An anticipated deal to stop the war with Iran and open the Strait of Hormuz hangs in the balance as Israel and Tehran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon traded strikes Sunday. The Israel Defense Forces on Sunday said in a social media post that they had struck a “Hezbollah command center” in Beirut after Hezbollah launched aerial attacks “against Israeli civilians ...

This morning’s attack on Beirut should not have happened, particularly on a special day when we are so close to a Peace Deal with Iran. Israel has the right to defend itself against threats, but the attack it was responding to was very small and meaningless, nobody was hurt, injured, or killed, and should not disrupt this important process. We are very close to a Deal that will bring peace to the region, including to Lebanon, and all sides should stand down. There should be no more attacks by Israel anywhere in Lebanon, but there should also be no more attacks by any other party, including Hezbollah, against Israel. This could be the beginning of a long and beautiful peace — Let’s not blow it! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

As you can see from the chart below, on each past occasion when bitcoin has diverged from its fair-value line, it has subsequently reverted. Now is the latest such occasion, with bitcoin currently trading almost precisely on top of that line. This Metcalfe's Law model of bitcoin's fair value was first proposed to me six years ago by Claude Erb, a former ...

When $4.4 billion walks out the door in just a couple of weeks, it's natural to feel a twinge of anxiety. U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) just recorded a deluge of net outflows from May 15 through June 3, the longest streak since their January 2024 launch. The price of the coin is down 21% in the last 30 days alone, and now there's a sense of ...

Barack Hussein Obama’s Deal with Iran, the JCPOA, was an easy, beautiful, smooth road to a Nuclear Weapon, which Iran would have had six years ago, and would have used long before now. My Agreement with Iran is the exact opposite, A WALL TO NO NUCLEAR WEAPON! In fact, they no longer want a Nuclear Weapon, nor will they have one, either through purchase, development, or any other form of procurement. The Deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow, and immediately after it is signed, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN TO ALL. Our relationship with Iran is a much different and better one than previous Administrations have had. Unlike Obama’s Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in payments to them, including 1.7 Billion Dollars in green, cold cash, no money will exchange hands. At the appropriate time, when all is calm, we will go in and get the Nuclear Dust, buried deep under the powerful sunken granite mountains, thanks to our beautiful B-2 Bombers and their brilliant pilots, and downblend and destroy it, whether in Iran, or the United States. We look forward to working with Iran, and the entire Middle East, long into the future. Hopefully, this process will all work out quickly, easily, and smoothly. If it doesn’t, we have the ultimate alternative, hopefully never to be used again! Thank you for your attention to this matter!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP

It’s officially “Chairman” Kevin Warsh, not “chair.” The Federal Reserve website now lists Warsh as “chairman,” not “chair,” reversing the past 12 years when his predecessors Janet Yellen and Jerome Powell both chose to be called “chair.” Before Yellen, the term “chairman” was used exclusively. No law or regulation governs what a chair is called, leaving it ...
