Always try to do your own research, even if you see some good opinions on specific coin in the forums like this one.

I think a good idea is to start with the basics, try to learn as much as you can about crypto world in general before investing: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ794-ev8UM73wdWAtX6H588QJnuuV6yq

Take your time, do your research and create your strategy before investing money into it. If you're thinking about safe long-term, coins, with high market cap like Bitcoin and Ethereum seems to be the most reliable options.

Sanctions are not a complete game-changer when it comes to crypto adoption in Russia.

If your average Russian starts using crypto, this will devalue the ruble even more - that, in turn, would weaken Russia’s power. The Russian government will never allow their own currency to lose value, in exchange for non-government-specific one. Every time Russians exchange their rubles for Bitcoins, the Bitcoin price will grow, because the demand will affect the market, and the ruble will crash further.

In addition, the Russian government issued new laws that limit Russian citizens from sending, receiving, and transacting with any foreign currency. Russian citizens must convert 80% of the total sum into rubles in three days, or risk getting fined. So, even if you reside in Russia, and trade your cryptocurrencies into USD or EUR, you will need to switch it to rubles, therefore mass adoption ir practically impossible. Less than 0,3% of the total global net worth is currently in crypto. Let’s transfer this to Russia - even if 0,3% of Russians hold a lot of cryptocurrencies, that’s still a very small number. In circumstances like these, sudden and unexpected mass adoption within the country is simply impossible.

Crypto is just too small to make a real difference for them!

This video explains the situation pretty well:

Rest of Brazil will follow? Or do you think this will be unique just to Rio de Janeiro?

You are in the right place. However, always try to do your own research, even if you see some good opinions on specific coin in the forums like this one.

Fear of Missing out might force you to hurry and do some uncalculated decisions based on emotion and not logic. Take your time, do your research and create your strategy before investing money into it.

Short and informative.

It was crazy to wrap my head around the idea that public tweet can become an NFT as well (and very expensive one).

I learned that from this video: https://youtu.be/YL0-sEzDDNI

I was never really into NFTs but it's hard to ignore how big and valuable some of the NFTs are.

I think YouTube might be a good source of information for beginners BEFORE investing. Just learning about cryptocurrency in general, basic topics like what is blockchain, liquidity pools, PoS vs PoW etc. But they shouldn't completely trust a single Youtuber as their investment guide as mentioned by many above.

Covid is not over, it's just less deadly (meaning most common Omicron variant), therefore causing less panic and media coverage. Also war is newer, there are a lot to discuss still, sanctions, political discussions, surrender terms, etc. If that war lasts over a year and goes into the stalemate it will probably get less attention as well. People will get bored of anything eventually.

How was it? was it good? I saw it trending on netflix

My favourite strategies:

Heroes of might and magic 3
Medieval 2 total war

These are a bit old, so if you hate older graphics you can check out newer installations of those games.

Also I liked csgo and Elder scrolls: Skyrim and older installations of elder scrolls

Currently, I don't have a lot of time to play, but I would definitely still enjoy playing those.

Share your favourite crypto-related memes. A small break from serious topics to relax your mind.

For me 100% of strangers dm'ing me something crypto-related are scammers. This is definitely not true, but I feel like this is correct mindset to have.

Lavrov sounds even more insane than Putin.

But wouldn't legalization of cryptocurrencies drastically increase the volume?

Also, support from China might be rather questionable, it seems that China is still indecisive and remains rather neutral. I think they are yet to choose between the two parties. China probably did not such heavy sanctions inflicted on the Russian side.

It won't rule the world. It's short lifespan pump & dump kind of deal. Unless you have a famous person behind it, then it might survive for a while with them creating the hype around it.

That sounds a bit too optimistic. Wars lasts for years, how they couldn't have resources for two weeks? They started this war and don't think they might be THAT incompetent.

The Batman. Characters are a bit less cartoonish and feels more real. Not sure if I enjoyed Batman or Dark Knight rises, I am not really into marvel/dc superhero movies, but I enjoyed both.

As a crypto newbie myself I can say that some of these thumbnails or some of the content (see MMCrpyto) just look like scams to me, I would never think that it's a credible info source.
What might hurt me more is "fear of missing out" - when your friends talk about how much they made from a specific coin last week and you just buy it before it's not too late, without analysing anything. You buy it on its peak price and then suffer some losses.

haven't seen this amount of insanity for a long time. "if you against putin you are on the side of tyrant fascists?" what is putin then? He arrests kids... FUCKING KIDS... for protesting against war, if that is not tyrant idk what is.
Nazi, fascists, tyrants ... you seem to throw these words around without knowing its meaning.  "what makes this so insanely bloody is the fact that the ukranian president is a jew" how this fact is bloody. Also, where does that antisemitism come from?
Have you been brainwashed by russian media? or maybe I don't know something?

It doesn't seem to end anytime soon. Russian requests for Ukraine are borderline insane and there is no point for Ukraine to surrender before they are beaten at this point. And Russia, even with suffering lots of casualties will not back down, that would show Russia as weak and would hurt Russian and especially Putin's pride.

How is having failing currency, being isolated by the rest of the world, losing many lives in a war against smaller nation without getting any success is doing something right?
