It's not too relevant to EUR/USD rate of exchange, but the Russian Nord Stream gas supply has been restored today, after a 10-day pause for maintenance., resulting in a drop in oil and gas prices. Europe hadn't ruled out the possibility that Russia may stop gas flows via Nord Stream permanently, once the maintenance was over. Orders have now resumed at 40% of its capacity. Hopefully, that may relieve the oil market and European consumers a tiny bit, not lifesaving but still an improvement.

Europe dont want air pollution usa dont want uk dont want neither canada dont want.
But natural resources its not a problem ukraine have and latin america also south europe all we need and gaz can get it from norway

Their green energy initiatives will bite them severely. I suppose relying on a senile dictator for cheap energy has its consequences.

The central banks have been on trial of Bitcoin simply because Bitcoin undo the slavery system of banking institutions, and china government was too hard on Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. How can a bank auto invest people funds without they consent.

Inflation is everywhere now due to the war. The U.S. inflation problem was partly due to money printing, but plenty of European countries themselves had borrowed too much from themselves in 2020 when they shut down their economies for COVID restrictions so they were bound for some inflation regardless of the war. The current supply chain issues and product shortages just compound a much more complicated issue.

This also highlights how important energy is. You can completely tank a currency by sending energy prices higher because it makes the country's ability to operate (ie ability to produce economic output) more expensive.

The revulsion I had for people, particularly the green climate change activists, who argued that the only effects of the war on Europe for countries choosing to avoid Russian oil was increased prices at the pump. Well, Europe is finding out that isn't particularly the case.

They have already said that fud, But I think everyone knows BTC can never be go up to zero. I think BTC is the future and will go even massive for sure. Wait and see the magic

But they can influence it to some extent since a lot of BTC miners were Chinese residents or owned by Chinese. Say if one day China considers making those guys fall into the line, to whatever plan they have for BTC. It would cause a huge disturbance in BTC.

China is a big country. they announced bitcoin will return to zero whether this is just a prediction or they have valid data about bitcoin in the future will go to zero.

Also, lack of awareness and education about the use of cryptocurrency is another reason why people will always choose cash. Lots of people are still clueless about how cryptocurrency works and how they could use it. Normal people still prefer cash because it's acceptable in all forms of businesses and different transactions. If people would know how to use crypto, there's a possibility that more would switch to it.

One thing I've never really understood with this particular insane conspiracy theory is just why the people who are already in control would want to reduce the number of ordinary people they can exploit. It's like a pharaoh or a plantation owner complaining that he has too many slaves.

I won't deny that much of the world (and certainly my own country) is ruled by an effectively closed club of people, who exploit the remainder of the population... but why would they want fewer people to exploit? If your source of wealth is the people you exploit, why would you want to diminish that? The ruler of a large kingdom is more important and powerful than the ruler of a small kingdom.

I Think bitcoin could go toward 30k range again For a relief rally. Then come back to current range or even more dump possible . If btc would go toward 30k range most of investors will sell it again. BTCBTC

I don’t think it really matters how long it was used. Would you buy an 6 month old GPU that was inside a poorly ventilated case where the gamer overvolted and overclocked and gamed for like 4 hours a day? Or would you get it from a miner who undervolted it and had it in an open air rig.

The only issue with mining rigs are the fans. They generally wear out much quicker than some gamer. Since gamers generally only play 1-2 hours a day, usually the fan doesn’t spin at all during that time. Compared to a miner rig which had it running 60-70% fan speed for years.

  If the United States pressures India on certain issues, India will retaliate.  At the current price of oil, I think the people of that country need a little help in reducing the price of oil.  I think the situation in India will get better soon.

But if India is buying it at a discounted price, why not share this benefit to its people?

There were few people who worked in spaceX and they said some bad things on how Elon was runing the company and said that the board or whoever needs to find a way to keep Elon not doing some silly stuff to interrupt the billions of dollars in research, and what did Elon do in response? He fired those people and made sure that he was running a company where nobody could speak against him like that.

If anyone truly believes that Elon will have a twitter that will be "free speech" I am sorry but you are mislead, it will be a place with lies, and it will be lies that benefits him or things he likes, and the "free speech" he is talking about is basically "saying whatever wrong fact as long as I want to, and nobody can stop me now and I can manipulate the markets this way as well!" that is all he is trying to do and nothing more.

Why did gamers always think they know the best?  once they knew you use your GPU for mining they won't buy from you, well today I had to lie 🤥 to sell some GPU, I pretend like I've never heard about mining, I even tell him to teach me and he said... Don't do it, this will kill your GPU fast, and I was like on  I don't know, hehe

If you want to sell your GPU its better not to tell anyone that you use them for mining unless they are miners.
