Sitting down with Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy — an interview venue as unfiltered as the platforms it discussed — Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski shared the details of a $775 million investment from cryptocurrency giant Tether.
The deal marks a significant milestone for the video-sharing platform, aligning two disruptors in their fight against control over media and finance. Pavlovski used the moment to lay out Rumble’s ambitious plans to scale up globally, bring in new creators, and redefine what it means to be a platform for free speech today.
Rumble’s Meteoric Rise
Founded in 2013, Rumble has steadily grown into a bastion for those frustrated with the perceived overreach of traditional social media platforms.
Known for its commitment to free expression, Rumble gained prominence during the 2024 US presidential election, where it became a central hub for political discourse. As mainstream outlets were accused of bias and heavy-handed content moderation, Rumble positioned itself as an alternative, shattering records with 1.79 million concurrent viewers on Election Night.
This was a cultural moment, as the platform attracted voices across the political spectrum, particularly those who felt silenced elsewhere. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
