341  Economy / Economics / Re: The volatility in the price of a bitcoin is falling over time, or not. on: September 29, 2023, 06:44:20 AM

Ideally, the volatility of Bitcoin should decrease as more and more people adopt it. But I have my doubts as well. Yes, there is definitely a question with a less volatile Bitcoin. Will Bitcoin become a more widely utilised medium of exchange or will it remain a haven for traders once it stabilises? I recognise that a lopsided ownership of Bitcoin may lead to price manipulation. Here, I agree with you. As for Bitcoin, I too find it difficult to think that it can ever achieve the same tranquil, stable condition as conventional currencies. There is definitely a rough road ahead. However, it's important to remember that obstacles challenge every new idea and technology. As we wait, let's observe
I do not see any significant reduction in Bitcoin price volatility even if there is a dramatic increase in adoption and use by people and businesses. As the liquidity of Bitcoin increases, its price will certainly increase, and the higher the price, the greater the amplitude of its price fluctuations becomes, that is, its volatility increases.
Decentralized cryptocurrency is based on the lack of price regulation and this is the root cause of its high price volatility. Refuse free pricing for cryptocurrency
  is impossible, which means its high price volatility will continue. This indicator may vary only slightly depending on the specific characteristics of market conditions. But so far no one can give an exact answer to this question.
342  Economy / Economics / Re: Our future with renewable energy. on: September 29, 2023, 06:16:05 AM
So I read a thread on the forum by Ultegra134 that talked about renewable energy and he asked;

"The big question here is, can the world be 100% dependent on renewable energy sources? How can that be achieved and are they sustainable?"

The thing is, according to several studies and experts, it is possible for the world to be 100% dependent on renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass. However, this would require a major transition of the current energy system, which is mostly based on fossil fuels that are non-renewable and contribute to climate change.


Most likely, the question was posed a little incorrectly. Countries are switching to the use of alternative energy sources and this is the call of the time, since the use of traditional oil, coal and gas is very quickly deteriorating the climate on our planet. If earlier people usually dismissed the solution to this problem by saying that it was a problem of the distant future, now everyone already sees the consequences of such neglect. Humanity will definitely switch to other, more environmentally friendly energy sources, and not only those that are currently known. But this is not an addiction. This is the convenience and safety of our society. We can switch to other energy sources at any time, which will be more accessible and cheaper.

There are also reports of other incidents involving air defence systems in Ukraine, when missiles miss aircraft or enemy rocket and hit residential buildings. But I guess Russia is to blame for poor skills of AFU personnel?   Grin
If a Ukrainian missile malfunctions for some reason and falls somewhere else instead of the target and kills Ukrainian citizens, the root cause of all these deaths is still Russia. The Russian army treacherously invaded the territory of Ukraine, causing destruction and death to military and civilians in Ukraine. If it were not for the Russian military attack, the Ukrainian missile would not have been fired and there would not have been the accidental deaths that periodically happen in all wars.

  Now let’s return to the grain deal terminated by Russia. It seems that the joy of Russians over Russia’s refusal to participate in the “grain deal” is premature. This is now noted even by collaborators and traitors of Ukraine, who admit that the refusal of the grain deal was a strategic mistake of the Kremlin, for which the Russian Black Sea Fleet is now paying. As Odessa collaborator and traitor to Ukraine Igor Dimitriev writes in his telegram, the Russian Black Sea Fleet is now “systematically being expelled from the annexed Crimea... The Russian Black Sea Fleet in Crimea is now paying for the Kremlin’s action, which is almost daily subjected to attacks from Ukrainian missiles and drones...Ukraine is seeking the withdrawal of the Black Sea Fleet to Novorossiysk, which will expose the Crimean coast and allow the landing of small sabotage groups... After this, Novorossiysk itself will come under attack. This will create serious economic problems - a significant part of Russian grain and oil exports goes through Novorossiysk. Replacing this route is very complicated. Following Ukrainian grain exports, Russian grain exports may collapse. The joy from the termination of the deal was premature," Dimitriev complained.

Russia felt its first serious loss in the Black Sea on March 24, 2022. On this day, one of the largest landing ships of the Russian Navy, Saratov, was disabled by a Tochka-U missile in the port of Berdyansk. Several more landing ships - Novocherkassk, Orsk and Tsezar Kunikov - were damaged.

  On April 13, 2022, the Ukrainian army dealt a crushing blow to the flagship missile cruiser Moskva with a Ukrainian shore-based cruise missile Neptune. The cruiser caught fire and sank to the bottom. At least 37 sailors were killed and about 100 were injured.

On June 17, 2022, the Ukrainian army destroyed the Russian tug Vasily Bekh, which was carrying the Tor anti-aircraft missile system. And on October 29, the new Russian flagship frigate Admiral Makarov, the minesweeper Ivan Golubets and another ship were damaged in the Bay of Sevastopol.

In addition, the Ukrainian army has damaged five more Russian ships in the Black Sea in just the last few weeks—in fact, 10% of the entire fleet based there.

Thus, on the night of September 12-13, a missile strike was carried out on the invaders’ dry dock in Sevastopol. The targets were the large landing ship Minsk and the diesel-electric submarine Rostov-on-Don, one of four submarines of the Black Sea Fleet that carries Kalibr cruise missiles. As a result of the attack, the Minsk lost almost its entire superstructure, and the submarine received two large holes in its hull from a direct hit from missiles.

On September 14, information appeared about new attacks on Russian ships in the Black Sea. The Ukrainian Armed Forces reported that the Ukrainian Defense Forces damaged two Project 22160 patrol ships of the Vasily Bykov type. And on Friday, September 15, an experimental SBU drone shot down the Russian missile ship Samum near Sevastopol Bay. The impact hit the rear of the ship. The ship received significant damage and lost speed. As a result, the occupiers had to tow the Samum for repairs with a large trim to the stern and a list to starboard.

On the night of September 14, military counterintelligence of the Security Service of Ukraine and the Ukrainian Navy destroyed the Russian S-400 Triumph air defense system near Yevpatoria in annexed Crimea, worth $1.2 billion. First, drones hit the target, hitting the complex's radars and antennas, and then the Ukrainian military launched two Neptune cruise missiles at the launch complexes. This is already the loss of the second S-400 Triumph complex out of six deployed on the occupied Crimean peninsula, which Russia considered impregnable.

Regular strikes against Russian air defenses and airfields in Crimea now allow the Ukrainian Armed Forces to launch precise strikes against other Russian targets and control points.
Thus, on September 22, during a meeting at the headquarters of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in the center of occupied Sevastopol, several missile strikes were carried out, as a result of which the building was penetrated from the roof to the basement. After the strike, the commander of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, Admiral Sokolov, was listed as missing, and among the wounded were the commander of the group, Colonel General Romanchuk, and the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Tsekov.

This war will last a long time if NATO continues to intervene and the US continues to supply weapons. In the end, the impact of this war made everyone panic and only made third countries hungry, while Putin ensured that food supply to African countries was smooth.
The UN must have the right solution to end this war, the UN must not defend the interests of America and the EU. The UN was founded not to defend one country or a particular group of countries, the UN must be fair and wise in looking at it. And the UN must not be dictated to by a group of countries, the UN must have wisdom in solving problems, not making problems or situations worse.
Putin and his troops continue to bomb and shell Ukraine’s Black Sea port infrastructure, elevators and grain storage facilities. Thus, Putin is deliberately creating a shortage of grain that will not reach world markets, and this, in turn, will increase prices. Doesn't this bother you? Is this how Putin ensures uninterrupted food supplies to African countries? Or by taking stolen grain from the occupied territories of Ukraine and trying to sell it to third countries?

If Great Britain does not play by the rules, then how do Russia and its bloody leader Putin play? Is he playing by the rules, unleashing the biggest and bloodiest war since World War II with the goal of capturing a neighboring state, where about forty thousand shells are now fired every day?

All states are now experiencing difficult economic times. Great Britain will survive this period too. The question is, will Russia survive them or will it disintegrate into a number of small republics?
347  Economy / Economics / Re: The world continues dumping US dollar (Gold, New World Order, World War III) on: September 09, 2023, 07:21:38 AM

If you mean armed conflict I believe the chances of a large scale armed conflict is low at this point specially in more of Europe (unless something major changes, like I said above). However, it will remain in Ukraine and Russia may start advancing more to completely cut Ukraine off from the sea. Worst case scenario is for Russia to go through Belarus to take the tiny part of Lithuania that links it to the part of Russia (ie. Kaliningrad) that is separated from mainland to gain better and direct access to Baltic sea.

The great and mighty Russia has been unable to cope with the relatively small Ukraine for a year and a half and still dreams of capturing other states? Alas, she clearly doesn’t have enough strength. Even to resume the offensive and cut off Ukraine from the Black Sea, today for Russia is already in the realm of only imperial intentions, which are far from reality, nothing more. During the autumn months, the Armed Forces of Ukraine may well throw the Russian invaders into the Sea of Azov in the south of Ukraine, after which the Russians will feel very uncomfortable in the occupied Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea, which will be completely within reach of Ukrainian missiles and will certainly turn into an island for them, without full-fledged military supplies equipment and ammunition.

Given that the Russian professional army is almost entirely defeated in Ukraine, with a critical shortage of military equipment, especially artillery, is it still threatening to attack the Baltic countries, which are NATO members? For Russia, this would practically mean suicide.

Meanwhile, Russian Ambassador to the Republic of South Africa Ilya Rogachev, at a meeting with UAE Ambassador Mahash Saeed Al Hameli in Pretoria, presented a banknote of 100 BRICS, Iranian agency Irna reports.
The article you linked to states that at the party of the UAE Embassy in Pretoria, which took place on Tuesday evening on the occasion of the country's admission to BRICS membership, the Russian Ambassador to South Africa made a short speech and presented the UAE Ambassador with a symbolic banknote of one hundred units of countries BRICS. This banknote is purely symbolic, such money does not exist, it does not even indicate the name of this monetary unit. That is, this symbolic banknote has no practical significance for the emergence of a single currency of the BRICS countries.
There are still different rumors and opinions surrounding the single currency of the BRICS countries, but we have not yet heard at the official level that there will be such a currency and what kind it will be.

Tell me: where these cities and villages destroyed exclusively by the Russians? It's like AFU is shelling Russian trenches and the Russians are shelling the civilians? What's the point in that? No-one in his right mind would spend ammo to destroy cities instead of the military.

Russia fires cruise missiles at the entire territory of Ukraine almost every day and launches dozens of attack drones. You can tell different things about where the Russians are aiming, but the missiles mainly hit civilian infrastructure and residential buildings of civilian citizens of Ukraine. Either the Russians have crooked hands, or the Russians’ military equipment is so inaccurate, or they still deliberately shoot in such a way as to cause more harm to the economy of Ukraine and kill more civilians. Just yesterday, on September 8, Russia launched missile attacks on Sumy, Zaporozhye and Krivoy Rog, where civilian infrastructure and residential buildings were hit.

I can also give you an example. On September 6, the Russians fired rockets at the market in the city of Konstantinovka, Donetsk region. The attack took place around 2 p.m., when there were a lot of people in the market. There are 17 deaths and 32 wounded among the civilian population. 28 trade pavilions were destroyed. There were no military targets nearby, that is, the attack was carried out exclusively on civilians. There is already a reaction from officials in the US, Europe and other countries to this terrorist attack.

So you are saying that there is no point in such shelling? No one in their right mind would waste ammunition on destroying cities instead of an army? Apparently the Kremlin and the Russian army have not been guided by common sense for a long time, because this has been going on for a year and a half.

In the combat zone in the Donetsk region and southern Ukraine, the destruction by Russians of 70-90 percent of cities and other settlements during their “liberation” has generally become a normal practice. After this war, the numbers and real consequences of the actions of the Russian occupation forces will definitely be announced. Over 71 thousand crimes of the occupiers have already been registered in Ukraine. In due time, they will be announced by the international tribunal when condemning racism.

~snip~

Invasion war to Ukraine still interested topic for discussing and reason why several European Union suspend with Russia from all sector, not only with economic side but also all kinds of Russia's sport have been banned.

It is the most shameful thing the US and EU have done, showing their stalemate in the war against Russia. I remember in all sports, especially football, they always uphold and uphold the spirit of not discriminating against race, color and putting politics aside to get the most fairness. But then, the US and the EU did things that were contrary to the principles and rules they had set for themselves.
The aim is to isolate Russia in the first place, with the aim of influencing it to change its positions. And I support this position if it had real results in reality, but we notice that the Russian government does not care about these measures and continues its policies of obstinacy, indifferent to the direct impact of this on its people in its various segments, especially those outside Russia.
At the same time, I find that it is an absurd measure, since it did not achieve results in previous experiences with Iran, for example, or Israel, since preventing it from major international events did not deter it from the atrocities it is carrying out.
If the international economic sanctions imposed on Russia because of its military attack on Ukraine seem absurd to you, because they do not give the desired effect, offer your options on how to get Russia to stop killing Ukrainians and return to compliance with international norms and rules of conduct. International institutions such as the UN are currently incapacitated. The UN, which is called upon to respond quickly to such acts of aggression, cannot even condemn Russia's actions, let alone expel it from the Security Council, if only because the Russian Federation is illegally in the UN, since no one is in this organization did not accept.
The rules and regulations are ours to establish. We can modify them if things need to be fixed. Suppose the US and EU do not use sanctions to restrain Russia's rise. Russia will quickly level Ukraine. I don't know what this campaign means. But Russia is destroying Ukraine and its innocent people. It is affecting the global economy. Putin also announced the withdrawal of Russia from the New START Treaty. What do you think if Russia used nuclear weapons?
Russia and Ukraine should sit at the negotiating table to make things better.
Now the UN cannot even condemn Russia’s aggressive and piracy actions towards Ukraine, since Russia is a permanent member of the Security Council of this international organization and blocks all decisions it does not like. This is absolutely wrong and needs to be corrected, but it is impossible to correct it since Russia is against any UN decisions directed against it. This is a complete collapse of the UN as a permanent body and does not fulfill its functions.

If Russia uses nuclear weapons, it will not change anything, but the situation will sharply worsen for everyone, including Russia. Countries such as the USA, China, and India have long warned Russia not to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine. Therefore, if Putin decides to do this, Russia will definitely find himself in complete diplomatic and economic isolation. And the consequences of a nuclear explosion will be very negative both for Russia itself and for Europe, which are difficult to calculate in advance. But this will not change anything for Ukraine; it will still defend itself, but it will be more difficult for Russia to attack it.

The Ukrainian government has already stated that Ukraine will not negotiate with the current Putin regime, since Putin does not comply with any agreements. In addition, Putin perceives any negotiations as a manifestation of the weakness of the other side and all his negotiations boil down to the demand for the actual capitulation of Ukraine and the presentation of territorial claims to it, which is unacceptable for Ukraine.

I don't think it's worth agreeing with your opinion about the financial freedom that CBDCs bring to people. CBDCs of different states increase the efficiency of the functioning of their national currencies, but do not provide any noticeable freedom in financial relations, since they are completely controlled by the governments of these states. Government cash gives people even more financial freedom than their CBDC.

As for private and commercial CBDCs, such as USDT, USDC, DAI, BUSD, they are direct competitors of state CBDCs and states will limit their circulation over time.

That is, you want to say that the United States and other NATO members should not supply weapons to Ukraine and thus the war will end faster by quickly destroying Ukraine and a significant part of Ukrainians by Russia?

Did you know that on December 5, 1994, the leaders of Ukraine, Russia, Great Britain and the United States signed a memorandum of security guarantees for Ukraine in connection with Ukraine’s accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons? These states, including Russia, pledged not only not to attack Ukraine in order to change its territory, but they themselves were guarantors of the security of such non-aggression by other states. At the same time, Ukraine abandoned the third most powerful nuclear potential, transferred its nuclear weapons, strategic bombers and even long-range missiles to Russia, and now Russia has treacherously violated the terms of this agreement and is firing Ukrainian missiles from Ukrainian aircraft at peaceful cities in Ukraine. The United States and other NATO countries, by now providing weapons to Ukraine, are fulfilling the terms of the Budapest Memorandum on guarantees for the security of Ukraine. Ukraine tried to be an absolutely peaceful state and began to sharply reduce its armed forces. At the time of the Russian attack in 2014, Ukraine had only a few tens of thousands of combat-ready army. But, as it turned out, the proverb that if you want peace, prepare for war remains true. Therefore, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are now one of the best armies in the world with invaluable experience of modern warfare and are successfully beating the Russian “second army of the world.”

The UN is supposed to ensure that countries comply with the UN Charter, which Russia has now completely violated by trying to seize Ukraine militarily. In this war, Russia is the attacking party and the aggressor, and Ukraine is only defending its freedom and independence. For some reason you completely forgot about this. This war will end immediately if Russia withdraws its troops from Ukraine.

In today's world with concern of oil shortage, everyone is moving towards green energy and every country is looking alternatives for oil. The world is moving towards Green energy is often referred to as clean, sustainable, or renewable energy. While Russia and U.S.A fighting over oil meanwhile China is increasing solar capacity.  China's solar capacity is now 228 gigawatts (GW), more than the rest of the world combined, according to Global Energy Monitor. I always appreciate this when several country started shift their focus on green energy, which is part of the Sustainable Development Goals.
In recent years, all of us have seen and felt on our own bodies how quickly the climate on our planet is changing and what dangers this threatens us with. Scientists have long warned humanity about this. But this is how a person works: if he does not see it directly and really, then he will not do anything. The situation has already become directly catastrophic and this will push us very sharply to switch to alternative energy sources. Oil and gas can become raw materials for the chemical industry and will be used less and less as a direct source of energy. I think that soon it will be enshrined in international norms. Therefore, Russia will lose its current advantage in the energy sector.
355  Economy / Economics / Re: Is space mining creating market differences and on-earth-inflation? on: September 06, 2023, 06:15:52 AM
Of course, if humanity begins to explore the more distant corners of our universe and supply rare metals and other chemical elements to Earth in large quantities, then this will affect the price of currently existing value standards, such as gold and silver. But I don't think it's worth worrying too much about it. Almost every year we discover new chemical elements with more complex structures and weights. Therefore, there will always be enough rare elements that can serve as a measure of value for us.

If our planet is supplied with the raw materials we need from outer space, people will only benefit from this. In any case, this will not affect the increase in inflation.

A lot of things have actually changed across the globe following the war in Ukraine with supply chain receiving the major hit. As expected, this have had serious negative impact on many economies. prices of food items have tripled in my country as Russia/Ukraine constitute part of the major producers of fertilizer and wheat. If this trend continues, we might see global emergency in food as many people are already struggling to feed.

I feel the Russian Ukraine war could have been avoided as it is a clear case of proxy war of West with the East. Same scenario is also brewing in West and Central Africa and I hope it does not escalate. As a matter of urgency, the whole world must come together this time to put and end to the war in Ukraine because it is affecting the entire world in no mean way, not forgetting the innocent lives being wasted daily in that avoidable war.

friendly countries between the two countries have made every effort to stop the Ukraine vs Russia war but it is difficult to stop a war between countries when each of them has interests that they want to protect and fight for (we can say they are very selfish), my country is far from Europe but the impact of the war between the two countries is quite felt in our country, things disturbance we have felt like the exchange rate of our country's currency, delays in import-export goods and also fuel shortages.
I would like to hear from you what is the manifestation of selfishness on the part of Ukraine. The fact that Ukraine continues to defend its freedom and independence and does not want to give Russia part of its territories? Then, in order to quickly end this war, offer Russia the territory of your country, or are you also selfish in this regard?

The international community made very little effort to stop Russian military aggression when, in 2014, Russia militarily seized the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea and parts of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions. What did they do besides showing concern? Therefore, Putin went further and is trying to capture the whole of Ukraine.
358  Economy / Economics / Re: Blackrock invest in ukraine on: September 05, 2023, 06:50:00 AM
I doubt it that most people who live in Crimea and Donbas want to be liberated by Ukraine.  Grin

Do you think that in the so-called DPR and LPR, and even in Crimea, they are satisfied with life and the current situation? In Russia, they previously stated that they had come to liberate the Russian-speaking population of Donbass from Ukrainian Nazis, whom no one had even seen in their eyes. And what do they have today? Cities and other settlements where hostilities swept through are destroyed by 80-90 percent. There are practically no men left in the Donbass region: they either left, or died, or were mobilized to fight against Ukraine. Because of this, the work of communal services is practically paralyzed. The population is robbed and raped by the military. The industry in the Donbass has been stopped, some of the enterprises have been taken to Russia. Crimea from a prosperous peninsula and a paradise for tourists has turned into a military base of Russia, from 500 to 800 thousand Russians have moved there, who establish their own rules there. Do you think the locals like it?
After these territories are liberated by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, I am sure that there will no longer be a desire to separate from Ukraine for a long time.
359  Economy / Economics / Re: Blackrock invest in ukraine on: September 04, 2023, 05:11:42 PM
The American government has been anti-Russian since the beginning and the US administration has been helping Ukraine in various ways since the beginning. The main reason for such assistance to Ukraine is to use Ukraine to worsen Russia's diplomatic relations with Ukraine. But when the war between Ukraine and Russia took place, the USA made a big profit. After Ukraine's war with Russia, Russia is trying to change the economic situation of Ukraine first. When the economic status of a country goes down, various investment institutions from that country will stop investing, and if the amount of investment in the country is low, the impact will directly go to the military sector. The blackrock investment may also be a move by the US to control Ukraine's economic system.
You describe events incorrectly and place accents incorrectly, so the conclusions about the negative participation of the United States in the Russian war against Ukraine are absolutely wrong. I see that in your understanding, white and fluffy Russia is undeservedly attacked by the United States and that the United States is trying to worsen the attitude of other states towards Russia as much as possible. But what about Russia, which from the very beginning after the collapse of the USSR has been consistently pursuing an aggressive policy towards its neighbors, forming pro-Russian puppet regimes on their territory, which are constant hotbeds of military conflicts? So it was in Moldova with the formation of the pro-Russian Transnistrian Republic, during the attack on Georgia in 2008 with the formation of the pro-Russian South Ossetia, during the attack on Ukraine in 2014 with the formation of the pro-Russian DPR and LPR on its territory. You describe the opening of Russia's military attack on Ukraine as "there was a war", as if it were some kind of natural disaster, and not a pre-planned attack on another state with the aim of capturing it. Already on the first day of such an attack in February 2022, the Office of the President of Ukraine received calls from the Kremlin with a proposal to sign a surrender. How else should the international community react in relation to the aggressive actions of Russia, which brazenly and cynically began to ignore all possible international norms and show that it relies exclusively on military force in relation to other states? Maybe the United States should have helped Russia's aggression so that you don't reproach it now?

Civilized states have long decided who in the current war on the territory of Ukraine is the aggressor and who is the victim of the attack. Yes, the military industry of the US and NATO member countries is now at full capacity and will have big profits because Russia's aggressive military actions have spurred the arms race. In addition, Russian weapons in this war showed very low efficiency, while NATO weapons supplied to Ukraine, on the contrary, showed high efficiency. Therefore, military orders are now sent to the defense enterprises of the NATO countries, and above all the United States. After all, now the Kremlin also continues to threaten war with the Baltic countries, Poland, and Germany. Russia deserves the current negative attitude towards itself, as it continues to attack the peaceful cities of Ukraine every day and sow death and devastation.

You wanted to hear opinions? So here's mine: AFU made a mistake by trying to stop Russia at Bakhmut. They lost most of they most professional and experienced fighters there. AFU will run out of steam in the South this year and it will be the end. Russia will start their offensive on Harkiv next year and the front will collapse. Western allies will try to save the situation by making Zelenski start negotiations but chances are Russia will refuse this time. You can guess what will happen next....
Anyway, I listened to your opinion. By the end of autumn, we'll see which of us is right.
The Ukrainians really spent more than two months breaking through the first and most difficult line of defense. But the invaders also spent about 60% of their time and money on the construction of this line of defense. The broken line of defensive positions consisted of a system of interconnected Russian trenches and dugouts, protected by anti-tank ditches and dense minefields. Therefore, it was foolish to throw a lot of infantry and a lot of equipment into its breakthrough. It was a relatively slow and staged work with methodical clearing of large areas. Now the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will go faster, there is already the possibility of maneuver and the use of more equipment and people. Therefore, the APU is going according to plan.

Ukrainians defend their land and their independence. We have no choice or alternative. But what are the Russians dying for in Ukraine? For Putin's imperial ambitions?
