Brewing beer. Stacking crypto. Exposing politics. The dots connect if you pay attention.

What to watch this week in stocks • Mon: Palantir $PLTR earnings • Tue: AMD, PayPal, KKR report • Wed: Uber, AppLovin, DoorDash • Fri: April jobs report — consensus is just 50K added (vs 178K last month). Big number either way. Fed is staying put at 3.5–3.75% for now. Rate cuts? Market isn’t pricing them in until well into next year. Volatility stays in the mix. Eyes on jobs Friday. 👀
It’s the first of the month — and chaos is in full swing! 🚨 Crypto dumping hard: BTC below $80K (down ~5-7% today, multi-month lows), massive $2B+ liquidations wiping longs. Dollar volatile (DXY ~97, slipping on tariff fears & policy noise). Streets heating up with anti-ICE protests/walkouts nationwide, clashes in cities like Minneapolis & LA. Partial gov shutdown hits (funding lapse, agencies dark til House votes Mon) — adding recession vibes & uncertainty. Happy February? More like “fear & greed” reset. Who’s buying the dip? 😤 #CryptoCrash #Shutdown #Markets
