peeps would recognise a few other connected domain names. noblex.io was one of the domains for #nobleinvestment bank.
@NobleMarkets promoted itself as entering a first of its kind 'partnership' with @Nasdaq
but really they just licensed Nasdaq's x-stream software.
There were even claims that Noble was Nasdaq's 'trogan horse' into the bitcoin world (ya know...the institutions are coming.....)
But it wasn't a partnership, they didn't trade shit and they ended up being a #deaddonkey and not #troganhorse
the only midly interesting fact about the Noble team/investors were previous cuddle buddies in #sunlotholdings the failed attempt to save the failed exchange #mtgox
where #noble CEO #johnbetts was bag boy for Sunlot . .
oh yeah forgot to mention the little grub #brockpierce
No one really remembers #noblemarkets apart from overstating a partnership with @nasdaq which was more a service relationship i.e. Noble paid Nasdaq.
Anyway back to Noble....its main game became #nobleinvestmentbank
which Betsy boy used to promote as the worlds first non-fractionalised bank...vomit vomit....
Its worthwhile noting that Roszak and Bettsy sunlot partner Brocky P setup shop down in #puertorico as self appointed #king of #crypto bellends.
I mention this coz non fractionalised first of its kind Nasdaq partnering institutional to digital trogan horse bank #noble wasn't quite all that.
It was actually a very cheap off-the shelf company with a flimsy banking charter incorporated as PCP Capital, renamed PCP Capital International before it was bought from $250k (and $500k bond) and rebranded
Here's a couple of old tweets that I'd forgotten about
But really for all its self promoting fluff #noble really just became #tether and #bitfinex banking bitch
and even took $2m cash to keep itself afloat while it shuffled accounts for #thewiz
I'm gonna put a pin in it here. I'm off to the pub to knock back a few coldies.
part 2 and or 3 tomorrow (with or without hangover)
So there went my evening. It started off productive but then I saw that someone posted a list of DOGE emails. I noticed that only elon and one other didnt have a doge address. so looked at the eop.gov forward to whitehouse.gov I had previously thought the primary domain was wh.gov but its not.
I had previously thought the primary domain was wh.gov but its not. but I did notice a bunch of tags.
and a load of domain forwards. which reminds me of elevateelon.com for the doge.gov site. I digress..
Ive already posted a number of posts on the overlapping tags and as noted there are a bunch of reasons this could happen so Im not going to repeat them again.
@DOGE a few bits & bobs for you have a look at.
First turn off the ports on your website you are not using and fix the tag vunerability.
But then you should really look at the tracking tag for whitehouse[.]gov and see why there a few overlaps with other entities. like the Albanian government.
This could cloned/reused tags/tag injection or something else.
@DrFranzC @NortheastCash @sprintcat9 @DOGE_GSA @DOGE You idiot. The contract award amount is not paid by the gov agencies it is fully funded by a 3rd party under an ESPC with a performance guarantee by Ameresco as the ESCO, it is self funded through the savings gained through the retrofit/upgrades across the 23 buildings.
@DrFranzC @NortheastCash @sprintcat9 @DOGE_GSA @DOGE So instead of paying zero, the agency will have to continue to maintain aging and legacy equipment the older they get the more expensive O&M is.
@DrFranzC @NortheastCash @sprintcat9 @DOGE_GSA @DOGE So now the agency will have to go through the same process at some stage the agency will have to waste time and resources going through the process again making an assessment between two pathways;
- ESPC; or
- Design-bid-build
Well done DOGE. You have just cancelled a contract for the feasibility study for a ESPC (Energy Saving Performance Contract) the sole purpose of guaranteeing the costs savings to be achieved by the project to secure 3rd party financing which is repaid by the savings generated through the term of the contact.
This contract went through a multistage tender approval process. So by cancelling it you have delayed the project.
@DOGE_GSA the contract is 23 years because the service provider (who guarantees the energy costs savings) provides the O&M services....guess the money comes from....the fucking guaranted savings.
So why does it cost so much to undertake the feasibility studies. because you are shifting the risk from the gov as well as the financing. The provider needs to be absolutely certain that those savings are actually going to be available to repay the 3rd party loan that finance all the capex and has sufficient additional cashflow to fund the O&M.
mate its absolutely achievable. I've done the numbers.
There are only 2 critical success factors; 1. Bitcoin goes to $23m per coin by 2045; 2. A visionary buyer that has accumulated > $20T and has confidence that even after 20 years of 34% CAGR providing the seller with a 350x bagger, that there's sufficient upside to warrant acquiring 1m bitcoin for > $20T.
The analysis;
Current US GDP $29.33T, Debt $35.49T
Using World bank forecast GDP growth of 1.9% and assuming the debt ratio stays the same
2045 debt will be a spritely $51.71B
Just for good measure here's the GDP and debt numbers for the Top 20.
Even after the 50% debt reduction, the US will still have the largest debt of all countries.
For the purpose of the analysis I've distilled the Lummis plan down to;
Buy 1m BTC for $70B using existing cash reserves.
Exit all or part of BTC holdings by 2045 to payout half the total debt.
In estimating how much of the investment would be required to settle 50% of the debt.
Two scenarios: Pessimistic (sell down 100%) and probable (sell down 50% ).
So for months I've been asking the question.
Who is behind the unnamed "private sector" group who are being given prioritised access to delivering food and supplies into #gaza.
I am suprised that literally no one appears to be looking into who this un-named collective that has delivered 25% of all 'goods and services' into #gaza.
I say G&S and not #humanitarianaid as these are commercial arranagements. Not for the starving or needy just for those that can pay.
The previous pie chart falls well short of actually what's happening with the shift to these unknown private groups.
When you look at the data over the last 3 months. Private groups are > 50% and increasing volumes month to month while total deliveries are decreasing.
July they are at 75% of total.
