Red alert for bitcoin (BTC)! - Part 18

We've stated previously that cryptocurrencies including BTC have no meaninful purpose in any mainstream payment system because of its fundamentally flawed design.

The cold wallet hack has raised the crypto security issue again because this is not a direct online hack (not attacking the wallet holder directly).

Furthermore, there was a recent incident of a ridiculous processing fee of over US$160K for a ZERO BTC transfer transaction that won't happen in any existing mainstream payment system (non-crypto).  The worst part was this BTC transaction was irreversible because the processing fee had been awarded to the processing nodes in the the blockchain network already.

The above erroneous transaction of a ZERO amount transfer with ridiculous processing fee is not acceptable in any merchant or cross border transaction and the crypto payment system won't become a mainstream payment system due to its flawed design.  Therefore, only CDBC and Qucurrency are the future mainstream payment systems.

The Iran war situation report. - Part 101

The US has shifted its goalposts again and again.  Initially, the US attacked Iran illegally on the premise of nuclear weapons.  Then, it shifted to the reopening of the strait of hormuz.  Now, it is the lowering of the oil prices.

This illegal Iran war has changed the middle east politics and power already.  The middle east has formed a new military alliance that comprises Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey and this new Islamic alliance will replace the US to become the new deterrence force in the middle east.

This new islamic alliance will become a formidable force because Pakistan has china weapons and nuclear bombs,  Saudi has monies and Turkey has the advanced western weapons.  We foresee more islamic counties will join this new alliance in the future and the US will have no choice but to fade out from the middle east.

Who will feel threatened by this new Islamic alliance?

Israel and India will be directly threatened by this alliance because India will think twice before waging any war against Pakistan and Israel can't bully any islamic country anymore in the middle east.

We're happy to see the formation of this new Islamic alliance because it is time for the middle east to stand on its feet independently now.  Cheers!

The US consumption had crashed!

 US retail sales had crashed!

We had stated previously that the US consumption was unsustainable when we analyzed the US GDP and the latest US retail sales had corroborated our previous analysis.

https://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2026/07/the-us-q2-gdp-is-worse-than-q1-and-us.html

The US inflation expectation had risen in August because of the intensification  of the Iran war.

This doesn't bode well for the US economy because the US consumption won't rebound in an ever rising inflation phenomenon.
