Why the U.S. and Europe Want It.
The U.S., Europe, and Russia are strategically competing over a landmass almost the size of Western Europe, inhabited by barely ~56,000 people.
Here is why!!
This is not hype. This is pure geopolitics.
Only the real reasons, no fluff.
1. Military and missile dominance
Greenland sits at the perfect strategic midpoint between North America and Europe.
The U.S. already operates Pituffik Space Base, which is critical for:
- Missile early-warning systems
- Space surveillance
- Arctic defense control
If Arctic tensions escalate, Greenland becomes a frontline military asset, not an island.
2. Control over future Arctic trade routes
Melting ice is opening new Arctic shipping lanes that:
- Cut Asia–Europe travel time massively
- Reduce dependence on Suez and Panama choke points
Whoever controls Greenland controls Arctic trade leverage for the next 50+ years.
3. Rare earth minerals and energy security
Greenland holds massive reserves of:#Greenland
- Rare earth elements
- Uranium
- Graphite
- Critical metals for EVs, AI, defense, and clean energy
The U.S. and Europe want supply chains independent of China.
Greenland is one of the few realistic alternatives.
4. Blocking China and Russia
Russia is militarizing the Arctic.
China openly calls itself a “near-Arctic state.”
If the West does not anchor Greenland, it loses Arctic influence permanently.
This is containment, not expansion.
5. Climate change rewrites global power
As ice melts, land that was useless becomes strategically priceless.
Greenland shifts from frozen isolation to:
- Resource hub
- Military hub
- Trade hub
This is not about today.
This is about who controls the world’s next strategic zone.
Everyone is talking about Greenland.
Very few understand that it is the future chessboard of global power.

When I think about Vanar, payments aren’t optional. They’re required if AI agents are supposed to do anything real. An agent can reason all it wants, but without native settlement, it stops at theory. Vanar treats payments as part of the core, not an extra layer.
AI agents don’t use wallets like people do. They need compliant settlement that runs on its own. Vanar builds that directly into the protocol. $VANRY is used for gas and transactions across the stack, so intelligence and payments stay connected. That’s what allows actual economic activity instead of isolated tests.
The system is modular, but nothing is disconnected. Kayon handles reasoning and explainability on-chain. Flows turns that reasoning into automated actions with controls. myNeutron keeps semantic memory so context carries forward. These pieces already exist and run together. This isn’t a concept pitch.
Vanar also isn’t confined to one chain. Starting on Base means these systems can operate where activity already exists. That expands reach and gives $VANRY usage outside a single environment.
What matters to me is that nothing here is retrofitted. Memory, reasoning, automation, and settlement were designed together. Because of that, $VANRY gains value from real usage across agents, applications, and enterprise systems, not speculation.
The stack is built to run continuously. Execution is fast. Costs stay low. Operations are carbon neutral. Every transaction, reasoning step, and automated flow uses $VANRY . That’s how the token ties directly to long-term, working AI infrastructure.

What I notice with Plasma’s Bitcoin bridge is that it doesn’t rely on a custodian holding BTC. The bridge works by anchoring Plasma state roots to Bitcoin on a schedule. From that, pBTC gets minted on Plasma. The security comes from Bitcoin itself, not from trusting a company.
Those Bitcoin commitments make the bridge verifiable. Anyone can check the state anchoring. That’s what gives it censorship resistance and transparency. BTC isn’t wrapped through a black box.
Once pBTC exists on Plasma, it can be used like any other asset in smart contracts. Lending, liquidity, collateral. When someone wants to exit, pBTC can be redeemed back to BTC with minimal trust involved. The periodic commitments are what keep that process auditable.
All of this runs alongside the rest of the network. PlasmaBFT handles transaction ordering. Reth runs the EVM logic. None of that changes. USDT transfers are still gasless through the paymaster. Basic sends stay free. More complex actions use XPL or approved gas tokens.
Security on the network side comes from Proof of Stake. XPL can be staked or delegated. Validators are paid through controlled inflation. Base fees are burned, which helps offset dilution over time.
There’s also a confidential payments module being worked on. That adds privacy for stablecoin transfers without breaking auditability or compliance paths.
For me, the Bitcoin bridge ties the system together. Bitcoin finality on one side, EVM programmability on the other. Cross-asset DeFi works without adding friction to stablecoin flows.

.This is not a meme.
This is not a fringe blog.
This is an actual newspaper article reporting that the Bank of England has been urged to prepare for financial collapse if aliens are officially confirmed.
Helen McCaw, who analyzed systemic financial risk at the Bank of England until 2012, formally warned Governor Andrew Bailey about what she calls “ontological shock” - the moment the public realizes reality itself is not what they were told.
Her warning is brutal:
Aliens wouldn’t cause the panic. The announcement would.
The instant confirmation drops, trust collapses, markets spiral, banks face runs, payment systems freeze, supply chains break, shortages follow - and social order starts cracking before people even understand what was said.
She predicts panic driven volatility, cascading bank failures, breakdowns in payments, and unrest driven by fear and scarcity. One sentence from the government. One confirmation. Financial chaos at machine speed.
McCaw, a Cambridge graduate now working in wealth management, bases her warning on recent U.S. official statements and declassifications suggesting non-human intelligence behind UAPs. She says preparation is required even if the probability is low - because the consequences would be historic and irreversible.
If aliens are “impossible”… why is a major newspaper printing this - and why is the global financial system quietly preparing for the announcement?

It finally happened.
Look at the data.
For the first time in three decades, central banks now hold more gold than U.S. Treasury debt.
That alone should stop you cold.
Because this isn’t a market trade.
It’s a sovereign signal.
And it should be especially concerning if you live in the United States.
THIS IS A LOSS OF TRUST — NOT A SEARCH FOR YIELD
Foreign governments are no longer optimizing for interest.
They are optimizing for survival of principal.
They don’t care about earning a few extra basis points anymore.
They care about whether their reserves can be:
seized
frozen
inflated away
weaponized
U.S. Treasuries can be all of the above.
Gold cannot.
Gold has zero counterparty risk.
No issuer.
No promise.
No political permission.
That’s why it’s the only truly neutral reserve asset.
AND IT GETS WORSE
U.S. debt is now rising by roughly $1 trillion every 100 days.
Annual interest payments are already passing $1 trillion per year — and accelerating.
At this point, the math is unavoidable.
The Federal Reserve has to print.
Markets see it.
Foreign governments see it.
And they are moving before the debasement becomes obvious.
This isn’t speculation.
It’s preparation.
YOU CAN SEE IT DIRECTLY IN RESERVES
Look at the buyers of gold:
China.
Russia.
India.
Poland.
Singapore.
Different systems.
Different politics.
Same conclusion.
They are dumping paper claims and accumulating hard assets.
And this is happening alongside something bigger.
THIS IS WHAT DE-DOLLARIZATION ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE
The BRICS alliance isn’t just about trade agreements.
The goal is de-dollarization.
That means:
building independent payment rails
bypassing SWIFT
settling energy and trade in local currencies
backing settlement with commodities that cannot be printed, like gold and silver
When 40%+ of the global population decides it doesn’t need the U.S. dollar anymore, demand doesn’t weaken gradually.
It structurally disappears.
THE ERA OF “TINA” IS OVER
“There Is No Alternative” worked when the dollar was trusted.
That era is ending.
Gold is the alternative.
Not because it yields.
Not because it’s exciting.
But because it survives when trust breaks.
IS THIS THE FALL OF THE U.S. DOLLAR?
Yes. Absolutely.
Not overnight.
Not in headlines.
But through loss of reserve privilege.
If you think silver at $90 or gold at $4,600 sounds crazy,
then you are not prepared for what happens when the world reprices trust.
MY POSITION
I’ve been in macro for over 20 years.
I’ve bought and sold every major top and bottom for more than a decade.
From now on, I’m sharing my moves publicly.
If you want a hedge against 99% of retail investors,
you already know what to do.
Many people will regret not paying attention sooner.

What I like about Plasma is that it doesn’t force me into using XPL for everything. At the protocol level, it supports custom gas tokens. That means for certain transactions, I can pay fees using stablecoins like USDT instead of the native token.
For basic things, like sending USDT from one wallet to another, there are no fees at all. The built-in paymaster system covers those transfers. I don’t need XPL, I don’t need to think about gas, I just send stablecoins. That alone removes a lot of friction.
When things get more complex, like interacting with smart contracts, deploying contracts, or using DeFi apps, fees still exist. In those cases, Plasma lets fees be paid either in XPL or in approved stablecoins. That way validators are still incentivized and the network stays sustainable.
The paymaster system isn’t wide open either. It uses rules and limits so it can’t be abused. Free transfers stay free, but the economics don’t break.
Under the hood, Plasma finalizes transactions very fast. The PlasmaBFT setup processes transactions efficiently and finality usually happens in under a second. It uses the Reth execution layer, so from a developer point of view, it feels like Ethereum. Solidity contracts work. Existing tools work. No rewrites needed.
Account abstraction standards are supported too, which makes wallets and user flows smoother. That’s important if stablecoins are meant to be used often, not just by power users.
Security is handled in layers. Plasma commits its state to Bitcoin periodically, which adds an external anchor and reduces trust assumptions. There’s also native BTC support for smart contracts without relying entirely on third parties.
The network runs on Proof of Stake. XPL can be staked or delegated, and rewards come from controlled inflation. I don’t need to run infrastructure to participate.
There’s also work being done on confidential stablecoin payments. That matters for cases where transaction details shouldn’t be fully public, while still keeping compliance options open.
Overall, Plasma treats stablecoins as first-class assets. Gas abstraction, free transfers, programmable fees, and privacy tools are all built into the protocol itself. From my perspective, it’s infrastructure designed to move stablecoins efficiently, securely, and without unnecessary steps.

Copper.
Over the last two months, I’ve purchased more than 3 tonnes of physical copper.
I rented a storage unit specifically for this.
And I plan to buy 1 tonne every single month going forward.
This is not a trade.
This is a generational positioning.
Those who understand why copper matters now will understand where the world is heading.
THE AI ENERGY SHOCK NO ONE IS PRICING IN
Copper demand isn’t exploding because of electric cars alone.
It’s exploding because AI runs on electricity — and electricity runs on copper.
AI data centers are power-hungry, heat-intensive machines.
They require massive transmission upgrades, dense wiring, transformers, and increasingly liquid cooling systems that rely on copper plates, tubing, and piping.
A recent 2026 projection estimates global data-center capacity could grow 10× by 2040.
You cannot plug that into the existing grid.
The grid must be rebuilt — and copper is the bottleneck.
THE GREEN TRANSITION IS ACCELERATING, NOT SLOWING
Even without AI, the numbers are staggering.
An EV uses roughly 3× more copper than a combustion vehicle
Wind turbines, solar farms, battery storage, and charging infrastructure are all copper-intensive
The world is attempting to rebuild its entire energy system in ~25 years
Using a metal that has not yet been mined.
THE SUPPLY CLIFF (THIS IS THE REAL ALPHA)
This is where the Bitcoin comparison becomes literal.
There are no fast solutions on the supply side.
It takes 17–20 years to permit and build a major copper mine.
Even if a massive discovery were made today, it wouldn’t produce meaningful supply until the 2040s.
Meanwhile:
Ore grades are declining
Mining costs are rising
The “easy copper” is already gone
By some forecasts, the world faces a multi-million-ton annual copper deficit by the 2030s.
That deficit cannot be solved with higher prices alone — because the metal simply doesn’t exist yet.
WHY I BOUGHT PHYSICAL COPPER
I didn’t buy mining stocks.
Equities are financial abstractions layered on top of political risk, dilution, and accounting games.
I bought physical scarcity.
In a world of unlimited fiat, unlimited leverage, and unlimited code,
real wealth is constrained matter.
Copper is not optional.
You cannot substitute it away at scale.
Manufacturers will pay whatever is required to secure supply — or they shut down.
When the squeeze hits, copper won’t be treated as just an industrial metal.
It will be treated as a strategic asset.
MY VIEW
The current price of copper is a gift.
The panic comes later — when inventories are gone and demand becomes non-negotiable.
I’m positioning early.
Quietly.
Relentlessly.
See you in 2030.

I see Plasma as a chain that knows exactly what it wants to do. It’s about stablecoins. Nothing else really matters here.
What I like is that it feels familiar. It’s EVM compatible, so the tooling already exists. Transactions finalize very fast, usually under a second. But honestly, the part that hits first is simple USDT transfers with no gas. I don’t need to hold XPL just to send money. I send USDT and it’s done.
The security side makes sense to me. Plasma anchors its state to Bitcoin from time to time. That gives it an outside reference and makes the system harder to interfere with. I’d rather see that than complicated bridges holding large amounts of funds.
Plasma runs on Proof of Stake. If I hold XPL, I can stake or delegate. Validators secure the network and rewards come from inflation that’s kept under control. It’s efficient and doesn’t waste energy.
I keep thinking about places where remittances are still painful, like Jammu and Kashmir. Bank transfers there can be slow and expensive. With Plasma, sending stablecoins feels more direct. Faster, cheaper, fewer steps.
From a builder’s point of view, Plasma doesn’t add friction. Ethereum contracts can be reused. Payments, savings, lending, all built around stablecoins without major changes.
What I see overall is a network designed for real movement of money. Free USDT transfers help everyday users. Stablecoins can also be used for fees when things get more advanced. The ecosystem seems focused on usage, not noise.
For me, Plasma isn’t about hype. It’s about getting stablecoin settlement right and letting people actually use it.

People already use stablecoins every day. Sending money. Holding value. Moving funds between platforms. That part already exists. The issue is most blockchains were not built mainly for this. They try to do many things at once. Stablecoin settlement usually comes later. Plasma is built with stablecoins as the main focus from the start.
Plasma is a Layer 1 chain. It stays EVM compatible using Reth. This matters for developers. They can keep using the same tools and the same contracts. No need to change how they work. The chain also uses PlasmaBFT. Finality is very fast. Transactions settle quickly. This is important for payments and transfers where waiting is not acceptable.
The stablecoin design is straightforward. Gasless USDT transfers allow users to send stablecoins without worrying about holding another token. Stablecoin first gas keeps things simple. If you are using stablecoins, you pay fees in stablecoins. No extra steps. No confusion.
Security is handled through Bitcoin anchoring. The goal is to improve neutrality and censorship resistance over time. For a settlement-focused chain, this matters more than extra features. It supports long term trust for both regular users and institutions that rely on reliable settlement.
Plasma is not trying to be everything. It stays focused on stablecoins, fast settlement, and simple usage. That focus is the main point.
