How does this EMP look in terms of stability and viability?
I wat an EMP to wipe the market out.... put and end to it all
What is the probability that a Russian nuclear attack knocks out Robinhood servers so I don't have to repay my negative margin balance caused by excessive 75c BBBY calls?
Why do markets commonly behave contrary to EMP, in the context of immediate valuation?

Maybe, but not an ideal solution baby. A smart terrorist-dork would then launch a few drones in first wave, have them taken out with the EMP defense, which also takes out your own needed countermeasures such as cameras, motion detectors, etc, and leaves you more vulnerable than before to additional drone waves or even more conventional attacks.
An well targeted EMP could take out all electronic devices in pretty wide radius. That's probably the route I would take if I were in the position.
No one can answer a person's risk tolerance. You should always have a diversified portfolio. I would definitely lean heavier into tech because of this (40%) spread out. If your not in tech, then you will miss the opportunity for big gains. However, no one should be 100% into tech because like I said, we will have winners and losers. If you need to go 100%, then do QQQ or something like that instead of individual companies. It's too early to pick winners and losers with the exception of the MAG7. The difference now is their balance sheets are ridiculous compared to dot com. Let's put this into perspective. CISCO who was the leader of the dot come at it's peak had a market cap of 500 billion and earned 4 billion in Net Income a year with about 4 billion in cash on it's balance sheet at peak. NVDA has 60 billion in cash with a 4.5 Trillion Market Cap. It could literally fail multiple generations and recover. NVDA had 70+ Billion in Net Income in 2025. The numbers are mind blowing. TLDR: Buy tech but don't try to pick winners. If you have to pick a winner, go MAG 7 route. Either way, increase leverage to tech with a balanced portfolio. Literally everything in the world uses some sort of tech and tech will only get bigger, better and faster. Unless we get hit with an EMP, lol.

Someone drop an EMP and gey it over with
BRB, buying calls on EMP's...
Bers just got hit with an EMP and will be defenseless against full scale Shrek dickening
why shit corn green....lol they could just EMP the middle east and fry all the electric..game over
I think you are quoting results for BPL-3. The EMP-1 is a different drug. Emp = oral, treats social anxiety and depression. It is in phase 2 ( earlier than bpl3) and is performing as expected. This is a therapy-assisted treatment where drug has all the good feels from mdma, but none of the visuals. BPL3-nasal spray, phase 2b, fastracked by FDA. Patient takes this in a supervised setting (dr. Office). Patient experiences a full traditional mdma psychedelic event for 1 to 2 hours. No therapy. Treatment protocol is similar to Ketamine. BPL3 is the headliner because it fits well with existing treatment protocols. The medical community is struggling to define medication-assisted therapy best practices. Someone taking mdma cranks up the neuroplastidity and then hands the reprogramming off to a therapist that has no special training and limited experience. That is a hard pass for me. Getting EMP-1 to mainstream use and profitable is like hiking the PCT compared to BPL-3 which is more like running a marathon.
The only real, non Hollywood EMP of any utility is a nuke. And if nukes are flying, your corn is $0 anyway.
lol crypto bros in Dubai...guess what when electric gone...your coin aint worth a shit..and one EMP will erase all your cold wallets and drives
It would be real funni to see an EMP go off in iran.
EMP generators need to become easy to make, and sold.
This is gonna go sideways in less than 18 months and the only way to stop it will be an EMP.
Thanks for the tip. Although, EMP-01 has shown comparable symptom reductions in a shorter treatment window (6 weeks vs 8-12 weeks) with two doses vs a daily therapy. Not working in the field, but it still sounds superior.
Dump is because of this sentence, "The company also highlighted that symptom reductions observed after two doses over six weeks were comparable in cross-trial comparisons to outcomes typically reported after 8 to 12 weeks of daily SSRI or SNRI therapy." Comparable to current standard therapy (Zoloft) is not great news. One of the dirty secrets of anxiety and depression medication is that new drugs can get approval from the FDA if the efficacy is at least as effective as currently available drugs. So instead of being a better drug, EMP-01 enters a crowded SSRI and SNRI field as an alternative to the entrenched medication. Doctors are generally conservative in prescribing medication. If they have to choose between Paxil which has 35 years of treatment history and EMP-01 which has no history and is associated with one of the most popular illegal drugs in the last 50 years, doctors are going to go with Paxil. I can't tell if that sentence is from the company or the reporter, but this study was not looking at efficacy. Throwing that sentence in was super irresponsible. As someone else pointed out, this study had no concurrent therapeutic modalities which are baked into the SSRI/SNRI efficacy numbers. Ideally, EMP-01 will show far better efficacy than SSRI/SNRIs. Absent efficacy improvement, fewer side effects, shorter half-life, or lower addictive properties could also give EMP-01 an advantage. However, for EMP-01 to be a homerun, efficacy needs to be double digits higher than SSRI/SNRI.
ATAI will moon today, encouraging result of EMP-01
..and Claude gets assassinated. Big Pharma detonates the EMP.
I don't see anyone building iPhones with Bitcoin traces or anyone wearing Bitcoin coated jewelry. A tangible asset will always be more stable than an intangible asset for the very fact that it will always exist in perpetuity, which you cannot say for Bitcoin or stocks. If a global EMP goes off, gold and houses will still be around.
Wonder if they will test their secret weapon on a bigger target this time, EMP across Iran would be juicy
They have purpose! Like in the event of a world wide electrical outage or EMP attack you can uhhh.. trade them as IOUs for phantom bread and milk.
Does the Optimus Robot come with a mini EMP bomb for when it malfunctions or is over rode by a bad actor?
Start building your micro EMP devices yesterday
This is inaccurate, there won’t need to be a circuit breaker with multiple EMP pulses being released globally
If the apocalypse hits, better to barter with seeds, sugar, and drive a mil spec 1008 or 1009. It will run even after exposure to EMP.
Can't drones be taken out by EMP blasts or Phalanx CIWS?
I like to smoke a joint and put some music on. Then I find some medial task or hobby that I can do while my mind wanders on to what the future will look like in 10 years. I try to think of what industry will be huge. Things that haven't already "popped off" like AI for example. In fact using the big winners of today can help predict what the winners of the future will be. What will be huge if AI succeeds? Personal EMP protective suit perhaps? Or maybe that little Antimony company in a geographically strategic location? And if AI fails? We'll shit maybe Ford motor company makes a comeback and we all have to take our asses back on the freeway. This is just an example of a brainstorm, have a pen and paper and write down some of these ideas.... Personal emp protective suit into googs, see if it exists or if anyone already makes something like that. Can I invest in that company? Manage risk and monitor debt/dilution/PRs By doing this I got onto rklb july/Aug 2024 around 5$ and at one point held 19 jan15'25 8$ call contracts for about 2500$ down...I sold at 7500$ and bitched out. Clearly I'm a rookie but the method is pure and my conviction in my picks grows stronger...conviction is easier to have when risk is managed. Currently buying GANX. Cheers
I mean you're screwed even if you have a car that's uneffected by the EMP. Other cars might crash right into you because they still have momentum and the driver can't control them anymore. Plus you wouldn't be able to drive anywhere with so many dead cars clogging the road.
They may or may not be viable. But we do have solar coronas that already disrupt communications and electricity at tiny levels. A big corona event would be very disruptive. But really we don’t need sci fi or naturally events to screw us. What’s more likely is a server/network problem that knocks everyone offline. We’ve already had them, including this year. People freak out very fast when their bank site doesn’t come up. With cloud convergence on an ever-shrinking number of profit-above-performance megacorps, each run by people who can’t kneel to fascistic impulses fast enough, we’ll have the effects of EMP without there needing to be an EMP.
They do exist and the US has them in their arsenal but they are wildly different from what most people think. They are either non kinetic, like anti-drone and missile microwave weapons, or have a very low range and can be attached to cruise missiles or launched from fighters to disable enemy electronics in a relatively small area. But yes EMP weapons that can wipeout an entire city worth of electronics are pure sci-fi as of now.
EMP usually means a nuclear bomb is coming soon after
if a city gets hit by EMP i think there are bigger problems than Waymo not working (and our cars' computer system may go haywire as well). Maybe we need to build shield batteries in every block...
Will spike at 1 billion per share as the first EMP shockwave hits the Bloomberg terminals
Unless an EMP happens, META has a foot in the race. You’re just wrong. This isn’t bitcoin an unstable currency that will never be able to used in a productive economy.
Aha, that's where you are wrong! I had the immense foresight the keep my ripped dvd collection from the mid 2000s and put one of those tiny TVs with a built in dvd player into a faraday cage, so it survived the EMP. For the price of just 3 molerats you may enter the cinema cave. This week we are showing Jarhead and Revenge of the Sith.
I used to think that the greed of the capital owners would not allow them to cede power to autonomous systems. Most people that would go doomer about AI worried about AI takeover apocalypse(s), but I often pointed out that any human accessible kill switches act as yokes on a slave (or oxen if you're squeamish). If you can go to the power plant powering the AI and pull a lever to kill the station, then you can just shut the AI off, crisis averted. Unless an AI has control of the entire supply chain, logistics, and replication and repair, it essentially enslaved by us, who do control those things. So I always figured that unlimited greed and lust for power meant that there will always be layers of yokes on AI's, in the form of any number of control mechanisms, including emergency EMP blasts, maintaining control of replication and supply chains etc. But now I can't help but think that this unlimited lust for more is going to lead them to release every yoke available because their greed outweighs their ability to understand the quantity of risk for what they're releasing.
That's depressing. I've gotten lazy about using cash lately, but isn't cash a foundational lube for the whole system? I guess if you're a mega-institution nothing matters; the world is mere material for your black hole self, and you could eat your arm and not feel anything, because everyone else will always remain food too. I'm not even thinking of theoretical things like an EMP or global internet outage (wait a minute...), but if you ACTUALLY remove all cash flow, doesn't that result in a fully crystalized system, with no buffer? I mean, without cash (setting aside the good faith of the empire for a moment), all money IS social credit. It can't physically be anything else besides... Bitcoin was "supposed" to allow it to be something other than social credit, but even if it was workable at scale, the amount of extra Layers required to even begin that is silly.
Sure, but have you considered the possibility of alien satellites that emits a massive EMP blast every hour?
Are NVDA chips EMP proof?
My truck will survive an EMP. I’ll be the one collecting data someday.
Annnnd it says nothing about an EMP
China just EMP’d two US aircraft
Forget EMP, something similar to Carrington Event will destroy powergrids for years and fake internet currency with it.
Because one can survive an EMP and the other can't
China can EMP my Btc, not my Gold LOL
One EMP and every modern warfare technology is out of action lol
Ok well the only rational counter to that is spamming emp weapons, calls on EMP companies
Giant solar EMP event may be next black swan especially for crypto
A literal EMP could be dropped on America and SPY would launch to a $1000 a share
At this point, a literal EMP could be dropped from space and detonated on America, and a year later, when power is restored, SPY would gap open at $1000 a share.
A literal EMP could be detonated on America, and a year later when power is finally restored, SPY would gap up to $1000 a share.
So an easy EMP target? Gang busters.
Anything that disrupts power generation en-mass to the point where it can't be wasted on stupid shit anymore. Meteor EMP is plausible. Other things would survive and come back but crypto definitely might not because it's permanently-disruptable. The only thing keeping it going is the current speculative nature. A big enough disruption could kill it for good.
AeroVironment (S&P small cap 600, etc..) has made the Switchblade man-portable drone since 2011. It’s a known company but you can trace its stock. Many smaller combat drones are simply commercial cargo drones sent on a one way ticket with explosives and now AI attached, though some are becoming remote controlled mini attack aircraft. Thinking any steady company that makes capable cargo drones .. and maybe a future ETF made of these will get it as a side bennie. The big guys? Knowing something about weapons systems they’ll probably have to be additionally ruggedized against EMP, etc .. in an engineering lab to qualify with military standards = so probably the existing big defense contractors in the future.
Beyond wanting to reestablish an empire, Russians are paranoid as fuck about being invaded. The lengths the Soviet Union went to make themselves impossible to conquer are hard for westerners to imagine. They were refurbishing WW2 bolt action rifles and stashing them in caves through the 70s. They even stashed old coal fired locomotives on special side rail lines all over the country to use as backups in case of an EMP blast from nukes. After losing 30 million people in WW2, it’s understandable to a certain extent but Putins gents really the last one raised by folks impacted by the war. They want to have a buffer between them and the west. It’s not all just propaganda unfortunately.
I just don't understand it in general its not real money so it should be completely worthless in my opinion and would rather see an EMP bomb take it all out
Ya everything you said is correct. It's also a currency that's dependent on electricity and internet to be receivable or spendable, so if there's ever a major grid problem, EMP, global natural disaster, war, etc. that takes out infrastructure, it becomes inaccessible. It's also too complicated for non-techy people to use, like most of our grandmothers couldn't use it safely. Overall it's just a big pyramid scheme.
how so? "cbdc? that's programmable surveillance" -- bitcoin is open-source, consensus driven "fiat? infinite money printing, debt slavery, asset inflation" -- bitcoin can't be printed, you can't create debt out of thin air to fund your government, bitcoin is an asset itself "gold? centralized, hard to verify, easy to seize" -- bitcoin is decentralized, easy to verify, hard to sieze and there's other advantages, e.g. use nukes and EMP shocks to destroy 99% of the bitcoin network, and it will just keep chugging along as before; use the same on banks, well...
Gold is way overpriced as well, but at least is a physical asset that has value in multiple markets (jewelry, electronics, etc). I’m personally not interested in owning “assets” that are only 1s and 0s on some cloud storage system—there’s nothing to inherently give it a value floor. Plus, Bitcoin could all disappear with one big solar storm or EMP attack.
One EMP and they all roll over
You can take 500 1-oz silver rounds into a local coin shop and leave with $18,000 and no paperwork needed. Not saying that you don’t have to pay taxes, but it’s a lot less documentation than selling an ETF. If planning to keep 6 months of spendable cash on hand for emergencies, dollars are great but precious metals usually do better against inflation. So for long term, they’re better than mattress money. Preparedness for the zombie apocalypse and/or EMP detonation is kind of less likely but an added bonus, I guess.
If society breaks down, it.can be physically carried and traded. Melted down into smaller quantities if needed. It would survive a EMP.
Power just went out in my neighborhood, must be an EMP idk
Does Israel or Iran have an EMP bomb? Seems like it would render defensive measures mostly usless.
I keep my Nintendo Switch and gameboy color in a Faraday Cage in case of an EMP strike
We should stop it, we have become too good at war that this is a complete waste of money. It would be largely space based and would shift the center of gravity (aka our Achilles heel) of our military to space. So now the majority of our comms, GPS, over-the-horizon missile defense, and a huge chunk of our GDP is space dependent, that is basically begging for near peer rival to drop a nuke in space and EMP everything. Especially if that country had: 1. A moon base to have their space based comms fall back to after all the satellites fell to the earth 2. Didn’t have a large international presence that required a space communication system And 3. Only had to defend a continuous continent upon which you could have reliable optical cables to maintain communications. It is useless against any sub-state organization and any near-peer would easily bring it down.
As in things had value because they were actually backed by somrthing. Also the fake selling point of BTC is being WW3 proof. It's 100% dependant on controlled infrastructure, ISP, electricity, hardware. No computers, no electricity, EMP, ISP ban etc. it exists because it is allowed to exist
Brilliant Pebbles operate in LEO (ICBMs, let alone smaller IRBMs etc, never get close to GSO, which is more expensive to get to anyways). The idea is that you have enough of them in periodic orbits that in any given window you can intercept all enemy missiles. This isn't actually as crazy as it sounds. It was probably technically feasible [but ludicrously expensive] in the 1990s, but SpaceX's Starlink is already near the size of most proposed Brilliant Pebbles schemes and operates in a similar orbital regime. We've also conducted successful exoatmospheric intercepts of IRBMs using ground-based missiles, which is actually a significantly more difficult task. The main problems remaining are sensors [networking is largely taken care of with the evolution of comm lasers] for guidance onto target, and hardening against nuclear EMP and radiation "noise". There's also more exotic schemes, including for stealth UAVs with minaturized YAL-1 style lasers to burn through ballistic missiles in the boost stage [with the idea being that they're constantly orbiting places like North Korea], and for direct energy weapons, and of course old standbys like nuclear-tipped interceptor rockets, but the Brilliant Pebbles themselves are pretty feasible.
When the EU no longer gives a shit about what the USA wants because of tariffs, they won't ban the sale of ASML systems to SMIC (not to be confused with SMCI Supermicro) and the EUV tech will get them down to 2-3nm overnight. Sure, heavily subsidized by the Chinese government...but whatev...the end result is breaking TSMC's stranglehold on the highest grade silicon fab. The chip designs in China are meh - copies/extensions of existing ARM/x86 tech...they even straight up steal the licensing off ARM. But...if the tariffs, and service cuts in the USA are to continue the science and engineering brain-drain will happen. Whether to the EU or Asian under China's influence doesn't matter. Cock-blocking China on chip exports ...meh, it's strategic, not a long term solution. Drone AI that can aim-bot your head from 50yrds for <$1000/drone already exists - thank MIT drone labs 10yrs ago. Drop them out of a plane with GPS grid for them to kill all the people not carrying a red arm-band or IR flash on their helmet....easy mode. How many can you deploy? China can build them faster. They'll all be susceptible to EMP so...meh it's not much different than a WMD war anyway. Ukraine is using radio remotes ...it's stone-age compared to what is coming. The tech for an ai drone is already used in those AI cameras that read license plate tech and identify persons for home surveillance that's not an NVDA gpu export. Training tech is, but that's already out there.
A dome would have to protect the ground up to 3mi high for there to be no physical damage. There would still be damage to electronics from EMP waves. A golden dome would have to be in space even though space starts at about 60mi
Moscow’s a smoking hole? SPY +0.3% London evaporates? Gold flat, Bitcoin +12% Taiwan Strait turns into an EMP soup? TSMC up on “supply squeeze” narrative. Nuclear apocalypse? Buy the crater.
When will bears realize that a literal EMP could be dropped on this country, taking out the entire power system, and price would still pump to a million dollars a share. THE MARKET DEFIES THE LAWS OF NATURE.
No problem. Another way to look at this is to realize that a lightning bolt is a highly localized EMP blast. Lightning can set fires and damage anything that isn't protected, like a person standing in a field in a rainstorm, but computers don't break just because there was a lightning strike nearby. Airplanes routinely get hit by lightning, but they don't fall out of the sky when that happens.
Cars, trucks and tractors will all work after an EMP blast. The metal body acts as a Faraday cage to route electrons away from the sensitive stuff in the middle. This is why the safest place to be in a lightning storm is inside a car.
An EMP blast won't wipe out all machines in existence. It will set fire to power lines and blow up transformers, but that's because a power line is an antenna hundreds of miles long that's going to gather lots of energy from the blast. Any electronics that are reasonably well shielded will be safe if they aren't plugged in. A computer simply isn't a big enough antenna to gather enough energy to damage it, and the case acts as a Faraday cage to route electrons away from the sensitive stuff in the middle. Electronics that are plugged in they might get their power supplies fried if fuses and circuit breakers fail, but power supplies can be replaced and the data stored on the drives won't be erased. If you think an EMP attack is eminent, just unplug your computer and put it in a metal box, like a washing machine. It will be perfectly safe there. Data centers like the ones investment banks use are prepared for EMP events. Any rooms containing computers will be giant Faraday cages. All data will get backed up to multiple locations, at least one of which will be off-site. When there are billions of dollars stored on hard drives, you can be sure that the owners of those drives have taken multiple steps to protect their data against a sudden blast of electrons. An EMP attack would probably end trading for the day, but it won't cause any money to just evaporate.
Yeah, in a full nuclear exchange with EMP blasts, your portfolio allocation becomes irrelevant, paper assets effectively hit zero. Your real portfolio would be survival essentials, shelf-stable food, water purification, medical supplies, and practical skills. Gold might retain some value for local trading, but only after immediate survival needs are met. Financial markets require functioning infrastructure and societal stability, both gone in that scenario.
Ah yes, Bers rejoice as it is the Bols providing the ultimate signal of market doom: Thinking BTC Sailor Moon knows more than Big Boss Ber Daddy Buffet. Not long now. Per one of my moves, on every climb back to ATH stupidity, going to buy a Put that went down to $0.05 - $0.01 depending on how aggressive the increase was as far out as possible. BTC is a house of nothing and will be forgotten as soon as the first EMP Nuke hits that atmosphere. B Man's house in Omaha will still be there because Nebraska would not be one of the prime targets.
It warrants a dip down to the price before the teaser trailer was released. Fuck them, I hope an EMP wipes their servers.
That'd really suggest some sort of natural source EMP that took down one part of the grid and the rest went through a failure cascade as designed.
There was gold which was deemed to have value by society before electricity and EMP existed. You're mistaking my point, I'm not saying 'cash' isn't digital I'm just saying BTC isn't what people say it is.
Gold would be completely worthless if an EMP were to go off. You can’t eat gold, and with how heavily we rely on technology for our food, the world would starve. All currency is dependent on infrastructure. How much money do you have? How much of that is an actual physical cash versus how much is in a bank account? Use your brain. You already rely on digital currency that can’t be seen, touched, and has no utility value
The only EMP proof infrastructure are the ICBMs.
EMP, and what is with the workers?
Which will never not be regarded. Makes me want to make a homemade EMP.
JPow wrecked kids with his fall camo Ump45 and rpg. Pred missile-> pavelow->nuke Mango noobtubed with an ACR and one man army. Care package -> emergency airdrop -> EMP
If I remember right there was a similar short lived effect after 9/11 due to all the planes being grounded. Less thin cloud cover from contrails (NOT CHEMTRAILS) meant the earth absorbed more heat. Pretty interesting finding and kind of damning. The things we do to contribute to climate change actually slightly hinder it too, or at least slow the measurable effects. Going cold turkey as in a massive EMP event would likely lead to a period of more accelerated climate change. Wild stuff.
Me to GPT: You have 1 chance to solve this our I will deploy and EMP and shut you off
Bro. If 2020 to 2024 didn't send me running to sell. Almost nothing will. Short of nuke/EMP and true SHTF. BLM riots x 10 and collapse of infrastructure.
These guys replying to you think it would be an EMP from a country in an act of war… what about the giant ball of gas in our solar system that farts CMEs at us? Carrington event? Big enough flare and we’re donezo. Probably what happened to the ancient civilizations here, fucks with our magnetic field and creates pole shifts, earf quakes, etc.
If an EMP hits global banking systems go down, internet goes down, payments stop working, everything is computer buddy.
Imagine buying a digital currency and claiming you bought “gold” . But when a EMP hits us where is your “gold”? 
Better than BTC after an EMP
Also, Crypto is worthless of there's a global EMP. It needs nodes. Bold of people to assume the computers will still be up on the other side.
Here is the challenge that we might be forgetting about. Covid should have been a wake up call to have every country to realize that the supply chains and diversification of resources globally, while have a great way to lower costs, there are issues during a crisis. We are one more pandemic or crisis away from a serious "how do I get basic or emergency items to the country?" Almost all ppe is made overseas, including many pharmaceutical medicines. That is an issue. You add the technology issue of all semiconductors, or at least most, are made in an area of the world that is hostile to us... that is also an issue. It is not just a matter of who gets Ai and llm first, but also who controls the equipment for them. If you add the example that every transport for the President is taken back to the bolts and reassembled to verify nothing out of the ordinary is there, but we trust that nothing is embedded in our personal devices we use... that is a hiccup too. Then you think of our energy grids, energy needs, and how decimated they are... one EMP or cyber attack and we are f'ed. We need power for the technology, food, and medical in country, and not have a debt that a country like China or somewhere else can dump almost $1T in US bonds on the market to cause an issue like or worse than the last 6 calendar days. There is a lot to fix, and unfortunately a lot needs to be done ASAP because it is overdue. Hell, I got caught in the cross hairs during this bs... I lost a lot... realized loss, not just paper. But I also know if someone of these things don't get handled at "warp speed", things will be much, much, much worse if the US falls. The world relies on the US for patrolling the seas... we took this over from the Brits after WWII. We are the benchmark currency for trade, and one of the largest purchasers to population... besides other items. If the US doesn't show strength and leadership... everything started after WWII is gone and we become another Egypt, Greece, Rome, Mongolia, Great Britain, etc for the history books. Just some food for thought.
Not when the power goes out due to the China EMP 
Bitcoin is worthless if the internet goes down like in an EMP
>we should not have fully electronic cars Im actually quite pro electronic cars, im just VERY against tesla. Also im 1000% sure there is place for EVs in military, but again not from tesla. >if the entire squadron gets bricked with one EMP Funny thing: im pretty ceratin Elon himself could brick them as he wishes, not to mention EMP atacks or hackers
