Russian gas supplies to world markets may grow by 2.4 times.

Analysts at Yakov and Partners, together with the Roscongress Foundation, expressed the opinion that the share of the Russian Federation in the global energy balance will decrease from 8.7% to 8.1% by 2050. At the same time, the volume of oil supplies will decrease by 25%, but gas supplies will increase by 2.4 times. The researchers proposed two scenarios.
The baseline scenario assumes a 10% reduction in oil supplies by 2030, while gas exports, on the contrary, will grow by 48%. This scenario proceeds from the full loading of both Power of Siberia pipelines, building up its own ice fleet and overcoming the logistical constraints of the Arctic and the Far East.
The second scenario comes from accelerated deglobalization. According to this scenario, oil supplies will decrease by 37.5% by 2050, and gas supplies will grow by 83%. This option will be due to a lack of infrastructure and technology. The researchers also suggest that the Russian Federation will be slow to replace fossil fuel sources [a fast transition would be senseless as Russia has all fossil fuels it needs at a cheap price].
The horizon of 2050 is a fairly distant period. With full respect for the work done by colleagues, we note that such long-term forecasts, with all the good faith of researchers, cannot take into account the probabilities that have not yet appeared, especially in such a dynamic time as now. Was it possible to accurately predict the current realities in 1999? Only partially and in general terms. Nevertheless, some long-term trends are quite amenable to analysis.
In particular, there is a trend towards the dominance of gas over oil and a small, but still growing, "green generation". This was not news for Russia โ€” our gas projects are already developing very actively, including the liquefaction of natural gas.
The specific growth/decline figures will depend on the further development of the international situation.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฌ Candace Owens claims that Zionists are not the original Jews but are instead demon worshipers and that modern Israel, established by the Rothschilds, has turned into a refuge for pedophiles. This has sparked significant backlash, with many calling for her ban from X.

Is Candace Owens right about these allegations?

My take is that very few in Israeli Jews have Semitic dna (DNA from the ancient Hebrews) while interestingly most Palestinian Arabs have Semitic DNA. Gives a whole new meaning to anti-semitism. Ergo, the war crimes committed against Palestinians is deeply Anti-Semtic and Israel has weaponized this as a shield from legitimate criticism. Ironically, according to the letter of the definition, the majority of Israeli Jews do not qualify as being descendent from the ancient Hebrews.

๐Ÿ“‰ From Fiat Ponzi Schemes to Moneroโ€™s Promise: The Next Step in Moneyโ€™s Evolution

The current financial system, driven by the never-ending supply of fiat dollars, is the true Ponzi schemeโ€”a debt spiral that keeps inflating with no end in sight. This system, is built on unlimited supply, backed by nothing but promises, and centrally controlled. Itโ€™s a house of cards waiting to collapse.

Bitcoin emerged as a response to this, offering a fixed supplyโ€”a stark contrast to the endless printing of fiat currency. However, while Bitcoinโ€™s capped supply has been hailed as a revolutionary feature, it also presents challenges. As mining rewards decrease, so does the incentive to secure the network, potentially leading to vulnerabilities in the long run.

This is where Monero steps in, evolving the concept of digital money further. Moneroโ€™s tail emissions ensure that miners remain incentivized to secure the network indefinitely, mimicking the sustainable process of gold mining. Unlike Bitcoin, Monero offers privacy, fungibility, and a decentralized system resilient to censorshipโ€”features crucial in a world dominated by central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) that seek to control and censor.

In a landscape where fiatโ€™s Ponzi scheme continues to inflate and Bitcoinโ€™s supply is finite, Monero strikes the perfect balanceโ€”combining sustainability, security, and privacy. The journey that began with Bitcoin leads naturally to Monero, the next step in the money revolution.

Are you ready to evolve beyond the limitations of Bitcoin and the Ponzi Scheme of fiat?

๐Ÿ˜ฌ In April, Goldman Sachs said their clients had 'little interest in #Bitcoin ETFs.' ๐Ÿ‘€ This week they bought $418M worth! ๐Ÿš€

The world of finance can be full of surprises, can't it? Just a few months ago, Goldman Sachs claimed there was little interest in Bitcoin ETFs. Fast forward, and now they're making a massive $418 million investment! This only goes to show that when demand speaks, even the biggest institutions listen.

But what about Monero? Could we ever see a Monero ETF? Honestly, Iโ€™m indifferent. Why? Because ETFs take custody of the coin away from the people, stripping away the very essence of what makes Moneroโ€”and crypto in generalโ€”so powerful: personal control and privacy.

However, never say never. We all remember when Bitcoin was demonized by regulators, dismissed as a tool for criminals, and now look where we are. If Monero continues to rise in value, much like Bitcoin did when it was around $150 (approximately 2016), the demand might just drive a similar shift. After all, stranger things have happened in the crypto world!

Monero is a value buy today, just as Bitcoin was back then. As demand grows, will we see ETFs โ€œcome a-walkinโ€™โ€ for Monero too? Only time will tell, but rememberโ€”true freedom lies in holding your own keys.

๐Ÿš€ Is Monero the next big value play, and will we see an ETF for it sooner than expected? ๐Ÿ’ญ
