Global Warming, Climate Change, Food shortages, People protesting.
I think we can say that we are near to the end of the world already. Undecided JK

War must be stopped. Deforestation must be stopped. Governments must focus on the agriculture right now. We need to help each other so that we will survive.
I agree that humanity must now unite to solve the pressing problem of global climate change. And even more so deliberately and on a large scale not to harm the environment, as Russia is doing now, having arranged the genocide of the Ukrainian people and systematically fires thousands of shells every day from all types of weapons across the territory of Ukraine. This is very harmful to the ecology in the center of Europe, littering the valuable black soils of Ukraine with heavy metals for a hundred years. Because of this, productivity in Ukraine will fall and the problem of hunger in the world will only worsen.
How to stop this war now, when the Putin regime understands only the language of force?
822  Economy / Economics / Re: Who will Replace Russian Gas Supplies to Europe? on: August 23, 2022, 08:39:56 AM

Who will replace Russia?


The Russian Federation has been the main supplier of natural gas to Europe for decades. The gas pipeline network that crosses the continent is huge and connects Russia with almost all European countries. The EU is too dependent on Russian gas supplies. It is therefore forced to negotiate while the Russian Federation holds all the cards wanting to gain more political influence in Ukraine and other countries.

It seems To replace Russia's gas supply will be a big challenge because it takes a lot of time and a lot of resources. Several countries have made efforts to push for a new era of clean energy so that they can not only supply energy but also export this source to other countries and it looks like Qatar and Africa are not expected to be a responsive alternative to Russia's gas supply but it will be interesting to see how they do. all deal with it if the situation arises and it would be better to keep a close watch on the trend.
In my opinion, you should not worry so much about the countries of Europe. They want to get rid of oil and gas dependence on Russia and will do it. At first it will be difficult, you will have to temporarily sacrifice coziness and traditional comfort, but it's worth it. But Russia will forever lose its superiority and the possibility of blackmail and political influence on the countries of Europe. But let's see what will happen next with Russia itself. The Kremlin has long understood that the situation is losing, but Putin is used to bluffing. Therefore, for the time being, they defiantly show the world that everything is fine with them and everything is under control. But at the same time, Russia is steadily sinking.

They also invaded the defenseless country called Afghanistan that was controlled by cavemen (and I'm being literal) spent trillions of dollars and were defeated and had to donate $100 billion to the same cavemen to buy their safe passage while they escaped Afghanistan in the worse way possible.

The United States can help the people of some country in the struggle for their independence, but they are not obliged to fight for them and will not. For twenty years the Americans have helped the people of Afghanistan with everything they could and even fought for them against the Taliban. But this cannot continue indefinitely. They trained the Afghan army and armed dozens of times more than the US has now provided military assistance to Ukraine. If the people of Afghanistan would give a worthy rebuff to the enemy, the help would continue. But they cowardly gave almost all the US equipment to the Taliban and surrendered en masse. Therefore, we have what we have. And there is no US fault here.
In contrast to this situation, the Ukrainians showed complete unity and mass heroism and professionalism in the fight against the Russian invaders. This causes a well-deserved respect and desire  to help defend their country and their nation.

This is the best time to invest on Alt-coins, mostly on the long run holding, and the market is really fluctuating which the Bull Run may take place any moment and buying on the alt-coin, the entering price matter a lot, because what determine the value returns in profits or lost.
Although it is always better to buy altcoins at the lowest possible prices, they do not have the best time during such a period and a significant part of them leave the market forever during the crypto winter. Therefore, you need to carefully choose the objects for your own investment, so that after a while they do not depreciate or even leave the market. . Of course, high-cap altcoins are the least risky to invest in, but they do not always give good returns. Here we need to choose depending on our knowledge of this market, the ability to pay a lot of attention to it and financial opportunities.

News and every where about crisis and food crisis
T b honest i go to shop and all full of food never had problems with food.
I must get 3 meals per day i couldnt function any less then that if i eat less its a suffering for many people.
People not into suffering struggle games, sure the goverments will get a lot pressure from their own people if they start to play with food.

Also im waiting economic bears but everything going up everybody spend money eating out and i dont see crisis.

Wherr is the crisis and where is the food shortages??
Im full of food i dont see any food shortages also i dont see any supply chain distruptions...i go to all shops and i get everything fine.

The crisis are not nowhere id like to see some real crisis but there is nothing everything is just fine
the food crisis here is not associated with availability but with the price of food itself where the average price rises to 10% or even more, this increase there are various factors that make it rise,
maybe at this time your country has not felt the effects of this crisis, or you are a millionaire whose money is not shining, so you say where there is a crisis
OP speaks from his cozy nest and can't see beyond his city. Speaking of the food crisis, we do not mean that it exists in all corners of the planet. It exists in certain regions, usually in underdeveloped countries, or where there has been some kind of natural disaster of a large scale, such as a dry summer. Also, tension with food is experienced by those poor countries where, for various reasons, agriculture is not developed and they were dependent on food supplies, including from Ukraine or Russia, or are not able to buy food in the required volumes at prices that have risen.
826  Economy / Economics / Re: Wheat War I is going to be World War III on: August 21, 2022, 06:47:10 PM
To send grain and other agricultural products from the ports of Ukraine in accordance with the agreements on the provision of a corridor with the participation of Turkey and the UN, signed agreements are needed. The first vessels from Ukrainian ports went to the addresses of signed and confirmed contracts. Now 26 ships loaded with agricultural products have already left Ukrainian ports, and applications have already been submitted for loading 40 ships. In addition, the United States bought 150,000 tons of grain from Ukraine to provide food assistance to countries where the threat of famine loomed.
As far as I know, the first vessel with grain for Ethiopia chartered by the UN World Food Program - Brave Commander - departed on August 16 from the Yuzhny port in the Odessa region.
827  Economy / Economics / Re: Russia May Have Passed Peak Oil on: August 21, 2022, 02:21:13 PM
There is not even a doubt about this. Oil and gas production in Russia will be reduced not only for this reason. Russia unleashed a war in Ukraine, began to blackmail European countries to make the necessary political decisions, using oil and gas as weapons. This blackmail has already been repeated many times, and therefore this time Europe has firmly decided to get rid of Russia's dependence and abandon its oil and gas. This process has been launched and in a few years Russia will lose the main buyer of its carbohydrates.
In addition, many states, due to global climate change, have developed a program for a gradual transition to alternative energy sources, and this is also irrevocable. Demand for oil and gas should fall and Russian in the first place.
828  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: SBI decides to withdraw crypto mining completely from Russia on: August 21, 2022, 01:25:54 PM
More and more businesses are pulling out of Russia, so this is really not that surprising.
As when China banned mining and all the miners migrated elsewhere last year, many miners are migrating again. Be it for political reasons like this, or the quest for cheaper or more reliable power or unfriendly regulations it's going to keep happening. The ones that plan ahead and have good business plans will survive, others will fail.

-Dave

There is nothing surprising. More than a thousand large companies have already left Russia because of the war it unleashed in Ukraine. In Russia, both exports and imports are sharply reduced. Sanctions isolate it from the outside world. The Kremlin has long understood this and is now desperately looking for a way out between a bad and a very bad option for her to end the war. Even the citizens of Russia have already understood this, they are fleeing this country and taking capital with them. Every month they withdraw more than four billion dollars from Russia, and this situation will not only continue, but also grow. The process has been launched and will continue by inertia even when Putin decides to withdraw his troops from Ukraine and the sanctions are eased.
829  Economy / Economics / Re: The impact of Russian and Ukrain war on world economy on: August 20, 2022, 06:08:37 AM
There is scarcity in supplying of wheat and the products coming out from wheat becoming expensive because it difficult to take it out of the border to other countries and the cost of that rising up to 45% high.
The food related problems have been getting worse for some time now, this conflict only highlighted it. It's been a couple of years that a global drought has been in effect, a lot of countries like Australia and US experienced a lot of fires. Many countries have been producing less food in the past couple of years. On top of that, for the past 2 years some countries like China have been buying all the food in the world (currently China stores 60% of all the wheat, rise, grains, etc. in the world!).

After all these problems, a conflict between two big wheat producers broke and the media started covering it. In other words even if it stopped today, the food problems will continue for a couple of more years at least.
Yes, food problems in the world are growing, if only because the population is growing, and growing at the expense of developing relatively poor countries. In addition, in recent years, the food situation has deteriorated due to the coronavirus pandemic, which has significantly disrupted the cultivation and marketing of crops. Russia's military attack on Ukraine also made its contribution, as a result of which Ukraine was unable to sell its grain reserves on the international market in time.

But this war should not be called simply a conflict. Russia has unleashed the largest bloody war since the Second World War, in which thousands, if not tens of thousands of tanks, armored vehicles and other military equipment are participating on both sides. The length of the front is 2450 kilometers. More than a hundred thousand people have already been killed and wounded. Constant explosions cannot but worsen the ecological situation in the combat area. So until Putin stops or is stopped, the food situation will only get worse.
830  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Dogecoin (DOGE) Pump Once Again Indicates Collapse of Crypto Market ! on: August 20, 2022, 05:38:43 AM
I didn't know dogecoin pump and dump is the determine factor of the general crypto market,  I thought only btc has that power. How do you explain all the previous weeks of bear market? Was that because of dogecoin as well?
Despite what the analyst may say i don't think there is a connection, the market is already in bear market.
Of course, Dogecoin, with its capitalization of $9 billion, cannot significantly influence the prices of other cryptocurrencies in this market. Prices can be influenced by such giants as bitcoin with a capitalization of $405 billion and partially ethereum with a capitalization of $200 billion. The price of dogecoin may change slightly under the influence of Musk's tweets, but we can hardly expect a similar surge in its price again, like last year.
831  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum (ETH) on Its Way to $2,100, Top Trader Says ! on: August 20, 2022, 05:25:19 AM
As a result of the Ethereum Merge, Ethereum is already at its highest level since June. The price of ETH has since risen to $1,919, indicating that traders are feeling bullish again. We are just around the corner from the Ethereum Merge, and hype will not go away overnight, so it is very likely that Eth may hit $2000 within a few days. My attention is focused on the final merge update scheduled for September 19.
During this time, the price of ethereum has already managed to rise to $2,000, and today we saw a general decline in the market and its price fell to the current $1,630. It is still possible to buy it at such a low price. Ethereum could rise and go much higher than $2,100. Even up to $5,000. The only question is when this will happen. Of course, it is interesting how the price of ethereum will react to the long-awaited completion of the update. But in the future, we will definitely see its good price growth.
832  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Stablecoins is a good way to keep and save money or not? on: August 18, 2022, 11:01:25 PM
What do you think about stablecoins, some scandals around them and their future? It is interesting to hear the opinion of the members of bitcointalk
It should be borne in mind that most of the current stablecoins are backed by fiat, the currency of states. Therefore, stablecoins do not protect us from the current high inflation. This does not affect the number of stablecoins, but it is aideous for their purchasing power. It automatically declines along with increasing fiat inflation. So fiat-backed stablecoins are not a good way to keep your money. They should be considered as a necessary auxiliary tool when working with cryptocurrency.
833  Economy / Economics / Re: Russia More Than Triples Current-Account Surplus to $167 Billion on: August 17, 2022, 05:08:40 PM
Everyone considers what Russia could give to the world, and nobody asks what could world give to Russia. What you are forgetting is that while they may have some things that the world wants, we shouldn't forget that there are a lot of things that the world can provide which Russia wants. Even something as simple as a facebook ad goes from a Russians pocket to Mark Zuckerberg’s pocket with that logic.

This is why it is quite important that if the world finds a way to not use oil or gas or wheat from Russia, and yet in the future Russians still use products from other nations, the money that they have right now would go down more and more and more, which will put them in trouble.
Facebook is banned in Russia, and the Meta company is recognized as extremist, so Mark Zuckerberg does not earn money in Russia.

This is the main reason for the failure of sanctions against Russia - it seems that in the West no one really knows what modern Russia is and are based on the old stereotypes of the era of Gorbachev and Yeltsin. They tried to sort of shake up the topic of "oil in exchange for food", but it suddenly turned out that Russia also has plenty of food. Grin

Really. It turns out that few people know Russia. Modern Russia is a ban on social networks that are normally perceived and work all over the world, as well as the recognition as extremist of everything that contradicts the propaganda of the Kremlin. There is reason to talk about the successes of Russia. As well as the protection of Ukraine's own territory from occupation is declared terrorist acts. I think that international sanctions should be recognized as extremist in Russia and the problem of sanctions will be solved.
834  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Will Russia Emerge As The Next Dominant Superpower on: August 16, 2022, 04:02:26 PM
@be.open. Do you think that the key difference between a war and a special operation is that Russia conducts this operation with a peacetime army, without mass mobilization. We open Wikipedia and read: "War is a conflict between political entities (states, tribes, political groups, and so on), occurring on the basis of various claims, in the form of armed confrontation, military (combat) actions between their armed forces."
As you can see, humanity considers any hostilities between the armed forces of different countries to be a war. In Russia, there may be a dissenting opinion about the name of the military seizure of the territory of another state, but this does not change anything for other states.

Are you saying that in Russia they perfectly understand what denazification is?
The Russian anonymous Telegram channel "General SVR" reported that on Monday, August 15, very unpleasant data was put on the table for the dictator of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin. We are talking about the results of a sociological survey of Russians about the situation in the country. Thus, among Russians, only 16% "are sure they understand" ... the goals and objectives of the "special operation" (SVO). 41% support the implementation of SVO, 48% do not support it, the remaining 11% do not have a clear opinion. 37% positively assess the president's actions regarding the "special operation",
835  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will the price of BTC ever hit $40k again? on: August 15, 2022, 04:59:49 AM
I observed several changes in the price  within a few months. With these changes, I wish to ask do you think the price of Bitcoin will ever hit $40k again?
I'm just being curious as a new trader.
After hitting $68,000 last year, when the current bear period is over, its $40,000 price won’t be any unreachable challenge, even in the short term. As a rule, during the next bullish period, the price of bitcoin rises even more than the previous ATH. Here one could even talk about the price of bitcoin at one hundred thousand dollars. In my opinion, this question will be of more interest to current cryptocurrency holders.
836  Economy / Economics / Re: is it possible that the bitcoin was created by governments? on: August 15, 2022, 04:18:44 AM
According to conspiracy theory, Is it possible that the bitcoin was created by governments to gain financial strength in the modern world?
If bitcoin was created ostensibly to gain the financial power of the government that created it, then what is the mechanism for the growth of this financial power? In practice, we see quite the opposite effect. Cryptocurrency showed the vulnerability and imperfection of the current fiat payment system and provided citizens with an effective financial weapon against their own governments. I see no reason for governments to create weapons against themselves. This is just one of the theories that are being expressed a lot now without any evidence.
837  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Will Russia Emerge As The Next Dominant Superpower on: August 14, 2022, 08:59:25 PM
@be.open. You say that the goal of Russia's "special operation" in Ukraine in February was the protection and liberation of Donbass, the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine. I wonder how, in your understanding, a special operation in this case differs from a war, if you use this term?

Protecting the population of Donbass must first of all include physical protection. What we observed in the Donbass can hardly be called protection. Not being able to break through the defenses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Russian invaders chose the traditional tactics of a barrage of fire. This is when a certain territory is shelled with artillery and other various types of weapons, after which the Russians go almost to scorched earth. The percentage of civilians in Donbass with such tactics of "liberation" remains very small. In this case, the Russians do not conquer cities and other settlements, but practically only ruins, mostly destroying its civilians. I understand that this is what you call the protection and liberation of the inhabitants of Donbass.

If the term "demilitarization" can mean the destruction of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, then what does "denazification" mean in your understanding? Even in Russia itself, this is still not understood. Should this be understood as the destruction of Ukraine as a nation?
But if we look at how the events unfolded, then from February 24, the Russians wanted to quickly seize the entire territory of Ukraine from three sides at once. Having lost a huge number of troops and equipment, they were forced to leave the northern and central parts of Ukraine in order to avoid complete defeat. And then the plans of the invaders changed: realizing that they could not capture the whole of Ukraine, they focused only on the capture of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions and southern Ukraine. And how, the "special operation" has been going according to plan for the sixth month already? The next gesture of "goodwill" will most likely be the retreat from the right bank of the Ukraine from the Dnieper of that approximately 20,000-strong grouping, which actually fell into an encirclement. It is still possible for the Russians to escape on foot across the dilapidated bridges. Next, you just have to swim.
838  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Will Russia Emerge As The Next Dominant Superpower on: August 14, 2022, 02:12:04 PM
The cynicism of your reasoning here just rolls over. Are you saying that the war in Ukraine would have ended long ago if the United States had not provided military and other assistance to Ukraine? Yes, Ukraine in this case, perhaps, would have been captured by Russia and destroyed as a state, and Ukrainians as a nation. At the same time, the leadership of Ukraine would have been shot or tortured along with a significant part of the civilian population, as the Russians did in the suburbs of Kyiv, when they believed that the war would soon end in victory for them. After the liberation of this territory, more than one and a half thousand civilian corpses, including women and children, were found in the Kyiv region alone, with signs of torture and violent death. Are you talking about such a desired result on this forum?
The people who are in full support of Russia and Putin will always come out and say "Ukraine war wouldn't happen if USA and EU didn't cause it" because in their mind it means "Ukraine would have been in under Russian control" and nothing more. They are basically saying that Ukraine should have been left powerless to start a war or defend one.

We all know that the first action was taken by Russia, Ukraine did nothing but just responded them and that’s it, there is nothing that Ukraine started, if Russia leaves all Ukrainian lands tomorrow, Ukraine won't attack them. Hence, it shows that Russia only wants west to get out in order to take whole of Ukraine and nothing more.
Absolutely right. In Russia, the goals and reasons for the attack on Ukraine are periodically changed, and this testifies to the constant and continuous lies that now permeate the entire domestic and foreign policy of this state. Russia needs Ukraine, its territory, its hardworking and intelligent people, it needs its history to appropriate it for itself, but it does not need an independent state itself and does not need a freedom-loving nation next to this authoritarian country.
Ukraine posed no threat to Russia, whether it was in NATO or not. But Ukraine in NATO would be inaccessible to Russian attack, and therefore they rushed to try to capture it. Thus, Russia made a fatal mistake for itself.

The latest rumour going around about the Ethereum merge is a dump after, you are wrong if you are one of them, Ethereum going proof of stake and fixing the high gas fee have automatically turn this project into a GOLD, every whales will want to stake and enjoy the rewards, even if a dump happens after the so called fork it won't last.
Staking is becoming the thing today and everyone wants to have their share to have a passive income. But when PoS comes, this will make the richer rich as they will have the biggest share if they're holding a lot of Ethereum. We will know what will happen next after the merge but if we're talking about long term, ETH is still strong and likely to stay on its place because many will come back for its purpose of having one of the cheapest fees in the market and that will create volume.
Yes, it is very difficult for many users to collect 32 ethereum to participate in staking, so they are practically cut off from staking. But staking plays a slightly different role in ethereum than in regular staking.
Certainly, after a successful upgrade, ethereum will soon grow in all directions. There is not even a doubt about this. I don’t even quite understand why some people doubt the prospects of this coin.
840  Economy / Economics / Re: Are CBDCs good for the economy? on: August 13, 2022, 04:50:19 AM
Since 2020, many countries of the world have moved from exploring the possibility of introducing national digital currencies to their practical development. Regulators predict that the use of CBDC will reduce the volume of cash settlements, make transactions more convenient, faster and cheaper, and also allow financial inclusion of the population, which still does not have bank accounts. Of course, CBDC will have a positive effect for states and for the population, as the state cashless payment system will become more convenient to use. But in practice, there are still very few states that can boast of ready-made CBDCs, so we cannot yet discuss their practical application.
