Bill Gates Was Right: U.S. Tech Sanctions Backfired 🚨
The strategy to "blockade" China has officially hit a wall. Years ago, Bill Gates warned that suppressing China would only accelerate their independence. Looking at the 2024-2025 data, he was spot on. Instead of slowing down, the "Eastern Giant" leveled up. Here’s the reality check:
Huawei’s Resilience: Despite massive sanctions, Huawei poured over 1.1 trillion yuan into R&D over a decade. Result? The Mate60 Pro’s Kirin chip and HarmonyOS (now 800M+ devices) shattered the "blockade" myth.
SMIC's Rise: SMIC didn't shrink; it doubled its revenue since 2018, becoming the world's 2nd largest foundry by revenue.
The AI Pivot: While the U.S. restricted chips, DeepSeek proved that China could train top-tier AI models (DeepSeek-R1) at a fraction of the cost of Silicon Valley giants.
Economic Backfire: NVIDIA, Qualcomm, and Intel are feeling the sting. Reports show the U.S. risks losing 18% of its semiconductor market share due to decoupling—Silicon Valley is losing jobs while China’s IC exports surged 17.4% in 2024.
The Bottom Line: You can't stop innovation by building walls; you only force your competitor to build their own ladder. China has moved from "import-dependent" to "self-controlled" in record time. $RIVER $GPS $PIPPIN Is the era of U.S. tech hegemony ending? Let’s discuss below. 👇 #DeepSeek #TechWar #RiskAssetsMarketShock
Mass sell-off happened because three shocks hit at once: macro risk-off, collapsing liquidity, and leveraged positioning that was too crowded long. Reuters and market desks flagged a global de-risking wave tied to tech valuation stress, AI-capex concerns, tariff/trade headlines, and uncertainty around the Fed path—crypto got treated like high-beta tech and got sold hard with everything else.
Then the liquidation engine took over. Once BTC cracked key levels, forced unwinds snowballed: Reuters reported about $2.5B in bitcoin liquidations in the volatility episode, and other market reports showed repeated $1B+ 24h liquidation windows. That is not discretionary selling—it is mechanical deleveraging, and it accelerates downside beyond what spot-only flow would do.
Third driver: thin order books / weak participation amplified every move. Reports showed global crypto turnover shrinking sharply (around $111B versus much higher prior peaks), meaning less depth to absorb large sells. In low-liquidity tape, support breaks faster, wicks get violent, and altcoins underperform as market makers widen risk. That’s exactly the “air-pocket” behavior traders saw this week.
The base case is continued high volatility with headline-driven squeezes until macro stabilizes and liquidity rebuilds. If risk assets stay fragile, BTC can retest the $60K zone (some analysts even cite $55K–$60K as stress range). If equities and risk sentiment stabilize, expect reflex rallies first, then trend confirmation only after sustained reclaim/hold of major resistance (around $70K+). Clear tactical target: downside watch $60K, upside trigger daily holds above $70K, extension target $78K if momentum persists. #TradeWar
Epstein is probably alive and was spotted on the streets of Tel Aviv
A photo is gaining popularity online, showing a person who looks incredibly similar to Jeffrey Epstein walking through the streets of Tel Aviv.
The man in the photo has the same lips, hair, ears, and nose as Epstein, moreover, he is wearing glasses worth $1200.
In addition to all this, according to a theory circulating online, he played Fortnite while being in the "afterlife":
— The declassified materials mention the nickname littlestjeff1, to which V-bucks (in-game currency) were purchased from Epstein's email in 2019; — The same nickname appears in other receipts and services; — The nickname was checked through Fortnite Tracker and gaming activity was found after Epstein's official date of death in 2019; — Judging by the profile's geolocation, the player is located in Israel.
The most interesting part: as soon as the theory spread on social media, the account was suddenly made private, and mentions of it began to disappear from the Wayback Machine.
if you are still buying this coin u probably are the dumbest person in the world $Trump
