Chart of the Week


Kamala Harris’ Crypto Play: A Softer, Pro-Growth Move 🚀🪙

On the economy, Kamala Harris has made a strategic shift to the middle, and guess what? Crypto’s part of her game plan! 💡 She’s signaling a more pro-growth approach, floating a softer stance on cryptocurrency while keeping a close eye on the tech giants that power Silicon Valley. 🌉

Harris’ rise in the Bay Area tech scene means she’s no stranger to the crypto revolution, but she’s also flexed her watchdog muscles as California’s attorney general. Targeting predatory banks and for-profit colleges, she’s shown she’s ready to hold bad actors accountable while fostering innovation. 🔍💼

With a track record of pushing for stronger regulations, Harris is striking a balance—pro-growth policies for small businesses and a cautious but optimistic embrace of crypto potential. But don’t get it twisted—she’s still pledging to raise taxes on corporations and high earners while keeping an eye on antitrust reform. 📈

So, which Kamala will we get? The innovator or the pragmatist? 🚀 Either way, she’s poised to shake things up, all while aiming to build a movement that appeals to both crypto advocates and the middle class. 🔥

What's Brewing in Notoko's Canister ☕

🎉 Fed's Big Birthday Bash for the Economy! 🎉

Can you believe it? The Federal Reserve just threw the US economy a surprise party with an outsized rate cut - 0.50 % vs 0.25 % ! It's like they're saying, "Hey, economy, you've been working hard, here's a little something to keep the good times rolling!" 🎉

Now, don't get too excited, this isn't a free-for-all. Fed Chair Jerome Powell, the party's host, is making sure things stay under control. He's like the cool dad at the party, keeping an eye on the keg and making sure everyone has a good time without getting too wild. 😎

So, what's the big deal about this rate cut anyway? Well, it's like the Fed is giving the economy a little boost, making it easier for businesses to borrow money and invest in new projects. It's like a shot of espresso for the economy, giving it the energy to keep going strong. ☕

But Powell isn't just handing out party favors willy-nilly. He's watching the economy like a hawk, ready to adjust the music if things start getting out of hand. He's like the DJ at the party, keeping the vibe just right. 🎧

Now, not everyone is on board with this party. Some folks at the Fed think the rate cut is too big, like they're worried the party might get a little too crazy. But Powell is confident that he can keep things under control. He's like the bouncer at the party, making sure everyone stays safe and has a good time. 💪

So, let's raise a glass to the Fed and their bold move! Here's hoping the economy keeps dancing and the good times keep rolling! 🥂

Just remember, party responsibly, folks! 🎉

That's a wrap! See you next week for more byte-sized blockchain fun (and a sprinkle of ICP love).
