In the mean time....Russia is on the verge of invading eastern Ukraine...
That is almost like predicting BTC prices. Is it really going to happen, and if so when, and by how much... whatever... sounds like the topic of another thread, even though these kinds of events could affect BTC prices b/c of supply and demand in the event that BTC were to be increasingly implemented or used b/c of these kinds of world events.

Thx... I do believe, though, to the extent that we are NOT battling trolls and other stupid ass disinformation posts, there is a lot of potential in this speculation thread to discuss how various world events and world circumstances play into the price of bitcoin and the expected increases in adoption. There are so many countries or groups of people who likely going to recognize bitcoin prospects and to incorporate bitcoin related technologies into their lives. Surely, the world will NOT be saved in any quick or meaningful way b/c there are likely going to be a lot of battles ahead... including competing and deceptive btc-like imitations.
