2020 Collapse

@Ipv6Ready, TheFedGuy discusses the inflationary effect that QT may have on assets as banks go looking for a home for their cash. Have a look through his site. We've also discussed it I think in the Inflation thread. @66rounds and I were talking about a Youtube clip about it.

Interestingly the phosphate price increase is impacting other ingredients that were seemingly unrelated. Maltodextrin for example, was the cheapest bulker we had. Now it's premium and needs to be replaced with a starch (the shift to the other ingredients will eventually push those prices up too).

Russia planning to reinstall Yanukovich – Ukrainian media
Ukrainian sources say Putin plans to appoint twice-ousted president a third time

I reckon he will get taken out if he steps foot in the Ukraine again, snuck out last time by helicopter after months of revolution.
He was the one that refused to join the EU.

The Ukraines were adamant they wanted to look to the West, no more Russia.

Someone will sacrifice them self to get him.
Yanukovich is a Putin puppet, being living in exile in Russia.
 
Zoltan Pozsar Warns Russian Sanctions Threaten Dollar's Reserve Status https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/z...ian-sanctions-threaten-dollars-reserve-status

But is that about to change, and did western sanctions against Russia marked the beginning of the end of the dollar as the world's reserve currency?
"The main effect may be declining demand for reserves,"
"Amongst the fallout some countries may see less need to accumulate FX reserves,"
a message has been sent to all countries that they can’t count on these money stashes to actually be theirs in the event of tension.
“most FX reserves that exist in the world today are all forms of inside money, i.e. they are the liabilities of someone."
Someone owes it to you. And these things can be sanctioned.”
“I don't know if it'll come to that, but if things get worse, you could basically re-anchor the ruble to a pile of gold because you need an anchor in situations like this”,

I’ve lost count of how many posts we’ve had about the demise of the USD. It’s verging on spam.

It has good points, I like to hear the views on both sides (I try to be objective when it comes to investment), but up to some point, it's just propaganda or spamming as you say.

you must prove that other points, else is just no understanding...there is no counter arguments or anything
just like the international rule based order, but not acceptable by 2/3 of the world populations
it is not international law, which body confirm that law
sanctions are not legal, is call stealing like Afghan reserved is used to pay victims of Saudi attack, Afghan is not Saudi JOE!
Venezuela reserved can be handed to a nobody Guaido, so long as you recognised other person as the legitimate president lol
double standards all over
but the market did not collapse...
 
US considering sanctions against India
Washington wants New Delhi to denounce Moscow or face US sanctions for buying Russian weapons

Russian Firms Rush To Open Accounts At Chinese Banks

We will wait and see if the US will come after Chinese banks too.:cool:

It will be a pity if ZH is gone, they provided an alternative view until the Putish kicked in.
 
EU agrees crypto measures against Russia
"The unspecified steps to prevent Moscow from dodging sanctions were discussed by the bloc’s finance ministers

European finance ministers will take unspecified measures to prevent Russia from using crypto technologies to dodge the financial sanctions that the EU has imposed against Moscow, France’s Bruno Le Maire announced on Wednesday during a press conference.

“We are taking measures, in particular on crypto currencies or crypto assets which should not be used to circumvent the financial sanctions decided upon by the 27 EU countries,” the French official said after the meeting.

Le Maire said the sanctions have been effective in damaging the Russian financial system, causing a “bank run” and a “paralysis of the Russian Central Bank” by localizing and freezing its assets in European jurisdictions..."

It is not clear how they are going to impose "crypto sanctions" on Russia. How?

Its easy and murky

Easy Stuff
Exchanges in EU could be told no outflows to or from Russian Banks - simple
Exchanges told to stop trades with Exchanges domiciled in Russia - simple
Exchanges told to freeze any wallets they hold as custodian from Russians
Businesses told not to accept Crypto from Russians ie business accepting BTC can decline orders for goods destined to Russia

Murcky
Government Agencies Track movements of blockchain and charge individuals or coprorates

Just the threat will stop law abiding individual and corporates initiating action.

ie No western Oil Tankers are loading oil from Russian ports for International Delivery from fear of getting sanctioned though currently legal
