South Park has turned its attention back to President Donald Trump, this time mixing in jokes about cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence (AI).

The latest episode, Sickofancy, aired on August 20 and featured a mix of political and tech satire.

The story begins with a cannabis farmer whose workers are arrested in an immigration raid. Left without staff, he rebrands his farm as an AI startup.

A ChatGPT-style assistant then suggests he should flatter the president to get cannabis reclassified.

That sets up the main gag of the episode: a parade of technology leaders lining up at the White House to hand President Trump gifts. Spoofed versions of Apple’s Tim Cook, Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, and others appear.

Before that, characters resembling Sundar Pichai and David Sacks are shown giving him Bitcoin.

These scenes reflect concerns about President Trump’s real-life support for digital assets. His family and businesses have recently expanded into trading services, stablecoins, mining, and tokens. The show connects those ties with the exaggerated image of tech bosses trying to win his approval.

The episode also pokes fun at President Trump’s other policies and public image. Washington, DC, is shown full of National Guard troops after a recent deployment.

Old running jokes also return, including crude portrayals of President Trump and a baby-faced version of Vice President JD Vance.

Recently, Coinbase released a satirical video titled Everything Is Fine. What message does the video convey? Read the full story.

Analyst Mocks Calls For XRP Price At $1,000, Says Take Profits At This Level https://earlybirdsinvest.com/analyst-mocks-calls-for-xrp-price-at-1000-says-take-profits-at-this-level/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/analyst-mocks-calls-for-xrp-price-at-1000-says-take-profits-at-this-level/#respond Thu, 10 Jul 2025 20:23:50 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/analyst-mocks-calls-for-xrp-price-at-1000-says-take-profits-at-this-level/

Crypto analyst Jaydee has called out market participants who predict that the XRP price could rally to as high as $1,000. The analyst suggested that the altcoin can’t reach such heights and revealed what price levels he will be taking profits at. 

Analyst Indicates XRP Price Cannot Reach $1,000

In an X post, Jaydee stated that while the “moonboys and influencers: are waiting for the XRP price to reach $1,000, he plans to take more profits at his next levels. He declared that he plans to use the same strategy he employed when he called the 12x at $3.37. The analyst admitted that the altcoin is going much higher soon but suggested that those waiting for $1,000 will still get “rekt.”

Jaydee further remarked that they “dumb money to HODL till $1,000 for us smart money to win big.” His statement comes just a day after crypto pundit BarriC predicted that the XRP price will rally to $1,000 sooner than many expect. He further suggested that the rally will be similar to how XRP recorded an explosive surge in 2017, when it rallied from $0.0006 to $3.80.

However, Jaydee doesn’t expect this to happen. Instead, his accompanying chart showed that the XRP price could just rally to a conservative target of around $7 between August and September. This would still mark a new all-time high (ATH) for the altcoin. 

The crypto analyst also recently predicted a 50% “moonshot” for the XRP price, which could send it to as high as $3.35 in the short term. A rally to $3.35 will bring the altcoin close to its current ATH of $3.80. It would also mark a new yearly high for the altcoin. 

XRP Is Bullish On All Timeframes

In an X post, crypto analyst Dark Defender declared that the XRP price is bullish on all timeframes for the first time since January 2025, when it reached its yearly high of $3.3. In another X post, the analyst stated that XRP is way ahead, having recorded a breakout above $2.33. With this breakout, he remarked that the altcoin’s journey to its all-time high has begun.

Dark Defender’s accompanying chart showed that the XRP price could surpass its current ATH of $3.80 and rally to $4.2. This price surge is expected to happen between now and September, providing a bullish outlook for the altcoin. Crypto analyst CasiTrades also highlighted how bullish the break above $2.30 was for XRP. She claimed that the altcoin could reach as high as $3.04 on this leg up. 

At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.42, up almost 4% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The Mamdani Times mocks the New York Times’ crusade against Muslim candidate https://earlybirdsinvest.com/the-mamdani-times-mocks-the-new-york-times-crusade-against-muslim-candidate/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/the-mamdani-times-mocks-the-new-york-times-crusade-against-muslim-candidate/#respond Wed, 09 Jul 2025 15:48:36 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/the-mamdani-times-mocks-the-new-york-times-crusade-against-muslim-candidate/

The New York Times recently disgraced itself obsessing over Zohran Mamdani having checked “Asian” and “Black or African American” boxes on a failed college application when he was a 17-year-old Ugandan immigrant. Worse, it got the data from hacked personal records provided to it by a far-right activist, and rushed out its story because it didn’t want to be scooped by a different far-right activist. Moreover, it misled readers about its source, claiming he was an “academic” opposed to “affirmative action”—but he was soon identified as a vulgar Twitter racist whose own family reports to be a college dropout. None other than former Times Public Editor Margaret Sullivan raked the paper for its williness to ally with a far-right crusade, but as is often the case, humor is the best answer. Check out The Mamdani Times, which generates headlines for follow-up stories in the Times‘ distinctively clenched style.

Eric Adams Questions Mamdani’s Commitment to Serving Interests of Turkey
Zohran Mamdani Says He Flosses Every Day. But Does He?
In Mamdani, Some Democrats Recoil at Sight of Popularity

That third one there really gets to the heart of the matter! Mamdani is popular (and made shockingly fast work of Andrew Cuomo in the Dem primary) but a left-wing muslim becoming mayor of New York is unacceptable to the Times. If anything, Democratic party brass have merely distanced themselves from Mandani while they vet him, and will likely warm to his candidacy should his campaign remain sure-footed. It’s really mainstream media elites who can’t stand him to the point of throwing their lot in with right-wingers.

America’s political journalists poke around all day on Twitter, drowning in its anti-woke algorithmic preferences and outright Nazi gibberish. They’re at the center of a venn diagram of Audience Capture, “You Are Not Immune To Propaganda” and the ludic loops of process addiction. “Race science” is on their minds (and your screens) largely because of it, so it’s no wonder what is feeding their reportage and who they now see as journalistic peers.

The original breach happened in December 2024 but was not found until May 11, 2025. According to a filing with Maine’s Attorney General, the hackers accessed names, addresses, and other private details.

The hacker asked for a $20 million ransom in Bitcoin to keep the data from being leaked. However, Coinbase refused and instead offered the same amount as a reward for information that could help identify those behind the attack.

On May 13, the Layer-2 scaling solution ZKsync and its development team, Matter Labs, experienced a security incident. How? Read the full story.
