there is an internal conflict taking place in the west where germany , uk and france went rouge and decided to continue the ukrainian conflict without USA

this means there is no need to wait for 4 years as trump is not able to speak for the west but only for the USA which is not enough to end the war

One thing Should end the war-Money,when both sides run out of money

I have a little bitcoin and eth, nothing much though.
Are there any coins outside of the main ones that make any sense? These memecoins just seem stupid to me.

There are some projects that actually have utility and proven themselves overtime. Some are controversial but still hold on. The big price push couple months ago for XRP & XLM was after the SEC easing on the lawsuit over XRP and the talks about those type of chains to be adopted for SWIFT. And thats just couple.

No,I have no intention of acquiring cryptos,but I am surprised it lasts so long and so well,so keeping an eye on it,and trying to figure how it relates to other assets like gold,stocks,bonds.
It looks like ,just my own personal opinion,all the good things about Bitcoin has run its course (for the time being),people are so pessimistic with war,inflation,tariffs,loss of jobs,self esteem,that they have lost interest in just about everything but fill their stomach and pay their bills.
Dollar stores are not doing well,neither are Kohl,Macy,Irobotics,Johann,Foot locker,Nike?
I used to see AMZN Blue Care vans several times /day on my street,now I see one every few days?
I have been shopping at our local supermarket since the day it opened ,I have never seen so many markdown of meat,fish,bread,candy,cake close to expiration,and so many people using coupons (including myself)

bitcoin is highly inflated because it is popular , there are other cryptos that are superior to it in all areas except popularity and size of fund flows

All other cryptos are registered businesses though.
Bitcoin doesnt have a CEO.

[murdered_by_ebay]

I do not understand what you mean , the likes of litecoin or tron can not be frozen on the blockchain level without wide consensus , just like bitcoin

what can be frozen are derivative products , like for example USDT on TRON , that can be frozen even in cold wallets

and wide consensus would be a problem , changing things without it would destroy the token as it is impossible to do it secretly

I think you have to clarify what you mean by SUPERIOR?

true point about the media push...

[murdered_by_ebay]

superior is fast paymentS that get credited within a few seconds and low fees , close to zero fees

the problem with bitcoin is that it is bad as payment methods , transactions take about 20-40min to clear , fees may be high like the example with crypto.com where the exchange rate is very good but each BTC withdrawal costs about 38-39 USD

All the platforms trying to make bank on user fees and exchange rate - really kills on the low end transactions

Not really fishy I'd say - just people being influenced by media and return to some "physical staples of old" such as gold for some sense of stability...one approach

Nice little run up this month - congrats to those who profited

thread focusing on crypto though - just clarifying

[agent006140]

crypto is often referred to as liquid gold,so it is worth comparing the two.
I track Bitcoin trying to understand why it moves up or down,now I give up trying .
Now they are trashing gold but Bitcoin is up?

[murdered_by_ebay]

crypto is not liquid gold as a separate coin like bitcoin but it is in its entirety because unlike gold crypto can be held securely without anyone being able to seize it or without being able to find out it even exists if certain steps are taken and it can be moved worldwide within seconds

[agent006140]

US treasury has some Bitcoins,where do you think it gets them if it cannot be seized.
