Same religion, similar language, same ethnolinguistic group (Slavic). Ukraine was even part of ZSRR 30 years ago. So there is no Ideological difference. Its only economic and strategic/military reason for conflict. Economical reason was pointed out by OP. Strategic/military reason is that Ukraine was tryign to join European Union and NATO which would enable NATO to place their military bases and missiles 450KM from Moscow. It is unacceptable if you consider your country to be one of the top 3 powers where everyone else is your enemy (that's what Russians seams to think about themselves)

There is a new Idena Chronicle with AMA recap:

https://medium.com/@idena.network/idena-chronicles-7629afabb6bb

In which we can find a new proposal:

IIP-4 Quadratic staking:

"Idena core team has been receiving many requests from the community to add percentage yield to the identity stake and allow stake replenishment. Staking can make the iDNA coin more attractive for investors and reduce inflation by locking coins in stakes.

However, the traditional (linear) staking model leads to inequality because large coin holders can extract the major part of the profits from staking. With Proof-of-Personhood in mind, we can offer quadratic staking reward schemes that are free of capital bias. We invite the community to consider this quadratic staking proposal and discuss its advantages:

Quadratic staking can make the iDNA coin more attractive for investors and reduce inflation by locking coins in stakes. This can lead to faster network growth.
Quadratic staking can make an older identity more valuable and would incentivize people to not terminate their identities.
Quadratic staking can improve security of the protocol because larger stakes increase the value of each identity. In other words, quadratic staking will lead to the growth of the capitalization of many identities resulting in higher security of the network.
Identity’s stake is a security measure that ensures that the private key of a valid identity cannot be purchased without the risk of losing the stake and identity status. We see benefits in being able to replenish the identity stake and get rewarded for that but only if it leads to a balanced rise in stakes for a large number of identities. We consider the staking to be undesirable when it leads to the domination of a few large coin holders. We propose quadratic staking that discriminates against large coin holders and encourages smaller players to increase their stakes."

Same voting power but faster mining for indentities with bigger stake? Am I geting it right?

"Quadratic staking can make an older identity more valuable and would incentivize people to not terminate their identities."

If you allow "stake replenishment" than it does not make older identity more valuable since you can add stake to 1 epoch old account and make it mine faster than 50 epoch old account?

If you are new to crypto I highly suggest you to stick with top 10 projects on CMC. Top 50 if you already know something and you are willing to take extra risk. Its pointless to research all new projects because there are more thank 18 000 projects and every day dozens new are coming. Its not like all of them tries to solve something new or tries to do something better than others. Its like 17900 out of them were created just to scam people. Collect money form investors and continue to pretend of doing something ... Research top 10 ... max top 50.

I don't know how is it with NYC but in many countries to have regional phone number all you have to do is go to shop and buy pre-payed sim card (f.e. with pre-loaded 5$) and use it without kyc. So maybe the easiest way would be to get US phone number and use it with ATMs.

IF and only IF they are able to achieve that without destroying companies and jobs, without creating recession or economic crisis. Because at the and of the day people in charge care about winning next election only. You will not win one if, under your control country have seen collapse of economy. So you print just a little bit more to survive next few years. Its easier to avoid peoples anger with 10% rather than 20% unemployment considering a fact that the level of education in the field of economics is so negligible in society that the concept of inflation is foreign.

Fundamental investor buy cheap and sell high. Speculate/technical trader buy high (f.e after breaking resistance, higher than below resistance) and tires to sell even higher. From fundamental point of view metaverse is far form cheap. Projects that no one is using (they only claim to achieve big things in the future) are evaluated at $4B. thats not cheap for a promise only.

Projects with good fundamentals if BNB - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5208144.msg53299809#msg53299809 but its not listed here.

I've pick those 2 projects not because of fundamentals. They are all just promise of achieve something big in future. they are all not worth the price. But I think that it may not be the end metaverse bubble. There might be one final push and then 5 years of bear market and comeback to true evaluation (-95%).

If this is not the end of the bull run, if this is not the end of the metaverse bubble (strongest gainers during last bull move), then projects like sand or mana look interesting on weekly candles:





Atom looks good too



All charts are logarithmic charts with weekly candles.


Good luck with this meme coin that was just a meme ... and after 5 months some people still didn't get the joke

Zaczęło się od aresztowań za uczestnictwo w manifestacjach, potem za slogany i plakaty "stop war" potem za slogany i plakaty "dwa słowa" (tak, "stop war" jest w rosji obecnie słowami zakazanymi więc ludzie zaczeli używać "dwa słowa" zupełnie jak "człowiek którego imienia nie wolno wypowiadać" zamiast Voldemort z harrego pottera) a obecnie podobno wystarczy stanąć na placu czerwonym z białą kartą w ręce by trafić do więzienia.

I zabawne w tym wszystkim jest to, że obywatele kraju, gdzie panuje takie zniewolenie myślą, że Rosja to ta dobra strona, która oswobodza ukrainę z złych nazistów ...

Go and tell your story to people living in Germany after WW1 or now to people from Wenzuela, Zimbabwe or Turkey. While fighing inflation central bankers reduce money supply as much as they can but there are limits to that. For example try to raise rates from 1% to 20% so that people with variable rate mortgage loans get their loan installment pumped by 500%. Try to pay your own debt (as govement) with 20x higher debt servicing costs... Inflation is not something you control like the color of the socks you plan to wear the next day. It is the result of complex processes and after exceeding certain levels it is unstoppable.

I think you are wrong here.

Legal tender (national currency) - "is a form of money that courts of law are required to recognize as satisfactory payment" (wiki). So it does not mean that you are forced to use it to pay for something. It means that you are forced to accept it if someone is trying to use it to pay for something. So you can legally pay for TV using your PC (barter exchange - Is bartering legal in the US?) if someone else is accepting such payment.

Many shops in my country (especially those close to borders) have 2 prices on each product (national currency and euro) so that tourists could easily pay using both currencies.

Jeśli to nie koniec bull runu, jeśli to nie koniec bańki metaverse (a wydaje mi się, że jeszcze 1 falę możemy zobaczyć), to projekty takie jak sand lub mana wyglądają ciekawie na świeczkach tygodniowych:





Z projektów innego typu to podobnie wygląda Atom:



Wszystkie wykresy to wykresy logarytmiczne (bo tylko na takich coś widać podczas bańki) z świeczkami tygodniowymi

zastanawiam się, czy by może wystarczyło zrobić kilka swapów używając metamaska ale po innej sieci niż ETH (np BSC). Wtedy koszty praktycznie zerowe. Na pewno warto spróbować by potem nie podzielić losu gościa, który przygotował sobie 1000 (nie pamiętam dokładnie ile, ale dużo ich było) portfeli pod aidrop 1inch ale okazało się, że nie spełnil 1 wymogu (tam było chyba min 50$ wartość transakcji a on robił transakcje po 15$) i zamiast zebrać ponad milion $ airdorpa poniósł koszt 30k$ na fee i nie dostał nic.

Postaram się znaleźć źródło. Ale widziałem kilka dni temu artykół, który przytaczał badanie, z którego wynikało, że 60% rosjan popiera "operację na Ukrainie" a jeszcze bardziej by poparło "operację na Polskę". Z artykułu wynikało, że rosjanie żyją w dziurze historycznej. Że z historii przedstawianej w tym kraju wynika, że za WW2 odpowiedzialni są Niemcy i Polacy, że Polacy to naziści, że większość ankietowanych uważa, że Polacy w najbliższych latach napadną na Białoruś (XD?). Wygląda na to, że obraz zachodu w statystycznym rosjanie jest bardzo spaczony przez propagandę. Ci co się buntują i organizują strajki kończą tak:

"Od chwili wybuchu wojny aresztowano ponad 13 tys. Rosjan"

Good luck with yolo all your net worth equal 1 mln $ (the case OP is talking about) into shitcoin only because it claims to yell high apy (which in fact in 99% cases is made via inflation of existing coins). Legit projects APY is max 10% and its nothing compared to daily volatility. Thats the easiest way of losing all your money.

20 % in value stocks (high dividend, low debt, good P/E and P/BV)
30% in gold
20% in crypto
10% in reits
20% in bonds

thats how diversified you should be while investing 1 mln$ from OP.

There are many different inflations: Monetary inflation, CPI - consumer price index, PPI - Producer Price index and many more. None of them is described by situation in which wages stay the same.

But back OP

If you have 1 mln $ and you put everything in non popular stablecoins and lock it in a strange smart contract (most popular one - pancake pays 1-5% not 10-12%) you are exposed with all your wealth to exit scam of stable coin, failure of smart contract (including hacks). Is it worth 8% annually. In my opinion its not.


When you have 1 mln $ you buy a nice house, car, you pay for children's studies and you are left with 200k$. You are wealthy but not rich


Yes. Your 1 mln $ is worth 8% less each year so after a year of staking you have 1.08 mln $ but have similar purchasing power to 1 mln $ year ago.

If you need money here and now all you need is good english and some sense about crypto. Just go to "services" section and spend some time in there.

But if you want to change your life more than just earn few $$ more than learning programming is the best way. And not blockchain coding. It has very narrow applications even when creating blockchain based projects. Its better to know front end to code projects homepages or backend (harder but more money).

W przypadku rosji jeszcze wiecej ... traci krocie. Moim zdaniem rosji zależało na szybkiej akcji. 3 dni i rząd marionetkowy, tak by nikt nie zdażył zaregaować a potem już po ptakach. Polegli po całości i jak to mówione jest w najnowszym raporcie z wojny, który po raz kolejny polecam:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82fbDGgBGE0&t=620s&ab_channel=GoodTimesBadTimesPL

dot. Spotkań USA i Chiny:
"nie wiadomo o czym obaj panowie rozmawiali, jednak sam ten fakt pokazuje, że Rosja wcześniej pozycjonując się na gracza równego USA i Chinon, dzisiaj stała się przedmiotem rozmów największych. To samo w sobie mówi wiele o upadku pozycji moskwy na świecie. Obaj hegemoni mają bowiem dość argumentów by konflik ten zakończyć rozmowami dwustronnymi ..."

Moim zdaniem jedyne co rosji zostało to jak najszybsze zagranie mocną kartą (atomową). Inaczej niedługo zobaczymy rozbiory rosji. Dlatego wiarygodne wydają mi się te listy, czyli w skrócie - "wycofujecie sankcje albo bombardujemy".

 Jak ktoś zarabia na tym konflikcie to USA i Chiny. Traci europa.

Wydaje mi się, że nie ma na świecie obecnie siły, która mogłaby nałożyć sankcje na Chiny (króla produkcji/techonlogi), zwłaszcza gdy byłoby one nakładane za karę za współpracę z Rosją (królem surowców). Sankcje działają moim zdaniem tylko w przypadku ogromnej przewagi jednego podmiotu nad drugim. Gdy siły są wyrównane sankcje przypominają sytuację w której oboje zabraniamy sobie jeść i czekamy aż pierwszy z nas umrze z głodu.

Wracając do ceny bitcoina, to mam przeczucie, że przed nami ruch 10k$ w 1-3 dni. Jeszcze tylko nie wiem w jakim kierunku Widać, że sytuacja na kursie jest napięta

Faktycznie ciekawe listy. Od samego początku wizja szantażu (myślałem o atomowym, ale bombowy na miejsca strategiczne zachodu też może zadziałać) jest jedyną opcją, jaka została rosji.

Chociaż biorąc pod uwagę jak wygląda obecnie Mariupol, który jest regularnie ostrzeliwany bez wyraźnych celów taktycznych. Walenie na oślep. Podobno 80% infrastruktury miasta jest zniszczone. Bardziej prawdopodobne wydaje mi się, że Rosja nie ma już na celu "zdobycie Ukrainy", bo zdała sobie sprawę z tego, że tego nie osiągnie. Nawet jak odpuści zachód, to jak ustalić rząd marionetkowy przy takim duchu walki Ukraińców? Moim zdaniem patrząc na to co robi Rosja, ich celem jest zniszczenie morale poprzez rujnowanie Ukrainy tak długo, aż Ukrainczycy zobaczą, że już nie ma o co walczyć, lub zniszczenie Ukrainy do tego stopnia, że odbudowa jej zajmie dekady (stanie się bezbronna na dekady).

It seems to me that out of boredom and in the final act of desperation to wake up the price action, the team decided to do a denomination where 1000 BTT (new) = 1BTT (old) so that token looks cheaper (looks more like pump and dump meme coins). I doubt there was any other reason for that because BTT price was already super small.
