ICE

opensandshuts

What major institutions are working with XRP? Chainlink is working with Mastercard, JP Morgan, ICE for FOREX markets (They also own the NYSE), and has run successful pilots with SWIFT (global org that coordinates cross border payments, and they also had a successful pilot with DTCC (The organization that handles the settlement and infrastructure for the US stock market). That's not even all of the institutions that they're already working with. Please for the love of God someone tell me what XRP is doing with institutions. I feel like I'm going crazy trying to understand why anyone is associating XRP x institutions, but I hear it all the time, just without a single iota of evidence.

Contralogic

There is a good chance you are casting blame in the wrong direction. --Perhaps look at wild and unpredictable tariffs taxing the US consumer. --perhaps look at the war on immigrants in USA , who performed may vital labor jobs. Don't forget the cost of ICE. --perhaps look at billions of dollars of research grants pulled back suddenly --Perhaps look at the govt political theater not focused on the health and well being of those in the 99%. --perhaps look at the rapidly escalation of govt spending and M2 money supply The fed is concerned about stagflation. The inflation caused by us govt policies and money printing is the issues. Republicans could be cutting spend programs like defense and trying to balance budget. Instead it's on wild spending trip .

ScoobyD00BIEdoo

I agree whole heartedly. Just offering up some options. Also not all of them are bootlicking kidnappers. ICE started in 2003. Before that it was immigration and naturalization service. Theyve done quite a lot for the country since the 30s.

Fuck ICE. Can't wait for the Nuremberg trials of this century

Get a 50k a year job. Not too hard. Prisons are hiring. So is ICE

Since @Ripple was a thing, that was always XRP’s narrative that XRP would be the ones working with the banks. Swift comes out and says, we’re using @chainlink for this, JP Morgan comes out and says, we’re using Chainlink for this. XRP’s core product just has not seen meaningful traction with institutions. Chainlink looks just the clear winner in that regard. The global financial system is adopting $LINK Swift DTCC Euroclear Mastercard Clearstream Central Bank of Brazil J.P. Morgan Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) UBS Westpac BNY Mellon Citi BNP Paribas Franklin Templeton Wellington Management Fidelity International U.S. Bank Lloyds Banking Group ANZ Bank SBI Digital Markets Emirates NBD Vontobel Bancolombia

Copy and pasting my comment above: Since you didn’t get an explanation, I’ll give you some bullet points on Chainlink: • ⁠First mover advantage, proven track record (secure, no downtime, accurate, etc), and very little (if any) actual competition. • ⁠They’re the infrastructure of crypto (think roads and bridges), which is essential but not sexy. Because of that and the historical tokenomics, price action was fairly muted. They’ve flipped the switch with the Payment Abstraction and Chainlink Reserve. • ⁠Core Services to support infrastructure idea: 1. ⁠Data Feeds (Price Oracles): Provide tamper-resistant price data (e.g., ETH/USD, BTC/ETH, commodities, FX). 2. ⁠Proof of Reserve: Gives real-time audits of collateral backing assets (like stablecoins, wrapped tokens, or real-world asset tokens). 3. ⁠Verifiable Random Function: Provides provably fair randomness on-chain. Used in gaming, NFTs, lotteries, and any application needing trustless randomness. 4. ⁠Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP): A messaging and token transfer standard that enables secure communication between different blockchains and traditional systems. Seen as a key bridge for institutions and enterprises to connect with Web3. • ⁠Their partnerships are second to none (Swift, ICE, DTCC, PayPal, Google, AAVE, etc): https://www.chainlinkecosystem.com/ecosystem • ⁠Payment Abstraction: Link has recently become Chainlink’s Universal Gas Token, so all payment (ETH, fiat, etc) for Chainlink services is now converted to Link. This will generate demand for Link. • ⁠Chainlink reserve: Link converted via Payment Abstraction is transparently placed in a reserve once a week, which will decrease circulating Link supply.

> ICE Partnership You fucking what now?! > On Aug. 11, Chainlink also announced a partnership with Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the operator of the New York Stock Exchange... Okay then. That's an unfortunate acronym though.

mabradshaw02

slowed a lot in 2024... not much movement, felt like maybe they would relax some. But then tarriff master and ICE raids, its back major time. its up 20% in the past 6 months on my bill. Wife and I just checked what we purchased... 10 items and we noticed around 20% avg.. was rediculous.

moonRekt

Between past seizures of gold bullion, and ICE raids picking up speed with no end in sight, my confidence in gold or bitcoin being a safe asset in the end is eroding

cryptolipto

THEYRE USING CHAINLINK TO MOVE REAL WORLD DATA ONCHAIN. THEYRE WORKING TOGETHER. PERIOD. You NEED chainlink to move RWA data on chain to be used by public blockchain like Ethereum Without Chainlink there can be no RWA data on public blockchain at all. Your analogy is wrong. It’s more like ICE makes the burger, and Chainlink is the server that brings it over to the customer

Available_Win5204

Kid, I don't know how to tell you this, but the ICE Consolidated Feed is a product that they will sell you anyone. You or me. No shit they're happy to work with Chainlink lol. McDonalds is happy to work with you to supply your birthday party with 500 cheeseburgers. If you think you're "collaborating" with McDonalds in that situation I really don't know what to tell you.

Available_Win5204

Um, no, Chainlink is calling it a collaboration. ICE couldn't care less. They're selling them data. It's a standard service anyone can pay for. This would be like you opening a new fast food restaurant and saying you're "collaborating" with Coca Cola because you're buying soda from them, then making a press release about it to build hype. The statement from the president of coke saying "we're happy to sell soda to cryptolipto, it's an important component in serving the $900b fast food industry"

cryptolipto

What else would you call it? It’s what ICE and chainlink are calling it

Available_Win5204

So Chainlink is... paying ICE for data? It's wild to read how frequently this is painted as a "partnership" or "collaboration."

opensandshuts

Dude. Just look up LINK, piloted with swift, piloted with DTCC, actively partnered with JP Morgan, actively partnered with ICE (owns the NYSE) for forex. In the freaking White House published crypto “outline” of how an oracle will work. XRP could fit in here somewhere, but it’s not necessary. when we talk about Tradfi on chain, the obvious elephant in the room is Chainlink.

cryptolipto

It absolutely will not Chainlink will consolidate the global financial system, connecting tradfi to defi, and they have been doing exactly that over the last 2-3 years of testing SWIFT: https://www.swift.com/news-events/press-releases/swift-ubs-asset-management-and-chainlink-successfully-complete-innovative-pilot-bridge-tokenized-assets-existing-payment-systems DTCC https://www.dtcc.com/dtcc-connection/articles/2023/september/21/bringing-capital-markets-onchain-with-dtcc-and-chainlink ICE (the NYSE) https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/chainlink-and-ice-collaborate-to-bring-high-quality-forex-and-precious-metals-data-onchain-302526234.html VISA https://thepaypers.com/crypto-web3-and-cbdc/news/visa-and-chainlink-test-cbdc-stablecoin-swap-across-blockchains Mastercard https://www.mastercard.com/us/en/news-and-trends/press/2025/june/mastercard-chainlink-crypto.html Fidelity https://www.sygnum.com/news/sygnum-and-fidelity-international-partner-with-chainlink-to-provide-fund-nav-data-onchain/ JP Morgan https://www.jpmorgan.com/payments/newsroom/kinexys-chainlink-ondo-tokenized-asset-test The Central Bank of Hong Kong https://chainlinktoday.com/chainlink-ccip-enables-exchange-of-hong-kong-cbdc-and-australian-dollar-stablecoin/ Euroclear https://chainlinktoday.com/chainlink-euroclear-swift-six-major-market-participants-launch-initiative-to-standardize-corporate-actions-data-onchain-at-sibos/ The central bank of Brazil https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/chainlink-plexos-institute-and-edinheiro-partner-to-democratize-financial-access-in-brazil-302516568.html And on and on and on and on…

This is the best news the XRP community can offer. Nothing but moon boy slop. Meanwhile, Chainlink has partnered with intercontinental exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange.

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Chainlink has partnered with Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, to bring foreign exchange and precious metals data onchain. This collaboration integrates ICE’s Consolidated Feed into Chainlink Data Streams, enhancing the reliability of decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms and blockchain-based applications. The move aims to support the tokenization of assets and foster a globally accessible onchain financial system, aligning traditional market infrastructure with blockchain technology. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Arijan101

Realistically they can drop all the way down to 0. The markets can't stay irrational forever, they will eventually begin to mirror reality, and the reality is there's just no new money flowing in the crypto market. Why? 5 major reasons: 1. Looming global recession. 2. High interest rates. 3. Tough job market (no one is really hiring) 4. Loss on trust in all things crypto due to the chaos generated by Donald Trump and his wild, erratic and unpredictable behavior (tariffs, ICE, pulling out of major global institutions...) 5. A lot of people lost money in crypto in 2021, a lot of them sold for a loss and many are still holding bags of alts waiting to break even and sell as soon as possible.

Of course that's the most intelligent thing you have to respond. The only thing I try to convince myself of is that my fellow Americans are at the very least capable of being slightly better than the citizens of a rivaling country but seeing as you're incapable of figuring out the simplest shit to be false even with the power of the internet in the year 2025... well I'm just glad we can use you to be a living breathing consumer that props up my investments so I take my profits and stay above the inflation that will tie you down will you're distracted by idiotic politics bullshit. You keep on keeping on. I think I heard there is an ICE protest you need to attend to but don't stay too long I need you to get back to work and pay me my rent on time.

I didn't say that, free market solves that with people making voluntary exchanges, and charity will always exist too, and by the way your taxes are funded to ICE.

PsychologicalBit803

More ICE agents to remove more criminals. There you go.

PsychologicalBit803

I’m by far not claiming to be an expert at all. My point is just you can listen to any conservative host in media and get one version and a liberal and get the complete opposite. It keeps tax policy in place that if it had not been done would have resulted in very high taxes for everyone. That wasn’t going to happen. I don’t believe at all that very rich are getting a break while everyone else is paying more. That’s not at all what I had explained to me on various shows. Not unless something changed very late in the process. ICE does get much more very needed funding. Anyone that makes the statement “round up anyone that doesn’t look white” isn’t someone I’m listening to. There is tons of really bad information about ICE. The last administration allowed in millions of people and now it has to be dealt with. That’s just facts. The belief people are being “kidnapped” or just grabbed off the streets is ridiculous. So ICE gets much needed funding to get more officers and locations to hold people being deported. Every single bit of that is exactly what was promised by Trump and the people that voted for him wanted when it comes to border security. The cuts to Medicaid I know involve mostly getting people that shouldn’t be on it to start with off the system. Way too many people scamming the system and it will be tougher now. It’s 100% NOT to take services away from people that need them. Again, watch two sources get two answers. Like I admitted I’m definitely no expert on this stuff and I don’t think anyone here is. We all have our opinion based on political views. That’s all fine just hope this sub doesn’t turn into a big political cesspool like so many others on Reddit. Need to remember what brought most, if not all of us here and that’s the belief in Bitcoin!

Novice89

It is 100% the result. Lower taxes for millionaires, higher taxes for everyone else. Cuts to Medicare and Medicaid which is used by the poor and elderly. Raised the national debt by more than any bill before, and debt is increasing because despite the 600-800 billion in cuts to Medicare/medicaid because the tax breaks for the rich are THAT outrageous. Also increases funding for ICE to insane levels, giving them a bigger budget than several other agencies combined, and more than the Marines if I’m not mistaken. To sum up the bill, give money to the rich, gut social services/healthcare for the poor, and round up anyone who doesn’t look white. Personally, it’ll be great for me because I have a lot of crypto. Expect a run in the next month or two which will signal the end of this bull run. I’ll make a killing, but I’d rather have made a much smaller amount and not screwed over people.

MinimalGravitas

Is the white supremacy one different to the 'ICE' one or is that what you're referring to?

wienercat

I want to know how many construction projects are slowing down because of the ICE raids. I know I have seen a lot fewer people at job sites ever since they started sweeping up people at their jobs.

mebeast227

Facebook used data to sell you stuff and sway your political leanings. Both of those uses are bad. But having people’s AI searches and physical integrations is going to have both of those problems + WAY more I have asked it medicals questions My boss uses it to make financial spreadsheets, helps him with invoices, and even miniscule things like updating work schedules I’ve used it to (try) to create websites and phone apps People have it reading their emails I have a buddy who treats it like a therapist Then there is going to be AI GPS home appliances Fitness watch integration that monitors your blood pressure and steps travel manager (flights and hotels) Social event planning “How to” assistance Job resumes Then you get into deepfake porn generation It will help plan weddings, decide outfits, where you eat, how to allocate your time, and whatever else people can think of The level of intrusiveness AI will achieve is going to blow old school data collection out of the water and it’s not even close. A lot of that data was collected before, but it was fragmented between A LOT of different parties. This is going to get eaten up by whichever AI platform becomes the “operating system” for AI agents and then that data is going to be abused by the collector, sold off to marketers and advertisers, then provided to the govt, then funneled into Palantir. I do wonder if crypto will manage to pull off some sort of side market for AI use and finances because it’s going to be extremely necessary pretty soon (especially with all the shit happening the masked “ICE” agents and trump abducting people and shipping them off with no due process)

typoerrpr

interesting, bakkt is partly owned by ICE which also owns a bunch of exchanges including the NYSE. this might be the first TradFi-linked company to “do the saylor”

tldr; A blockchain game called 'ICE Agent,' which celebrates immigration raids, was developed by Polish citizen Jakub Rutkowski for an unidentified client, likely American. Players mint NFTs to act as ICE agents and use cryptocurrency to detain 'illegals' in virtual detention centers. The game has sparked controversy for its provocative content and marketing tactics, including a plane banner promoting 'America first' ideals. Rutkowski admitted the game was designed to attract attention and generate profit, despite moral concerns from collaborators. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

BRACE FOR MAJOR CRYPTO PRICE EARTHQUAKE! INCOMMING CRYPTO ICE AGE IS IMMINENT!! Am I mission any other Forbes crypto headlines?

CryptoAnarchyst

You can always tell an idiot, just can’t tell them much… Interesting fact, protests turned contentious when masked, unidentified, armed, warrantless, and hostile individuals claiming to be ICE started illegally detaining over a 1,000 US citizens… not sure if you give a Fuck about 4th , 5th, and 9th amendments but I sure do and apparently so do citizens of LA. Funny how you abdicated your morals as soon as you joined the cult… a decade ago a thought of military action in US cities would have thrown any Republican into panic… now you give Daddy Trump all the things you swore you’d resist. What a pathetic excuse for a human existence

CryptoAnarchyst

The amount of ignorance is staggering... yes, they fucking file taxes... taxes and benefits that they will never be eligible to receive. Over a $100billion in annual taxes received by the federal government that they never have to account for... there is a reason why no administration has ever dealt with this issue... and let's not talk about the labor shortage that is impacting the farming, construction, and restaurant industries... Farmers had to till over ripe tomatoes in Florida because they had no one to pick them, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas, are all experiencing empty construction sites due to ICE raids. Affordable housing is never happening, there was a long shot it would but after this there isn't. And if you knew anything about farming cycles you'd know that we have 6 month cycles between planting and harvest seasons. In Washington State, largest producer of tree fruits in the US, Apples, Pears, Cherries, and many other fruits will not be harvested in full... shortage will happen. This is not some fear mongering, this is the fact coming from the farmers themselves. Grape harvests across Washington, Oregon, and California vinyards is expected to be half of what it was previous years. Wheat, corn, root vegetables, potatoes, etc. are mostly automated, but most other harvests are not, and even if they are automated, you have to have people to process them which we have shortage of. And because of the tariff bullshit, our neighbors and trade partners are not inclined to help. This is not fear mongering, these are economic facts, undisputed and anchored in reality. You can read this from Banque Suisse, BoA, Fidelity, Black Rock, BNP Paribas, and many others. And don't even get me started on the price of oil, where Israel and US bombed one of the largest refineries in Iran... oooofff buddy, you're in for a surprise on that one.

It’s the same with all new tech.

CompleteSolution1194

Bro a thing about crypto is the price doesn't go up or down in a straight line, It goes up, takes a pull back then goes up and the cycle continues By deviding your purchase using dollar cost average you can easily buy when a pull back happens, or any other cases of war when the price suddenly dumps, inshort you'll have an option. But if you bought all at once, you'll be stuck no matter what, cuz you would've had invested everything at once so when the price drops you'll have nothing in backup to buy that dip, statistics is always a good option rather than going all at once, but then again: it's your choice it's your money do as you please brother (I'm just sharing my opinion and what i have learned in time as i researched about the market) Also eth is a good option if you're looking to invest, as the Alt season is about to happen you can also search some solid alt coin projects and buy them much cheaper than btc, a recent project that I've encountered with is #ICE and I'm thinking about researching it further cuz i see some potential in it (that's my pov off course) But do your own research before investing your hard earned money in anything :)

Hopeful_Main4460

the american spirit seems to be focusing on ICE at the minute. JD vance sorta put his neck on the line by claiming btc is an interesting store of value.

AI summery: A happy banker treated everyone on his train to free beer—and the reason will surprise you! While traveling on an ICE train from Mannheim to Hamburg, a man in his mid-40s, who appeared to be working diligently on his laptop, suddenly called a service staff member and asked if he could buy out the entire bar for all passengers. Shortly after, an announcement was made over the loudspeaker: “Dear guests, we have an unusual announcement: From now on, there are free drinks for everyone!” The reason for his generosity? The banker had just made a huge profit from the all-time-high of Bitcoin. He told another passenger that he was having a wonderful day and, since he was raised to give back when lucky, he wanted to share his good fortune. The exact cost of his gesture is unknown, but Deutsche Bahn confirmed the extraordinary event. For privacy reasons, they did not disclose the total bill.

No one at the kitchen to prepare the food. Everyone got deported or held by ICE

exitof99

I saw this and immediately wondered if they were ICE agents. It's a scary time in the US when you can't tell if you are getting carjacked, kidnapped, or arrested because they all are dressed the same and use similar tactics. Try and defend yourself will result in getting shot either way.

redline8k

Stfu, ICE doesn’t kidnap people you dolt.

MillenialMale

That ICE?

GloryGoal

People in the USA have been mobbing ICE to stop them from kidnapping people — I expect that behavior to get more common too.

worldlybedouin

Kidnappers should have outsourced the kidnapping to ICE. They've been doing a great job of disappearing folks here in the US.

Sounds like what ICE are doing to students in the USA?

Sesori

So they could always help track people who scammed you on coinbase. But they refused to do so. Now ICE wants to track their customers, they said we have this tool.

comtessequamvideri

I mentioned this in another comment, but the purview of ICE's Homeland Security Investigations division [extends well beyond immigration](https://www.ice.gov/about-ice/hsi).

MetallicGray

What else would ICE want that information for?  Don’t get me wrong I know it’s only a matter of time before judges, political opponents, and US citizens are “deported” lol. 

StrangelyBeige

ICE can suck a shitty dildo

Chief_Mischief

Yes, my point is that the mother should've been allowed to stay here with her daughter with US citizenship while she was being treated, or at least have the option to consult with doctors, since her cancer was metastatic. History is not going to be on ICE's side, not so much because of their arresting/deporting undocumented migrants but the indiscriminate methods used to achieve this (e.g. racial profiling, no due process, no verification of immigration status, etc). Not to mention the constantly mentioned point that if the country legitimately gave a shit about "illegal immigrants" taking our jobs, we would go after the employers who repeatedly exploit these people.

Chief_Mischief

A 4-year-old US citizen with cancer was deported to Honduras *without medication* just two weeks ago. ICE does not bother checking the legality of its actions, let alone the morality of them. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4g8yj2n33yo

comtessequamvideri

This isn't to argue with your opinion, just to point out something I think most people aren't aware of: despite their name, ICE's purview isn't just immigrants; [Homeland Security Investigations](https://www.ice.gov/about-ice/hsi/investigate), a division of ICE, also investigates and surveils U.S. citizens. You could certainly say the same thing about that ("As long as you're not doing anything criminal, there's nothing to worry about"), of course, but it seems worth mentioning.

>Democrats pick the wrong hills to die on There are plenty of pro-crypto Democrats, and there are plenty of anti-crypto Republicans. Republicans tend to be more vocal about it, as they tend to be more vocal about economic topics. In AZ we have seen skyrocketing housing pricing, our homeowners insurance doubling in the last two years, and massive turmoil due to ICE immigration raids. I would love to see Bitcoin be the most controversial topic, but right now the bulk of the Democrats are focused on preventing our slide into fascism not on BTC.

Is your gold 9K, 14K, 18K? How do you make change for a 24K ounce? When ICE comes to your door and sends you half way across the globe, how do you keep your yellow metal with you? Twelve words and Bitcoin will fix that.

The value of the dollar fell by like 2% in a single week vs basket of global currencies called the ICE dollar index. Bitcoin is not going up it's the dollar going down!

*Officials are exploring whether large conglomerates could buy Bhutan's "green" coins to meet their targets on environmental, social and governance norms.* Interesting idea, kind of like how ICE car manufacturers buy carbon credits from Tesla, Rivian etc to bring down their carbon footprint. I'm not sure if that would work with current regulations, I mean for car manufacturers, there are specific laws in various countries specifying what percentage of their output must be zero emissions, and that's what enables their carbon credit market. But there are no such laws (yet) for bitcoin miners. And for companies just holding bitcoin rather than producing it, I'm not sure it would do much for them, sure, they could make claims about how green their bitcoin holdings are, but you would have the same old arguments about how the energy could have been used for something else. One way or another though, I think mining "green" bitcoin will work out great for Bhutan.

Bubbly_Ice3836

ICE and/or EV, as long as there is a need for a more decentralized bitcoin network. a small car may not seem very appealing, but think of bitcoin mining trucks.

NoFly3972

Fun idea, but I think it's never gonna work considering how difficult it is to be profitable even on "normal" electricity rates, pair that with installation costs and range decrease, yeah not very appealing. Maybe on ICE vehicles, which actually produce energy.

tldr; The U.S. dollar is experiencing a 'confidence crisis,' with the ICE U.S. Dollar Index dropping sharply, raising concerns about its role as the global reserve currency. Analysts suggest rapid de-dollarization and structural reassessment of the dollar's attractiveness. This decline is seen as a potential boost for bitcoin, which may act as a safe haven asset similar to gold. Market dynamics are shifting due to Federal Reserve policy adjustments and U.S. trade pressures, potentially supporting bitcoin's price growth. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

*"Trump has to say something about the trillions in value he's personally destroyed"* Actual Trump: *I AM PROUD TO ANNOUNCE ICE HAS PROUDLY PICKED UP ONE KID FROM A COLLEGE AND DEPORTED HIM!"

The US economy is fucked! Wallstreet is getting nervous. Not a good sign! Applications for unemployment benefits unexpectedly increased. The manufacturing sector reported fewer new orders. And above all, the trade war caused unrest. Canada and China immediately imposed counter tariffs, and Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum said she would announce her own retaliatory measures on Sunday. The tariffs hurt the US car economy itself. Some car parts are sent back and forth between US and Mexico 10x before built into a car. Chipotle and Walmart warn of rising costs, higher prices and lower sales. Expansion plans were put on hold and new hires were postponed. The regional central bank in Atlanta has already dared to forecast that the US economy would shrink by 1.5 percent in the first three months of this year. That would be an emergency brake on the economy: last year it grew by 2.8 percent. Fear of the ICE border patrol is driving many undocumented workers into hiding. Citrus farmers in California's Central Valley, where about a quarter of the fruits and vegetables produced in the United States come from, reported that harvesters did not dare to go to work.

**When the contract was originally approved in February 2022, it listed a value of $8 billion ‒ in an apparent clerical error**. For perspective, the entire ICE budget for fiscal year 2024 was $8.7 billion. [https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/02/19/doge-said-it-cut-8-billion-contract-8-million/79176949007/](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/02/19/doge-said-it-cut-8-billion-contract-8-million/79176949007/) This clerical error was made in 2022. So you're blaming DOGE for the clerical error made during Biden's presidency? This just shows how nothing can be trusted and should be looked at with a magnifying glass!

Hard Republican/Traditional Conservative family thoughts when discussing Trump this weekend with them We knew he was sleazy but simply liked a few of his policies as we are traditional conservatives. Only thing we liked about his presidency was ICE. Everything else, we think he lost his actual mind We regret our vote. If Kamala would have taken action to secure the border SERIOUSLY and end DEI I honestly would have taken her. Trump is just slashing federal jobs without understanding those federal workers also buy stuff like everyone else and going to cause lasting impacts to the economy

A smoke test is what this entire chapter is, the hiring freezes, the ICE raids, the budget cuts; all meant to see where the smoke leaks from on the other end

I'm starting to wonder if trump is captured or reddit is captured.... it also doesn't make sense to me if tariffs are generally bad for the American citizens...why are the countries it's targeting so fucking upset about it.... also, why is almost every sub that talks about ICE and immigration conveniently keep dropping the ILLEAGAL portion and desperately trying to make it about race?!! I thought separating people making them against each other was a regressive tactic....democrats were supposedly trying to bring people together?!!

ICE is chasing out the Bitcoin bears

So ICE is raiding towns across America right now and the far right is hating immigrants more than ever and yet we just gave one access to the entire treasury. Makes complete sense

> Your graphic, and your sources, which are legit, show that the numbers are very similar, within 15% of each other. Yes, now you're getting it. The point is that there's virtually no difference between either wing of the corporate-owned Uniparty. >They confidently did not put all the data on the graphic. I wonder why? For COVID, it's because Trump didn't have to deal with COVID for the first half of his presidency so no figures were available. On Biden's end, he declared the end of the pandemic, so COVID stats aren't available for most of his presidency. Plus it's most accurate to compare the closest years of each administration when the pandemic was at its height. For ICE, it was simply that their website is incredibly hard to navigate and I couldn't find clear figures for all years. But I could find figures for the 3rd year of both administrations, so I used that. >Biden then comes into a shit storm and starts to unfuck what happened I don't think pledging "ironclad support" and "no red lines" for our imperial outpost conducting the modern-day holocaust, spending billions killing innocent people that could've been used to improve the miserable lives of his overworked subjects, then praising police who beat nonviolent students opposed to that holocaust, can be qualified as "unfucking" anything, nor can it be blamed on Trump. Though he'll be guilty of the same crimes in time. Because the problem isn't any individual, it's capitalism and colonialism and white supremacy.

retail-investing is traumatized right now, ICE raids all over the country have people holding their wallets, data on retail performance in january is a bloodbath, this is all verifiable right now with a google result and not speculation. Trump & team just did a 3-day hitpiece on NVDA, likely for their puts; deepseek / chips tarriffs / chip sale regulation to china shit's going further down

Give it some time Trump is restructuring the IRS as we speak. All those 80000 agents nushbrain hired. Are either pink slipped or offered ICE positions. The irs has no fcking clue how to regulate or tax anything, not alone crypto. When I first stated 10 years ago. Lord wishes I bought bitcoin, instead of staking XRP mainly. My CPA filled as my filing as profit only. Meaning if I sent the crypto from an exchange sold it then to my bank. However I did a few times, but mostly my 50 different crypto I own go only to my wallets and cold storage or sit on the exchanges. SO I never made money technically on them. Idk I think we need clear rules. I would personally never use those crypto softwares. Hope my input

Did you read my comment? I was responding in good faith with the indictment information I found from ICE. You originally post no information.

Depreciation of cars only really matters if you want to sell or count them as part of your net worth. What that doesn’t count in is peace of mind from reliability, savings on energy consumption(compare the MPGe of a Tesla to an ICE car). Polluting your direct environment less through exhaust emissions. And just straight up owning something you want to own and enjoy and not going into debt for it. OP cashed in SOME gains for a nice car when their old car was dying, and ofc there is no guarantee that BTC will always go up even if we all think it will.
