RUSSIA VS UKRAINE 🇺🇦

With all the confusion and doubt erupting across media sources. It is important to ascertain facts from fiction.

Especially as we consumers, are hit by higher prices.

In this thread let's explore the progressively worsening situation in Ukraine.

/THREAD Image
1. Headlines

The most discerning headlines today include :

-10 Million people being forced to leave their homes in Ukraine according to UNHCR.

-Kyiv rejects Russian demand to surrender Mariupol

Why is this important?

Let's explore... Image
2. Refugees

Progress in #UkraineRussianWar peace talks have stalled.

The lives of more than 100 children have been claimed in Ukraine. Casualties are only set to increase.

The bombing of an art school in Ukraine where 400 women, children and elderly were hiding has hurt. Image
3. Peace Talks

As #RussianArmy assaults have stepped up their assault on key cities.

Peace talks have since slowed.

There was close agreement to potential points in the deal such as embracing "demilitarisation" and renouncing their intention to join Nato. Image
4. Russia's Assault

So why has Russia levelled a shopping centre in Kyiv even throughout these peace talks?

Well,

This is because there is no substantial movements.

Russia has not committed to any agreements thus no ceasefire has been set. Image
5. Incentives

This has set the scene for Ukraine to speeden up its' peace talks.

In terms of a strategic play, Russia has done very well.

Like blaming Ukraine's slow negotiation pace for the casualties and thus shifting blame to an extent, all whilst signalling this globally. Image
6. Rejection

A cause for perhaps increased attacks was the rejection to surrender Mauriupol.

Ukraine refused to hand over the city, even as Russia offered a humanitarian way out.

Clearly, they have resorted to bombing further under the pretense that:

Kyiv is using "nazis".
7. Impacts

In any two-sided negotiation. It doesn't help to any extent when individuals cause such mass shocking devastation on communities.

This will have hurt the pride of both countries.

Negotiations may take a turn for the worse as the smoke clears.
The questions I have been asking myself are:

When will the Western world interfere?

Upon their interference will they deem it a question of democracy or humanitarian aid?

How will they choose to interfere (fire with fire)? Image
I would also like to discuss a few things with individuals who are:

-Living in Ukraine.

-Living in Russia.

-Are well versed in elements occurring in this war.

If you know of any people who fit these criterion, please @ them.

I am enthusiastic to reach out.

Contributing to Crypto can be hard without the right skills.

But anyone can do it — you don't need to know how to code.

My 12 "no-code" value add skills:

[🧵 thread]
1/ Write Protocol Explanations

It's a bear market, so we're seeing less and less protocols.

But developers write code and not articles.

So there's a massive market for protocol explanations.

And an even bigger opportunity to earn from condensing it into digestable articles.
2/ Podcast Summaries

There are so many Crypto podcasts out there.

But there's even more people who don't have the time nor energy to listen to them all.

So save them time by summarizing episodes for them.

Those posts tend get shared frequently and might even go viral.

10 of the biggest hacks in 2022 Crypto, that we shouldn't forget:

(and some lessons for the future)
/1 @cryptocom - January 17, $35 million

A hacker disabled two-factor authentication on the crypto exchange.

Customer funds were lost - 4,836 ETH and 443 bitcoin were taken.

Although all affected customers were fully reimbursed for the losses.
/2 Qubit - January 27, $80 million

Hackers stole 206,809 Binance Coin from Qubit's QBridge protocol via a smart contract bug.

The assets were valued at more than $80 million at the time.

Developers were forced to rebrand as a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).

The key to successful DeFi:

Real Yield.

Knowing where the yield comes from will help you find the hidden gems in DeFi.

Here’s the step-by-step guide if you don’t know where to start:
Most DeFi users know nothing about where their yield is coming from.

“If you don’t know where the yield comes from, then you are the yield”.

This is not how DeFi should work.
The history of Yield Farming goes back to June 2020.

The 2017-era ICOs led to rounds with large token distributions to private investors.

Retail investors felt the true pain of being used for exit liquidity.

Liquidity mining (LM) was an attempt to even the playing field.

I asked, “What is the ONE piece of advice that you wish you knew before the bear market?”

I received 40+ responses.

Here are 9 tips you should read and reread:
/1

Learn how to differentiate between forced hype and real market sentiment.

If you're reasonably smart - you'll be able to tell this from Discord/Twitter & following honest, smart people.

It's difficult to do - but it's worth it.
/2

Avoid staking tokens unless you truly believe in them.

A 10% APY isn't worth it, if the token is crashing to 0 and your tokens are locked up.

It's better to recover some money than nothing at all (h/t Luna).

8 frameworks that will help you understand the new creator economy better:

🧵
1. Ownership

Identity and self expression were the first things humans ever owned.

We then began to exchange goods in the absence of money and a central bank.

Ownership has now evolved further beyond Web 2 with the introduction of NFTs and DAOs.
2. Stakeholder Incentives

Fans in the current creator system are passive consumers of products and narratives.

They don’t have any governance.

If they want to make a targeted bet on an artist like Kanye West— it would involve them betting on the multiple companies he owns.
