Cryptocurrency discussions / Re: Putin's Ukraine Invasion: Effect on Cryptocurrency?

« on: December 04, 2022, 11:55:41 AM »

War has a negative impact on all spheres of human activity, including the environment. Every day, the parties are now firing more than 50,000 shells that destroy everything material and saturate the soil with heavy metals, which can then significantly complicate agriculture. Because of the war, the quality of life is deteriorating in almost all countries, which means that people have fewer opportunities to invest in cryptocurrency.

The war will tentatively end in the spring-summer of next year with the victory of Ukraine. Yesterday, Putin was informed about the irretrievable loss of Russian troops, which amount to more than 126,000 people. Russia has lost almost the entire regular army in Ukraine, which invaded in February and is not helped even by the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of poorly trained and poorly equipped citizens since September. Recently, under pressure from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the invaders retreated from the right-bank part of the Dnieper in southern Ukraine and are now preparing to retreat to the Crimean peninsula, where they will find themselves in a mousetrap if the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroy the previously damaged Crimean bridge.

Russia seems to have announced that it will use cryptocurrency in terms of payments for certain resources, someone wrote about it. Now we need to think about whether they will ban the use of bitcoin while martial law is in effect.
you are right, whereas previously there was a ban in July that Russia does not accept crypto as legal tender by making regulations. but due to the protracted war situation and the embargo from European countries, a change in attitude finally had to be made by accepting crypto for payment for energy resources, although of course by complying with KYC rules.

Although Russia's war in Ukraine is now in its tenth month, so far I have not seen any information that Russia is using cryptocurrency to circumvent international sanctions when selling its oil and gas, or in any other trade. Now Russia supplies about 40 percent of its energy to China and there is no need to use cryptocurrency in this. Russia holds part of its financial assets in yuan, and given the negative attitude of the Chinese government towards cryptocurrency, settlements in yuan are still the most likely. The situation is the same with other countries.
Moreover, in this situation, the problem is not in payment, but in the hidden supply of oil and gas.

How is this possible if the news shows a different situation that most people go to rallies against the war in Ukraine. Where did you get such figures that 70% of Russian citizens support the war in Ukraine.

I don’t know what kind of news you are watching, but in reality in Russia only a few are openly protesting against the war on the streets. At the same time, their protests last no more than a minute, because the police immediately take them away. During the detention, these protesting citizens do not offer any resistance, and passers-by pass by indifferently.

Before the military invasion of Ukraine, the Putin regime worked hard and zombified the people so much that they really believed that the Ukrainians were hostile to the Russians and wanted to attack them first. Therefore, Putin claims that the attack on Ukraine was a preventive and necessary measure. But these are the problems of the Russians themselves and the Ukrainians, who are under rocket fire every day, this does not make it any easier.

Therefore, the figure of 70 percent supporting the war in Ukraine was more or less real. Now, after mobilization was announced in Russia due to the fact that the contract Russian invasion army was defeated in Ukraine, and the Russians felt that they themselves would need to go to this war, their belligerent mood has noticeably diminished.

Cryptocurrency discussions / Re: How to earn a profit from Ethereum as its transaction fees have become expensive

For me, Ethereum is an asset it should be held like a fixed deposit in the bank. If you see the Ethereum gas fee it's never been high and same it keeps changing so one must keep an eye on it if one wants to make a transaction but Vitalik should do something to reduce the gas fees. No doubt miners are making huge money. Because of high transaction fees we see a huge gain in transactions in the BNB, Polygon, and TRC where the gas fee is very minimal and a small trader can easily manage.

In my opinion, the problem of expensive transactions on the ethereum network no longer exists. Right now CoinMarketCap shows 12 gwei per transaction. This figure is more or less stable, but the ethereum upgrade continues and the situation with gas levels and scalability will continue to improve. So far, we have not seen much growth in the price of ethereum, since the cryptocurrency market is under the influence of the ongoing crypto winter. But in the future, the popularity of ethereum will continue to grow, as will the price of this coin.

Bitcoin Forum / Re: Russia says it will accept Bitcoin for its oil and gas exports

« on: December 02, 2022, 04:21:48 PM »

The fact that Russia may start accepting bitcoin or another cryptocurrency was expressed by some officials after Russia's military invasion of Ukraine and the imposition of tough international sanctions, including on Russian oil and gas. However, immediately after that, the Central Bank of Russia issued a refutation of such rumors and after that they stopped.
Here it should be taken into account that Russia's problem lies not only in obtaining money for the supply of its energy carriers, but also in their hidden delivery to customers. And it is impossible to covertly transport large volumes of oil and gas. In any case, Russia will circumvent sanctions covertly, the very fact of settlements using cryptocurrency will be denied, so this information will not be discussed in open sources of information.

Russia will be very open to cryptocurrencies because I am sure that cryptocurrencies in Russia will certainly be able to develop very quickly because almost all technology from Russia must be renewable.
There must have been a lot of stable coins from cryptocurrencies that have been created from Russia but maybe the regulation is an obstacle and this now has to be solved easily so that stable coins in Russia can be widely adopted.

It is necessary to take into account the current realities that are happening in Russia and awaiting this country because of its failed military attack to occupy Ukraine. In my opinion, now Russia is facing more global challenges, the country may be on the eve of collapse and now there is clearly no time for cryptocurrency. Moreover, the crisis in the economy due to military spending and increasing sanctions will push the government to block all possible ways of capital flight from the country.

On November 17, a bill on cryptocurrency mining was submitted to the State Duma, which practically prohibits the circulation of cryptocurrency in the Russian Federation. And this tightening of cryptocurrencies will only continue.

Stable Coins Forum / Re: CBDCs Will Not Kill StableCoins/Cryptos

« on: November 30, 2022, 06:13:50 AM »

Quote from: Bobcrypto on July 24, 2022, 05:12:02 PM

I think that government stable coins, the CBDC may not compete with the decentralized stable coin like USDT, BUSD, USDC, because they are centralized. Crypto stable coin will take the day because many people desired financial freedom and on such situations, very many people may not patronize the government owned stable coins. Government owned CBDC will face several setbacks because it may not be verifiable on a public Blockchain.

It should be borne in mind that for many people, the security of using digital money is more important than the concept of centralization or decentralization. Private and other non-public stablecoins will periodically crash due to various objective and subjective reasons, as we already see. At the same time, behind the CBDC is the power of the state, which goes bankrupt very rarely. Therefore, the CBDC of a strong state, from the point of view of many people, will be much safer to use than the currently existing private and other commercial stablecoins. But how this will play out in practice, we will be able to see when CBDCs will be mass-produced by states.

Cryptocurrency discussions / Re: China Proposes an 'Asian Yuan' to Reduce Dependency on the US Dollar

« on: November 28, 2022, 06:05:17 AM »

China seems to be preparing, if not for war, then for confrontation with the United States. Recently, the Chinese government has been calling on Chinese government and commercial structures to withdraw their capital from other countries, and this may be a way to avoid freezing financial assets during a conflict, as happened with the Russian currency in foreign banks.
At the same time, it has long been predicted that China will create a regional stablecoin, that is, a regional CBDC to serve the Asian market, where China will be given a dominant position. Of course, the goal of such a digital or other currency will be to reduce dependence on the dollar. This is quite natural and logical.

Cryptocurrency discussions / Re: When will the crypto market touch the bottom?

I think that the whole next year will pass under the sign of uncertainty.

Analysts on the charts see the possibility of a market transition into a bullish period and a rise in the price of bitcoin to $110,000. It is noted that a similar situation was in March 2020, when bitcoin then rose to its latest price record. If the forecast is correct, then the cryptocurrency market has already reached the price bottom and soon we will be able to see the transition of the crypto winter into a bullish period. We hope that this will be the case.

This year will also be known as the collapse of crypto market, first TERRA LUNA ruined crypto and after that now FTX ruined crypto market. This is the biggest crash ever seen in the crypto world, which has forced people to think about investing in crypto. If seen from the other side, such situations keep on happening in the crypto market and the market keeps on moving more and more.

I don't think it's all that bad. Crypto projects and exchanges, which previously seemed indestructible, periodically fell and were hacked before. This caused panic and shock only at first. The market was reconfigured and developed further. So it will be this time. The way up will always be winding. There are already certain prerequisites that the end of the crypto winter is close and there will be a good bullish period soon.

« on: November 27, 2022, 12:13:37 PM »

Very encouraging news. Is the current crypto winter coming to an end? I would like to believe that this is so. But the projected price of $110,000 for Bitcoin from its current position of $16,500 seems huge and out of reach. Although bitcoin has given us good price surprises more than once. Well, let's see what he can do this time.

Cryptocurrency discussions / Re: How worthfull altcoins signature?

Quote from: Zezari on November 02, 2022, 01:01:48 PM

Seeing the situation now with projects in which there are very few signatures and the company itself offers very small rewards for this signature. Maybe over time everything will change and projects in which there will be signatures for them will be decently paid.

Now the teams of new projects not only offer a small reward, it is impossible to estimate its size at all, since recently only a certain number of their new tokens have been offered without being tied to a top cryptocurrency or fiat. Therefore, we are forced to participate in signature campaigns, hoping that this will be a promising project for development and the price of its token will grow. But in most cases this does not come true. Of course, it didn't help much before. After all, the price of a new token by his team was set very approximately and often in the direction of an unreasonable increase.

war will always have bad influence on human life.
It's best if this ends soon.
Both were soon reconciled.
Russia and Ukraine should seek a peace agreement , because this will affect the world economy if the world war III really happens.
I think crypto price will dump, really big dump

The beginning of the Third World War is entirely dependent on Russia. It is the Putin regime that is the epicenter of military rhetoric and aggression on this planet. Calls for peace for Putin are still empty space. In addition, he does not spare the population of his country at all and, for the sake of his imperial ambitions, sends all new hordes of his troops into the furnace of the war unleashed by him, that is, on the territory of Ukraine. Only the destruction of this regime will lead to peace. I don't see any other options.

News related to Crypto / Re: IMF calls for tighter crypto regulation in Africa as the industry unfolds

« on: November 26, 2022, 03:41:15 AM »

It was all predictable. If there were no problems with FTX, the IMF would have found another reason to increase regulation of the cryptocurrency. It is noted that the cryptocurrency market is growing most rapidly in Africa, that is, areas with poor people who, in principle, have nothing to do at home and who are looking for an opportunity to make a living with the help of cryptocurrency. Here are the traditional explanations for the need to protect the rights of consumers in this market and the growth of abuse with the help of cryptocurrency. But in any case, there will be regulation of cryptocurrencies by states and this is not news.
