I am trying to piece a few things together but have not seen it discussed anywhere.
The word is, some ships are allowed through the strait, but these ships then pay in BTC.
Since it is reported that 3200 ships are "waiting", I am wondering, given the peculiar price movements since the "double cease fire", there is another play at work.

But .... there also is something else:

Peruse the articles .... Protean fleet. At least 10.000 ships. And the way it works is even more mindboggling than simply a BTC address with a segwit.
It seems to me, IF 2 or more million is paid in BTC to pass, then the traces of such a payment should be visible. The thing is, it is not paid in Pounds Sterling ( auch for the CoL) but who is the recipient?
What if this actually fills US coffers, only to be used as a backstop?
I mean, if Scott Bessent is the originator of the '92 Pound Sterling attack, throwing it out of the EMS, making Soros billions, clearly this man knows more about such things than many "experts", especially with more than a year prep.
I am not saying it is ..... But ... something peculiar is going on, and I can't even formulate my question really. The ups and downs are way too ..... precise. Today I calculated it would be a 1000 up. Nice. I also calculated the 71500 level as a short exit. Nice. Thanks and all. But is it never been this precise. It feels off.
Yeah most, if not all. It's one thing I don't really like about this Admin. Once flipped, when left to their own devices or after Trump leaves office, they can easily flip back and bury any negative info against them that could or would be leaked by Trump and his family.
However, I do admit that in that particular Swamp, it is exceedingly difficult to find someone who isn't a snake, a bottom feeder, or or carrion eater. And they know all the intricacies of the Swamp, too. But it's still disconcerting knowing we have to work with that vermin in order to make and keep America great again.
It's a dirty and disgusting job, but I'm glad it's Trump at the helm right now. Maybe and hopefully Vance, Rubio, Hegseth, and Gabbard can carry that mantle faithfully come 2028. Because I don't know that anyone else will stay faithful to The Cause, and the jury's still out regarding them, too.
always a concern but if the swamp is drained by then, then there is nothing to flip back to
