61  Economy / Economics / Re: Is there a place in the world you could live like a king via sig campaigns? on: April 01, 2022, 02:12:42 PM

My question is whether there's any place on earth where $1500/week could allow five roommates to live very comfortably--perhaps not as boss-like as I described above, but maybe at least the big house and property.
Democratic republic of Sao Tome and Principe is an island country in the Gulf of Guinea, off the western equatorial cost of Central Africa. If you are looking for a place to live as a king, I bet you this country is your best option. 1 USD is equivalent to approximately 20,901 Db, $1500 should equate 31,351,500 Db. If you are looking for a place to live quietly and really comfortably, this is your best bet.
Although, there are other African countries whose exchange rate with regards to dollar is really. Countries like Nigeria with an exchange rate of 570 naira to 1USD and $1500 to 855,000 naira although on the black market, although its official exchange rate is 415.72 naira to 1USD and $1500 to 632,580 naira. Kenya with its exchange rate of 1dollar to 115.05 shillings and $1500 to 172,575 shillings, Sierra Leonean Leone with its exchange rate of 1dollar to 11,874.82 Sierra Leonean Leone and $1500 to 178,230.59 Sierra Leonean Leone etc.

<and how does one go about getting citizenship?>
Being a citizen of any county have mostly the same requirements, and African countries are not excepted. these i believe are most of the requirement to be a citizen of any of these country.
•   By Birth
•   Decent
•   Marriage
•   By Naturalization. By Naturalization I mean the person would have to fulfill the following conditions
1) you should have resided in the country for at least five years,
2) must be a legal adult
3) know the language
4) practice good morality and have good integrity
5) has renounced previous citizenship
6) have a viable means of support
7) obtain approval of the Ministry of Justice.

The reasons why China banned crypto have already been discussed.
1.To support the "digital yuan".
2.To reduce energy consumption by the cryptocurrency miners.
3.To reduce capital export outside of China.
4.Fighting money laundering and tax evasion.

All these reasons are just what they want to public to believe in order to hide their hidden agenda which I think  is to have control and place regulations as they deem fit over cryptocurrency and the crypto market at large, which is fascism...
63  Economy / Economics / china's harsh exploitation on crypto assets on: March 31, 2022, 10:30:06 AM
With regards to Hungarian president being a fascist, I think his fears are well founded. This is because not only is the crypto market able to disrupt the economy of a country on the down side, it could also be used to sponsor the illegal world and possibly terrorism. China’s government move to ban bitcoin on the other hand is purely out of fascism. China being one of the fastest growing economy and one of the major drivers in the crypto market bans bitcoin only to begin developing its own sovereign digital currency and which I believe would have a very tight administrative and capital control. All this is probably because the capital flight from its market bypassing its conventional restrictions facilitated by crypto currencies (especially Bitcoin). Between 2019 to 2020, according to chain-analyst blockchain data platform, over $50 billion worth of crypto currency left the East Asian cryptocurrency exchange, Chain-analyst staff believe that much of this net outflow of cryptocurrency was actually capital flight from China.

Also, the rich in china have always been able to get around the capital control by purchasing real estate in foreign countries and even going as far as coercing their employees to transfer money to bank accounts in foreign nations, but with bitcoin, with its decentralized nature, residents in china which do not belong to the rich sector are being able to purchase foreign assets without the strict scrutiny of the Chinese authority. These I believe would probably be the reason for the fear displayed by the china government which drives its exhibition of fascism.

64  Other / Politics & Society / what could be Vladimir Putin intension for the war? on: March 13, 2022, 03:22:56 PM
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
65  Economy / Economics / Re: Russia can evade sanction through cryptocurrencies on: March 13, 2022, 01:51:40 PM
The Russia's central bank wanted cryptocurrencies to be banned in its country but the Russian president, Vladimir Putin said bitcoin mining and other crypto mining will be beneficial for Russia. Some people at that time have been supectimg this could be a move by the Russia's president that he is planning to invade Ukraine which will result to sanctions, thinking cryptocurrencies would be a means to evade sanctions and make it economically less effective.

Ukrainian Vice Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov demand crypto exchanges to freeze all Russian accounts so that the sanction can be effective, but most exchanges did not support this. I read few days ago that cryptocurrencies may not help in Russia sanction but FinCEN concluded that Russia can attempt to use cryptocurrencies to evade sanctions.

FinCEN Provides Financial Institutions with Red Flags on Potential Russian Sanctions Evasion Attempts

What is your take? What role can cryptocurrencies play in helping Russia sanctions evasion and to what extent can this be?
It is not news that Russian companies has a lot of cryptocurrency tools at their disposal to evade sanctions, ransomware and digital ruble are examples. I think the sanctions being imposed on Russia is even to their benefits mostly because the global market for cryptocurrencies and other digital assets has ballooned. My main concern is what the united states in up-to, legalizing cryptocurrencies in the middle of this war which in my own opinion was masterminded by the US is too much of a coincidence.

Because of the war going on in Ukraine as Russia invaded the country with the instruction from Russia's president, Vladimir Putin, US and EU have been sanctioning Russia in a way the country will not be able to fund the war as it continues.
With regards to funding the war, I think Russian will be able to see the war through. I believe they've been planning and are ready to sacrifice what ever they need to to ensure they succeed. From the look of things, the EU is far more reliant on Russia than Russia are on other countries. They have the ability to survive even if they shut up their borders from both importing and exporting of goods especially the oil.
