This is a very ignorant take. Americans always want to pin everything on a bogeymen. The largest beneficiary we know of in this liquidation event was an anonymous trader who shorted bitcoin on Hyperliquid just before Trump's tarrif announcement, and made 88M dollars.You think the Chinese did that ? If the Chinese wanted to nuke any market it would be equities.

Baghdad and Kabul had nowhere near the military capabilities of the Iranians who can close shipping lanes, sink US warships and attack military bases and oil installations in the region, in addition to devastating all the major Israeli cities. In the chaos that ensues, the Chinese and Russians would move in and take advantage. The global economy would grind to a halt and America would spiral into a depression that would take at least a decade to recover from.

All the major social media and messaging platforms are compromised and serve as tools for surveillance, so the Iranian government isn't wrong.

And you think America is not ?

Unsustainable public debt. $50 trillion in debt maturity must be rolled over mid 2025. Something must give

* AI and LLMs will continue to improve. AI will create a new programming language that will take the world by storm

* Market share for solar continues to increase

* A market crash occurs in the US and a government bailout is instituted.

* The US creates a pretext to go to war with Iran and is defeated.

* Bitcoin is on a trajectory to reach 200k and it will if we get a strong bull season. However the elephant in the room is the House of Cards that is the US financial system. It appears primed to go poof!

* Solar and LLM's will bloom.

>I like index funds so much , that everything else feels a time / effort waste even though I am aspiring to be a programmer , maybe that's partially why I don't see much reason in crypto.

Crypto is the future of money and finance. If you are aspiring to become a programmer you should internalize this and get in.

You hold a very simplistic and naive view.

Anyone who solves AGI will be the government.

I'd your appreciate thoughts on this.
