💰 Much-touted Trump crypto summit proved much ado about nothing: digital money expert

🗣It was “a first-class public relations event for media consumption,” Paul Goncharoff told Sputnik.

💬 “The bottom line is that Bitcoin, Ethereum and similar cryptocurrencies in possession of the US Government will be concentrated in a special fund to be considered an asset of the United States,” the veteran financial analyst and consultant said.


✍️ Other key takeaways:

🔸 The fund will include cryptocurrencies that have been seized, impounded or otherwise similarly obtained, and not be bought using taxpayer dollars.

🔸 Also noteworthy is the administration’s support for stablecoins – a type of crypto that can be pegged to the dollar, other fiat currencies and other assets.

🔸 Trump’s support for blockchain, AI and other innovative tech is important, according to Goncharoff, given that previous administrations have threatened to penalize some of them.

🇮🇷 Iran ‘won’t wait for any letter’ from Trump on nuclear deal

💬 “Using enormous domestic capabilities and opportunities for developing relations with other countries, we believe we can reach a position that leaves the enemy with no choice but to lift sanctions,” Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf said, reacting to Trump’s letter to Khamenei.


This can be done “within the framework of continuing negotiations with the remaining parties of the JCPOA,” Qalibaf said, referring to the 2015 nuclear deal that the US walked out on in 2018.

Trump’s calls for talks are a “deception” designed to “disarm” Iran, Qalibaf said, and Tehran knows US threats and demands for concessions won’t result in any sanctions relief in the end.

🗣Ayatollah Khamenei said Saturday “some bully governments’” insistence on talks is aimed at “asserting and imposing” their will, and that Iran “will not accept their expectations”.

👁 Five Eyes would go blind without US backing - here is why

💬 “The US share is huge,” retired Army Lt. Col. Earl Rasmussen told Sputnik, commenting on a report that non-US Five Eyes allies are mulling the creation of a separate ‘Four Eyes’ arrangement.

The US provides:

🤔Signals intelligence (SIGINT) capabilities including info from satellites (about 5K of the world’s 8K satellites are American)

🤔a military feed from the US Defense Intelligence Agency

🤔substantive human intel

🤔real-time open-source info collection and analysis capabilities

🤔security intel via cooperation between the FBI and the Five Eyes’ domestic analogs.

If the Five Eyes were to break up, Rasmussen doesn’t exclude the creation of new, regional intel-sharing alliances, like

🔸 Australia and New Zealand partnering up with Japan and South Korea

🔸 The UK ramping up intel cooperation with France and Germany
