by Ram ben Ze'ev Bitcoin, Strategy, and the Manufactured Illusion of Wealth Retail investors are once again being swept into the tide of Bitcoin euphoria—this time fuelled not by anonymous influencers, but by the relentless promotional machine of Strategy ($MSTR) and its frontman, Michael Saylor. His latest announcement proudly declares the acquisition of another 10,624 BTC at an astonishing price of more than $90,000 per coin, framing it as yet another milestone in the compa

מאת רם בן זאב המלכודת מבפנים: עבודה זרה בארצנו וההשלכות שאיננו מוכנים לראות ישראל ניצבת היום בצומת שאינו מוגדר על ידי גבולות או פוליטיקה, אלא על ידי בהירות רוחנית. אנו עומדים מול אויבים מכל עבר, ובכל זאת הסכנה הגדולה ביותר אינה חיצונית. היא הסכנה שאפשרנו ואף קיבלנו לתוך שערינו. אנו מצווים על ידי ה׳ בדקדוק מוחלט. בשמות כג:לג התורה אומרת: לא ישבו בארצך פן יחטיאו אתך לי כי תעבד את אלהיהם כי יהיה לך למוקש זה איננו שיר. זו הלכה. זו אזהרה. זו נבואה. וזו המציאות. ישראל כיום מוצפת בכ

by Ram ben Ze'ev The Snare Within: Idolatry in Our Land and the Consequences We Refuse to See Israel stands today at a crossroads not defined by borders or politics, but by spiritual clarity. We face enemies on every side, and yet the greatest danger is not external. It is the one we have permitted—welcomed, even—within our own gates. We are commanded by G-D with absolute precision. In שמות (Shemot) 23:33 the Torah states: לא ישבו בארצך פן יחטיאו אתך לי כי תעבד את אלהיהם כי

by Ram ben Ze’ev The Digital Trap: Why Bitcoin May Be the Greatest Financial Ambush of Our Time The world has been conditioned to view Bitcoin as a revolutionary force—an escape hatch from the dominance of the U.S. dollar, a decentralised answer to global inflation, and a hedge against political instability. Yet a growing body of evidence suggests that Bitcoin may be functioning not as liberation, but as the most sophisticated instrument ever designed for America to export it

by Ram ben Ze’ev The Illusion of Stability: Why Strategy’s Bitcoin Model Is Cracking What happens when a company becomes so deeply committed to its core asset that it can no longer step away from it without causing its own collapse? That is the question now facing Strategy, and the answer is neither flattering nor encouraging. The company has become synonymous with its Bitcoin reserves. As of this writing, Bitcoin is trading around $86,700 per coin, and Strategy sits on a mas

by Ram ben Ze’ev Zahwa Arafat There is a great myth that has been sold to the world for decades – that a so-called Palestinian national identity, rooted in ancient history, culture, and land, has always existed and that this identity was somehow stolen. This myth did not develop organically. It was crafted, marketed, packaged, and distributed as propaganda by one Egyptian-born man: Mohammed Abdel Rahman Abdel Raouf Arafat al-Qudwa al-Husseini, later known by the more famous a

by Ram ben Ze'ev Herzog Park and the Erasure of Irish Jewish Memory Something deeply unsettling happened in Dublin this week. Dublin City Council decided that Herzog Park should be renamed. The stated reason is to honour an Arab girl from Gaza, Hind Rajab, whose death in the aftermath of the terrorist invasion of Israel, has been widely publicised. That this girl was killed is not in dispute. What is in dispute is the speed with which her story was weaponised to overwrite the

by Ram ben Ze'ev The Rise and Fall of DOGE: When Politics, Ego, and Economics Collide It was not so long ago that President Donald Trump and his then-ally Elon Musk stood side by side, celebrating what they branded as the Department of Government Efficiency — DOGE — a cheeky nod to Musk’s obsession with Dogecoin and his habit of amplifying jokes until they become headlines. For a time, the two men were perfectly matched: each revelled in spectacle, each thrived on disruption,

by Ram ben Ze’ev When the Tower Falls – Bitcoin’s Collapse and the Reckoning Ahead for Strategy Bitcoin’s recent freefall marks one of the most dramatic asset reversals in modern financial history. Only days ago, Bitcoin hovered near £126,198 per coin — a level hailed as proof that digital scarcity had conquered traditional economic gravity. Today it trades around $80,915, a decline of more than $45,000 per BTC. This is not a correction; this is a structural rupture. Whales h
