https://medium.com/coinmonks/top-bitcoin-and-ethereum-eth-loving-us-states-8a8d4a82673f"CoinGecko, a leading cryptocurrency data aggregator has revealed the top 10 US states interested in Bitcoin and Ethereum (ETH). Obviously, California is on top of the list by a long shot but the rest may surprise you (or not). The research focuses on Bitcoin and Ethereum between May 2nd and august 21st. With that, the firm has measured the two asset’s web traffic on their platform to find the highest interest comes from which states. Putting California aside as the number one, Illinois and New York came in second and third on the list. However, California has had over one third of all Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) web traffic on CoinGecko. So, when the central banking system collapses, the Californians are probably readiest to and on their feet."

https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-03-22/ethiopia-s-war-toll-grows-as-the-world-looks-away"Though the war’s true toll is impossible to know, researchers from Belgium’s Ghent University estimate as many as half a million people have died so far: between 50,000 and 100,000 from the fighting, 150,000 to 200,000 from starvation and more than 100,000 from the lack of medical attention. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has expressed concern about possible ethnic cleansing in Tigray, but the government in Addis Ababa has dismissed this as “spurious.”" In this country, the interests of 2 countries China and the United States clashed. China was friends with the current government, and the US supported Nobel Peace Prize winner Abiy Ahmed, whose actions led to a civil war with heavy losses. If you do not want democracy, then you will have a war in your country .. how many times will this story be repeated?

I used to read the news about it, but didn't take it seriously. But recently I heard a discussion that 100 dollar bills will be banned in a number of countries, and then in the USA and Europe, fiat will gradually be replaced by digital money(СBDC). It's not a quick process, but it's rumored to start later this year. I'm interested in hearing your opinion on this issue.

There are a lot of stablecoins and other assets in the Ethereum ecosystem. If there are failures in the Ethereum ecosystem after the start, then it can be stopped. Prices may fall down, and after the start, it is not known how many smart contracts that track the price of major assets will work. This event can destroy a lot of Defi projects.

Is this the new black swan that should crash all markets? https://www.cnbc.com/2022/07/23/who-declares-spreading-monkeypox-outbreak-a-global-health-emergency.html?"The WHO declared monkeypox a global health emergency. The rare designation means the WHO now views the outbreak as a significant enough threat to global health that a coordinated international response is needed. The WHO last issued a global health emergency in January 2020 in response to the Covid-19 outbreak. Europe is the epicenter of the outbreak. Right now, men who have sex with men are the community at highest risk. The WHO chief said the global risk is moderate, but the threat is high in Europe. Monkeypox is unlikely to disrupt international trade or travel right now, the WHO chief said."

He said the “worst is over” in the crypto industry and that while the current issues may have increased distrust among retail investors, the argument for Bitcoin is still strong, particularly as central banks around the world fight inflation. He called Bitcoin an “anti-populist” asset that will increase in value in part because politicians in both parties spend too much. He credited Senator Joe Manchin for rejecting more government spending. He predicted Bitcoin will eventually reach $500,000."

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-14/jpmorgan-says-bitcoin-cost-of-production-may-be-down-to-13-000"Bitcoin’s cost of production has dropped from about $24,000 at the start of June to around $13,000 now, which may be seen as a negative for pricing, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co. The drop in the production cost estimate is almost entirely due to a decline in electricity use as proxied by the Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index, strategists led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou wrote in a note Wednesday. They posit that the change is consistent with efforts by miners to protect profitability by deploying more efficient mining rigs, as opposed to a mass exodus by less efficient miners. They also say it could be seen as an obstacle to price gains."

"Noting that crypto assets, including stablecoins, are fast evolving, the FSB explained that the recent turmoil in crypto markets “may have spill-over effects on important parts of traditional finance such as short-term funding markets.” The organization detailed: An effective regulatory framework must ensure that crypto-asset activities posing risks similar to traditional financial activities are subject to the same regulatory outcomes, while taking account of novel features of crypto-assets and harnessing potential benefits of the technology behind them."
