the folks at N. Korea don't want to put up with such sanctions. but when you have a government that can make you disappear and a system that supports such government... you will have to put up.

sanction did not make Iran, North Korea, Russia change

Just because punishment won't change some leaders doesn't mean punishment should be withdrawn, unless you have a better alternative

Sanction is the only alternative to war with a stronghead opposition that refuses diplomacy

Eventually those societies crumble or their best brains leave

Sanctions killed Soviet Union. You can't get more empirical evidence than that, and it has certainly slowed down nuke advancements in Iran

Another mad L1 token that will perform well this year

Cellframe is criminally undervalued

Mainnet launch is tomorrow

DYOR

Looks interesting. Thanks. I've aped a small bag although the buy the rumour, sell the news may have already happened, I'll hold and see where it goes.

Babalakin:
is ATA on kucoin?

Not sure. It's on Binance

The real lab rat proving how low risk the vaccine is

Mexico kick this nigga out. Wahala everywhere

I'm buying a very small bag of GMT here Incase it continues a 3rd wave. I know it's double touch of a bottom hence the size of the bag is small for risk management. Reasons for 3rd wave could be because it is still 1/3rd of Axie marketcap

Binance is manipulating a lot of MVBIII coins they hold stake in presently such as BSW, BICO and BNX

They just invested in ATA so I threw a small long term bag there

Also threw a small bag in Revomon, a virtual reality game which my guy Bunsenbun has been hyping for like 8 months but which wasn't getting any players due to high technology barriers to entry. Anyway, it made MVBIV list so I threw a small bag.

we can also say that Putin has decreed to be paid in roubles Europe gas needs are 40 percent from russia,
. the rouble value has risen, how u explain that?

Gazprom is already mandated by law to convert 80% of it's receipts to Rouble so that decree was just to get the money into Russian bank where it cannot be seized and to protect Gazprom from sanctions

A country can prop up it's currency for a short while by buying it, but cannot do so forever without good conditions in place

CSTRR:
I heard that too.

But they just realised a memo on how they will invest in Chelsea.

Infact, I don't even know what is best again.
I'm tired.

And the vultures are circling waiting to poach our players and coach.

Talk is cheap bro. All those sound like stories. Their fans in America are complaining

Chris Rock should have enough material for the rest of his career. Probably why baba no want sue Will Smith so he can get freedom to yarn.

CSTRR:
All these Chelsea fans need to calm the fucckk down.

The ricketts bid to me is the best. They have serious people behind them.

Forget all these emotional BS and get behind the bid.

This tom boehly is doing me like a con man.

But I heard their American team is struggling and they sold off all their best players. By their fruits we shall know them

GloriousGbola:
Naaa. TSMC is light years ahead of anyone else in the game.

The goal is thinner and thinner transistors.

TSMC is currently at 5nm. Intel who have their own foundries are still behind at 10nm

The thinner you get the more energy efficient.

This is also why in the last 2-3 years AMD has been kicking intels arse in raw cpu performance.
Amd .outsources foundry to TSMC, while Intel has been doing their chip foundry in-house

Those apple m1 chips are also based off their process.

TSMC is a very very big deal

Add that to the global semi conductor shortage which is affecting everything that has a chip in it -
If China were to sieze control of Taiwan and hence TSMC, they could disrupt supply of cars, pcs, phones, electronics etal

Thanks. It's sure that the Taiwanese will share such technology with Yankee before falling to their enemy

Kay005:
You don get small bag there??

No, I no dey do shitcoins for now. Na $60k BTC go make me enter shïtcoins

basilico:
The device you used to reply has some chip inside it. Most likely made in Taiwan. You can have a mineral like diamonds but have no knowledge of processing to market it.

If the South Koreans have knowledge, the Americans do

Porters diamond - Countries focus on their competitive advantage, doesn't mean they don't know how to do another thing if need be. Infact, the semiconductor sector is what the Americans would have carved out for the Koreans and Taiwanese as the sector their ally can eat from

Tyche:
There's a strong support at 2.3 area. If it touches and loses that area, the next support is 1.8 area. I missed the drop in real time.

I should have listened to you because $2.30 was the previous high and I knew it but I lazily left my buy order at $2.05 instead of rebasing to $2.30. I guess you got back in?

shedyman:
I bought wiki cat on pancake swap for $13 and currently worth $900. Mad gains and plenty of upside to go. Market cap is just about $70k.

You are a whale with over 1% of tokens at that marketcap. If you dump, you go wreck us. My advice, take half your money out in case of rug.

jedisco:
Closely following the breakout gang....

I haven't traded NEAR but as Ibime noted, this wants ATH... if it hits, I'd target a retrace at 15usd to ride into price discovery...

I no dey like resistance

I will sell at $19 and join you in seeking reentry at 15

basilico:
"So TSMC, if you just have a look at market share, I believe manufactures around 50% of all semiconductors in the world. And I think that still understates how important it is, because these are some of the most advanced chips out there," said Wang.

Semiconductor designers and manufacturers are on a quest to make chips smaller and better. Currently, TSMC and its South Korean rival Samsung are the only foundries capable of manufacturing the most advanced 5-nanometer chips.

China is the global manufacturing hub, They consider Taiwan as part of their territory. If they capture Taiwan they will control 50 percent of world semiconductor market. What makes you think they wont . Now that its apparent America will do nothing if they move to the invasion phase

China if you didn't know want to control the world. They are unscrupulous and will use shortcuts outright or bribery to achieve this.
The Renminbi they want to make it the global trading currency,

The west in its morality quest thinks everyone plays fair. Chinese dont

Semiconductors are made from Silicon, Germanium, Cobalt. Taiwan has no monopoly over those materials so it's just a case of producing elsewhere.

Buliwyf:
Both sides are bluffing. They need each other. At least for now. And then they will gradually decouple from eachother.

Putin miscalculated.

Except Putin is the only one who will not want to decouple

You are right, serious miscalculation

Uprightness100:
A Friend in the United States sent me this today and I totally agree with it.

Regardless of what you think about Putin’s morals or ethics, he is a genius strategist whose intellect is vastly superior to Joe Biden’s. Putin latest move threatens the very future of the dollar (fiat) currency and may spell the beginning of the end for the dollar.

Beginning this Friday, Russia will only accept roubles, gold or bitcoin as payment for energy exports to “unfriendly” countries. No dollars or euros will be accepted. And why should Putin accept dollars or euros anyway, given that the western financial system has told Putin he can no longer use dollars or euros to purchase anything.

As a result, Putin is demanding roubles, gold or bitcoin. And that means the Russian rouble is now backed by commodities exports, making it a currency backed by something real. If you buy roubles, in other words, you can trade those roubles for natural gas or oil.

Putin blasted the “theft” of Moscow’s resources and mocked the notion that first-world currency reserve holders are “reliable.”

Russia has just made some moves that are going to change the global financial system forever.

When the conflict in Ukraine originally erupted, the U.S. immediately attempted to crash the value of Russia’s currency. Those attempts were successful for a few days, but now the value of the rouble relative to the U.S. dollar is almost all the way back to where it was before the start of the war.

This has absolutely stunned many of the experts, because they thought that U.S. sanctions would absolutely cripple Russia. So what happened? Well, it turns out that the Russians have made some very savvy moves that have turned the tables on the Biden administration.

For one thing, Russia has started to demand payment in roubles when it sells natural gas to non-friendly nations. A lot of countries in western Europe are quite upset about this, but they really have no choice, because they are exceedingly dependent on Russian gas. So from this point forward, western powers are actually going to be forced to help prop up the value of the rouble…

This is a new directive from President Vladimir Putin as he attempts to leverage his country’s in-demand resources to counter a barrage of Western sanctions.

“I have decided to implement … a series of measures to switch payments — we’ll start with that — for our natural gas supplies to so-called unfriendly countries into Russian roubles,” Putin said in a televised government meeting, adding that trust in the dollar and euro had been “compromised” by the West’s seizure of Russian assets.

Secondly, the Russians have decided that U.S. dollars will no longer be accepted as payment for anything that they sell to other nations. Pavel Zavalny, the head of the Russian parliament, says that U.S. currency “has lost all interest for us”…

Much more interesting was Zavalny’s main point, even though it has been mostly overlooked. If other countries want to buy oil, gas, other resources or anything else from Russia, he said, “let them pay either in hard currency, and this is gold for us, or pay as it is convenient for us, this is the national currency.”

In other words, Russia is happy to accept your national currency — yuan, lira, ringgits or whatever — or roubles, or “hard currency,” and for them that no longer means U.S. dollars, it means gold.

“The dollar ceases to be a means of payment for us, it has lost all interest for us,” Zavalny added, calling the greenback “no better than “candy wrappers.”

This is huge, but it isn’t being discussed much by the corporate media in the United States, or Australia!.

The Russians aren’t just saying that they do not recognize U.S. dollars as the reserve currency of the world any longer. That would be bad enough.

At this point, they are actually saying that they will no longer accept U.S. dollars as a form of payment at all.

This is the largest seismic adjustment to the world financial system since the end of World War 2.

Too much shalaye.

Gazprom is already mandated by law to convert 80% of its earnings to Roubles so this decree is just window dressing and does not move the needle on foreign exchange conversions.

People hold your currency on Trust, reliability of behaviour and for trading a variety of goods. All this shalaye won't change the fact that people cannot trust to hold Rouble but I bet you have held dollars before and will continue to do so.

Any country is free to set any terms they want. EU contracts stipulate payment in Euros and nobody is shouting about Euros trying to replace petrodollar. People accept what they can trust to hold value, that's why dollar was already used before petrodollar and became merchants currency of choice when there was not enough gold to back all the currency in the world. I would rather hold something that keeps its value like Dollar or Euro than Rouble that dances upandan like Naira.

People hold the most reliable currencies that hold value and where most of their trade is done, and that is Dollars and Euros. They would hold Yuan but Yuan pegs itself to the dollar so that's the same as holding dollar, but nobody will hold a schizophrenic currency like Rouble with unpredictable Govt as an alternative.

Bombing hospitals, schools, and civilian infrastructures happens in wars all the time. It's one of the realities of war.
Meanwhile, Yes, Ukraine has the right to bomb Russian oil depot too. But denying it after bombing it is what? Yes stupid. If you did it, then take responsibility for it, so that when you're paid back in the same dose and intensify their attacks on you, you won't say you did nothing when you clearly bombed their oil depot in the middle of a peace talk

Jesus na Seun be that? Let me edit me stuff immediately make I no chop ban

How about a one time pass to Werner here? Looks to me like the passing lane was open for a split second and the moment he delayed, it got closed down.

Not blaming him anyway, knowing who the werey receiving the ball is, nothing would have come out of it.

Play it as video,leave picture. Ball is bobbling at this snapshot

[quote author=Exonerate1 post=111597672]He makes this simple pass and we're 1-0 up

Mount through ball🥶🥶🥶 pic.twitter.com/LQajqi1Q3L

simple about this pass? Werner hasn't even lost his man and players are blocking passing lanes

Na Rudiger even clear that nonsense for the fourth goal, not Silva

Third and fourth goal was on Rudiger

Man justifying what we said about back 3 saving him

Exonerate1:
The kind of braindead decisions players like Zouma, Chalobah and the likes make I hope it doesn't reflect on who you are as a person

I will take Zouma in a back four over your soft boys hiding in back 3 who disgrace themselves in back 4. Zouma has more sense of danger than all of them except Silva. Only passing ability keeps him out of back 3. A player can be great positionally without being good at passing eg Sol Campbell and Smalling who is more positionally secure than all the soft boys at Manure.

And I will support Chalobah as a homeboy till he start shïtting in Church regularly like I did for Chris

Jeferious:
Always? Guy you do basic economics for secondary school na. If demand outweighs supply tremendously, which entails that there's a scarcity of the said commodity, what happens to PRICE? Who wins in this kind of situation?

Periods of supply shock are always followed by periods of demand shock. Go and ask Buhari what happened to oil price in 1980s after the oil crisis of 1970s caused by Iran. Also ask Buhari what happened to oil price in 2015 after the record prices of 2011 to 2014 caused by the Arab Spring. Producers ramp up supply when price is high to profit, leading to a glut. The Arab Spring sparked the Shale revolution that crashed price. In summary, if you dey sell something, don't get carried away thinking you are the boss. The buyer with the greenback is always the more powerful party. The West can spend money on energy longer than an enemy can stay solvent. Putin is shooting himself in the foot with AK47. Govt is not and should not be the major source of inflows, companies should drive it, and he's shut his companies out of markets except the energy suppliers who will also be phased out long-term.

simplesearch:
Rupee to Ruble, laughing; what do you think that will get Russia in the international market? Hope you know what happened to the Northern tomato traders when they decided to cut off supply to the South the other time, they carry out their threat and even continue to sell but the commodity became so cheap and almost useless. Once Europe hands off Russia gas, India and China will be playing chess with the commodity.

Best post on this thread.

Trade is not by coercion.

A stupid way of cutting your nose to spite your face.
They cut off Russia and buy from Poland and other 3rd party source who inturn buy from Russia, isn't that stupidity?

Russia cannot afford to stop supply. They have neither the place to redirect nor the storage. In market, buyer always wins.
