The sexy factor is something we have playing around with. The sexier women dress up the better the economic outlook. One way to measure this is to possibly look at skirt length or the number of women dressing up provocatively you run into per week. Strip clubs don't count

I can see the stories now. Police raided a South London address this morning, where they caught the culprit red-handed with a selection of measuring equipment. When asked their purpose, “Tape Measure Harry” claimed to be compiling stock market sentiment data by measuring women's skirts. The mastermind, a "Mr Sun", is still at large.

80 or whatever.

A gold:silver ratio of over 80 is as good as ... gold, actually. Lol.

In all seriousness, when the G:S ratio hits 80 or higher, I always buy some PMs in some form ... it has never failed me. You may have to wait a bit, but it's always profitable. How much? That's a whole other discussion, i.e. when to sell. It's one of the best PM buy signals I've ever come across.

The best signal is pure terror. Harry is feeling blue. I feeling a bit sick but not sick enough to lie down. You know when you just feel ill enough where you can't do much creatively speaking but not ill enough to just pass out, Its kind of like hell but being silly kind of helps

Yes, 80! Sorry we are out of sequence. As with most indicators, extreme levels are more predictive.

Hmmm, I suspect you combined too much expired methylene blue with expensive vodka and questionable shilajit. My official diagnosis: polypharmacy hangover. Prescription: do not enter any buy orders today.

hahaha only use good Shilajit so it comes down to Vodka, some wine or the Fatty fish dish i was told to try. Baking soda does help at times. So I will try some of that with Ginger tea

Western sanctions, which aim to squeeze Russia's economy and sever it from the global financial system, have forced companies and financial firms in their droves to halt business in the country.

But many of the world's largest crypto exchanges - including Binance and U.S.-based Kraken and Coinbase - have stopped short of a blanket ban on Russian clients, despite a plea from the Ukrainian government for one.

The standoff illustrates the ideological gulf between the traditional financial sector and the world of cryptocurrencies, whose roots lie in libertarian ideals and distrust of governments.

The crypto exchanges argued that cutting off a whole nation would run counter to bitcoin's ethos of offering access to payments free of government oversight.

There are signs too that suggesting that people are scrambling to covert savings to crypto - trading volumes between the rouble and cryptocurrencies hit 15.3 billion roubles ($140.7 million) on Monday, a three-fold jump from a week earlier, according to researcher CryptoCompare.

The crypto exchanges' stance goes against that of several traditional payment companies and fintech firms that have responded to sanctions by restricting services in Russia.

Payments company Wise (WISEa.L) and remittance processor Remitly have, for instance, suspended money-transfer services in Russia, while Apple Inc (AAPL.O) limited use of Apple Pay.

U.S. payment card giants Visa Inc (V.N) and Mastercard Inc also blocked multiple Russian financial firms from their networks.

Notice all the future players of tomorrow have been silent in condemning Russia. China, India, Turkey, Indonesia, Kazakstan, Mexico, Brazil, etc

Overtly China will make it look like it is against what Russia has done but in gentle terms compared to the west. Covertly we suspect that both will working on bring their alternative payments system to SWIFT fully online quite fast.

Next Russia will probably confiscate all Western Assets in Russia and that is a huge sum. But more importantly they could make two delcarations

1) As the West has attacked them they no longer need to respect their patents, this would be a massive blow. With Russian brainpower and Chinese manufacturing prowess they could duplicate any product out there rapidly
2) Declare anyone supplying energy to their enemies which is now the EU as someone that has to be taken out. They could in effect put an energy blockade against most of Europe

The SWIFT removal was badly thought it has the potential to create another Lehman like situation

[harryg]

In theory, cryptos are tailor-made for this type of situation. Apart from the fact that they operate outside the established financial networks, certain cryptos are already very efficient at moving sums around rapidly and cheaply (eg XRP, also XLM, I'm not up on Monero).The problem they have is the value fluctuates too much to be relied on as a medium of settlement and they aren't big enough to take the job on.

I was reading about CIPS, quite interesting that it uses the Swift network for messaging. It doesn't look as if CIPS is a replacement for Swift, not at the moment anyway, but the Swift lockout will push Russia and China even closer together. CIPS settles in yuan, so another dig at the USD reserve currency status.

Finally, it will not have escaped your notice that these heavy and massive sanctions conveniently exclude the export of oil and gas from Russia. One assumes that the importers are still paying for it.

+ Pakistan

Pakistan’s prime minister Imran Khan has struck a deal to import natural gas from Russia – despite outcry over the invasion of Ukraine.

As countries impose sanctions and seek to isolate Vladimir Putin, Khan became the first leader to sign a new trade deal with Russia since the attack.

He said the pair had “great discussions” on his visit to Moscow last week, which took place as Putin launched the invasion.

They signed a bilateral agreement and Khan also agreed to import two million tons of wheat from Russia.

He defended the deal in a televised speech to the nation, saying Pakistan had needed it.

“We have signed agreements with them to import natural gas because Pakistan’s own gas reserves are depleting,” he said.

“Inshallah (God willing), the time will tell that we have had great discussions.”

Khan has expressed concern over the invasion of Ukraine, but fallen short of denouncing it.

Don't worry, FJB and minions are still working on it. Everything else they touch goes to hell and stock prices go ballistic and they make their 10% vig.

Play-to-earn rankings ... pretty interesting mini-trend.

And Georgia, with a population of 3.7M, is a much smaller country than others on this list. The difference in the ratio of users per population would be striking. I wasn't aware of this trend here.

A few months back I bought tiny amounts of SAND and AXS (as well as MANA and ENJ) as an incentive to learn more about the space (which I still have to get to...)

Indeed, the "play-to-earn" (PTE) trend will grow strong, like real man who eats raw meat and vegetables.

Early days, lots of volatility, etc.

Still, the PTE amalgamates many "pendulums," in a sense:

-Gamify everything pendulum.

-Digitalize everything pendulum, including sports, i.e. e-sports - PTE, the rich "athletes" of tomorrow will be competing in the various metaverses yet to come ...

-A.I. trend.

-Blockchain - crypto. trend.

-Metaverse - AR - VR trends (i.e. PTE in different metaverses would be fun, jumping between different worlds playing games and earning crypto, etc.)

-Distract young men from doing harm in the "real" world (i.e. Metaverse Earth) by seducing them into the more fun and more pleasurable VR metaverses.
