Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sšnchez’s embattled Socialists
suffered a heavy defeat in Sunday’s regional election in Extremadura,
slumping to their worst-ever result
as the far-right Vox made strong gains,
dealing another blow to the party amid mounting corruption and misconduct allegations.

A panel on bitcoin treasury companies.
Because investment law makes it hard for institutions to buy bitcoin in their funds. You can't own BTC in you tax free ISA. So some companies that do hold bitcoin, notably microstrategy, became proxy investments. If you can't hold BTC you could maybe own a company that owns BTC instead.
Microstrategy started because it's ceo realized it's dollar treasury was being debased by dollar printing. So tried buying BTC instead, with fantastic success.
Copycat companies proliferated. They boomed and then busted. One panelist calls that a grift. A way to memeticly pump share price.
A line can be drawn between profitable companies just storing their profit in bitcoin Vs those raising debt to buy without having a profitable business.
Imagine a world transiting from using seashells for money to using gold coins. A company gathers seashells from investors to buy gold coins, which will do better than sea shells. Trouble is the next step where the company pays back it's investors with... More seashells.
If you own shares in the company, you do not own bitcoin. You'll just get more old fashioned bank money.
Still. It's worked as marketing, more people being convinced BTC has value.
If you do buy a treasury company, check it's bitcoin not "digital assets" including shitcoins.

Es ist wieder #SchiffsSamstag, dieses Mal mit dem Nachbau eines Vierländer Gemüse-Ewers, sinnigerweise "UNS EWER" genannt. Diese Plattbodenschiffe transportierten bis ins frühe 20. Jahrhundert hauptsächlich Gemüse aus den Vierlanden nach Hamburg, sie waren aber seetüchtig und im Fahrtbereich nicht auf die Unterelberegion beschränkt. UNS EWER wurde 2013 von einem Trägerverein in B…

«Their interest is in women remaining protected and getting what they deserve, especially for those essentially doing everything in their relationships. While it’s easy to mock the original posters for wanting to legally bind themselves to men who can’t be bothered, one explanation is simple: it’s hell out here, it’s horror.»
