Now, on the contrary, we are seeing another very significant drop in the prices of almost all cryptocurrencies in this market. Bitcoin dropped to $16,872, and other cryptocurrencies fell accordingly. I would like to believe that this is the price bottom of this bearish period. A bullish period is not even in sight yet. Despite high inflation in almost all countries, cryptocurrency has not yet become a safe haven for people from such fiat inflation. Perhaps this is explained by the fact that most people simply do not have free money after a three-year coronavirus pandemic.

If we arbitrarily take the confirmed losses of Russian troops only as dead (excluding the wounded, who are several times more), then according to the official statistics of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, they are:
     - October 29 total 70 250 per day 550,
     - 30 October          71 200               950,
     - 31 October          71 820               620,
     - 01 November      72 470               650,
     - 02 November      73 270               800,
     - 03 November      74 000               730,
     - 04 November      74 840               840,
     - 05 November      75 440               600,
     - 06 November      75 930               490,
     - 07 November      76 460               530,
     - 08 November      77 110               650,
     - 09 November      77 950               840,
     - 10 November      78 690               740,
     - 11 November      79 400               710.
These figures are approximate, but in reality the losses can be much higher. Especially now, when the Russians are chaotically retreating in the Kherson region to the left bank of the Dnieper. At first, the invaders for some reason believed that their leadership had agreed with the Armed Forces of Ukraine on an unhindered withdrawal. But after the retreating columns of the Russian Armed Forces were hit with precision weapons, the retreat turned into a stampede to the few remnants of the crossings across the Dnieper. Big traffic jams have formed there, since the Russians themselves have recently destroyed all the watercraft, fearing that the Armed Forces of Ukraine would  cross this river right after them. Now about 20,000 Russian invaders have gathered there, fighting for any opportunity to cross to the other side of the Dnieper.This is a very good goal for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. They will either be killed or forced to surrender. Also, the Armed Forces of Ukraine capture a lot of captured equipment. By the way, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have already captured 500 tanks in the Russian troops. Now this number will increase sharply, since the occupiers will simply not be able to transport all the equipment across the Dnieper.

There will be no mercy for them, because retreating, they mined and blew up civilian critical infrastructure, massively robbed and removed equipment from medical and other institutions, museums, as a result of which Kherson, which now includes Ukrainian troops, was left without electricity, water and gas. The invaders forcibly deported part of the population of the Kherson region, including medical workers.

Meanwhile, Ukraine predictably again receives big victories on the battlefield in the fight against the Russian invaders of its territory.

On November 9, information appeared that the invaders were leaving Kherson, the only regional center of Ukraine, which was occupied in the first days of the large-scale invasion of Russian troops in February this year, as well as the entire left-bank part of Ukraine. The head of the Russian Defense Ministry, Sergei Shoigu, gave the order to begin the withdrawal of Russian troops across the Dnieper River. Before his statement, Shoigu heard a report from the commander of the grouping of Russian troops, Sergei Surovikin. The general said that "Kherson and nearby settlements cannot be provided and function. The defense will be organized by the left bank of the Dnieper."

The occupiers are retreating, trying to maintain defense, randomly blowing up bridges to weaken the onslaught of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but since huge masses of troops are retreating (according to various estimates, there are from 30 to 50 thousand Russian troops in Kherson alone), and there are few evacuation points across the Dnieper River, chaos and panic is very likely, and Ukraine will use this opportunity to inflict significant losses on the enemy with the inevitable accumulation of troops and equipment at broken crossings. The Russian troops do not have a stable multi-channel communication and control, the telephone connection in Kherson has been destroyed. Therefore, columns of troops will inevitably be concentrated in the places of crossings in anticipation of the queue. Attacks on these places will lead to panic and the abandonment of a large amount of military equipment.

Another big victory for Ukraine is planned, which has been preparing since July, when the Armed Forces of Ukraine began to cut off Russian troops from their supply routes with fuel, ammunition and even food with pinpoint strikes on bridges across the Dnieper. But Putin for a long time did not give the order to retreat, so as not to lose his reputation within the Russian Federation, which led to numerous losses of Russians - up to a thousand invaders daily.

CBDC only improve the efficiency of the government's non-cash payments and nothing more. Non-cash payments have previously been along with the circulation of paper money, so the emergence of CBDC does not introduce anything into the financial structure that would force states to abandon paper money. Paper money performs its useful functions in society and the state. In addition, a significant part of people will not want or be able to use bank cards or other types of non-cash money. Therefore, paper money, as the simplest and most convenient method of payment, especially for small household transactions, should continue to be preserved. You should always remember that high technologies are very vulnerable to various catastrophes and cataclysms, so it makes no sense to abandon the old simple ways of paying for goods and services.

Indeed, if earlier we could see some price rise, which kept at this level for a certain time, now the prices have again fallen decently. So, over the past day, bitcoin has fallen in price by 7.2 percent and its price is already less than $20,000, namely $18,319. If ethereum has recently been above $1,500, then its price has fallen by 12 percent in a day and now stands at $1,293. The same can be observed with the rest of the cryptocurrency. Therefore, we do not yet see the end of the bearish period.

This fall, Russia is using at least two types of Iranian unmanned aerial vehicles in Ukraine – Shahed-136 kamikaze drones and Mohajer-6 multi-purpose UAVs.

Ukrainian intelligence estimates that the Iranian combat drone contains components from nearly 30 different technology companies based in North America, the EU, Japan, Taiwan and China.

In particular, in the module that aims the Mohajer-6 missile, a programmable Artix-7 chip from Xilinx, the parent structure of which is the transnational semiconductor company Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), headquartered in California, was found.

The role of the FPV camera, which allows you to control the flight of the Iranian drone in real time, is performed by the products of RunCam Technology Co from Hong Kong. The drone also has an Austrian engine and a Japanese camera. The laser rangefinder is made in China. Air bomb - Iranian production. But no Russian elements were found on the Iranian drones.

In addition, contrary to Iran's latest claims that the drones were sold to Russia before its full-scale invasion of Ukraine is refuted by the fact that Iranian drone parts were manufactured after such an invasion. So, it was found that the propeller of the Mohajer-6 drone was manufactured in February of this year. It's just done. And it also took time to deliver it to the Russian Federation.

This is the opinion of Elon Musk alone, and he is not a great specialist in cryptocurrency. But we already see that all the economies of the states are very weakened by the coronavirus pandemic, which does not want to retreat even a few years after its appearance. And then there's Russia unleashed in the center of Europe the most destructive and bloody war, which has not been since the Second World War. This war has long gone beyond the boundaries of only two states participating in it. More than 50 states voluntarily agreed to further restrict their economies by participating in economic sanctions against the aggressor country. The situation is very complicated and therefore the economic recession in the world can be observed for more than one year.
At the same time, we know that cryptocurrencies very often present us with unexpected price surprises. Therefore, there is no need to despair. The cryptocurrency market can go up and start to recover any day.

Russia was previously really considered one of the strongest militarily and the export of weapons was one of the main sources of budget revenue. But that was before the full-scale invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine. Now all experts agree that Russian samples are ineffective and lose to Western counterparts. Such conclusions can be drawn if we analyze the use of Russian weapons in the war and countering them with Western weapons. After this analysis, the purchase of Russian weapons can only be due to a noticeable difference in price, but the price of Russian weapons is slightly lower, and sometimes higher than similar Western designs.

In addition, due to sanctions and limited access to spare parts, technologies and materials, Russia is losing the ability to produce advanced weapons even for itself. And you can forget about selling for export in such a situation. It also calls into question even the ability of Russia to secure those contracts that were earlier and to repair military equipment that was sold earlier. This certainly does not make Russia a reliable supplier.

Under these conditions, Russia is not only unable to compete with Western counterparts, but is also unable to develop and create new models of modern weapons. This means that Russia is losing the race and is automatically excluded from the group of leaders selling high-tech and effective weapons. All of the above discards the Russian Federation as a supplier to the group of consumer goods and dealers in standard weapons.

The beautiful legend about Russia as a manufacturer of highly effective and high-tech weapons burst like a soap bubble, just like the myth of the "second army of the world." And this is clearly not the last debunked myth about the greatness of Russia, which we will see. Russia turned out to be a colossus with feet of clay, with missed opportunities, wasted time and a budget plundered by Putin. The fall of this colossus is now only a matter of time. And the beginning of the process itself was laid by Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

Recently, Russia has focused on attacks in only one place in Ukraine - near Bakhmut, and suffered enormous losses in manpower and equipment there. Every day, Russia is now losing 400 to 900 of its troops, which is about ten times less than the losses of Ukrainian troops. Therefore, Putin and his entourage are feverishly looking for ways to end the war in Ukraine, but at least somehow preserve their reputation. It is unlikely that they will succeed.

CBDC is not a fiat currency scam. CBDCs should significantly improve the efficiency of government cashless payments. It also cannot be said that the system of national currencies of each state is not viable. With the effective work of the government, its functioning of the currency of this state will also be effective. This system has been developed over centuries and millennia of human history. It should simply be remembered that nothing is perfect in our gross physical world. Cryptocurrency is also not perfect. We need to be able to use a specific payment system for each specific case.

Saving electricity this winter by European countries is another of the consequences of the war unleashed by Russia on the territory of Ukraine and the refusal of Russian oil and gas supplies. However, this is a temporary measure. But for Russia, the negative effect will be much stronger, and most importantly, for a very long term. Therefore, it is quite possible that cryptocurrency mining in Europe will be banned for some time. The situation will return to normal and restrictions on cryptocurrencies will be lifted.

Putin is just playing to the last as a bad clown on stage, still hoping for some kind of miracle and still trying to persuade Ukraine to negotiate on his own terms. But Russia's military defeat in Ukraine is only a matter of time.
 Throughout November, Ukraine is likely to defeat a large grouping of Russian troops in the Kherson region on the right bank of the Dnieper and liberate the only regional center - Kherson, which was occupied in the early days of the Russian invasion with virtually no fight. This will be a significant defeat for Russia and, above all, for Putin, after which the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be able to approach the Crimean peninsula to liberate it.

The fact that Europe will freeze without Russian gas is Putin's next horror story. Closer to spring it will be obvious.

Now there are more than 21,000 different cryptocurrencies in the cryptocurrency market. But this does not mean at all that even half of them work in this market. Actually working, probably no more than 20 percent. Cryptocurrency continues to develop and the most worthy and useful ones will remain on the market. This process will continue for a long time.
As for crypto-exchanges, not only will they not disappear, but on the contrary, they will grow both quantitatively and qualitatively. If the cryptocurrency market develops, then crypto exchanges will also develop.

The United States saw that Putin was preparing to attack Ukraine, but was in no hurry to help her with heavy weapons for protection, because, like other states, they believed that Ukraine had no chance against such a strong adversary as Russia. Ukraine was given a maximum of a week to resist and no more. Therefore, before such an attack, the United States provided Ukraine with only Stingers and Javelins, more to fight in guerrilla conditions after the Russian occupation. Putin was also confident in the rapid seizure of the territory of Ukraine. Therefore, he organized an attack on Ukraine from three sides, including the use of the territory of Belarus in order to simply stun her with his power. Thousands of tanks, armored personnel carriers and other heavy equipment, as well as almost 300,000 invaders, rushed to Ukraine after massive air and missile strikes along all routes.

But Ukraine has chosen the right tactics in these conditions. Considering that the attack front was more than three thousand kilometers, it was useless to organize resistance on the border. In this case, the Armed Forces of Ukraine would have been defeated in the very first days of the Russian invasion. Therefore, armored vehicles were allowed deep into the territory of Ukraine and, taking advantage of the inadequacy of the organization to provide the advancing Russian troops with fuel, ammunition and food, they blocked the roads and created a real hell for the occupiers. Within a few weeks, in order not to completely lose manpower and equipment, the Russians completely retreated from the central and northern parts of Ukraine with huge losses.

For all states, including Russia, it was a huge shock. Only after the United States and its allies saw that Ukraine could not only survive, but also inflict a military defeat on Russia, only months after the Russian invasion did they begin to help Ukraine with more powerful equipment, and then almost single copies.

The United States and NATO as a whole have been preparing for a military confrontation with Russia for decades and, frankly, they were afraid of Russia. And in this situation, the relatively small state of Ukraine, using the miscalculations of the military and political leadership of Russia, began to inflict a significant defeat on it. It has become profitable for the United States and NATO to support Ukraine in every possible way so that by proxy, if not destroy, then significantly weaken Russia economically and militarily. This explains their current assistance to Ukraine. Human values ​​also play an important role here: in the 21st century, Putin's Russia unleashed the largest war of conquest in the center of Europe, clearly acting as an aggressor and occupier. Therefore, uniting around Ukraine for civilized states meant defending universal human values ​​and preventing the onset of an era of chaos and the resumption of the right of the strong, for which there are no laws.

The problem, first of all, is that Putin's Russia does not recognize other negotiations, except for negotiations on its enslaving terms, it wants to secure the territories occupied in Ukraine, and above all the Crimean peninsula. Such conditions are unacceptable for Ukraine. Moreover, every day Russia commits terrorist acts against Ukraine, firing missiles at the peaceful cities of Ukraine and their inhabitants. More than 4,500 cruise missiles have already been fired across Ukraine, not counting the daily shelling of civilian infrastructure with artillery, MLRS and other military equipment. Therefore, Ukraine has already stated that it will not negotiate with the Putin regime.

And there are good reasons for this. During the eight months of the war, the Russian regular army of approximately 270,000 men, which invaded Ukraine in February, has now been practically defeated by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Russia already has an acute shortage of both manpower and weapons. Therefore, Putin announced mobilization and asks for weapons in Belarus, Iran, China and North Korea. But neither the mobilization of "fresh unprepared meat" nor foreign weapons will save the Putin regime. Mobilization has only sharply exacerbated the internal contradictions in Russia and may become the cause of its collapse.

In the last ten days alone, since October 21, Russia has lost 6520 people killed, 141 tanks, 267 armored vehicles, 8 aircraft, 15 helicopters and other equipment, as well as a significant part of its Black Sea Fleet.

Censorship will not be the end of cryptocurrency and ethereum in particular. Certain external regulation of the circulation of cryptocurrencies by states is inevitable anyway. It will add more order and certainty to the cryptocurrency, reduce the number of hackers and scammers. If someone thinks that states will not pay attention to the alternative, free, uncontrolled movement of capital in cryptocurrency, then he is deeply mistaken. This has never happened and never will. Personal identification will eventually be carried out when the cryptocurrency and the banking system come into contact, that is, when the cryptocurrency is converted to fiat, and there is nothing we can do about it. Decentralization and centralization in cryptocurrency will both oppose and complement each other. You just need to work out the golden mean here.

The problem of food shortages will only grow with time. However, it was Putin's Russia that sharply exacerbated this problem with its military attack on Ukraine and the blockade of Ukraine's seaports this year. As a result, more than 21 million tons of grain and other agricultural products have accumulated in the ports of Ukraine, which it could not export to other countries under previously concluded agreements. At the initiative of Ukraine, the UN got involved in resolving this issue, and Russia was forced, through the mediation of Turkey, to conclude an agreement on the unhindered export of grain from the ports of Ukraine.

On October 29, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the suspension of participation in the implementation of the grain corridor. As a reason, they named the attack of drones on the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol on October 29, in which the Russian Federation accused Ukraine and Great Britain. As a result of a well-planned and executed attack, the Russian Black Sea Fleet lost 70 percent of its combat capability. To a large extent, it was his ships that fired their missiles at the peaceful cities of Ukraine and blocked merchant shipping in the Black Sea.

Given this, Turkey, Ukraine and the UN still agreed on the departure of 14 ships with grain from Ukrainian ports on October 31. Another four ships entered the ports of Ukraine. At present, all declared ships with 354.5 thousand tons of agricultural products have already left the ports of Odessa, Chernomorsk and Pivdenny for the countries of Africa, Asia and Europe.
Russia was simply informed about it. No one will ask Russia any more and pay attention to its threats, and any provocation will end for her in the worst scenario.

That the countries of Europe without Russian gas and oil could freeze in the coming winter was propaganda by Russia, which sought to force the EU to lift or at least ease international sanctions in exchange for resuming supplies of its oil and gas. This blackmail and threats this time had no effect on the countries of Europe. Yes, long-running supply chains have broken down. But Europe is confidently overcoming this crisis and has already filled its storage facilities by more than 90 percent without Russian energy carriers. By the end of the year, Europe will completely abandon offshore supplies of Russian oil, and this will be a serious blow to the Russian economy. Russia is now losing on all fronts. The bet on force, blackmail and threats did not work this time. Hard times will come not in Europe, but in Russia.

There are doubts, of course, and very large ones. Putin's Russia does not prove its strength in culture, science, technology. She is trying to prove that she has brute physical strength and therefore she can neglect the established rules of behavior in society, seize neighboring states, rob and kill people there. There is something to brag about in the 21st century. But Russia is not succeeding in this either. The Russian army is now being defeated in all sectors of the front in Ukraine.

Yes, yesterday in Russia they announced that they are withdrawing from the concluded agreement on free grain supplies from the seaports of Ukraine. That is, that Russia will continue to fire on and sink civilian ships from different countries that will transport food along the Black Sea to countries that are now in dire need of it. Already today, Russia fired on the sea trade and transport routes of the Dnieper-Bug estuary, including from the Grad MLRS. Russia thus behaves like a terrorist state, a robber and a pirate.

However, you kept silent about the formal pretext that Russia used to withdraw from the "grain" agreement. And the reason was that last night and in the morning, the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol, which it occupied, was attacked by drones and suffered serious losses. Presumably, three or four ships were seriously damaged and could be sunk, including the next flagship of the Black Sea Fleet, the frigate Admiral Makarov. Losses will be specified, since Russia has blocked the bay and does not allow information about the incident to leak. The Russians were sure that this was the most protected place of their warships. And again they miscalculated, as with the Kerch bridge, which Ukraine also successfully attacked. So is Russia really that strong?

As predicted earlier, after the military defeat of the Russian troops in Ukraine and the announcement of mobilization in Russia, the national liberation movement of the peoples oppressed by Russia and the nationalities that are part of the Russian Federation has sharply increased. Previously, it was believed that Chechnya (the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria) and Dagestan might be the first to try to secede from the Russian Federation.

However, on October 27, the text of the declaration "On the State Independence of the Republic of Kalmykia" appeared. The Declaration of Independence of Kalmykia was drawn up and signed by members of the representative body of the Kalmyks - the Congress of the Oirat-Kalmyk People, Idel.Realii reports. Among the authors and signatories are the ex-director of the Center for the Development of the Kalmyk Language Arslang Sandzhiev, the leader of the regional branch of the Yabloko party Batyr Boromangnaev, ethno-linguistic and political activists Vladimir Dovdanov, Erentsen Dolyaev, Albert Sharapov and others.
The declaration of the Congress lists the main claims against the current Russian regime, which prompted the authors of the document to proclaim the beginning of the struggle for independence. Among them are “the insane centralization and militarization of the country”, “the Kremlin’s total attack on the cultures and languages ​​of the non-Russian peoples conquered by Russia”, “the commission of international crimes” and five more points referring to the authoritarian and imperialist nature of Russian politics.

The authors of the declaration separately note the ignorance of the rights of repressed citizens - victims of the deportation of Kalmyks and the problem of "illegally seized lands" - territorial disputes that arose between the Astrakhan region and Kalmykia as a result of the abolition of the latter by Stalin's decree of 1943. Earlier, one of the members of the Congress, Dolyaev, argued that the entire territory of the Astrakhan region should be part of independent Kalmykia as a historical area of ​​settlement of Kalmyks.

Expressing disagreement with the policy pursued by the Kremlin, the Congress of the Oirat-Kalmyk People “declares the need for the complete liberation of the Oirat-Kalmyk people from colonial dependence on Russia” and “declares its determination to seek the withdrawal of the Republic of Kalmykia from the Russian Federation, the proclamation and creation of a sovereign independent states".

The eight-year hybrid war in Ukraine and the beginning of a large-scale invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine was justified by the need to support the LDR and the DPR in their desire to secede from Ukraine and their right to self-determination. Now the same thing will happen in Russia itself, but on a larger scale. The Russian Federation may soon break up into 26-30 independent entities. Only part of the territory up to the Urals, where there are practically no oil and gas deposits, can remain in Russia. This is a striking answer to the question of whether it will be a superpower.

As a result of the outbreak of Russia's war against Ukraine, the aggressor state forever lost the status of a leading energy state. This is stated in the latest report of the International Energy Agency (IEA).
The agency believes that Russia's war against Ukraine means the end of the "golden gas age" in the world. Now the states will think about alternative energy sources. The International Energy Agency emphasized that Europe was the main consumer of Russian gas, but because of the war, Russia is losing markets.

Experts predict that by 2030 Russia will lose 1 trillion of its income. Experts are confident that the Russian Federation will not be able to reorient itself to the Chinese market, since this state is also changing.

The International Energy Agency predicts an increase in the role of "green energy" and a reduction in the consumption of coal and oil. European Commissioner for the Internal Market Thierry Breton said that before the war, the EU depended on Russian gas by 40%. Now - only 7%. And after some time, Europe may refuse Russian gas altogether.

Thus, Putin's blackmail has resulted in Russia permanently losing its main source of income.
