Wow, Deepseek is now the 5th most downloaded iPhone app in the U.S. across all categories, ahead of Google or Instagram ! China is moving very very fast... first DeepSeek - now Kimi (language model) - and it's free with unlimited usage >>> Big tech is spending/spent 10's of billions on fast-depreciating infrastructure and training, while Deepseek R1 has delivered comparable results for just 1/100th of the cost, the numbers are HUGE clearly, the main point we been making lately is the massive CAPEX spending from big US techs will have to be monetized, it may well have become a lot harder now >>> risk off event, crypto not liking it either, quite bizarre we flagged Deepseek last Wednesday , the U.S continues to pump and dump ridiculous 'meme' stocks and coins, on newswires Friday already and now all over social media with spicy details #HSI up overnight! >>> a watershed moment ?

Europe is misdiagnosing Trumpian economic policy and preparing for a battle against an America that no longer exists. For decades, Europeans bought into the myth that American prosperity was built on free markets and entrepreneurial grit. But then came Bidenomics, shattering the illusion and exposing what had always been hidden in plain sight: America’s industrial dominance has never been a free-market fairytale. It’s been fuelled by a secret industrial policy rooted in defense spending, targeted subsidies, and state-driven innovation. That model is now being ripped to shreds just as Europe is trying to replicate it.
