🚨 Paradigm-shift alert!

🇨🇳 China & 🇷🇺 Russia are joining forces

1.5 billion people & a powerful mix of tech & commodities poses a threat to the 🇺🇸

What if they threw #Bitcoin in the mix?

4 ways #BTC would make 🇨🇳 & 🇷🇺 unstoppable 👇

1/13 🧵
Without #Bitcoin 🇨🇳 & 🇷🇺 joining forces is already formidable:

-1.5 billion people
-A powerful mix of 🇨🇳 Chinese tech & markets w/ Russian 🇷🇺 commodities
-Back to back in case of a 2-front war w/ the 🇺🇸US

2/13 Image
-A foundation of extensive Eurasian trade networks out-of-reach of the mighty 🇺🇸 US navy
-Vast & remote hinterlands for safe manufacturing in case of war
-🇷🇺 Russia has the rich financier that it historically benefited from on multiple occasions

I am not saying these are correlated.

I am saying this is interesting

It looks to me that china is selling the f out of brit bonds.

$USDGBP #POUND #BRITS #RUSSIA #Ruble
Ok, now thats even more interesting

#1 points to a swap with GBP - everyone freaking out about a crash - no - this is intentional.

Brit pound is nuclear bom in the formula - notice its a mirror image of what GBP does (blue vs purple)

GBP moves HEAVILY influence formula.
What this means is if you were holding oil contracts in Pounds, oil price CRASHED bigly.

You will liquidate your position (or buy cause its now cheap) - im betting the liquidate after looking at the oil price move.

Quarterly Global Market Analysis 9/10 -
This one is going to be big, macro, and significant. Multiple things are happening.
We have a lot of things in flux, and this is a time people are scared. It's time to focus. Not time to open your wallet, nope. But to be prepared for all possible situations ahead of us. Focuses: $CL $SPX $BTC #Ruble $RUBUSD
First, #Russia is screwed and #Ukraine made an extremely significant and successful military play. I've been writing on the professional side about how significant this is, but it cannot be understated the impact of these two countries.

People asking all the time, why #Russia isn't telling straight forwardly, that the reduction of #gas flows to #Europe is a counter sanction. It annoys me as well, that they don't communicate it straight "in their face" that they are being recked currently. Well...
2/
Russia can't do that currently.
Why?
Because #Russia needs to be a reliable partner for the emerging new order and the (now overtaking) global south.
#Ukraine #BRICS #Europe #EU
3/
Russia wouldn't be in the best position internationally (global south), if claiming that it wants to fight such behavior, but on the other hand is applying it on its own.

That's why I expect some more ridicules and awkward games, until #Russia can eventually fully cease #gas

The Russian #Ruble (RUB) is poised to become a dangerous global currency & here is a 🧵 explaining why.

#Thread
The Central Bank of the #RussianFederation just profoundly altered the international trade & monetary system by linking the Russian ruble to both gold (XAU) & commodities.
By offering to buy XAU from Russian banks at a fixed price of 5000RUB/gram, the Central Bank of Russia has ties the ruble to XAU. And by extension, to the dollar (XAU is traded in U$D)

President #Putin’s Full Remarks at the #Oil for #Ruble announcement | The Vineyard of the Saker

#Russia #oil #gas #commodities thesaker.is/president-puti…
“Today I have signed an Executive Order that establishes the rules for #trade in Russian #NaturalGas with so-called unfriendly states. We offer counterparties from such countries a clear and transparent scheme. To purchase Russian natural gas, they must open ruble accounts…”
What we are witnessing here (potentially) is nothing less than the gradual conversion of the Russian ruble from a “soft” to a “hard” currency. Students in my international business class will appreciate the significance of this.

Just so everybody knows where we're at with the #gold backed #ruble:

The announcement i'm waiting for now is the Russian central bank buying rubles for gold (selling gold) at a set price. I'd expect this to be higher than 5k per gram, more like 6k a gram.

This'd be a soft-peg
Right now, Russia's waiting for the RUB to appreciate further before implementing an upper band. If the RUB is worth less per gram than the peg they've got in mind, people would immediately sell it for gold and it'd drain reserves. Hence the delay.
I don't think a traditional hard peg is favorable, as stated, when the RUB exceeds the central bank price it'll drain their reserves. By keeping an upper and lower band, both can be moved individually and adjusted to market changes.

This will dampen RUB selling pressure.

More #Russiasanctions do not necessarily increase the probability of #Peace, it could end up meaning the opposite. Many rightly point out that #oilandgas revenues dull the G7 block of Russian foreign exchange and have helped stabilize the #Ruble, at least for now. But...🧵
...we've never had sanctions like this and may be losing tabs on the strategy. Is a sovereign default a pre-requisite? Is there a bleed-rate on the #Ruble that equals a bleed-rate in the #war? We want to punish--understandably--but with what outcome?
We overestimated #RussianArmy and underestimated #Ukraine, thought we needed to hit immediately. But things have changed. Russia will fight an insurgency. This gives #sanctions and #Export controls more time. It also means in conflict, the return on additional sanctions weakens.

@ACGeoEcon #Sanctions Dashboard is out. Surprise, it's all about #RussiaUkraine. We use #dataviz to compare sanctions across countries, how #Oligarchs are connected to each other and why freezing #reserves is driving #Russia towards default.🧵w gifs below.

First, let's look at who has sanctioned what in #Russia since the #InvasionOfUkraine. The US and EU led the way. This is just entities and individuals. Keep going 👇
Next we turn to the big whopper, the freezing of 60% of #Russia's central bank reserves over night. #ruble is now at 120/USD. Analysts see credit #default trajectory. US couldn't do this alone with only 8.5%. This is international unity at play. Not done though!👇

Why does #SWIFTban not support #Ukraine the way we want it to? #SWIFT is a messaging system. Would you ever send a friend a #WhatsApp before transferring money so she can make rent? That's what banks do to maintain balance sheets. Lots of money sloshing around out there.🧵
I don't argue against a #SWIFTban. The problem is, it's become a political symbol of #sanctions resolve when there are much more impactful things we can do to damage Russia. Full blocking sanctions on banks, SOEs and then secondary sanctions. Do that if you want to hit hard.
Taking #Russia off SWIFT will make it harder to send that #WhatsApp message, but there are alternatives, including a fax machine. We only took #Iran off of SWIFT after we embargoed the country, as a "nice to have." Economic warfare has a different tempo than real warfare. 👇

Interesting read; and falls in line with how i'd expect oil to behave going into 2021.

The only thing i find missing is the perspective that War is good for the price of oil, US Shale *also* needs higher prices = more motive for the US-China war path.
Just to clarify, if we look at a #China-#USA conflict through the lens of #oil prices, i see:

1. The price of oil rises.
2. US #Shale needs higher oil prices.
3. China, being the worlds largest importer of oil by far, needs lower oil prices.
4. #SaudiArabia needs higher prices.
Higher #oil prices hurt Chinese industry while helping US industry (currency stays local because of #shale). It hurts the EU too but the US is pretty much past the point of caring about Europe, geopolitically speaking.

In this case, #Russia's the Red Herring. They don't matter.

@INETeconomics By a chance, the article saying #MMT "theorists ignore how their policies could hurt developing countries" places #Ukraine currency #hryvnia (notes of 20 hryvnia's) as its cover picture.

1/n
@INETeconomics Btw, another time when #MMT-related literature opted by a mere chance to associate itself with #Ukraine's currency was the book 'Can "It" Happen Again?' written by Hyman Minsky (2nd ed published in 2016).

This time there is a jar of coins 5 kopecks each (5 #копійок).

3/ In response to the ruble weakening on the sanctions news, Russia's central bank reduced planned purchases of FX and the ruble pared losses after that step bloom.bg/2OZUuwe
