Pomp Letter Gives Away 100 Free Seats to November 3 Investing Conference
The Pomp Letter has 100 free tickets left for an investing conference on November 3, about a week from today. The newsletter's summary presents the offer as a limited giveaway. The source does not list the agenda, speakers, or the price of paid seats.
Why it matters: Free seats at a finance event usually work as a sales funnel, so Bitcoiners should judge any sound-money pitch made there on its merits, not treat the free ticket as an endorsement.
Schiff Says Bitcoin Held Longer Than Expected, Now Targets $75,000
Bitcoin has dropped back below $80,000, and bitcoin skeptic Peter Schiff, chief economist at Euro Pacific Asset Management, says the downturn has started in earnest. On X on October 24 (local time), he wrote that bitcoin has defended its price longer than he expected. He named $75,000 as the next downside target.
Why it matters: A gold bull calling for lower bitcoin prices is predictable, but price targets reflect flows and sentiment, while bitcoin's case rests on a fixed supply that no central bank can inflate.
Cowen Warns Bitcoin Could Fall Further Unless It Reclaims $83,000
Bitcoin has dropped below $80,000, and analyst Benjamin Cowen warned on X on October 26 that further declines are possible. He said he will keep his existing outlook until Bitcoin recovers above $83,000. Cowen linked the risk to rising US inflation and a surge in oil prices, which could push long-term Treasury yields higher and drag stocks and Bitcoin lower together.
Why it matters: Inflation that lifts Treasury yields shows how fiat purchasing power keeps eroding under energy shocks, while Bitcoin's fixed supply stays outside that process even as it trades with risk assets in the short run.
Latvia Eyes Property Tokenization Rules by First Half of 2027
Economics Minister Viktors Valainis says tokenization rules could arrive in the first half of 2027, with commercial property as the initial focus. An overdue government assessment of the sector is still unfinished. No sovereign-bond issuance has been identified so far.
Why it matters: Tokenized property only expands real choice if owners can transfer title without waiting for a state permit, so the substance of the 2027 rules will count for more than the token itself.
Reason Video Mocks Congress's Gerrymandering Fix as a Guide to Staying in Power
Reason's video, published October 25, 2026, casts a congressional proposal to fix gerrymandering as a playbook for lawmakers who want to hold onto their seats. The framing is sharply critical, and the video treats the "reform" as a way to entrench incumbents rather than make elections fairer. The source summary is brief, so the video's specific proposals and figures are not covered here.
Why it matters: Districts drawn to protect incumbents shield politicians from voters, and that same insulation from accountability is what lets governments expand spending and debase the currency.
Trump Exempts Some Canadian Goods From Section 338 Tariffs, Trade War Continues
Trump has exempted some Canadian products from the Section 338 tariffs, but other duties and import bans remain in force. The Reason commentary argues that courts should still strike down the remaining tariffs and bans, which it calls an illegal trade war. The exemptions do not settle whether the executive can impose these measures without clear statutory authority.
Why it matters: When tariffs and import bans rest on executive discretion rather than clear law, prices and trade flows can change overnight, which is the kind of arbitrary state power that a fixed-supply monetary asset like Bitcoin is built to sit outside of.
One in Ten Young Adults in Korea Has an Immigrant Background
Hani Economy reports that one in ten people in their 20s and 30s in Korea has an immigrant background. The article argues that without immigrants, the country's total population would shrink.
Why it matters: A shrinking workforce means more pension promises financed by debt and currency expansion, which is exactly the pressure that makes hard money worth owning.
