Even as Russian troops were massing on Ukraine’s borders in January, Sanna Marin, Finland’s prime minister, insisted that it was “very unlikely” her country would join NATO during her time in office. Less than three months and one invasion later, Finland is hurtling towards membership.
Russia will not tolerate hostile US colonies at its borders. Ukraine is the example what will happen to every US vassal that is a threat to Russia. Finland was a very successful country when it was neutral. Now they will be just the next Ukraine... Russia has the right to defend itself and they will do it without any doubt. Russia is leading the world to new more democratic order. This is the end of the US hegemony.
Of course, we are in a dollar/BTC thread, and I am not going to deny that the US has being bullies with the dollar system recently in ways that show desperation, but still the dollar does seem to be amongst the strongest of the fiats currently... even though in recent times the Ruble has been doing pretty well too.. and sure commodities and even actual goods and services are important.. not just the ability of the USG to print money and pay for things...
In 2013, when I first got into bitcoin, I thought that it would be at least 30 years for the downfall of the dollar - but a lot of recent events show that it could downfall much quicker.. but still, we could not really expect the dollar dominance to collapse in less than 10 years can we?
Aren't the other fiats going to fail first?
Which fiats are going to be the last standing? Bitcoin will be standing too, right?
What does the world look like from a becoin perspective in 5 years? 10 years? 20 years? what are the various monies at that time? Does the dollar, ruble and maybe the china yuan still exist? Euro or something else? We're not going back to barter are we?
Life of a crypto enthusiast
!
Are you in the right thread?
I believe that we do not have any "crypto enthusiasts" here, except maybe one or two (should I name them?.. one of them begs for dee bitcoins while saying that dee bitcoins are not be wurt nuttin... hahahahaha)... ..
Anyway, there are likely a considerable number of us that don't even know what the fuck a "crypto enthusiast" is, so in that regard, it would be hard to know if we were to know what we were looking at, if we were to happen to see such a amorphous thingie. ..
It surely does seem like a "crypto enthusiast" would be a slappable thing, if any of us were to happen to come across seeing one.. first thing would be to slap first (or maybe the pipe treatment?), and then ask questions later.

Did you just use Russia and Democratic in one sentence?
And referring to a Ukrainian invasion as "defense" is insane...
New more democratic order.... you mean absolute dictatorship ....
becoin does not really like western ideas.. and he is not totally wrong.. but he comes at matters a bit hard-balledly stubborn and frequently with quite a few absolutes contained therein... which makes it is wee bit tougher to get any back and forth with that there cat... I.e... he likely never did read the book "fifty shades of grey" not that it is any kind of recommendable, anyhow... I haven't read it either.. so maybe going by the title is not a good thing for me to attempt with out sounding like an SJW.. and would not want to be one of those, right?.. not as a bitcoiner, anyhow.. hahahahaha.. not that there should be any "proper" bitcoiner anyway.
