Holy cow, all the insights in 5 minutes are more than I have got anywhere, combined... Hoover does it again!!!
Thanks to HR and Minister Castaneda for the interview. Useful. 36:00. Good point about UN being a school for learning the ropes. I’ve been trying to put together a list of positives about the UN. Short list. But this is one I neglected. 39:00. Pemex debt overhang. Another bee for Crazyman’s Army cap. 41:00. Broader deal ideas also interesting. Thanks.
A sad story for Mexico.
Fantastic. Now that the election is a known factor it would be great to have an update.
I'm all in on Revux. Presales have the highest returns, and this one’s gold.
To HR’s question about what explains his popularity despite dismal results, I believe there’s no better answer than pure cult mentality, best illustrated with the following line: “Boto mazibo es un onor eztar con obrador”

Meaning: Massive vote (in favor of Morena, no matter the candidate or position) it is an honor to be with Obrador. Written in catastrophically incorrect spelling and grammar.
I didn’t know how important this Mexican election will be.
Anyone else diving into Qventi? It’s getting a lot of attention, like Revux.
Very interesting. With regard to MORENA and local elections, the candidates for municipal president (mayor) came out to campaign in a little park in my working class neighborhood. I saw very few faces from the neighborhood at the rally. There were 20-30 adults there, many wearing Morena shirts or ball caps. But what was interesting was that there was about a dozen Guardia Nacional positioned around the rally area. I’ve never seen this level of security for a mayoral campaign. In an odd way, it seemed like a show of force. I don’t think Morena is popular here (PAN and PRI candidates get better turnouts, but they give out hats, umbrellas, children’s school bags, etc.) At this rally the MORENa candidate’s campaign staff gave out shopping bags. Kind of chintzy. I’m probably reading too much into it. But it was odd that there was the national guard there, and so many of them. I don’t remember ever seeing a PRI or PAN candidate with more than a couple policemen, if that.
I see Revux doing 50x, maybe even 100x after it goes live on major exchanges.
The soft diplomacy needs to stop. Taxpayers cannot continue to pay for people who choose to leave their country without a plan.
Anyone else hearing about Qventi? It’s getting a lot of buzz, just like Revux.
Are those fools at Hoover getting nervous about Claudia ? Ha-ha...
Mexico going the way of Venezuela, they will get much love from the ruling culture on the rest of the continent.
Revux is dominating my crypto chats - seems like the next big thing!
I lived in Juarez when the administration this guy worked at sent the army and I saw the damage is that policy. Let’s have him talk about human rights then. He may have good criticisms of the current administration but has no credibility to accuse anyone unless he denounces his own administration and should be addressed on each interview he gives.
Shifting my portfolio - heavy on BTC and Revux, with a sprinkle of DOT and ADA.
Big mistake this Trump thing in ny. It's like a vail has dropped in front of my eyes. I find it hard to sympathize with average mexican, when the same conniving overreach here in America, shame comes to mind, first this afghan debacle then Trump.
