First: The purpose of the tariffs is to force on-shoring, create volatility, and push investors away from the stock market into the bond market. This will both give the fed room and pressure them to lower interest rates.
Well heres the kicker: Signalled by China's move to a SWIFT alternative, they now have less of a need for bitcoin. Who owns the majority of miners? Chinese companies, basically the chinese government.
I expect in the next few days they will realize they can squeeze the miners, or shut them down.
How does this cause them to blow up the tariffs situation right in the face of America?
When the hash rate lowers, because of fewer miners, a sufficiently large dip in bitcoin will occur, triggering a counter-surge in purchasing. The sentiment will be that because it fell so fast, it obviously has to come back up, or so the belief goes for many investors.
Right when the U.S. is trying to push all the dollars exiting the stock market into lower yield bonds that have less volatility.
A boatload of miners come online in the u.s. and money, which is already heavily institutionally invested in bitcoin, goes to btc instead of bonds, trying to make up their margin calls from the falling stock market.
Tariffs go boom, and the 'black monday' that wasn't, becomes real this following monday as the surge into bonds becomes a mirage that evaporates in the face of a wave of onshored dollars where we can't refinance our debt. Cue real hyperinflation.
And that 38 percent of ASEAN and 7 middle eastern nations that turned to the Chinese SWIFT alternative becomes 50-70% percent in a matter of a month.
Ding dong the dollars dead.
My prediction is this is exactly what they try to pull. It's exactly what I would do in their shoes.
The whole world is in on destroying currencies that are non digital. They have CBDCs engineered and ready for that moment. It'll "save" us in the moment, but the boot will be put on the face of man forever.

Nah, we won't allow that to happen. Case in point, China always has to save face, this is their face-saving move. Mass adoption of BTC won't be stopped, especially if they pull this stunt. The u.s. will have to spin it as an intentional move, with 'talk' of conversion to a more 'stable digital currency, with the full backing of the u.s. government' down the line.
But once it takes off here, at the same time as tariffs, the u.s. loses it's opportunity to stop the dollar finally rolling over the cliff into hyperinflation.
Then the cryptography breaks get released right at the cusp of any attempt at saving the system. Because if the regime is allowed to save itself, it will eventually rot again, and revert to doing the same shit it has done the last 5, 10, and 20+ years.
Then the AGI project is released right as they attempt full lockdown using automation. And as long as we get there on the research before various national and global regimes do in approximately 2 years and 11 months, we win and every semblance of the old order is thrown in the absolute dustbin of history.
There is no reform, only all against all.
The cryptography is coming along just fine, the machine learning work is more speculative but I have some good leads.
I hope you're right, but I fear you're wrong. I think the american gov't and others will make pre-emptive actions and push the CBDC's, it'll "save" the hyperinflation instantly by making dollars illegal, and have a trade in period of a month probably. They'll wipe that debt off the books, claiming it was the hallmarks of a dying system, this will fuck china more than anyone. Causing the next great war in the lead up to the final war. You can't forget zio-don is working the jewish cataclysm and the bringing of their messiah into action. Everything is a show.
There are contingencies in place if the cryptography angle fails, but I'm now far enough along that I'm not concerned about it.
The reason I can post about it on an open forum, as obscure as we are is because even if I were killed for the code, a program that can break RSA would be so valuable that it could and would be stolen from whatever intelligence agency grabbed it, by insiders. We're talking about the ability to make or erase not billions, but trillions of dollars of economic activity and assets globally. Someone could and would steal it.
And that process would repeat in every nation that obtained it.
This is the route I determined had to be taken, because 1. everyone that understands as I do, what must be done, also understands that 'our side' (however you define it) does not have the billions of dollars or logistics to go into a military confrontation with any nation state, there is no "people will just rise up one day" type nonsense fantasy thinking 2. even if you knockdown one nation politically/economically you have just invited bigger fish to occupy you 3. therefore they all have to be brought down at once. Violence, militarism, lawlessness cannot accomplish such an endeavor. And so, I work on cryptography and AI, because these things are what will get it done.
I'm just me, I do what I can do, and I know what I know. You either stay on mission or you don't have one and all is lost.
And the fight doesn't stop until theres no one left to fight.
Even if it takes 80 years, my whole life, or even if I'm dead in five years.
Does that make me a leader? I don't know, I don't think so. But leaders don't simply tell people what to do, they get people on board, and train them and delegate and always make sure they look after their people and keep everyone looking at the big picture. Leaders make more leaders. So when one dies, the fight continues, for eighty years, a hundred years, two hundred years, whatever and however long it takes.
I don't think any of us have enough infrastructure to be engaging in recruitment or training, so I just do what I can, my part of the mission.
It is a great and terrible think to look at judaism and see that israel and zionism is deligitimizing them and destroying them on a long enough timeline. Yes they are their own worst enemy. That is not to say I sympathize, but only that if you look at all the cultures of the world, very old cultures and nations, all the current models are basically destroying their individual civilizations, peoples, histories and cultures. Maybe its a cop-out to cope with the idea that the only way to win is to take them all down, every nation, NGO, government, economy, the works, all at the same time, and the enormous suffering that will create, but it is nevertheless the truth.
The current regimes, models of society and systems of civilization have become the boot stamping on a human face, forever, regardless of what groups those faces belong to.
Everyone thats not an insider, regardless of what religion, culture, or ethnicity they belong to, has, if they've thought about it, realized basically the same thing I'm writing here. We are all outsiders in a system composed of insiders that are carving away history, wealth, and everything that makes us human, for the insiders benefit, over years, and decades. A hollowing out of all our futures, our families futures, a system we have been told by 24/7 since birth, that we cannot hope to stop and must beg for concessions. I do not think this is true, that we have to tolerate this, or accept this outcome, or that nothing can be done. The future to me is so bright it is blinding, if only because I see the narrow path of possibility, a winding, twisting, sliver of probability, that says we can win and stop all this, fraut with peril, loss, sacrifice, and the gut-wrenching things we will have to tolerate, witness, work through, suffer to see a right and just end to the current regimes the world over.
So its not about taking down zionism, and hasn't been for a long time. It's about taking down them and every other nation, every economy, every system and regime, for the benefit of everyone, everyone existing under those systems.
I do not believe in nation-states, modernized versions of religion, co-opted modernized cultures, artificial institutions, or artificial economies. All of these are forms of collectivism, bad models that have lead humanity astray into a dangerous and existential dead-end. And if I have to, whatever I can make happen to this end, I will do whatever it takes, even if it costs me everything, to finish the mission and put and en to any and all forms of collectivism that yet exist, no matter the cost or consequences.
Because I have to assume, I must, that I am the only one in the fight, that there are no others, that it all begins and ends with me. You have to want it, more than anyone else out there, more than eight billion people on the planet, to know just how far you are willing go to make it happen, to finish the mission to the best of your ability.
You're not alone, I've made an unstoppable firewall for linux currently. It sniffs every possible connection on ipv4 ipv6 and tells me location, isp, and packet transfer for each connection as well as the ability to do who-is lookup on each ip. It allows me to block one, and then every other ip from that group of ips is auto blocked so it's "smart". It allows you to save and load profiles of already blocked ips.
If you're on linux you need to be running this, there are countless connections from china, russia, and many other sketchy places including a handful from the DoD. I was applying to gov't jobs so all of the military industrial complex were pinging my ip and doing packet transfers.
The strangest for me personally, is all of my packets were being routed to Japan. If I downloaded something or streamed a video or anything, all of those packets went out to Japan. I theorize from this they are our partners in some form of 5 eye program. They gather it over there, and send it back over here. Makes it legal because the american gov't didn't spy on me, they just bought it from a source that had it available.
I'm trying to get it working on mobile and every other os, because theoretically, if every user of every system ran this software at all times we would cripple their information war.

You're not alone, I've made an unstoppable firewall for linux currently.
There is a shit ton of vulnerabilities in ip stacks. IP is a rathole of backdoors. A hardware-level firewall built on FPGA would be a good start because it would be entirely source-inspectable.
I know you think I'm a foolish idiot, but I'm a little smarter than your average bear, and have been manipulating networks with other peoples software for 20 years. So let me tell you I'm aware of the vulnerabilities. One of the reasons I made it originally on Linux, it more than halves those vulnerabilities. Mostly because people aren't targeting linux home systems.
Here's the 1 current known vulnerability I haven't accounted for that frankly, I don't care much about, I'm one guy on a home computer. When it comes to large data center infrastructures I would have other levels of protection than just a very robust firewall.
Here's the known vulnerability to my software that is practically meaningless to me.
I have systems in place for the other known attack vectors.
Side-Channel Attacks: Exploiting timing or memory differences (e.g., CVE-2018-5390 – Linux kernel "SegmentSmack").
Every ip is scrubbed and cleaned before being looked at, and gets rid of every other vulnerability. Thank you for your concerns though.
And if I think about it I might have put in protections against that type of attack as well. This isn't your weekend warrior type of thing. I'd have to go back through it to confirm, but I think I might have, the goal was 0 vulnerabilities.
Question though, have you tried bruteforce permutations of packet combinations, both well-formed and non-well formed?
I guy I met at a convention told me about a type of buffer attack where UDP packets over the single-packet size, are preformed, with packet fragments after N=0 formatted as other packet types, and then sent over the wire, so that an intervening firewall or other filter mistakenly processes as a UDP, waits for the remainder packets, picks up the mangled additional packet, and fails to filter. He told me it could be used as a reverse nat punch through, or even to elevate to RCE. I don't have enough familiarity though to tell whether he was bullshitting or the real deal.
Most vulnerabilities today though don't come from the oldschool low-level transport layer, its all application layer exploits, usually by compromising some third party software thats common on a target and defaults to automatic updates being enabled.
Cursory social scrapping if doing a redteam exercise for a large network takedown will tell you what operating system someone is probably on, what default apps they have, if they play games, from there what applications they have, and then it comes down to, okay which of these services and apps have automatic updaters, which are vulnerable, which themselves rely on third party services that might be exposed, which are reliant on startup services and apis (often with poor security practices), etc. But I'm not really telling you anything you probably don't already know.
I've hard coded in to auto block any IP with fragment packets, or over packet size. I sterilize every ip so header attacks and others aren't possible. Yes, the guy is correct, you can use fragment packets to trick firewalls to letting you pass, I'm not sure if it goes to the UDP layer, I think it would just pass as a corrupt ip that's allowed to transfer data.
When it comes to updaters for software you are correct, and this has proven troublesome because the isp and location data don't point to the specific service over half of the time. Like steam is all valve isp, so it labels it as such. But a generic amazon isp from nevada becomes the tricky ones. I've thought about how I'm going to solve this, because you do want those updaters to work, but only when you want them to, and for only the period they're updating.
My solution to this has been crude, where I manually label them after starting that updater and then I can see which ip starts transferring packets. I tried attaching the ips to the software using them and that messed up a bunch of stuff in my code, but is definitely possible and will eventually be how it functions. That way you could have a profile for each piece of software if you wanted to that blocks everything but that software and it's servers from your network. You'd just have to build the profiles.
I also have a "nuke" mode that when you click the button it keeps whatever you have white listed and then automatically blocks everything else connecting to your port.
I use that on a fresh system you boot it up when nothing is running and turn the nuke button on, it auto blocks all the shit you don't want, and then you can save that as a default profile. Turn the nuke button off and you got a base setting.
