Money Market Review (06/29/2026-07/03/2026)
Excitement for America's birthday is up, while Bitcoin is down.
It's the countdown to America's 250th birthday, and we're so excited about it! We're sure investors in this current market are happy, as roughly one million have become millionaires. Sadly, that's not the case with others, as companies have announced layoffs yet again, and AI robotics are becoming the new investment scheme. What more is there to look forward to?

Strategy announced planning selling over $1B in Bitcoin. All that investment had little return, huh? Microsoft would chime in as well, heading to its worst month since 2000. Perhaps, it's the mockery of users not wanting the upgrade to Windows 11 may be the reason? Comcast pulled off an "upgrade," as they're splitting in two companies. We're guessing Comcast, themselves, don't want any part of their awful customer service. Not only that, customers likely don't want to deal with smoking, as British American Tobacco's revamp has led to 9,000 job cuts. No more celebratory cigars on that one.

Analysts state that Bitcoin may dip as much as $40k this year. Add the Yen to that, as their collapse brings US dollar surging. Maybe that's what Authentic Brands took advantage of, buying, with US dollars, the Care Bears franchise. Another one using those surging US dollars is Amazon, announcing they'll be investing $1B in a newly-deployed engineering AI unit. Let us guess: no more drones, but AI robotics delivering our Amazon packages? The robots that know karate in case a package thief tries to steal it from them during delivery? That'd be nice seeing a robot doing a round-house kick against a thief, preventing them from stealing the packages they're delivering. What a treat that would be...

Our very own President Trump cashes in on $1.4B having invested in crypto. Those riches led to his announcements of the Trump Accounts to soon launch. Maybe he can open more businesses with that money, as US futures slid this day over the jobs report. If you're wondering why others get rich, while citizens are struggling to land a job, maybe it's time to up the game and invest? Funny I ask, as the World Economic Forum released an Opinion article, stating that an investment portfolio will be our paychecks in the age of AI back in October 2025. Alright, so assuming they're right, why is no one talking about this? Financial literacy, let alone literacy itself, is a huge problem here in America; yet people, nowadays, can name-drop celebrities, athletes, and social media live streamers instantly, and consider that "resume worthy."

Renters here in America are under serious financial strain. So much for "owning nothing, and being happy." You think? Someone else not happy is Mark Zuckerberg, saying that AI agents aren't progressing fast enough. Hard to say, given that citizens don't mind "human slop" nowadays. However, Zuckerberg may want to shift his focus with AI, as reports state that organized crime is building an AI hardware cargo theft company. Imagine that: criminals automating their crimes in an instant. By today's standards, what can't you automate nowadays? Back scratching? That's fine, since the Israeli startup company, Dream, has your back: they'll be expanding their operations in Latin America. I see nothing wrong with having matzo balls with your carné asada tacos and rice: all sound delicious right now. Social media food reviewers will be promoting and clamoring for them!

Short, but a so-so week. Peace talks seem to be in with some nuanced caveats, but overall, there's some progress. As mentioned earlier, with "gaming" the market, it has made many people rich. Nvidia's Jensen Huang is looking into AI robotics, which will collaborate and work with human beings. I don't see why not, as many people don't want to work; so something has to be done about it. The only bots people seem to be interested in are online bots, boosting their content viewership—to say that they're well off. My goodness...it's like people today struggle so much with self-acceptance, don't they? Unfortunately, that's something government can't fix; leave your insecurity out of economics/politics! Just people think you're not a nice person, doesn't mean it's "injustice." Ever think that it's you who needs to change for the better, even online? It's not the millionaires', billionaires', and/or trillionaires' responsibility to make YOU happy. Ever since foreigners have stayed in America, attending the World Cup, while we Americans are on the cusp of celebrating our 250th birthday, it's like we've gradually exposed who's unhappy, hate themselves, and blame us for their problem(s). Oh, how I wish there were a government division that deported people who hate themselves, hate their own country, and hate others for being happy and proud of who they are...
Anything good you got from this week? Will more layoffs happen this month? Have you been interfered over your personal contentment from those who dislike themselves? Let's talk all about it in the comments section below!
