Due to the pandemic, fuel prices have recently dropped to a minimum, and now, for the same reason, they have skyrocketed again. I don't see much logic. At the same time, alternative energy sources, and especially solar energy from solar panels, are relatively cheap and environmentally friendly. The problem still exists in the disposal of waste, however, this problem has been solved recently.
If the production of energy from alternative sources is growing very slowly, then these states are not too interested in such energy. There are also forces that lobby for the interests of the use of oil and gas and they pay government officials a lot of money so that changes are not implemented or it happens at a very slow pace.

I agree with these statements. The fourth quarter has almost always been very good for cryptocurrency prices to rise. Therefore, I soon expect its significant growth by the end of the year, and maybe after the beginning of the next, as it was in the first and half of the second quarter this year. Now it is also a good situation for this in the international arena. After the ban on mining and cryptocurrency transactions in China, we no longer see any significant negative information regarding cryptocurrency. Therefore, Bitcoin has a good chance to rise in price to $ 100,000 in the near future.

Why guess what the price of ethereum will be at the end of October, if today is the last day of October and we can say that this coin now has a price of $ 4262.
We can also say that the main improvements within ETH-2, namely the transition to the PoS algorithm, are planned for May-June next year. If everything goes well, then in the second half of next year this coin will have a price of at least $ 10,000, if this does not happen even earlier.

Investing money in meme coins is a big risk. It's like playing roulette. We do not know when these meme coins can lose almost all of their value in one day. Today you are lucky, and tomorrow you can lose all the money invested in them. I don’t like to risk it this way. Meme coins are now being promoted by influencers, but their price will still drop to a minimum someday. I have no desire to be constantly nervous about such a possible fall.

Your reasoning is not entirely correct. People do not believe in the accumulation of money and wealth, but strive for the accumulation of money and wealth. These are completely different concepts. The implementation of this desire can be both legal and illegal, that is, criminal or at least unethical.
Religion is not a belief in a being, but in a super-being who created both man and the world around him.
Religion and wealth, like a lot of money, have practically nothing in common.

It is quite logical: the higher the price of bitcoin rises, the less there will be those who want to buy it at a high price precisely because of its high volatility and a relatively low growth rate. With a rise in the price of bitcoin by one hundred or two hundred thousand dollars, there will already be much fewer people who want to buy whole bitcoins or even half of it. For people with an average income, we can only talk about buying a certain amount of satosh. However, they will no longer provide sufficient profit, since Bitcoin is unlikely to increase in price significantly.
On the other hand, if the price of bitcoin periodically falls, even if with each such wave it does not reach the previous level, with its high price, the risk of losing large invested funds will also increase. That is, over time, the financial laws of our physical world will work more intensively. It is in this connection that the price of things of our objective reality, even in a single copy, is never too exorbitant.
We do not know how high the price of bitcoin can rise. However, we know that we live in the physical world, where a high price means either the investment of a large amount of labor, or special labor to create single items.

In my opinion, ethereum coins now need to be held for the long term, because after an update that has been going on for almost a year, the ethereum network will soon be very profitably transformed and will grow in value. Now this coin has almost reached its previous price record. For now, you can use temporary drops in the market to make a profit and buy more ethereum. It makes no sense to simply swap ethereum for a stablecoin right now.

Russia has never been crypto-friendly. Rather, the Russian government, headed by Putin, never cared about the people, and this was clearly expressed in this interview by the official. Putin is only interested in his own greatness. Previously, he expressed a different attitude towards cryptocurrency, but when it came time to make an appropriate decision in the text of the law, he turned out to be one of the worst ones that were adopted by states. As long as Russia is ruled by the Putin regime, the people will not have the right to freely use cryptocurrency.

It is too early to draw any conclusions about the success of El Salvador in introducing bitcoin as a national means of payment. This requires at least several years, and so far it is only the second month. As long as the price of bitcoin rises, everything will be fine. However, we also need to see how the people and the economy of the country will react when it falls in price.
It is all the more premature to conclude that a successful experiment by El Salvador will have a devastating effect on the existing payment system. Cryptocurrency has a number of advantages, but it also has serious disadvantages.

Considering that we are in the fourth quarter of the year, and this period has almost always been very good for the growth of prices for cryptocurrency, and that recently we have already seen a good surge in the price of bitcoin, most likely we are on the verge of a new bull run in this market. However, altcoins will grow significantly in price with some delay from bitcoin, which means this will only happen after some time. Last year, the rise in prices also occurred at about the same time. Therefore, this year, too, we need to prepare for such growth.

It is unlikely that China will dare to attack Taiwan anytime soon. The United States has already warned that if this happens, they will not leave Taiwan in trouble. Now almost all countries have a lot of problems, and above all, a common problem is the coronavirus. There are many hotbeds of military tension. However, let's imagine that a regional war broke out in this region. How will this affect cryptocurrency? During the hostilities in this region, real estate depreciates, physical money and values ​​become difficult to take out of this region and they also depreciate. The cryptocurrency will be very convenient to invest in it all that will depreciate. In such a situation, it should grow rapidly in value.

 Zuckerberg wants to build his empire again. He has already been given a hand with his Libra once. This is a continuation of the same story. He again wants his Facebook to unite not only the social network but also online games, stablecoin and cryptocurrency. He has already released the Novi wallet and wants to use his Diem stablecoin there. However, five US senators have already sent him a letter demanding that Novi be closed. No, I don't think Zuckerberg will succeed. He may be able to rename Facebook. But not more.

I thought that there was an error in the ethereum price in the topic text and instead of the price of this coin at $ 4,000, the price of $ 400 is indicated. However, then I noticed that the topic was created a year ago. That is, the price of ethereum has increased tenfold over the past year. There are a lot of topics on the forum that criticize this coin for its weak growth, although, of course, it falls most of all for its high transaction costs. However, it turns out that a tenfold rise in price over the year is not so bad.
You can also draw a parallel with the recent price of bitcoin. Before the last rise, the current bitcoin price of over $ 61,000 was seen on October 15-17, when the ethereum price was over $ 3,800. Now, when bitcoin, after the growth, again dropped to the same price, ethereum remained at the price level of $ 4,042, that is, it did not fall to the previous price positions.

It is most likely that ethereum may rise in price to $ 5,000 in the near future as a result of the general growth of the cryptocurrency market. However, bitcoin is now showing very high volatility, either rising in price by several thousand dollars in one day, or dropping to almost the same level. Following it, price trends and altcoins repeat. Ethereum, however, retained more preferred price positions after such a rally.
On its own, ethereum is unlikely to grow significantly now, as the next significant improvement to this network will only happen around May-June of next year, when the network should switch to PoS.

We've been hearing that Zuckerberg is gearing up to launch the Libra / Diem stablecoin for several years now. It would be much better if he actually did something already. We also remember what difficulties were previously with the launch of this stablecoin. Regulators have strongly opposed the Facebook and stablecoin merger due to the private concentration of significant confidential information on 5-6 billion people. The finance ministers of the European Union countries stated that they would not allow such a stablecoin to circulate on their territory. At a meeting of the US Congress, Zuckerberg promised that this stablecoin would have nothing to do with Facebook. What has changed now? In my opinion, nothing.

I think that a significant part of those who have bitcoins try to hold them, hoping for their further price growth and large profits, and spend them only when absolutely necessary. So far, this behavior seems logical.
I do not see a particular need to buy bitcoins for fiat and then use them as a means of payment, when not everything can be purchased with them. Bitcoins are either stored or sometimes converted to another cryptocurrency.

Of course, gold and bitcoin are not comparable. The only thing that unites them is the high cost. Otherwise, they are almost completely opposite.
To what has been said here, I can add that we should not rely entirely on new technologies, digital in particular. Now the climate is changing, scientists are warning of mass cataclysms, and any technology, including the Internet, may disappear. We do not know what will happen to cryptocurrency in 20-30 years, but descendants can find our gold in tens of thousands of years.
We are not the first civilization on this planet and the technologies of previous human civilizations sometimes surpassed ours. We find gold in all civilizations, but we have not heard anything about the use of cryptocurrency before.

It is necessary to judge not by Putin's words, but by his deeds. Over the past five years, Putin has said a lot of controversy about cryptocurrency. However, we see that Russia has adopted one of the worst laws among all states. People in Russia are prohibited from using cryptocurrency as a means of payment, and it is still possible that criminal liability will be established for this violation.
Putin said that cryptocurrency has a certain value? Is it Putin's credit for admitting the obvious? If bitcoin is now valued at more than $ 60,000 worldwide, it would be foolish to deny that it has value.

From the current position, we can say that cryptocurrency is already playing a certain role in strengthening the state's economy. As far as I remember, the Japanese government noted back in 2018 that thanks to the cryptocurrency, the well-being of citizens has increased and this, in general, has a positive effect on the economy of the state.
However, in other aspects, cryptocurrency is unlikely to have any noticeable positive impact on the development of the state.
