I've seen many analysis call this bull market more like 2017 rather than 2021, too. A Steem of 2017/2018 explosion is indeed possible. The increased liquidity and the derivatives giving degens more

If history is any guide, that valuation will be very short-lived.

The problem with conspiracy theories is that sometimes they turn out to be true. Very seldom. Conspiracy theories are extremely rarely based on valid information. Conspiracy theories address our emotional

The biggest problem while this fast change is happening is the lack of media literacy. There's an overwhelming amount of information available and it turns out it's faster by orders of magnitude to fill

I believe that if this bull market is going to be a normal bull market, $HIVE will peak out in a range between $3 to $8. There's development on Hive that may spark some interest (check out @vsc.network)

The supply of Bitcoin continues to increase until 2140. That's a fact. The moment when Bitcoin stops being inflationary is over a century from now. The annual growth rate of the supply of Hive will diminish

Ok. Let's see the math.

No, it's not a valid point. Both Bitcoin and Hive have inflating supply.

Bitcoin and Hive are both inflationary: the supplies of both increase with time.

I believe Bitcoin will reach maybe $150k-$200k in this cycle. But who knows, it could go higher depending on what kind institutions start buying it. Hive peaked at $3.4 in the last cycle. I'd say $4-$8

There is no peace with Russia because Russia can't tolerate Ukraine choosing its own destiny. The West could stop supporting Ukraine and let Russia eventually crush it, turn it into rubble, allow Russia

Russia is certainly not the only bad actor in history. However, I'm interested in the here and now because everything we're talking about is much more concrete to me than to those across the pond. Abstract

The CBDC or the whole thing? Strong centralization of power under all all-mighty Czar is an old tradition in Russian society. I think the reason why Russians value strong and even cruel autocrats is how

Adopting a CBDC would be yet another tool in the Ru govt toolbox to keep control and the stealth mobilization going without causing too much unrest.

Surrounding Russia with NATO allies was also illegal, immoral, and would obviously lead to this outcome, which is what they wanted because now the military industrial complex profits hugely as they siphon

Crypto is far from the most important thing in the world. It's a thing for sure and lots of young people have dabbled in it. But it's not going to make or break anybody's political career.

I used to be surprised by many people in crypto supporting authoritarians until I realized a lot of people in crypto have no principles whatsoever and are motivated by absolutely nothing but short-sighted

Sure it seems genuine. All else is cheap talk except the parts that I wish were true. LOL

Let's give autocrats free reign in Europe, Asia and Africa. Let the world burn if it's good for crypto. So what if nukes will eventually fly? Mutant pigeons can relay hashes computed by hand from manual

Who cares? The main thing is that the number go up.
