1  Economy / Economics / Re: Wheat War I is going to be World War III on: July 02, 2022, 06:13:08 AM
Agriculture fertilizer in general is undervalued because of disruption from many factors not just this war.  There is greater world GDP growth, growing populations and development of economies away from an agrarian self sufficiency economicy in terms of food more supply will be needed from those with land capable of mass production.   Russia trying to bully a nearby country into its cartel influence for money making and power advantage is not out of character.    The bigger problem might be global warming or altering weather patterns, this will alter current food production and require new land to be found and enriched.
I don't believe this will happen anytime sooner. Most countries have enough wheat supplies. Also I have seen in news - Putin announced he has enough wheat to supply to the countries who would be needing it.
Russia is unstoppable.

Russia can be stopped. Its not like its just the people in EU and US can think better. China doesn't create war but where are they now, they are the ones where bank go for bailout and US takes loan from them to give to Ukraine.

Putin is also a reasonable man, things just just need a mutual relationship.
As long as Zelensky is open to negotiate. He only have to listen to himself and not to EU and the West that pushes them get into this war. They don't even profit from this. Zelensky just have to use the alternative route before its too late. He doesn't have to wait when all are hungry and cold that his private soldiers will decide to shoot him to end this war.
If Putin would be reasonable, he would not attack Ukraine. This war will kill him and Russia as a whole. In any case, it will no longer be a superstate, as previously thought. Putin leads Russia to isolation from the outside world, the fall of the economy, poverty, crime and unemployment.
The President of Ukraine Zelensky just listens very little to Europe and the United States and often criticizes their actions if they take wrong steps from his point of view or show indecision and inaction.

What "alternative route" do you propose to take for Zelensky? Surrender and capitulate? Have you seen how Russian soldiers behave in the occupied territory in Ukraine? They rob, kill and rape civilians, destroy houses and any civilian infrastructure. And then surrender to the mercy of these bastards? Now the population of Ukraine is categorically against any peace agreements with the Putin regime. Ukrainians win even where the enemy's superiority is fivefold in manpower and equipment. Therefore, Russia will suffer a military defeat in Ukraine. Therefore, the world is now on the verge of very big changes.

Does President Zelensky listen to NATO little? That's funny! Yes, he did not offer a single solution on his own! I think he humiliates all the people of Ukraine when he walks and asks for everything! How can Ukraine be called an independent country if it has nothing! What kind of victory can we talk about if the army surrenders entire cities! How can it be?

Yes, that is exactly what is happening today. They climbed into our wallet, into the refrigerator, into bed. We can't drive our own car, we can't buy our favorite food. Why, for example, should refugees live in my house? Why can't they live with the prime minister? I am a kind person, but there is a limit to everything. If the new virus does not kill us, then our own government will destroy us. It's so hard to imagine that it even seems ridiculous.

I am very shocked the news of the friend. Personally, I lost a little of my money to invest in Luna. There are many people who lost their money to invest in Luna. Most important that you should not invest full of your money. You invest 25% - 50% of your money that is wise decision as I think.

I agree. No need to rush to invest all your money and wait for the result. Regular investments of amounts that will not cause much damage to the wallet will help you lead a normal life. And of course, you should always be ready to lose some amount. This is a cryptocurrency and it has its own laws. If you are interested in this topic, then you probably know everything without me.
4  Economy / Economics / Re: Irrelevance of Education in Nigeria. on: July 01, 2022, 06:23:59 PM
I teach in a rural school where the presence of government doesn't exist. No electricity, pipe borne water, infrastructures, and increase of salary. My students practically sit on the floor due to lack of chairs. Almost all the parents of my students are subsistence farmers that cannot afford to feed their families. Most of these student have never seen or touched a computer or a smart phone in there entire life. But the truth is that some of them are extraordinarily brilliant. I have always advised them that immediately they finish their secondary school education they should learn a vocational or technical skill. Learning skills like fashion design, automobile mechanic,furniture making, plumbing, or even business can help them to earn a living and some can further their education because their parents cannot afford the cost of university education. I been in that rural school for about 7 years now and I can attest to the fact that most of them today are now financially independent. Some of them have their own workshops, businesses and some are sponsoring themselves in the university from their trade. Currently my student are my car mechanic, tailor and barber.

The government is not interested in alleviating the suffering of the masses or improving the educational system. Rather everyday they enrich themselves and send their children to the best school abroad. They want there children to take their positions and keep enslaving the people. Any citizen that depends on the government of my country would be frustrated and might commit suicide due to depression.          

You are a good person if you give children such kind advice. They will be useful to them in life and help them survive. We cannot change our country overnight. But we can do everything for her that depends on us. Already now you are giving useful knowledge to children and perhaps in the future they will be able to influence the situation in the country. If each person contributes to the development of the country, the result will be good.
5  Economy / Economics / Re: Uganda’s gold discovery: What it could mean for crypto !!! on: July 01, 2022, 06:11:53 PM
For Uganda, this is a great success! If gold is further mined from new deposits in this country, then these revenues may exceed revenues from the exploitation of oil fields. And this is very, very good money! How this may affect the price of bitcoin, I do not know. And I am very happy for Uganda! African countries deserve good living conditions. Uganda's mining industry needs support now.
6  Economy / Economics / Re: Irrelevance of Education in Nigeria. on: June 30, 2022, 08:46:59 PM
I think that Nigeria is now of interest to world politics. A country with 216 million people is the undisputed leader of the countries of the African continent. And I will not be surprised if I find out that for the location of this country some countries will fight to win over to their side. In this case, big money from foreign partners will go to Nigeria and they will help support the economy. And this is the emergence of new jobs for people, education, trade, turnover of goods. I think that in today's global crisis, Nigeria will be able to find a lot of good.
7  Economy / Economics / Re: Solar panels set to be mandatory on all new buildings under EU plan on: June 30, 2022, 08:24:40 PM
Doesn't it seem strange to you that solar panels are being talked about right now? At the time when today's conflict between the USA and Russia takes place? Last year, everyone was calmly ill with covid and everyone was an excellent virologist. This year, all the people around suddenly became international economists. Last year, everyone was fine and quiet in the queue for gas to Russia, and this suited everyone. Doesn't it feel like we're being manipulated? And what will happen tomorrow? What is the new topic of discussion?
8  Economy / Economics / Re: USA dollar and USA economy are Not Same on: June 29, 2022, 07:46:25 PM
The dollar is in the same condition as Biden. The refusal of many states from settlements in dollars will weaken this currency. For example, settlements between China and Saudi Arabia will take place in yuan. We all remember that the petrodollar is the standard on which the strength of the US dollar is based. And what do we see now? New payment systems are emerging as an alternative SWIFT. Well, I don’t know, I don’t know.... it seems the facts are obvious
9  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoiners are protecting, while EU nations are destroying the environment on: June 29, 2022, 07:32:18 PM
In all fairness, it's not as if this regressive step of turning back to the use of coal is something they want to do. Many of them have long been on the road to reduce, if not totally eradicate, the use of coal. But it seems they're left with no choice, at least for now.

To me, however, this is the right thing to do, the lesser evil, because the other option is to tolerate Putin's madness and desire to wreak violence and death on an independent nation and a peaceful people.

I believe this regression is merely an emergency step.

Do you really think that Putin is now sitting and crying that Europe wants to give up Russian gas? Russia is currently establishing a sales market in the eastern and southern countries. sales there will be much more than in Europe. The problems of Europe concern only the people living in it. And you can tell that you heat the stove with wood for any reason. Fact is fact. European countries are sliding into the abyss at a rapid pace and unfortunately this phenomenon is not temporary.
10  Economy / Economics / Re: Solar panels set to be mandatory on all new buildings under EU plan on: June 29, 2022, 07:20:54 PM
You guys are missing the bigger picture. Solar panels have the variable cause the dependent on the sun lit in its way to provide power. This makes it become tricky to make it an energy source for stable 24/7/365 day, all season in EU country. The movement or green deal behind it quite not close to what it stood since waste from the battery, from the used panels, from maintaining upkeep doesn't worth what it can give back. I rather have EU haste its plan to renew and build the new nuclear plants.

Yes, that would be much better than solar panels. But this will take many years, maybe decades. Solar panels can provide electricity today. Indeed, maintenance and repair will require a lot of costs and not everyone will benefit from it. In addition, in this way it will be possible to support manufacturers of solar panels. They also need income. Especially if they are produced in their own country.
It is interesting how things are playing out, due to the disaster at the nuclear plant of Fukushima of 2011 there was a very strong movement against nuclear energy all around the world, which lead to the suspension of the construction or the closure of nuclear plants, if politicians had not gotten fearful of nuclear energy back then Europe will not be anywhere as dependent on Russian gas and oil, so European governments are forced to take a suboptimal decision which will cost more money and will not be as effective, increasing the price of energy all over Europe just when we are going through a period of high inflation.

Europe has no other choice. It is not and will not be in the future! What is left to do to keep warm? Fire wood stove? Solar panels are still a modern form of electricity generation. This year they will be in great demand in Europe. Nuclear power plants are dangerous and if this option is considered, safety measures must be taken. What can be done here? Do not engage in nonsense and buy gas from Russia)

12  Economy / Economics / Re: How Will Investing Help the Economy of a Country on: June 27, 2022, 06:03:00 PM
No matter what kind of investment we do, we still help the country. Especially if we pay taxes. By increasing our financial condition, we improve the standard of living in our country. If at the same time we invest our money in the shares of enterprises, then in this way we support the economy. Thus, we do three good things at once. We provide for ourselves, our loved ones and children, we invest in the development of our country.
13  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoiners are protecting, while EU nations are destroying the environment on: June 25, 2022, 07:24:35 PM
Recently European Commission Chief Ursula von der Leyen raised an alarm that because of Russia’s war in Ukraine most European nation are reverting to using coal for power generation. He retreated that instead of investments in gas infrastructure, renewables or other alternatives, the extension of coal mining is considered the quickest and most viable solution for these European countries. We all understand that these EU nations need alternative source of power but the truth is that they are destroying the environment they claim to love dearly.
 
If it was Bitcoin operations, the entire so-called environmentalist would raise alarm and propose the ban of mining. This year Erik Thedéen , the vice chairman of the European Securities and Markets Authority mentioned that bitcoin mining was doing harm to the environment and was setting back efforts to combat climate change. He further suggested outright ban of all forms of bitcoin mining that uses up an excessive amount of energy because it poses a threat to the continent’s climate goals. Crypto critics would quickly publicize  the claim that cryptocurrencies was now consuming more electricity than Argentina , New York or Belgium. Now all of them are silent that instead of investing in other green energy source, Europe is destroying Mother Earth with coal. Where is Bill Gate, Fahad Kamal, Nouriel Roubin, Elon Musk and other environmental champions? They are all silent.

But cryptocurrency mining industry has embarked on a rebranding effort to challenge the prevailing view that its electricity-guzzling computers are harmful to the climate. All five of the largest publicly traded crypto mining companies say they are building or already operating plants powered by renewable energy, and industry executives have started arguing that demand from crypto miners will create opportunities for wind and solar companies to open facilities of their own. According to the Bitcoin Mining Council , the worldwide Bitcoin mining sector is being powered by an estimated 58.5 per cent renewable energy by the fourth quarter of 2021.  Its now very clear that Bitcoiners are now more environmntal friendly than EU.

Politics is all there is at the international globe and  EU is not exempted from that. It's a great thing to know that cryptocurrency miners are doing all their best to create a mining system that is environmental friendly , that alone would to an extent shut the voice of Bitcoin critics at the end of the day when the plan is actualized to it's full potential.

The countries that have diverted to the use of coal for electricity production are also members of the EU and as such it's not surprising that no alarm has been made on the act, such actions could only discourage other countries struggling to develop renewal energy resources to drag feet.


This is true. At a time when some countries are taking measures to save the environment, Europe is starting to heat the stove with coal. Wonderful! What can happen next? Start hunting for wild animals? Until countries come to a consensus on the environment and settle political conflicts, there is no need to talk about any environmental protection.
14  Economy / Economics / Re: Where should I invest? on: June 25, 2022, 07:06:24 PM
Investment is always a risk. We risk losing money, we risk losing income. And it doesn't always depend on our own actions. It is important to correctly assess the risks that exist so that there is no disappointment. Cryptocurrency has a very high risk of losing value. But the income can also be good. If you want stability, invest in stocks and coins. If you want to make good money, invest in cryptocurrency, but be prepared not to receive income
15  Economy / Economics / Re: What is the golden rule of investment? on: June 23, 2022, 06:26:25 PM
For me the golden rule of investing is knowledge of the subject. If I don’t know something, then I definitely won’t invest anything there. Knowledge is acquired through trial and error. I think that we can all give advice, but everyone should draw conclusions for himself. For one person this rule works, for another it doesn't. And it's very interesting to read, you can learn a lot of new things Wink
16  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it possible that all cryptocurrency will become regulated? on: June 23, 2022, 06:15:08 PM
I think it's possible. But is there a need for this? We all understand that the money from taxes can be directed to the development of the country. But won't it cause the opposite reaction? Cryptocurrency legalization may provoke an increase in cryptocurrency crimes and hacker attacks on wallets. Of course it can happen now, but with an increase in interest in cryptocurrency, new processes in the criminal environment will begin to work. But that's just my guess.

The legalization of crypto will certainly increase interest and crypto will quickly become more popular. But this does not mean that there will be an increase in crime in the crypto industry, once legalized and regulated by regulations, scammers and hackers will be more closely monitored by the government.

Currently, many countries do not consider bitcoin to be legal, so criminals who have taken advantage of that loophole can blatantly create scam projects to profit without harm.

I believe that the future belongs to the cryptocurrency. But for this we need to do a lot of work. A strong mechanism for control, supervision and regulation of the cryptocurrency market must be created. We must be protected not only from hackers, but also from additional government payments. The legalization of cryptocurrency is a matter of time.
17  Economy / Economics / Re: Strong russia and china narrative vs weak usa but the thing is on: June 23, 2022, 06:04:30 PM
Russia and China are powerful countries. Russia is developing its economy thanks to sanctions, China supports it in this. India joined this alliance and I think these powerful powers have every chance to bypass the USA. Negotiations are currently underway to switch trade completely from dollars to rupees. This is a big breakthrough and support for the economies of these countries. Now new centers of power are emerging and this must be taken into account. These countries have large territories, a large population, a powerful army, and high technology. There is something to think about...
18  Economy / Economics / Re: Covid omicron version 2.0 monkeypox coming and markets on: June 22, 2022, 06:23:00 PM

In addition, this crisis if ever it will be spread in different areas does not really guarantee a stimulus in the market trend. What's the most likely reason to be a catalyst is the inflation that's becoming more and more evident and felt in various places.
The only thing I feel like mentioning on this forum is - - there is so much trouble and inflation the whole is experiencing after COVID and Russian war that world is not ready for another challenge. People around the globe are tired and upset of all the mess being created. May Lord protect us all - Ameen

We thought Covid was the world's biggest problem. Today we don't think so. It's scary to imagine what the future holds for us. Crisis in many countries, wars, famine and cold in the near future, now it's a monkey disease added. People have done a lot of bad deeds and now they are being punished, how to explain all this? I hope we can draw the right conclusions for ourselves...
19  Economy / Economics / Re: Russian Gas ban - A problem for Europe or suicide for Russia? on: June 22, 2022, 06:10:11 PM
What friends can be in politics? Are you joking? In politics, everyone is looking for their own interests and their own benefit. There can be no friends. There may be a business relationship. The crisis is indeed temporary, but its consequences will greatly change the global economy. Each country sees its weak points. And I hope countries will find a way out of this crisis soon.
The crisis will end soon, but things won't get better. People will get used to it.
I believe the same as well every country should focus on their problems and get rid of them rather than involving in other country problems.

Yes, I also think that it is not good to involve many countries in a alien conflict. Each country should focus on its own problems, each country has many of these problems. We will suffer from the wrong decisions of leaders. Why should I rarely bathe or heat the stove in my house? Why can't I turn on the air conditioner in hot weather? Why does someone decide these questions for me?
20  Economy / Economics / Re: Who will Replace Russian Gas Supplies to Europe? on: June 22, 2022, 06:01:26 PM

I strongly disagree. It is just that US weapons have been grossly useless and it has been proven many times. For example when Yemenese attacked these Arabs none of the defenses that US had sold them worked. You are saying that the Arabs don't know how to use them but what about when the same people attacked US bases in Saudi Arabia and the same weapons operated by US military personnel protecting US military personnel also didn't work at all?
Today I was watching a documentary how US has toppled 100 governments in the world and how for their benefits they have changed and destroyed the countries.
Russia maybe wrong in attacking Ukraine. But Russia cannot be defeated. Europe has to go back to Russia for the oil and gas - for sure.

This is what will happen in the near future. No one can replace gas and oil from Russia, and we must be prepared for this. Now there are global changes in the world and they will continue for many more years. But we all know which country has what and what it produces. And our desires to change this fact are useless. After a while, peace will come and everything will return to its place.
