In October alone, 11 of them were badly damaged in Hormuz. At this pace, a global depression is imminent. A nuclear strike would radically accelerate the destruction. Fallout from a ground explosion at Pickax Mountain would contaminate the Persian Gulf, poisoning the water supply for 100 million people.
And those are just some of the immediate consequences for the region. The rest of the world is every bit as exposed. No country other than the United States has ever used a nuclear weapon in war. Some would like to. An American nuclear attack on Iran would set a new precedent. The Russians have already told at least two other governments that an American nuclear strike on Iran would free them to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine. Pakistan and India would be tempted to do the same against each other, as would North Korea against Seoul. After the first nuclear strike, World War Three is inevitable. That war would be short and final.
We’ve been sleepwalking toward this moment for months. Since February, the administration has quietly rewritten America’s nuclear doctrine to make first use of so-called “battlefield nukes” easier and therefore more likely. No one in Washington in either party seems bothered by this. Now we’re on the brink of it.
Close observers say Trump is likely to decide by next weekend whether or not to use nuclear weapons. That would be November 7, six days from now. To his credit, he’s hesitating. At the moment, Trump is listening to his vice president, JD Vance, and to his envoy and friend Steve Witkoff, both of whom argue a deal with Iran can be made.
They’re right, though it won’t be simple. The Iranians are famously frustrating to negotiate with under any circumstances, and elements of that government have become more radical since Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his family were killed in February. After decades of isolation, even relatively moderate Iranian leaders seem confused by how decisions are made in the West. (There is a widespread belief in Tehran, for example, that the United States government controls Israel.) But overall, people who have spoken to decision-makers in Iran say there is consensus there that more war is bad for everyone and a deal is worth making.
One group that hasn’t been consulted so far is the global population — the hundreds of millions of people who will be killed along with their children if Trump is pushed by Netanyahu into launching a nuclear strike next week. Now would be the time for them to speak up.

not only am i not worried about the crypto community's ability to handle the upcoming ai/quantum threat, i will venture to say that in the next 2 yrs the world will realize crypto is far better prepared for it than the rest of the internet and finance. we've had a trillion dollar *irreversible* honey pot for a decade, producing a far more battletested system and adversarial security culture than pretty much anywhere else on earth.

So many people have DM’d me about this trailer and I’ll be honest, watching it made me physically throw up.
I was COO from before FTX even had a name, it was my baby, and I was the last one out of the Bahamas after Sam got extradited. I lost everything I had on it and it took me a long time to get over, so I have zero interest in defending the people who caused this.
The media loves the story that FTX blew up because we were all partying in the Bahamas, but the place I worked looked nothing like that.
We had under 200 people in the core company at its peak, not counting subsidiaries, when other exchanges our size had thousands, so a lot of us were doing 16 to 18 hour days for over three years and barely had time to sleep, and whenever we walked in, day or night, Sam was at his desk.
I worked with Caroline and never once saw her get aggressive like she does in this trailer. She’s quiet and mild, and often lost in her own thoughts.
Most of us didn’t even know she and Sam were dating until we read about it after the bankruptcy, and I never saw him so much as put an arm around anyone.
FTX’s collapse ruined so many people’s lives, including ours, and Netflix decided to make it a love story.
Shame on you @netflix.

I don't see this as a particularly unusual situation.
we went through something very similar with ai16z in 2024. due to fud, ai16z crashed from $400M to $170M, and at the time I pointed out the mispricing gap.
back then, ai16z's github stars were growing rapidly, while the price was falling. to me, that meant the mispricing gap was significant, and I believed that gap would eventually close.
so I bought the dip, and ai16z went on to surge to $2B.
looking back, it's kind of funny. who would have thought that github stars could represent fundamentals? but given the onchain mania at the time, along with the advantage of being the first major theme, it was enough to make people believe that github stars were a proxy for fundamentals.
I see $AI, artificial inu, as being in a similar situation. the difference is that we no longer have to count github stars. instead, the narrative is being driven by the tokenized stock theme, backed by Robinhood.
I think this dip, caused by several short term hyped pnds on solana, will be quickly absorbed.
the moat is incomparably stronger than it was in 2024. we are trading the native token of the flagship theme of this cycle.
what's the concern?

i don't like providing meme token fundamental analysis (it's largely pointless) but a concerned friend in AI asked for my thoughts and I already typed them out, so I figured I'd share here as well.
1) AI is a field of computer science dating back half a century. that doesn't magically get undone via presidential mandate
2) the flows around AI are more largely explained by the size of the tokens. it is much easier (cheaper) to push a token from 7 fig to 8 fig where all participants are happy to realize a multiple than it is from low 9 fig to high 9 fig / 10 fig.
3) rh chain rotational flow, less volume across the board, it is a consolidation phase
4) selling an "organic" coin due to catalyst driven pvp is a very low EV move that tends to resolve itself given additional time
5) considering all the above, a retrace to me regardless of any pvp or anything else happening has been more than logical, roads to crazy ceilings are littered with tons of drawdowns
6) in spite of 5, nothing in this life is guaranteed; it can be THE top and slow bleed with minimal pumps and such is life. its the game we play, you take what are high probability setups and if it works it works.
7) to solve for 6, you take profits along the way and sell into strength such that when a token is in a time of weakness, you have the resolve to see clearly and wait for conditions to inevitably improve which happens far more often than not. you never want to be a in a position of forced selling

For anyone seeing @frankdegods "accidentally" showing Sumo Trade (wallet bundling) tool on his IG story and then deleting it
Then @orangie accidentally talking about it in this video
I want to remind you one thing:
- orangie "accidentally" shilled Nova Trade many times, which he owned
- Nova Trade was supposed to be a competitor to Axiom
- One day Nova Trade stole millions of dollars from EVERY wallet that ever interacted with Nova Trade
- I spoke about this when it happened. I also replied to every top account and asked them to spread the information and did my best to save people that were in the drain queue
x.com/YokaiCapital/status/19…
- Please don't take my word for it, do your own research
Now the same "cabal" @frankdegods @orangie and others are accidentally talking about "Sumo Trade" what an original name after "Nova Trade" crime
I am saying this once and I won't repeat:
If any wallet associated with that scammy Sumo app, I will do everything in my power to get all the evidence to the right enforcement agencies. I will make sure that every single one of you get what you deserve.
Stay safe and I urge you to transfer ALL your money out of the wallets that ever touched Sumo.
Stay the fuck away from @fomo too, it is the same cabal with fake leaderboards.
Wait for my next tweet. It will be an article with a full plan of mine. Of a new beginning for the trenches. Where these bastards will have no power over the rest of us.

before I go I will tell you a secret:
@frankdegods is behind @UsePaid and other projects and is slow rugging his people while maintaining steady cool ai tech guy look on CT
@_Shadow36 is behind $troll with 0 real holders fully bundled shit while rugging his followers on $shadow $cupsey and shit loads of rh coins
@theunipcs pumped useless so people would think he has motion while he was behind bonkfun and every bonkfun coin and rugged every single one of them
@WhiteWhaleLabs is resmus and both are unipcs fake accs
any coin that has @Cupseyy ping/buy is his bundle and will be sold on you
axiom/pumpfun want you to believe that BubbleMaps and InsightX is where you should check bubbles, and if they are clean then coins are good, but they are lying, they are owned by the same people and don't show real bubbles, you should check it on solscanner.app which shows full bubbles but no terminal is integrating them because no coin would pump
@AxiomExchange saves all your private data and trades on the information (also shares with others)
@AxiomExchange charges above $100K+ for showing new launchpads on their platform and gives attention to highest bidder, really really corrupted company
@PoorGoat_ is @blknoiz06 alt account and solana:9cRCn9rGT8V2imeM2BaKs13yhMEais3ruM3rPvTGpump has 0 real holders and is fully bundled, solana:Ai66LHZG9MCzg1WKdawwqduVAXpNDUuV8M3uyq5ppump is his bundled "meme" play and PoorGoat is his created persona, with fake fomo PnL, and he eats from airdrops from various projects, CATE was a try to push his launchpad, but was a total failure, most likely he's in loss in both projects, fair on him, much better than any other guy I mentioned, but truth has to be told, CT deserves better
@fomo leaderboard consists of only fake personas and fake PnLs, 98% of those accounts are not real people, they are one of the bundled wallets in bundled coins registered on fomo as a real user, just to lure people into following those wallets and luring them into scam coins
@Pumpfun was made by young kids that were bundling and rugging coins, but they were super good at doing it, and they wanted a bigger stage, where they could launch as many coins as they want on their own platform, where they could control the whole process, and they have succeeded, they are some successful kids from criminal underground, very successful at what they are doing, and they know how to keep the casino going, since bundling and scamming is all they know, its in their roots
now to the yokai part, yea yokai sucks, has no motion, but at least has stayed true to his shit stuff, he is also a made up persona, but he always wanted to launch smth cool that would work, without all the bs, but since it wasnt working out he was usually taking his money back by selling into the pool, to take back what he invested, sometimes in profits and many times in losses, thats why I believe @blknoiz06 is in a huge loss on CATE and ANSEM, because when you try to keep things up there, in this market, almost always you're taking a huge loss and waiting for bull market to bring you profits, which never came to the trenches, dont really give a fuck if ppl believe this or not
if you look at my posts lately i've been fucking around with this account, totally not serious with it anymore, its just a hated account with shitty history and literally with hundreds of failures, but before I left I wanted to give you some real info, so trenches can learn a bit from experienced and if you ask I will give much more detailed information
cancer to trenches:
- @Pumpfun
- @AxiomExchange
- @theunipcs
- @fomo (for not banning fake accounts from leaderboard and dining with shitty influencers, while 95% of fomo users are in a loss)
- @frankdegods with a lot of cash behind the scenes, cash he made through DeGods, he's super smart and talanted guy, so I respect him, at least he pushes cool stuff before slow rugging them, but I believe he can do much bigger things in life, proper talanted indian, but still an indian
- @_Shadow36 literally a scammer, thinks he's smart, he's not, in a different (lower) league than ppl/companies mentioned above
- @blknoiz06 cool chad, feels like he doesn't want to sleep at night thinking he's a scammer, but he kinda is with all the bs coins he pushed and never mentioned again such as solana:DitHyRMQiSDhn5cnKMJV2CDDt6sVct96YrECiM49pump and having fake personas @PoorGoat_ / CATE etc, also not as talanted as he makes it look like, I think he's overinvested and has no idea what to do rn
the og of CT? @cobie I have nothing bad to say about the guy. he stayed cool as fuck all these years, built something valuable, and sold it to @coinbase for a billion dollars, now he works and does good for CB
trenches will do better when cancer is cured
but for now, there is now cure for cancer, so all you can do is gamble
end is near for them, stay smart, always check for signs that I mentioned above, to tell fake from real, use solscanner not other bubble map platforms, stay away from manipulators, and if there's a real runner you will know, it will be funny or super viral, it will have a narrative that can last, and it will have clean bubblemaps with real volume that's growing, and no cancer around it
DO NOT follow tracked wallets that Axiom or Pumpfun gives you, write your own agents and bots that can find real winners from latest successful launches, not the bundle wallets that had good PnL, but real traders that profitted, get your agents to find patterns between these plays, and get your own signals, do not track KOLs, the only reason they give you those names is to fuck you right in the ass
cheers

i strongly believe public ceos following/engaging with stock memes is the most pve crypto vertical of all time
these coins have the highest aspirational buyers & KOLs compared to any prior meta, ever
2021 nft north star was mainstream culture, artists and some small funds
2024 ai coins was retail traders, tiktok, and low level ai lab employees
2026 stock memes are public ceos of the most valuable companies in the world doing whatever they can to drive attention and capital to their companies while these assets are EASIER to buy than signing up for a brokerage to trade stocks
i think today is the starting gun for how insane things could get

for my new side project i investigated 100+ supplements, drugs, procedures, tests, and behaviors promoted by longevity influencers. i had claude and grok audit the entire medical literature for evidence and counter evidence for each, and debate up to 10 rounds until they reach consensus.
the result is something many of u probably already know. the vast majority of things sold to u are just expensive molecules that go thru bladder and do pretty much nothing beneficial. some of them even carry known and unknown risks.
how im going to modify my own "protocol": the handful of supplements i was already taking like vit d and omega 3 actually have much less evidence than i thought. so im just not going to stress of them. if i remember to buy/take them, good. if not, wtv.
