Russia is about to cut off Ukraine's arms and legs, and the crypto market is volatile

Overnight, Bitcoin went up and down rapidly. After failing to reach 39k during the day, it fell to 37k in the evening, then rebounded rapidly to 39k. After midnight, it began to fall rapidly again, falling to 36k at the lowest. Bitcoin was killing all directions, and the copycats fell one after another. For a time, the mirror in the hall was sad about the white hair, which was black in the morning and turned white in the evening. New ghosts were worried about the grievances and old ghosts cried. Since ancient times, no one has collected the bones.

Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a presidential decree announcing the recognition of the independence of two regions in eastern Ukraine. Ukraine is courting death, and at the instigation of the United States, it stabbed itself in the arms and legs to show its bravery. Now, Russia is watching its performance coldly, and then it wants to remove the arms and legs it stabbed.

Ukraine is at the forefront of geopolitical conflicts and is in a difficult position. The United States urgently needs a geopolitical turmoil in Europe to encourage capital to flow back to the United States, give itself a blood transfusion, and harvest Europe at the same time. Russia will never tolerate NATO's breach of promise and repeated eastward expansion, which puts the gun to its head. Both sides of the contest have their own thoughts, and it is probably not their turn to decide how Ukraine, the chess piece, will move.

It is undoubtedly a tragedy that one cannot decide one's own destiny and can only survive in the international confrontation. When a country prospers, the people suffer; when a country perishes, the people also suffer. But this may be the living status of most other countries besides the five permanent members. Even among the five permanent members, when Australia unilaterally tore up the agreement and turned to the United States to purchase nuclear submarines, didn't France just smile awkwardly and let it go?

Bloody facts have repeatedly told us that the underlying rule of this world is still violence, in the past, present and future. Laying down arms will not bring peace and respect. Believing in the promises and credit of the opponent instead of believing in the gun in one's own hand was the biggest mistake made by the former Soviet Union. When it began to believe the sweet words of Europe and the United States and chose to disintegrate itself, it had violated Marxism and forgotten the earnest teachings that "only material force can fight against material force."

The Soviet Union transformed into Russia, and did not get the bright future it expected, but only lost all the glory it once had. Fortunately, we have the dragon-slaying skills left by our teachers, and we did not fall for the bald eagle's trick when we were most excited. It's not that no one wants to be fooled, but they dare not be fooled.

It can be seen that, let alone individuals who are easily emotional or unable to control their emotions, even a rational country like the former Soviet Union can be impulsive on major issues and make irrational and irreparable mistakes. Therefore, on certain key issues, we cannot trust the decision of one person, or even the self-righteous claims of a group of elites. It is best to turn these lowest-level meta-rules into computer algorithms and codes, which can be run autonomously and automatically by computers without interference or manipulation by anyone, so as to completely eliminate human bias, eliminate agency problems, and prevent anyone from leading the whole group to a path of no return due to his own selfishness.

There was a person who found such a method. He made a working software and opened its source code. After more than ten years of continuous automatic operation, this system has initially proved the feasibility of the idea to people. This system is called "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System". The person who invented this system gave himself a pseudonym called "Satoshi Nakamoto".

Just one year after the collapse of the former Soviet Union, a cryptography group was quietly born. This group is where Satoshi Nakamoto first published the Bitcoin white paper, and is known as the "cypherpunk".
