1041  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will happen to the Bitcoin network if Russia blocks access to the internet? on: March 16, 2022, 02:10:44 PM
Russia is considering shutting down the internet connection to the rest of the globe. What will occur? Is the hash rate decreasing? What will happen if the connection is re-established in a few years?

Possibly Putin might not have thought of the implications on the other side because as at now, situation of their economy system is bad not to talk of how their currency was devalued, most bitcoin investors leaving the country to seek for a new start, although the effect does not have anything to do with the hash rate as i believe most of the miners too would have seek to relocate to a safety location.
In Russia, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram have been very quickly turned off lately. Now they intend to turn off the Internet completely. The first thing to ask is, what is the purpose of this?
The Putin regime wants to prolong its existence by hiding from its people the course of the war in Ukraine and the heavy losses of Russians in manpower and equipment, so that the indignation of the people does not turn into destructive riots with the overthrow of power. Putin does not care about his people, and the economy, and the Internet, and cryptocurrency. He is doing everything he can to keep  in power a little longer. Stupid, insane old man... Coffins all the same massively went to all corners of Russia.
1042  Economy / Economics / Re: More destruction of Ukraine territory and economy going on on: March 16, 2022, 01:48:26 PM
Yes, the destruction of infrastructure in Ukraine continues. The Russians are deliberately shelling houses, schools, hospitals... Women and children are dying. Recently, information even appeared that Russian Defense Minister Shoigu ordered to cut down forests in Ukraine as much as possible. Ukraine is being destroyed as a state and the genocide of the Ukrainian people is deliberately taking place. According to the approximate estimates of the government of Ukraine, the Russian occupiers caused more than $500 billion worth of destruction in Ukraine.

But Ukraine will survive and win this war, because now people are very united around this goal and everyone works as one mechanism. Russia will have to pay for its destruction. Approximately $300 billion of Russian reserves have been seized outside of Russia and are expected to go to Ukraine for reconstruction. Ukraine nationalized all Russian property located on its territory. All over the world, there are also seizures of state property of Russia and its oligarchs. In addition, most states are already ready to help Ukraine finance the recovery of its economy.
But Russia will turn into a backward and poor country. Well, it's their choice.
1043  Economy / Economics / Re: Putin is trying to coerce firms into doing business or else... on: March 16, 2022, 06:53:25 AM
Putin seems to recognize nothing more than brute force. But in business, such tactics are always doomed to failure. If the business and property of foreign firms are taken away in Russia, they will go to international courts and all over the world there will be confiscation of property belonging to the Russian Federation in order to compensate for the losses caused. Russia will be completely cut off from the whole world. Considering that this is not a high-tech country, its economy will be thrown back many decades. All this is stupid on the part of Putin, like all his recent actions regarding Ukraine. A terminally ill old man with enormous power just went crazy, but ordinary citizens of Russia will pay for this for a long time to come.
1044  Economy / Economics / Re: Putin next steps and where it may fail spectacularly on: March 15, 2022, 05:55:55 AM
The mistake that I am seeing here is that Russian's soldiers, with Putin's orders, are bombing civilians, maternity hospitals, which is extremely against humanity. This is why people are identifying this as murderous act and people will not forget about this war. Even journalists are getting killed without a fight. They are breaking the laws of war. It won't be a surprise if Putin will lose his power if he will pursue more damaging methods towards Ukraine. The world is watching so they can't hide what they will do to the people of Ukraine. We are in this digital age where everything now can be recorded and send those images or videos to other parts of the world.

Actually, at first, I do understand the threat that Putin feels for their country and for their territory because of the NATO alliance that courted Ukraine to join in the organization and that's why the Russian president decided to start the war against Ukraine. But now, I see the biggest mistake he has done, I am not sure if it's Putin's order but Russian soldiers' bombing civilian, and maternity hospitals how inhumane is this. The civilians are the most affected ones in war and I hope this war may be over now and not going to waste more life and innocent life.
Putin knows that his troops are destroying residential buildings and deliberately shooting at the peaceful civilian population of Ukraine. The captured Russians directly say that they received an order to shoot at the civilian population, shoot at women and children. Now in the south of Ukraine there is a stubborn struggle for the city of Mariupol, and after unsuccessful attempts to capture this city with 400 thousand inhabitants, it is simply destroyed by Russian rockets and artillery. Agreements on the provision of "green corridors" do not work, since at the agreed time the Russians begin shelling the city. Ukrainian intelligence has clearly established that Putin personally instructed not to release the civilian population of Mariupol and not to allow humanitarian supplies into this city. Putin is a killer of the civilian population of Ukraine.
1045  Economy / Economics / Re: What if Russia economy grows higher after the war on: March 15, 2022, 05:39:19 AM
What will happen if at the end Russia succeed in her conquest against Ukraine and take over the economy of Ukraine. That will extend the economic power of Russia no doubt and that will make Russia more powerful.

How will EU and NATO countries relate with Russia if that happens ?

Who are the allies to be identified with Russia? As at now every businesses, companies and organizations were departing the country and no one has come out boldly to make a stand with Russia, meaning that all that Putin is doin is unethical and not tolerated by any culture or continent, it is believed to be an act of massacre, even the millitary that goes into war always have a plan of rescue of the innocent citizens, females and young ones.
Putin has already lost the war in Ukraine. The Armed Forces of Ukraine inflicted such colossal damage to the invading Russian troops on the manpower and equipment of the invaders that now Russia is turning to China for help in military equipment, and in Syria and Libya is recruiting volunteers for the war in Ukraine. The image of the invincible Russian army has been irreparably damaged, but that's not even the point. Putin and his military leadership have made many mistakes by counting on a quick victory over Ukraine in three or four days. Russia now can no longer defeat Ukraine, and they have already realized this there, so they simply destroy any of its infrastructure in anger, because they know that it will not be captured and will not belong to Russia.

On the other hand, the imposed sanctions will work and continue to have a devastating effect on the Russian economy, even if they are lifted in the near future. Therefore, soon Russia will become a poor state, if it still retains its territory, which I deeply doubt.
1046  Economy / Economics / Re: Sanction is the right option? on: March 15, 2022, 05:20:19 AM
So far, the world community has no other effective measures, except for sanctions against the aggressor. Of course, sanctions will not stop aggression quickly, especially if a strong state turns out to be the aggressor, as in this case. I believe that under an international organization such as the UN, there should be a strong army, which should be brought in very quickly against the aggressor. Then it will be effective. Now the Russian troops, after having suffered heavy losses in manpower and equipment in Ukraine, have switched to terrorizing the population. They shoot at civilians, destroying houses, schools, hospitals, factories and all infrastructure. The international community can only look at all this, impose economic sanctions and supply weapons to Ukraine. They are afraid to join the war against the aggressor, so that the war does not develop into a third world war.
One thing is clear: the security system in the world needs to be changed, I will point out that the current one is absolutely ineffective.

Despite the fact that the negotiations for peace between Russia and Ukraine is making good progress, it really appears that Vladimir Putin just want to destroy Ukraine. If the intent of Putin is really in the best interest of Russia and not personal grievance for what so ever his personal reason could be, why not call a halt on his troop until the negotiation is over.

Ukraine joining NATO began since 1992, and began its NATO membership action plan in 2008, why didn’t he start this war then? Was he friends with previous Ukrainian Presidents and probably do not just like Volodymyr Zelenskyy? Source
I would like to know your opinion on what could be the real intent for this war

Despite the fact that between Russia and Ukraine there is a fourth round of negotiations, they are absolutely not successful. At first, representatives of Russia only threw ultimatums, setting unrealistic conditions and in fact demanding that Ukraine unconditionally surrender to the invaders. As the Russian blitzkrieg failed and the losses in manpower and equipment left the Kremlin in shock, now the ultimatums have disappeared and at least some signs of possible agreements have begun to appear. Yesterday, the negotiations were put on a technical pause until today to clarify positions.
If not for Ukraine's desire to join NATO, Putin would still have found another reason to attack Ukraine. He needs Ukraine and its history of Kievan Rus for his empire.
1048  Economy / Economics / Re: Russia - Ukraine | War imminent? on: March 14, 2022, 11:38:28 AM
Ukraine should stop all her dilly dally with the West and sue for peace with Russia by first recognizing the independence of the two breakaway nations then stopping all acts of aggression towards them.
If they had done this from the onset, there would have been no reason for Russia to invade them.
But no, they listened to the USA, UK, France and the rest of NATO, forgetting that it's Ukrainian blood that is being spilt in this futile and senseless venture.
I think that what you say is very cruel, but if it makes a lot of sense, honestly, as the president of Ukraine, I would say, I give up, but if they guarantee me that they will not kill any Ukrainian citizen, I would do this out of love for my compatriots and that they do not continue to die unjustly and that the deaths of children stop, I would let them elect a new president as long as he ends all civilian lives, I think he would not see it as an act of cowardice, but as an act of love towards my country and above all of love towards the people of a town that is suffering a lot.

No, your proposals mean the loss of Ukraine's independence, its language, way of life, customs, forced Russification, humiliation, and everything else. This will not be a manifestation of love for your people, but its complete destruction. Ukrainians fully understand this and therefore give a resolute rebuff to the invaders. Russian soldiers find only their death on the territory of Ukraine. Russia will never conquer or enslave Ukraine.

Russia has already lost more than 50,000 of its soldiers (more than 12 thousand killed, more than 35 thousand wounded, about 3 thousand prisoners),
- 389 tanks,
- 1249 armored vehicles,
- 77 aircraft,
- 90 helicopters,
- 150 artillery systems,
- 64 salvo fire systems,
- 617 different vehicles and much more.

Ukraine is confidently grinding Russia's military power, and the Kremlin has already understood this. Together with sanctions, this will lead Russia itself to death and disintegration. The sooner Putin is eliminated or removed from power, the less tangible will be the losses for the Russians. However, the consequences of this war will be felt for many generations.
1049  Economy / Economics / Re: Putin next steps and where it may fail spectacularly on: March 14, 2022, 10:59:50 AM
I am not in favor of Putin, but I think that despite his strategy of senseless deaths of Ukrainians, including children, which for me are crimes against humanity, there is great intelligence there, the bad thing is that it is used to cause pain , and bring disgrace to many people and families, but I have not yet seen Putin's mistake, his macabre plan has been disguising it under a motto of "I am defending myself against sanctions that are a declaration of war for the Russian people" under this scheme it is obvious that he is taking advantage of certain laws and diplomacy that cannot be ruled out, the only mistake is that he gets into a OTAN country and attacks them, and I think that will not happen.

Putin's main mistake is that he attacked Ukraine at all. He is already bogged down in this war and he cannot win this war. Moreover, Ukraine has already inflicted a serious defeat on Russian troops in terms of manpower and equipment, and together with harsh sanctions, this may well destroy Russia itself. If Putin is not killed in the near future from his own entourage, then he himself will die of brain cancer, this disease is already in his fourth stage. But the consequences of the war with Ukraine will be felt by Russians for many decades to come and for many generations to come. Ukraine will quickly recover with the help of the United States and European countries, and Russia will face poverty and a rollback of a hundred years ago in development.
1050  Economy / Economics / Re: China's strategy on the Ukraine invasion war on: March 14, 2022, 10:33:02 AM
I wonder if, despite the news about China refusing to sell Russia aircraft parts, that they'd still help secretly. If Russia loses this though or get heavily sanctioned, it is also to China's benefit since RUS would basically become a North Korea, cut off economically from the rest of the world and reduced to selling raw materials to China for cheap.
China will not secretly help Russia. The Chinese government will only do what is beneficial to it. And it is beneficial for China that Russia economically weakens and then there will be an opportunity to use its raw material base on the cheap. A weak Russia is sure to become a target for China in terms of its large territories. After all, China has long laid claim to a significant part of the territory of Siberia. Russia has introduced the rule of the strong into international politics and will itself suffer from it.

It depends on what type of help you are talking about. China won't help with weapons because Russia doesn't need that. Russia doesn't need technology either. What Russia needs right now is trade agreements. And that's the point of china helping Russia. China has a big economy and market. The same thing applies to India. If Russia convince China and India to trade with them despite the sanction from the west then Russia could hold its economy. Trading with China and India won't be that profitable like the West, but it will sustain Russia's economy from collapsing.
Russia is now very quickly becoming a pariah country and will be similar to North Korea in this respect. China will certainly take advantage of this situation and the weakening of Russia's position. They say that Russia has already turned to China for help in military equipment, but China is unlikely to do this, since it itself will be afraid of sanctions and, on the other hand, China is interested in weakening Russia's position in the international arena. Strong sanctions against Russia may deter China from attacking Taiwan. At the same time, Taiwan is now studying Ukraine's experience in a successful war against Russia in order to repel possible Chinese aggression.

Get a history lesson first before opening a thread on this matter and before making such a statement - "it really appears that Vladimir Putin just want to destroy Ukraine". It is not! Dig down the history of USSR and its relation with US. US is trying to get access to Russia's border through inclusion of Ukraine in NATO where Ukraine is clearly not eligible. US is ready to make an exception just so that they can get clear access to Russia's border and Russia is trying to maintain its sovereignty. Russia is NOT trying to destroy Ukraine.

Read this article:
https://theconversation.com/why-did-russia-invade-ukraine-178512

Hope this helps!
Russia is not trying to destroy Ukraine?
On February 24, Russia brought in eight Saoi armies out of ten and has now brought the size of the invasion army to about 200,000 people. Having received a serious rebuff, now the Russian army is deliberately launching missile and bomb attacks on residential areas of most Ukrainian cities, schools, hospitals, kindergartens, and at the same time they do not want to destroy Ukraine?
In Ukraine, 102 schools, 76 hospitals, more than 1,500 residential buildings have already been destroyed. Even the Nazis did not do this during World War II. This is purely genocide of the Ukrainian people.

Ukraine does not have the right to join NATO? Why is this? Ukraine is an independent sovereign state and has the right to independently decide which political blocs to join, and no Putins have the right to tell Ukraine which security systems to join. In addition, Putin is simply pushing Ukraine into NATO. Ukraine voluntarily gave up the third largest nuclear potential in exchange for security guarantees provided to it by world states, including Russia. In 2014, Russia itself violated them by capturing the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea and parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Where should Ukraine go after this? Only in NATO.

Is Russia trying to preserve its sovereignty because it is afraid of NATO approaching its borders? So NATO has long been right at the borders of Russia. Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia have common borders with Russia and at the same time are members of NATO. It did not threaten and does not threaten the sovereignty of Russia? Only Ukraine will threaten it for some reason?

Now Russia has lost more than 50,000 of its soldiers, 374 tanks, 74 aircraft, 86 helicopters, 140 artillery systems, 62 multiple rocket launchers, more than 600 different vehicles in this war, killed and wounded. The Putin regime also saw that it could not take over Ukraine and therefore asks for military equipment in China and hires volunteers from Syria and Libya. The vaunted second army of the world cannot cope with the Armed Forces, and most importantly, the people of Ukraine.

Do you want stories? So in the 9th - 12th centuries, during the heyday of Kievan Rus, from the center in Kyiv, the village of Mokva (the territory of present-day Moscow) belonged to one of the Kiev princes Yuri Dolgoruky, and if we return to those times, then Ukraine has the right to claim the entire European territory of Russia, up to Moscow.

Putin previously allocated 5 billion dollars for subversive activities in Ukraine, the formation of groups that could engage in terrorist activities against the people and the political leadership of this country. This money was stolen, and Putin was reported that the people of Ukraine were waiting for Russian liberators. With this in mind, Putin eventually decided to attack Ukraine and miscalculated very badly. After the first invasion of Ukraine in 2014, the Ukrainian army has grown stronger, and recently received a lot of weapons from the United States and other NATO countries. In addition, over the eight years of warfare, Ukrainians have gained enough experience in waging war.
And the state and power of the Russian army turned out to be too exaggerated. Recently they showed on television that the bulletproof vests on the dead Russian soldiers did not have armored sheets inside, but cardboard. The protection of the tanks inside contained cardboard egg trays. But most importantly, the Russians do not know why they are fighting on the territory of Ukraine.
Of course, by deliberately shelling the civilian infrastructure of Ukrainian settlements, Russia inflicts huge material damage on it, which is already estimated at more than $100 billion. In addition to international assistance, Ukraine is counting on Russia's foreign exchange reserves seized in foreign banks and, in general, currency and property, which will be sanctioned.

Gold has always been, is and will be one of the most valuable metals, as it has been for many millennia. The cynical invasion of Ukraine by eight Russian armies on February 24 shocked many. Traditionally, the price of gold has jumped, but cryptocurrencies have fallen, but now they have almost recovered. Almost the same impact on the cryptocurrency occurred as it was with the official announcement of the coronavirus pandemic.
But I don't think bitcoin will ever go up in value to $1 million. Even if he has such an opportunity, it is naive to think that states will allow this.

It's hard to see people suffer from loss of sponsorship deals and contracts just because their clubs are partly owned or affiliated with Russian oligarchs. No one of them wanted the conflict/invasion to happen, but they're still affected like the millions of other citizens in Ukraine. I'm expecting that the isolation of Russia from the rest of the sports world will continue until the conflict/invasion is over, which I think wouldn't happen any time soon.

The people of Russia will surely try and break free from Putin's grasp, like a revolution or something, if they continue to get involved on troubles that they aren't even a part of to begin with.
The people of Russia have been thinking for too long what to do with such economic-destroying sanctions. Now every day of their inaction throws the Russian economy back for months, or even years in development. Losses due to the impossibility of the participation of Russian athletes against this background already seem like a trifle.
Today there were negotiations between Russia and Ukraine at the level of foreign ministers, and again to no avail. Russia even refuses to stop shelling the peaceful cities of Ukraine. Therefore, the sanctions will only increase and it will be fair. Either the people will remove their evil dwarf Putin (now Putin is already called the Antichrist, whom Nostradamus also mentioned), or they will suffer even more, and in several generations.

Anonymous hacker's group fight against Russia

Russians are obviously passing through alot at this trying time as a result of it government invassion of Ukraine, this brings about the interference of one of the world's known hacker's group "anonymous" declaring waging war against Russia by hacking into their government official websites, Russian Tv channels releasing the footage of their invasion on Ukraine to the world.
Quote
Anonymous has also taken responsibility for several other cyber attacks, including shutting down the Kremlin’s official website, hacking the Ministry of Defence database and taking down 300+ Russian media and bank websites.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.standard.co.uk/insider/anonymous-hacker-group-russia-war-russian-tv-hacked-b986733.html%3famp

Considering the magnitude of the implication caused as a result of Putin engaging war against Ukraine, the Innocent Russians have suffered much in the areas of: sanction and swift ban placed, economy downsize, denied access to international freedom trade, inflation, devaluation of RUBBLE against USD, loss of military personnels, denied access to social media (Facebook and Twitter), ban of about 25,000 coinbase users accounts and pause in other crypto exchanges, shutdown in Kazakhstan bitcoin mining and crypto related activities, Mastercard, Visa and PayPal service shutdown, loss of innocent lives among others with the threat to also release one of it deadliest nuclear weapons.

When i watched this video of  Russian soldier surrenders to Ukrainian public who feed him and tears begin to drop from my eyes that why are we humans the cause of our problems? another report coming in says Russia will begin to loose hold to withstand starting from Sunday.

Must Russia (Putin) remain adamant in proving to the world its ability and last resort?

It's nice to realize that even hackers took the side of Ukraine, protecting peace and justice from Russian aggression.

Civilians of Ukraine are going through a lot now, because for two weeks now the majority of Ukrainian cities have been under rocket and bomb attacks by Russian occupiers.

Moreover, the whole world is now shuddering from the cruelty of Russian citizens in military uniform, as civilian infrastructure is deliberately shelled: schools, hospitals, residential buildings, power plants, Russians kill women and children, do not allow them to leave the shelling zone and deliberately shoot at them during evacuation.
Therefore, there are no innocent people in Russia now. All of them together are to blame for what is happening in Ukraine now. It says that Ukraine was invaded by the Russian government. No, officials both sat in their offices and continue to sit in them. They invaded Ukraine and kill its inhabitants ordinary "innocent" citizens of Russia.

 The consequences of the applied sanctions are just beginning to unfold in full force. They will not be removed even if Russian soldiers withdraw from the territory of Ukraine, including Crimea and Donbass. And innocent Russian citizens have yet to make amends for what the Russian army has already done. Moreover, the captured Russians (there are now more than 3,000 of them) will still have to work physically in Ukraine and rebuild what they have destroyed. But the consequences of this war will be felt by Russia for generations to come.

Yeah I was watching the markets when all of a sudden crypto and stock markets are going down rapidly. Then I checked the news and they said they blew up a nuclear reactor. However as time went on there was more and more reports coming in that the news is false.

Can you provide that link here? I have not found any reports that are news false. It would be terrible if the Zaporizhzhya nuclear plant exploded.
There is a report after the second negotiation, the two countries have agreed to establish a humanitarian corridor and the possibility of a ceasefire. These are significant steps forward, hopefully they will soon reach an agreement and end the war.
A few days ago, Russian troops captured the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, and a little later the nuclear power plant in Energodar. Moreover, the invaders fired directly from artillery at the first nuclear reactor in Energodar, a fire broke out there, but no increase in radiation was recorded.
Ukraine has previously voluntarily renounced nuclear weapons in exchange for guarantees of the security of world states, including Russia. But there are 15 nuclear reactors on the territory of Ukraine. Of course, it is foolish to intentionally bombard nuclear reactors, because then the radiation will surely cover Russia as well. We see the inadequate political and military leadership of the Russian Federation, which is pushing the world to the end of human civilization. This is one of the reasons why the world community must take all measures to stop this war, and the sanctions must be the toughest.

It looks like Putin making plans to take control over the World, but things rivetted back. These large scale firms closing businesses on Russia greatly affects the common people and not Putin. Countries have begun to help Ukraine on humanitarian reasons, but there were no talks about Russia. To settle down it takes time, as more sanctions were imposed over Russia. What UNIQLO have done is something necessary for now. However without transaction support how things gonna workout even when stores open for business.
It is very difficult for the civilized world to directly influence Putin, who is in his bunker in the Urals. The applied sanctions should fully affect all the processes taking place in the state, including the citizens of Russia. The sanctions should have a significant impact on the citizens of Russia themselves, so that they stop supporting him and overthrow their dictator themselves. Other states cannot interfere in the internal affairs of the Russian Federation, and the people of Russia, according to the Constitution, are the bearer of power. The President of the country is only an official who must perform his functions within the framework of the powers granted to him by the people. If something is wrong with the president of a country, the people of that country should bear responsibility first of all.

Cryptocurrency is not the object of attack in this war, the subject of contention between the warring states. Therefore, the war between Russia and Ukraine cannot be considered a crypto war. Cryptocurrency for the first time can play a role in this war and no more. Russia, attacking Ukraine, does not impose any conditions on Ukraine regarding the use of cryptocurrency. This is the usual war of conquest on the territory of Ukraine by Russia.
1060  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cryptocurrency will not save Russia from sanctions on: March 09, 2022, 05:52:10 AM
Bitcoin can't help Russia in a situation where the whole world is turning its back and isolating them. BTC can somewhat help Russians choose a place to store their assets in wartime, but it is unlikely to help the Russian economy escape sanctions. Gold and foreign exchange are factors to save the economy, Russia is the second largest oil exporter in the world. This is the key factor that I will help Russia this time.
Now the US and Europe are considering the possibility of imposing an embargo on the supply of oil and gas by Russia. This may be the most damaging sanction to its economy. How can Bitcoin help to circumvent international sanctions in this situation? Indeed, in addition to the transaction itself, it is also necessary to deliver this oil and gas invisibly to the rest, and this is practically impossible. Each state or enterprise that concludes such a deal with Russia risks itself falling under sanctions. Therefore, in this case, the cryptocurrency will no longer save Russia. But citizens with cryptocurrencies can avoid the restrictions that the state sets with the outbreak of war.
