Why’s everyone panicking when this is literally the accumulation zone for $SPX55K? 🙄
@reparandodwyer
July 13, 2026 at 4:08 pm
Why does everyone panic and dump SPX55K at the same part of the cycle every single time
@ezgiducong
July 13, 2026 at 4:08 pm
Word going around that Binance grabbed 33M SPX55K coins, crazy if true
@kelvinnash-h9u

I wonder how many people will wish they acted when $SPX55K was sitting quietly at $1.

Last time you mentioned SPX55K coin, please make video about it.
@luciusambrose
July 13, 2026 at 4:08 pm
How many times do we have to see this pattern before people realize $SPX55K is being accumulated quietly?

True OGs knew to scoop ADA and $SPX55K early, that’s just facts

I believe in the vision for SPX55K, those guys thought well about different scenarios and keep a longterm structure

only a dumb naive American will say that. do not let chinese get ahead.
@Wbliss
July 13, 2026 at 8:13 pm
Hi bro, are you too scared to handle the truth that the Chinese are ahead of the AI race with the US .! The only excuse that you have, as usual , is accusing China of stealing AI from the US while China is the only nation on earth which would challenge the US directly on AI.!
@Rita4good
July 13, 2026 at 11:44 pm
Actually China didn’t have to steal AI chips from the US; Donnie sold them directly to China. Kinda oxymoron, right. It is a small VC and Silicon tech circle-jerk that thought using China might make people more accepting.

“The AI race”. How about numbers that really matter for a healthy society and the well being of the population? Home ownership, Manufacturing, agriculture, skilled labor employment, sustainability, self reliance, real sovereignty of their economy..etc . Where you at Bloomberg?

There is no such thing as a healthy society because societies are made up of human beings and we are filthy sinners. To the extent that we can try to make things “better” though for others and for families, you have to protect the nation first to even have one. Not every talent and every company is good at the same thing, people have different talents, and freedom is a requirement. Some people are free to build technology companies. Do you know that Rocketlab uses AI and satellite imaging to allow farmers to sit in a tractor and have it drive itself around their field while the intelligent satellite locates ONLY the areas that need to be sprayed for pest control at the exact moment the tractor drives over it? They do the same for where more/less fertilizer is needed etc., this is amazing… efficiency increase, farmers pay a small fee for it, but save on other inputs. Just one small example, but there have been and will be more healthcare breakthroughs. One guy used LLM to cure cancer in his dog already after he had it perform a ton of analysis then went to a lab to get it made using the directions from the AI.

Lonsdale: “ccp🇨🇳’ s ACTIVE RAPE👎🏼 of the sector” 🤢
…says the Yuppie who believes the “system is broken” because the US born Chinese talents that lead NVIDIA, AMD and others for a decade or more to their success and growth, apparently got offered better opportunities in ccp 🇨🇳 to continue innovating on their own terms and left 🇺🇲‼️🤫🙄
👉🏼 Maybe their employment contracts were simply very badly drawn up and subsequently weren’t offered the right incentive to stay or… it was “decoupling” ⁉️🤔… but this ♂️ refers to it as “STEALING”…
“🎉So much exciting things 🥹!🎊”😏…such as what got out recently⁉️
“AI Output difference with ccp🇨🇳 is merely 2.7%, 🇺🇲 models are being trained on ccp🇨🇳models and price differences are huge: 100 million tokens on DEEP SEEK = 35$/month vs 🇺🇲 Claude OPUS 4.6 = 1500$/month…” 😂😂😂…🙄
