It will be "really hard to make money" in stocks over the next decade, said the billionaire investor, noting that the S&P 500's valuation reminds him of the 2000 dot-com bubble.
Jones framed bitcoin’s appeal through the lens of past market cycles. During periods of aggressive monetary and fiscal stimulus, such as after the March 2020 pandemic crash, he said inflation trades tend to emerge as central banks inject liquidity into the system.
When you saw all the interventions… you just knew that the inflation trades were going to take off," he said, adding that bitcoin was the most compelling opportunity at the time.
His bullish view on bitcoin contrasts with a more cautious stance on equities. Jones warned that stock markets are stretched, with valuations that historically point to weak future returns.
At the same time, a wave of upcoming initial public offerings — such as SpaceX and artificial intelligence firms like OpenAI and Anthropic — and reduced share buybacks could increase equity supply, putting additional pressure on prices
If you buy the S&P at this current valuation, the 10-year forward returns [are] negative," he said. "It’s going to be really hard to make money from here."
While he stopped short of calling the current environment a full-blown bubble, he noted that the ratio of U.S. stock market capitalization to GDP remains near historic extremes, echoing levels seen before major downturns such as the dotcom bubble.
In 1929 we were, I think at the top, at 65% [stock market capitalization to GDP] and then in '87 we got to about 85%-90%, in 2000 we got 270%," he noted.
And now we're at 252%, so you can just imagine," he said. "We're clearly so leveraged in equities in this country."
Because of that, a major stock market correction may have broader ramifications on the economy, government budget deficit and the bond market, according to Jones.
10% of our tax revenues are capital gains. They go to zero," he said. "So you can see the budget deficit blowing up. You see the bond market getting smoked."
You can see this kind of negative self-reinforcing effect," he concluded. "It's troubling."

The Czech Central Bank purchased $1 million in bitcoin in October to run tests and conduct a study and found it is more efficient than stocks and gold but much too risky.
Michl acknowledged that all assets face the risk of losing their entire value, which is why banks have portfolios. “A stock can go to zero. Even a bond can fail. So for me that is why it is not wise to bet just on one asset.”
The first time I used bitcoin, I bought a coffee. Today. that coffee comes to about $350, so it was the most expensive coffee of my life.”
However, he insisted that while bitcoin through time shows “very high returns, but honestly it looks too risky.”
The Czech National Bank became the first central bank worldwide to purchase bitcoin in November as it announced the creation of a $1 million test portfolio that includes BTC, a USD stablecoin, and a tokenized deposit. Approved by the CNB’s bank a month prior, the pilot was aimed at acquiring hands-on experience with blockchain-based assets, which it said could redefine how the country’s payments and financial systems operate in the future.
A CNB study, he said, found that because bitcoin has low long-term correlation with many traditional assets, it does not move in the same direction and that is important.
“When you add an asset like this, the whole portfolio can work better. Return can go up and risk stays about the same,” he explained, adding that over the long term, “bitcoin can provide returns that are not closely linked to other assets. In some ways it is similar for me to venture capital but it is much more liquid.”
However, despite finding that bitcoin has the potential to drive higher returns with smaller allocations even more so than gold, “the CNB's Bank Board decided not to invest its FX reserves in bitcoin at this time,” the study dated February 2026 states.

Canada's Liberal government calls machines a “primary method” for scams as data and law enforcement link them to rising losses
To protect Canadians by shutting down a primary method for scammers to defraud victims, and for criminals to place their cash proceeds of crime," the government said, it plans to prohibit the machines entirely.
A crypto ATM (automated teller machine) may sound similar to a traditional cash machine that dispenses money from your bank account, but it works very differently. Instead of withdrawing cash, these machines let users convert physical cash into cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, which can then be sent to a digital wallet anywhere in the world, while bypassing traditional banking channels. That’s where the money-laundering risk comes in.
The proposal follows mounting concerns from law enforcement and regulators that crypto ATMs have become central to fraud schemes.
A 2023 internal analysis by Canada's financial intelligence agency, FINTRAC, found that bitcoin ATMs are likely to remain "the primary method" fraudsters use to collect and launder funds from victims.
Canadian lawmakers are debating banning crypto as a payment method for electoral donations, citing concerns about the anonymity of fund transfers.
Canada was home to the first bitcoin ATM, installed in a downtown Vancouver coffee shop in 2013.

LONDON, April 23 (Reuters) - Eddie Jones saw every press conference as an opportunity, while Roy Hodgson could barely hide his disdain for journalists, and a fascinating insight into how coaches deal with the media has been shortlisted for the Sports Entertainment Book Of The Year.
On the Record & On the Ball - How Elite Coaches Master the Media", published ​by Fairfield Books is the work of Tim Percival, Communications Lead with the England Rugby team, and the product of his two decades working ‌in media relations in elite sport.
It is partly a handbook for coaches and players while also giving media professionals a different perspective on the people they spend their lives chasing and is packed with anecdotes from a range of sports and personalities.
It is partly a handbook for coaches and players while also giving media professionals a different perspective on the people they spend their lives chasing and is packed with anecdotes from a range of sports and personalities.
One of the reasons I wanted to write the book was to help coaches and the sports media understand each other better, as there can often be friction ​between them," Percival told Reuters in an interview.
"I think anyone with an interest in how top-level sport works should find it interesting. It offers a look behind ​the curtain, which people always find intriguing. I also believe it’s a very good book for journalism and communications students.”
If anyone recognised ⁠the psychological opportunity of a press conference, it was former England rugby coach Jones, who was a master of delivering a point he wanted to make, particularly if he ​wanted to bury another. Even the most cynical journalists loved him as he invariably provided colour
Percival saw the Australian up close and personal for nearly three years at England's RFU ​and quotes his former colleague in the book: "Around the world, apart from probably New Zealand, rugby is fighting for recognition, so I think the national coach has got a responsibility to be engaging," Jones said.
The approach often made for compelling viewing. “His media conferences could be absolutely brilliant and very entertaining to be part of,” adds Percival.
Jose Mourinho is another whose "antics" are widely covered in the book, including an explanation ​of how, in his Chelsea days, he had a special two-way relationship with The Sun newspaper, slipping them exclusive morsels but from his own agenda.
Former Australia netball coach Lisa ​Alexander is another who embraced the media. "The press conference is the fifth quarter, and your job doesn’t finish after a game until you go to bed that night," she said.
Almost everything they write about a captain is driven by results so I considered it irrelevant and ​wouldn't play their game," he said.
Atherton's approach ​seems somewhat ironic now he has ⁠become one of the world's most highly-regarded cricket journalists.
Percival thinks the number of interviews Premier League soccer managers are now obliged to do can be excessive, calling it a "treadmill of platitudes", but declines to blame media training for the routinely appalling "footballer-speak" interviews given by players.
The ​fear of saying something that becomes a negative headline makes them tighten up," he said. "It's also linguistic convergence - they learn what 'a ​football interview' sounds like, and ⁠they mimic it.
As the book title suggests, Percival has an intriguing section on the concept of "on/off the record" which, as he illustrates with a series of classic examples, means different things to different people ⁠in different ​places.
The current fashion for news organisations to tell readers they "understand" something is happening is merely their way of ​delivering information someone has given them "for background".
Why this has become so prevalent is anyone's guess and the practice has become so ludicrous that it is now not unusual for press officers to reply to queries by saying: "Off ​the record, we will not be commenting on this."As the book title suggests, Percival has an intriguing section on the concept of "on/off the record" which, as he illustrates with a series of classic examples, means different things to different people ⁠in different ​places.As the book title suggests, Percival has an intriguing section on the concept of "on/off the record" which, as he illustrates with a series of classic examples, means different things to different people ⁠in different ​places.
The winners of the 2026 Charles Tyrwhitt Sports Book Awards are announced on May 21.

WASHINGTON, April 23 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's administration is considering more than doubling an annual refugee limit to bring more white South Africans into the ​U.S., according to three people familiar with the matter.
Trump, a Republican, paused refugee admissions from around the world when he took office in January 2025. Weeks later, ‌he issued an executive order prioritizing the resettlement of European-descended Afrikaners, saying they faced race-based persecution in majority-Black South Africa. South Africa’s government vehemently denies the claims.
The U.S. Refugee Admissions Program was formally established in 1980 after hundreds of thousands of people fled wars in Vietnam and Cambodia. The program expanded to provide safe haven to persecuted people around the globe. Trump has used it almost exclusively to bring white South Africans into the U.S., ​part of a broader upending of norms around humanitarian protection, opens new tab.
In recent weeks, U.S. officials have discussed expanding the 7,500-person refugee cap by 10,000 to allow more South Africans of ​Afrikaner ethnicity to obtain refugee status, said people familiar with internal planning, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to share non-public government discussions.
On Thursday, Assistant Secretary of State Andrew Veprek said an increase in the refugee limit was being considered, but did not provide details. "We're looking ​at the pace of resettlement right now and thinking about how quickly it's going, and do we need to increase the ceiling for the current fiscal year as well," he said at ​an event hosted by the Center for Immigration Studies, which supports lower levels of immigration.
The ⁠White House referred questions to the U.S. State Department.
Blacks make up 81% of South Africa's population, according to 2022 census data. Afrikaners and other white South Africans constitute 7% of the population.
During the apartheid era, which ended with the first democratic elections in 1994, South Africa maintained a racially segregated society with separate schools, neighborhoods and public facilities for people classified as Black, colored, white or Asian.
Trump set the record-low refugee ceiling of 7,500 for fiscal year 2026, which began October 1, 2025, ‌down from ⁠a ceiling of 125,000 a year under former President Joe Biden.
The U.S. ​admitted about 4,500 South Africans as refugees through the first six months of the fiscal year, State Department figures show, on pace to exceed Trump’s existing limits for the program. The only ​refugees other than white South Africans to enter this fiscal year were three Afghans, according to State Department statistics.
U.S. officials are weighing whether religious minorities from Iran and countries that used to be part of the Soviet Union could be included under what’s known as the “Lautenberg” program, the person said. The program stems from a 1989 budget amendment introduced by then-U.S. Senator Frank Lautenberg that aimed to make it easier for Jewish refugees to resettle in the U.S.
The Trump administration is also discussing bringing in refugees of other nationalities, one of the people familiar with planning said.
Even as ​Trump looks to further ramp up the entry ​of South Africans, an internal U.S. government ⁠email reviewed by Reuters showed that at least four refugees already in the U.S. have returned to South Africa.
One South African who arrived in Minneapolis in late January departed the U.S. less than a month later, the email showed. Case notes said that plans for his daughter and ​grandchildren to join him “fell through” so he returned to his home country.
A pair of South Africans who arrived in Twin Falls, Idaho, in ​late January via the ⁠refugee program turned around a week later, saying a parent was ill in South Africa, the email showed
Another South African resettled in Moline, Illinois, in mid-March returned home weeks later, the email said.
Resettlement occurred quickly, she had not thoroughly thought through the process, and her family in South Africa has decided not to continue their own resettlement process,” case notes said. “Additionally, the client’s age (66) and ability to provide ⁠for herself is ​a concern.”
Trump has portrayed South Africa as dangerous and oppressive for whites, yet thousands of white South Africans abroad have ​returned to the country in recent years, Reuters reported in March.
U.S. government contracting documents reported by Reuters in February said the U.S. aimed to process 4,500 white South Africans per month through the refugee program. The documents also said the ​State Department paid to install more than a dozen trailers on embassy property in Pretoria to conduct interviews.

April 24 (Reuters) - Camp Mystic, the Christian summer camp for girls where 27 people died, opens new tab in a ‌2025 flash flood, cannot be licensed to reopen, Texas authorities said, citing nearly two dozen deficiencies in the riverfront camp's emergency preparedness plan.
An 11-page notice from the state Health and Human Services Department gives the camp 45 ​days to submit a new emergency plan to resolve the shortcomings the agency identified, ​including flaws in the camp's evacuation and flood-warning measures.
A department spokesperson said on ⁠Friday the emergency deficiency letter, part of the state's licensing application review process, was sent ​to camp leaders on Thursday as the camp sought to reopen this summer with enhanced safety precautions
The camp ​said in a statement that it was "carefully reviewing" the notice, the Texas Tribune reported. Representatives for the camp did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Reuters.
The letter labeled 22 components in the camp's emergency ​flood plan as "insufficient," "missing" or "incomplete," meaning they will "require attention to meet full compliance."
Among the flaws cited in ​the notice, the department said the camp failed to provide adequate evacuation route maps or enumerate what actions ‌staff members ⁠were responsible for taking in the event of an evacuation.
The plan should include clearly defined procedures for assisting individuals with access and functional needs, such as assigning specific staff to provide assistance, establishing a buddy system, ensuring accessible evacuation routes, accommodating assistive devices, addressing transportation needs, and ensuring ​emergency warnings are accessible," the ​department wrote in ⁠its letter.
The camp, the department said, also lacks a plan identifying specific staff responsible for monitoring and maintaining the facility's weather-alert radio system.
Lara Anton, a ​department spokesperson, said most of the 174 youth camps statewide had received ​similar notices ⁠as a result of tougher emergency safety regulations instituted in the aftermath of the 2025 floods.
Twenty-seven campers and staff members at Camp Mystic perished after heavy downpours in Texas Hill Country transformed the Guadalupe ⁠River ​into a killer torrent on July 4, 2025.
Widespread flash flooding ​that struck the region that morning and in the following days killed nearly 140 people in the sixth-deadliest freshwater flood ​disaster in the United States.

The story of Internet Computer (ICP) is one of the most dramatic cycles in crypto history — from extreme hype to deep collapse… and now a slow, uncertain rebuild.
Back in 2021, ICP shocked the market by reaching an all-time high near $700+ within days of launch . Today, it trades over 99% below that peak, sitting in a long-term accumulation zone
CoinGecko +1
CoinGecko +1
So the real question is:
WILL ICP EVER HIT ITS HIGHEST PRICE AGAIN?
Reality Check First
Reaching the old ATH is not just a pump— it would require:
Massive adoption of ICP ecosystem
Strong developer growth (currently still behind major chains)
CoinStats
A full crypto bull cycle with liquidity returning
Narrative shift (AI + Web3 integration)
Right now, ICP is still a small-cap compared to giants like Ethereum and Solana, meaning it has upside — but also higher uncertainty .
CoinStats
HOW LONG CAN IT TAKE?
1. Short-Term (1–2 Years)
Likely range: recovery phase, slow growth
Predictions suggest modest movement, even sideways or weak performance .
CoinCodex
Focus: accumulation, not ATH
👉 Not enough time for ATH recovery
2. Mid-Term (3–5 Years)
Possible strong rally if:
Bull market returns
ICP narrative improves (AI, Web3 infra)
Some optimistic projections aim for double-digit prices
👉 Still far from ATH, but momentum can build
3. Long-Term (5–10+ Years)
This is the ONLY realistic window for ATH attempt.
To reach previous highs:
ICP would need 100x–200x growth
That requires:
Mass adoption
Institutional interest
Real-world use cases scaling globally
👉 Possible, but extremely difficult — not guaranteed
MARKET TRUTH (NO HYPE)
ICP ATH: ~$700
Current zone: ~$2–3
Gap to ATH: over 200x
Market sentiment: cautious
Even optimistic models show slow growth, not explosive recovery in near future �.
CoinCodex
🚀 THE BULLISH CASE (WHY PEOPLE STILL BELIEVE)
Unique tech (on-chain internet & apps)
AI narrative integration potential
Still undervalued compared to big chains
Strong comeback potential in altseason.

The strategic Strait of Hormuz was closed again amid the standoff between Iran and the United States, as the influential Iranian parliamentary speaker indicated that a conclusive peace agreement was still “far” away, even though talks made some headway
With mediators pressing on after high-level discussions in Pakistan failed to produce an accord, Tehran declared it would keep the vital maritime trade corridor closed until Washington lifts its blockade on Iranian ports.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) warned that any attempt to pass through the strait without permission “will be considered cooperation with the enemy, and the offending vessel will be targeted”.
The current two-week ceasefire will expire on Wednesday unless it is extended.
US ⁠President ⁠Donald Trump has no justification to ⁠deprive Iran of its nuclear ⁠rights, the Iranian Students’ News Agency quoted Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian ‌as saying on Sunday, as Washington and Tehran continue to face disagreements over nuclear ⁠issues
Iran’s “valiant navy” is “ready to inflict new bitter defeats on its enemies”, Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei said on Saturday.
Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh dismissed Trump’s claims over the uranium and sounded a note of caution with regard to future talks between the two countries
“There is now a certain sense of frustration and uncertainty when it comes to the road ahead. We know that Iranians are very much worried, not only about the shadow of the war, but also about the element of surprise, even during this ceasefire,” Al Jazeera’s Tohid Asadi reported from Tehran
Minister of Education Alireza Kazemi has said the government does not have plans to resume “in-person education” at the moment

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, speaker of the Iranian parliament, said in a televised address on Saturday night that there had been “progress” with Washington, “but there are many gaps and some fundamental points remain
discussion,” said Ghalibaf, one of Tehran’s negotiators in the talks aimed at ending the war launched by Israel and the US against Iran
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif returned to Pakistan on Saturday from his visit to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkiye in advance of an expected second round of US-Iran talks
Egypt’s Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said Cairo and Islamabad hoped to secure a final agreement “in the coming days”
⁠Turkey’s ⁠Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Sunday ⁠that both Iran and the United ⁠States had the will to continue talks to end the ‌war, and that he remained “optimistic” that the two-week ceasefire would be extended
Trump accused Iran of getting “a little cute” with its recent moves and warned Tehran not to try to “blackmail” Washington by flip-flopping on the strait
“We have very good conversations going on,” the president told reporters at the White House, adding that Washington was “taking a tough stand
The US military said it forced 23 ships to turn around near the Strait of Hormuz since it imposed a naval blockade of Iranian ports. In a post on X, the Central Command said US forces were still enforcing the blockade “against ships entering or exiting Iranian ports and coastal areas

Naim Kassem, head of the Iran-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah, in a statement read on the group’s Al-Manar TV, said a paper published by the US Department of State, which he described as the text of a ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and Israel, “means nothing at the practical level, but it is an insult to our country
Everyone knows that the government of Lebanon has not met or approved this statement,” he said
