Tourist Vanish As Long Term HODLers Watch and Continue to Accumulate. Data is data. Hope this gives some insight/clarity to those wondering what's going on from last few days. You can't hide the inactivity today of established structural positions (whales). They are not participating in this market movement. It's being driven by tourist, derivatives, options and liquidity hunting (fear). History says when the market moves like this (without selling from those in profit), it's not structural, and it doesn't stick. Smart money will allow the drop until that fear flips to greed. Anyone's guess at what point that large blue (short term holders) will stop selling on the way down... they continue to fall for it. Use to be Tourist.
Donald Trump sues the his own IRS and Treasury department for at least $10 billion. The suit claims the leak to leftist media outlets that caused reputational and financial harm, public embarrassment, unfairly tarnished their business reputations, portrayed them in a false light and negatively affected President Trump, and the other Plaintiffs’ public standing. The lawsuit brought by Trump, his two older sons, Donald Trump Jr and Eric, and the Trump Organization, stems from the disclosure of tax documents to the public. But why in democracy, tax records of powerful leaders should be hidden? What are they hiding?

South Korean prosecutors have suffered a significant security breach, losing approximately $28.8 million in Bitcoin that was seized from an illegal online gambling operation. The assets were drained from 57 separate wallets in just 14 minutes. The breach, which occurred in Seoul, has raised critical questions about the security protocols of law enforcement agencies handling cryptocurrencies. The stolen Bitcoin, originally seized in 2021, was stored across multiple wallets, but this method failed to prevent the hack. Investigators suspect an inside job or a sophisticated external attack, given the precision and speed of the theft. The funds have reportedly remained unmoved for over five months, complicating recovery efforts and underscoring the need for improved security measures in digital asset management by law enforcement worldwide.

The documentary titled "MELANIA," scheduled for theatrical release on January 30, 2026, is currently facing reports of extremely very low advance ticket sales and is projected to crash at the box office despite strong public endorsements from Donald Trump. Endorsement vs Ground Reality- Donald Trump has often publicly praised the film as "incredible" and claimed that tickets were a "very hard get". However, industry tracking suggests that while supporters and his vote base are willing to vote for him, they are less inclined to pay for a 104 minute film described by some critics as a "transition vlog". Basically film specifically covers the "transition" period - the 20-day window leading up to Donald Trump's second inauguration in January 2025 last year. It documents Melania Trump's day-to-day life as she moves in and around the White House, packs, and establishes her team. $MELANIA
After making Greenland and Venezuela Great, US President Donald Trump wants to make Iraq Great Again. “I’m hearing that the Great Country of Iraq might make a very bad choice by reinstalling Nouri al-Maliki as Prime Minister. Last time Maliki was in power, the Country descended into poverty and total chaos. That should not be allowed to happen again. Because of his insane policies and ideologies, if elected, the United States of America will no longer help Iraq and, if we are not there to help, Iraq has ZERO chance of Success, Prosperity, or Freedom.”
