Unless you have a way of making the Democrat party disappear, Biden’s catch-and-release policy is the law of the land. That’s why 2024 is so important. You can bang your head on the wall all you want about the border - the fact is Biden has decided to open the border and there’s nothing we can do about it. Even if he stroked out tomorrow, Harris would do the exact same thing. Heck - she might airlift illegals here.

What dropping like a rock?

When you consider ETH was 200 bucks only a a few years ago that’s a 1300 percent profit in a few years.

It’s retraced a LOT, and it will go back up a LOT.

Especially now that we see currency can be frozen and locked up by our bull #### governments.

Don’t bother. Some just hate crypto...or anything too new.

SELECT..ding ding ding...key word :)

You can shut down 4 SELECT donut shops in my area.

As long as a dozen others are left open :)

[You keep forgetting that Russia can just turn off the oil and gas and Europe sinks and implodes. They win over Europe without firing a shot.]

You forget that there is a single market for oil and gas. China is reportedly signed up for Russian oil and gas at half the market price. That’s oil and gas China won’t be buying from elsewhere that Europe can purchase. Transportation costs will be higher, since customers usually buy from the closest source, and for Europe that source is Russia, but that’s small change in the overall scheme of things. For the power market, Europe has decommissioned coal plants it might be able to fire up again. New natural gas plants can come up in 2 years. Coal fired plants are probably in the same time range.

31 Fahrenheit in Berlin right now. Cut off swift, maybe no gas.

It’s getting warmer every week.

“beginning of the end of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency“

The Central Banks will get what they want, when they want it. That is, total control, digital currency, their own crypto, end of bitcoin, etc. Nothing can stop them, IF that’s what they want.

[aces]

Yep..

My 2 cents

The Germans hadn’t stopped buying Russian Gaz as of a few days ago. Perhaps outsourcing energy policy to an autistic Nordic teenager was not wise?

BREAKING: US And EU agree to remove select Russian banks from SWIFT, impose restrictions on Russian Central Bank, and more

The key word is "select". That means Russia still has the ability to move money via SWIFT.

Now ask yourselves this question: Who's making money off of these "select" banks that still have the capability to move money into & out of Russia?

Russia's #1 export is OIL. That means Russia is still getting PAID for oil, and their oil proceeds will be what funds Russia's $20B dollars/day war in Ukraine.

It's ALWAYS "follow the money" ... no matter what the problem is, FOLLOW THE MONEY.

Who's getting paid to move money into and out of Russia via these "select" banks?

I'm going to ask the folks who run our SWIFT systems tomorrow which Russian "select" banks can still move money. Likely those banks will be controlled by a handful of Russian Oligarch's.

Anyone want to bet on that?

[usconservative]

select Russian banks

Yep. Beat me to it.

These "select" banks will be held by Russian Oligarch's who control Russia's energy sector.

See my post above. I'm going to do what I can to find out which Russian "select" banks are still on SWIFT tomorrow and if I can, I'll post those names here on FR.

My bet is, they're Oligarch controlled banks and there some form of quid pro quo going on. Always follow the money.

What stops them from laundering their money through belarus or china?

[oldasrocks]

So how are we paying Russia for the oil and gas we are buying from them daily? I’m sure they are not donating it to us.

[nuconvert]

There’s always pallets of U.S. dollars like Obama. I haven’t heard Biden say that he’s stopped buying their oil
