I would like to first see what results ethereum will achieve after its Ethereum 2.0 upgrade. After all, BNB grew mainly on the background of difficulties with high costs in transactions on the ethereum network. If this problem is resolved and all other planned issues are resolved along the way, then we may see a backlash and then the current popularity of BNB will drop slightly. This will also affect the price of these two coins.

If the Russian government continues to behave aggressively, threatening the use of weapons to the whole world, then the US government will be forced to fight with them. As for Afghanistan, the Americans have been there for 20 years. They trained and armed government troops there, but they cannot fight forever instead of them. Therefore, they left there, doing everything possible for the government troops to fight the Taliban further. It is not their fault that the Afghan government troops have shown cowardice.

Of course, banks don't like cryptocurrency because cryptocurrency is actually a competitor to the banking system. At the same time, cryptocurrency does not pose a threat to the existence of banks. After all, the banking system is under the full protection of the state and is practically part of the state system of power. Banks can provide services in cryptocurrency, but they will not actively support it.

Bitcoin simply has no other way than to coexist with the currencies of states. He can exist in his virtual digital world. But people can use it only in their physical world and only on the territory of individual states, where their currency has been used for a long time.
At the same time, bitcoin or other decentralized cryptocurrency cannot dominate the national currency of states. The state will not allow this.

Of course, investing in altcoins now is a very smart decision. Coins with a high capitalization are the least risky for this. For example, ethereum is already in the past, and in 2021 it grew by 400 percent and overtook even bitcoin in price.
Little-known cryptocurrencies can give big profits, but for this you need to know which of them are promising for investment.

But already about Elon Musk they began to say that he is Satoshi Nakamoto. Of course, these conversations are not substantiated by serious arguments. After Elon Musk began to criticize the energy efficiency of bitcoin, he cannot be Satoshi Nakamoto. Nobody will ever establish the real Satoshi Nakamoto. He himself could have done it, but he took all measures to remain anonymous.

I thought it was an old branch. But then I noticed that it was started today, one day before the New Year. To fantasize that the price of bitcoin can reach one hundred thousand dollars in one day, when its current price is only about $ 47,700, is very brave or very stupid. Most likely, it will be possible to talk about such a price of bitcoin at the end of next year, 2022.

It is unlikely that we should all adhere to this point of view. Cryptocurrency is not intended to be a store of value, but that is, in essence, a repository of digital financial assets. It is primarily a means of payment. If you think of cryptocurrency only as a storage, then it will cease to develop and ultimately cease to be profitable. Cryptocurrency should be developed in many ways, but above all as an alternative means of payment to the current payment system.

One can hardly complain about the price of bitcoin, which is now around $ 50,000. Bitcoin only reached $ 20,000 again last December, so its current price has doubled over that period. The slight drop in demand for bitcoin now is partly due to its current significant price. From such a height, there is room to fall, and therefore the risk for investors increases. In addition, with an increase in the price of Bitcoin, it is already quite difficult to grow in price at times, as it was before. Potential altcoins look promising in terms of profit.
Well, let's see what else Bitcoin is capable of.

Transaction fees on the ethereum network often drop to acceptable levels. For example, now it is 40 Gwei. But in general, for the final solution to this problem, of course, we still need to wait a while before the completion of the Ethereum 2.0 update. In addition, on November 24, Buterin initiated a separate improvement, which should reduce transaction costs in the network by about five times. I think that in the second half of next year this problem will be finally resolved. Ethereum's competitors are unlikely to make much headway during this time. Ethereum has been and will remain the leader in altcoins.

What versions from different sides can we talk about in the current situation? Ukraine did not attack Russia and did not seize its territory. It was Russia that attacked Ukraine and occupied its Crimean peninsula and part of the eastern territories adjacent to Russia. Putin's justification for these actions is that he does not want Ukraine to join the European Union and NATO. Is this a serious excuse for capturing a neighboring state and killing thousands of Ukrainians in the 21st century? Any independent state has the right to choose its own path of development and build its foreign policy, including deciding which political sides to join in order to ensure its security.
Putin behaves like a robber and a bandit on the world stage, and therefore the world community must unite and give him a good rebuff, and disconnecting Russia from the SWIFT international banking system is still a rather mild measure.

I personally do not believe a single word of Putin. His words are constantly at odds with his actions. He lies constantly and in everything. This is especially evident in Russia's foreign policy. As for the cryptocurrency, the laws that are being adopted and prepared in this country are simply draconian. In my opinion, Russia is on the verge of completely banning its movement. For a long time, many have understood that Putin is not giving the people the opportunity to use cryptocurrency to make money and profit. Probably because he understood its value, he does not even allow her to circulate in Russia.

By itself, this is rather disturbing information and should not be ignored as almost everyone does when discussing this topic here. Hillary Clinton raises the issue of cryptocurrency due to its growing influence in the world. We remember that at one of the last summits of the G20 countries, the role of cryptocurrency was already discussed and then it was decided that cryptocurrency does not pose a threat to global financial stability. If the discussion is repeated and this time the opposite opinion is accepted, then tightening measures against the circulation of cryptocurrency may follow. Such measures have no effect if they are taken by a separate state, but if they are adopted by all the G20 countries, the effect will be much more serious.

Over the past few years, there have been about a dozen different threads on this forum about which cryptocurrency bans are planned to be adopted in India. But for some reason, lawmakers and the country's government are in no hurry to pass laws regarding cryptocurrency. Therefore, most likely, I simply will not react in any way to these intentions. We need to wait until real laws are adopted there, and then we will discuss them.

There is such a trend, but it is unlikely to become widespread. If we consider the still small experience of El Salvador, then there was no national currency at all. Therefore, it was much easier to accept bitcoin as the national currency there. In countries with strong economies and hard currencies, this is hardly possible. But we really need a similar experience of crowding out the national currency in weak developing countries, and preferably a positive one.

Of course, it's never too late to enter the cryptocurrency market. We do not know in which direction the market will develop and what surprises it may present to us. However, those people who only want to work in this market have certainly lost a lot. Not only in terms of profit, but also in terms of gaining that knowledge about cryptocurrency and this market in general, which other participants have gradually acquired and gained rich experience. After all, this market is multifaceted and it is impossible to study it in a short time. Therefore, the earlier we join the cryptocurrency market, the easier, safer and more efficient our work on it will be.

Participants in this market need high price volatility in order to sell high and buy low. This is the basic law of this market. The sharp drop in prices also allows one to get rid of the weak hands of doubters who immediately start selling their assets in cryptocurrency. Therefore, we always want to see a high price rise in our cryptocurrency and do not mind falling prices in the market after taking profit. Such a surge in prices allows us to make a decent profit.

Yes, Buterin runs ETH with other co-founders. This allows you to quickly make decisions, and find a way out of difficult situations and be updated in a timely manner. However, there is no close-knit team behind Bitcoin; consensus is rarely reached on any issues. Therefore, complete decentralization gains in some way and loses in some way.
In this situation, Satoshi Nakamoto is hardly worth publishing himself. In the absence of a creator, no one can apply for a patent on the invention of bitcoin and it remains completely decentralized.

It seems that it is impossible to create the perfect cryptocurrency, although it should be striving for it. If a particular coin has free transactions, then it is losing somewhere else.
Ethereum has been around for a long time and has a strong team and community that supports it. Yes, with a long-term update, ethereum loses a little and weakens its position, but if the update is successful, then this coin will not only restore them, but also significantly increase both its popularity and price. Better to wait and see.
