On Saturday, Trump put on that parade, which celebrated the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday which also is expected to cost taxpayers as much as $45 million. However, in another bizarre moment in politics it was noted that Coinbase and Palantir sponsor Trump's military parade! Don't get me wrong I support our troops, but I can not get behind the current administration. This parade was a rare moment for the U.S. putting the strength of the military on full view with tanks, aircrafts, and soldiers walking through the nation’s capital for all to see. The last time American troops were on this kind of display was after the Gulf War in 1991.

For those that don't know the parade coincided with Trump's 79th birthday. I can't say for certain, but being the ego maniac that Trump is I don't feel like this parade was actually for the military. I think it was to flex Trumps ego. Many American's agree with my hypothesis and we saw some of the largest protest in history for the 'No Kings Day' protest.

Politics aside I had a weird feeling about hearing about corporate sponsors. For one I would not want to be associated with Trump. Recent history for Elon would be a lesson in that. I get patriotism, but in this environment 'patriotism' has been associated with radical right which has devalued the word and brought shame to it. I'm very patriotic but not in that way. I believe in freedom and the American dream but I can see how clouded and flawed that idea really is.

I have been pretty upset by the Trump adminstrations take on crypto. They have run their own pump and dump coins and have proliferated the scammy image we have worked so hard to shake. I think Coinebase's sponsorship and ties with anything in this administration is net negative for the space.

I've been thinking I need to revive my Kraken account and maybe start using that more instead of Coinbase.

To be honest I have not been trading and doing much in the crypto space lately , but this made me think twice about Coinbase for sure. I liked Kracken in the past but have not logged in for months.

I have some regular buys, but I have also been looking at my traditional portfolio more lately. One of my stocks is really popping off.

I saw that it's crazy out there. I also heard someone was ran over by a tank and died... What a timeline we live in
