Good morning!

Here's your Saturday 7 roundup!

😡 What got banned:

The conspiracy theorists were right again.

After 120 years of consumption, the FDA is banning Red Dye No. 3.

It's been linked to cancer for 40+ years, banned in cosmetics for 30 years, and yet took another few decades to get it out of our food.

I'm glad this is finally happening. However, it's a single blow in the massive war of fighting for our health. Cheap, unhealthy ingredients fuel the food, health, and economic systems.

It's still probably decades away, but I anticipate their will be a similar announcement about a certain kind of fats that make up about 25% of all our calories...

🔴 What fats to eat and avoid:

Avoid the red.

I posted this New Year's Fat Guide which is now the most shared thing I've ever posted (25,000+) on Instagram.

Whenever a post gains significant reach beyond my normal audience, it's always eye-opening how certain ideas that are obvious to us are unknown to the masses.

🚰 Who won't admit guilt:

In opposition to mounting evidence and lifelong serious risks, the American Dental Association continues to double- and triple- down on water fluoridation. 

I don't know why. Perhaps to capitulate is to admit their recommendations have damaged the brains of countless children.

💡How to bite back:

While we're talking about wars, do you like analogy writing like this or find it distracting?

Teeth tell a story. 

 

It’s a tale of fighting tooth and nail for survival. The battle is recorded on teeth. A topography of mountains and valleys. Scratches across the surfaces. Pitting. Fractures. Enamel shields. 

 

Buried beneath the battlefield, you can read the history, preserved for millions of years. It’s recorded in teeth, written in an indelible chemical language. 

 

Throughout history, teeth adapt in the fight for their life. Some species carry big, heavy enamel shields for maximum protection, while others need less protection and save energy using thinner, lighter shields. Some teeth use sharp points that can deliver a feast but at the risk of fracturing, fatal in nature’s unforgiving arena. 

 

Here you’ll discover how to read the language told by teeth. It’s the key that unlocks the history and mysteries of our past battles and hard-won victories. Teeth tell the truth. We’re losing the battle. But if we heed their history, they reveal the strategy to bite back."

🧠 What quotes I've been thinking about:

“Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom.”

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”

“There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe nor politic nor popular, but he must take it because his conscience tells him it is right.”

— Martin Luther King Jr.

📈 What sends it to $5M:

Over a year ago, Michael Saylor said there were 3 things that needed to happen to send bitcoin to $5M a coin:

✅ Spot ETF (done)

✅ Fair Value Accounting (done, r)

✖️ Bank Custody and Lending (soon...)

Right now: 2 down, 1 to go.

The final domino may be falling soon.

Last year, both the House and Senate voted to overturn the SEC’s SAB 121 accounting rule that constrained banks from holding and lending bitcoin. But Biden overruled the House and Senates' votes with a veto.

However, Mike Flood, the congressman that led the bipartisan House vote is working to re-repeal SAB 121. Trump wouldn't veto it.

I agree with Saylor. Once banks can provide bitcoin financial services the price will skyrocket because people won't sell. Instead of facing capital gains taxes, people will borrow fiat against their bitcoin holdings. 

Simple supply—demand economics tell what will happen to price...

📃 What does the president do:

The president commands the military, signs laws, and shapes national policy. There are also 10 other lesser-known duties of the president.

As always, it's an absolute pleasure and honor getting to spend some time with you, hope you have a great weekend!
