1/ 🧵 EXPLAINED: “BRICS gold-backed currency” (the UNIT) — and why stackers should care.

Lots of noise. Some signal. Here’s the clean version.👇 Image
2/ First: BRICS has NOT officially adopted a single common currency (despite years of headlines). Even BRICS officials have repeatedly emphasized national-currency settlement over a new shared currency.
3/ So what is “UNIT” actually?
UNIT is best described as a proposed settlement / unit-of-account concept linked to a basket:

✅ gold + ✅ BRICS currencies often tied to the IRIAS framework — but not an official BRICS policy instrument.

Markets with the biggest rent deflation over the last 3 years:

Austin: -21%
Fort Myers: -19%
CoSprings: -15%
Phoenix: -14%
Raleigh: -13%
San Antonio: -12%
Atlanta: -11%
Denver: -11%

Expect apartments rents in these markets to continue declining in 2026, as vacancy rates remain elevated.

Good news for renters, bad news for investors who bought near the peak.Image
1) The deflationary rental environment, particularly in the Sun Belt area of America, is one reason why I believe we'll continue to see more inventory hit the market next year.

Simply put, many investors and landlords over-extended themselves during the pandemic boom, bought near peak values and low cap rates, and can't afford to hold properties through a declining rental environment.
2) And it's likely we continue to see waves of homes hit the market for rent next year as well.

For instance, take a look at this property north of Nashville.

It was bought for $370k in 2021 and the owner has now listed it for rent at $2,300/month.

That's a poor gross rent yield, and the underlying cap rate is probably only around 4-5%.

But the reason the owner is doing it is because they have a 2.9% mortgage rate, and a low $1,450/month mortgage P&I payment as a result.Image

Most product hypotheses look like this:

"Doing X will do Y."

Improve by how much? For whom? Under what conditions?

This hypothesis cannot fail. No matter what happens, someone will find a way to call it successful.

That's not experimentation, it's BS.

Let's change this:
Every testable hypothesis needs exactly five components:

[Action] what you're changing
[Outcome] what metric you're measuring
[Direction] specific magnitude you expect
[Users] exactly who this affects
[Conditions] when and where this applies

Miss any one of these and your hypothesis becomes unfalsifiable.

/1
Same hypothesis, rebuilt:

"Adding 5-star reviews above the purchase button [action] will increase checkout conversion [outcome] by 8% [direction] for first-time buyers on mobile [users] during their first session [conditions]."

Now you know exactly what failure looks like: anything below 8%, for this specific audience, in this specific context.

No more cherry-picking "well, it worked for power users."

This is you:

December = Down 10lbs
January = Down 30lbs
February = Down 50lbs

Sound good? Follow this bulletproof daily routine starting tomorrow:

1.) Zero alcohol. Cut it out completely.
You almost NEVER see a moderate alcohol drinker who isn't carrying too much body fat.

It just makes sense.

Alcohol puts your fat-burning ability on "pause". It's a fat-loss nightmare.
2.) Workout first thing in the morning

Studies show you're more likely to make healtheir decisions throughout the day if you workout early.

- Wake up
- Get some electrolytes in
- Get your lift in

In 2005, Joe Scarborough said something you would never hear on TV news today.

Speaking with RFK Jr., he legitimized the belief that vaccines CAN cause autism.

“Something happened in 1989!” Scarborough declared firmly.

In his own words, he said: “Parents would CONSTANTLY come to [him], and they’d bring [him] video tapes of their [formerly healthy] children. And they’re all about the age of [Scarborough’s] son or younger. Something happened in 1989!”

Twenty years later, it’s hard to ignore that the mainstream media never airs segments like this anymore.

Did the evidence change... or something else? 🧵
Most people have absolutely no idea how much public-relations machinery shapes what they believe about health.

PR campaigns don’t just change opinions, they change language in the process.

And when language changes, memories and ideas seem to disappear—including things we used to openly acknowledge, like vaccine-induced brain inflammation and neurological injury.

Today, those concepts barely exist in public vocabulary, but just decades ago they were recognized everywhere.

The shift happens slowly. That’s how the tactic is so successful. Most people don’t even realize it’s happening.

For example, take a look at this 1983 debate that took place on the largest talk show in America. A conversation like this would never, ever happen on TV today.
This information comes from the work of medical researcher @MidwesternDoc.

For all the sources and details, read the full report below.

1. My dad was a junior doctor recently arrived in England in 1969 to take up a position in the @NHSuk, my mum a housewife looking after me and me born in May ‘68 a hijra baby born to them at Patna College Medical Hospital. Image
2. I was an unhappy child, one of my earliest memories was aged 3 when I stopped speaking.

My parents confirmed to me years later that I had actually stopped speaking for 3 months, I had no other child to talk to, to play with until my brother came along when I was 4.

Sleep is the strongest medicine on Earth.

It burns visceral fat, repairs DNA damage & produces new brain cells.

Here are 8 evidence-based strategies that improve your sleep & energy levels:

1.Stop using melatonin gummies.
Studies show it only reduces sleep latency by ~7 minutes and barely improves total sleep in healthy adults.

It doesn't fix cortisol spikes, blue light exposure, or blood sugar crashes.

It's a weak signal, not a real solution:
If you want to use supplements, use ones with real evidence:

1. Magnesium glycinate → calms the nervous system
2. L-theanine → reduces mental tension
3. Rhodiola rosea → regulates stress response

These support natural sleep architecture without forcing sedation.
