[@grahamlucas2712]

@@seanmoran2743 I see that you are susceptiple to Russian propaganda. That leak on Ukraine by an online gamer, 21 year old Intelligence Officer, (obviously not very intelligent), wanting to boast his credentials, was a fake Pentagon leak. The observers on the ground do not support the casualties between Ukraine and Russian troops. Kosovo was a Peacekeeping activity by 27 UN countries. Not just the USA. Douglas Macgregor is an USA isolationist. His argument is to retreat to the USA without having any role outside the USA borders. You might applaud that but the problem is that Russia and China are wanting to fill the void. Iraq invasion of Kuwait, the USA had the right response. Weapons of Mass Destruction. totally wrong. Afghanistan. Another USA mistake as was the Russia- Afghanistan war. Both Russia and the USA lost. Syria, Both Russia and the USA are involved in Syria. Both are wrong. Igive no credence to a failed General, Douglas Macgregor for his defeatism and spouting the imminent fall of Ukraine virtually from day one to the war between the Russian invaders under Putin to the over 500 days that the Russians haven't been able to gain any impetus against Ukraine. You, however believe the fool Douglas Macgregor. A known propagandist for Vlad, the Invader, Putin. KGB agent, War Criminal, Mass Murderer and the new Hitler of Europe. Nearly all of Europe is against Putin's Russia and the illegal invasion. Douglas Macgregor is irrelevant.

[@iriemon1796]

We know we can trust Macgregor's claims and predictions because he has been so spot on in the past: Back in March 2022 Macgregor told us "The war for all intents and purposes has been decided. Ukraine is not in the position to liberate much ... The game is over." In June he said: "Ukraine has lost this war. ... The war is over. ... Their army is effectively annihilated.. ... Ukraine is a failed state. It has collapsed." In April he said: "We are seeing the end right now. ... The last remaining Ukrainian units capable of resisting at all are surrounded in the Donbas ... with no way to escape." In July: " 80% of Ukrainian military that existed at start of war has been destroyed. 80% of its manpower killed or wounded." And in September " this entire war may be over. ... Ukrainian offenses down south have failed miserably. ... They are losing south of Kharkov." In November: "Ukraine is about to be annihilated. ... now we're looking at a force of almost 700,000 troops surrounding the Ukraine, the large probability of offensives beginning sometime over the next two three four five six eight weeks ... January: Russian sledgehammer beginning to fall in Ukraine. ... Not be surprised to hear in near future Ukrainian soldiers marching on Kiev. February: Ukraine on the verge of collapse. We're going to watch that happen over the next several weeks."' It should be clear by now even to the most ardent Russian bots that this guy has no clue as to what he's talking about, is making stuff up, and is a complete Russian sell out.

[@parrish8386]

I hold high respect for your work mate because you’re pointing people in the right direction. If there’s one thing I’ve learnt recently is to remain calm especially when it comes to investment in Cryptocurrency . If Bitcoin can sustain these recent highs, it means we're getting a period of some relief rallies across, markets would be good. The crypto market is unstable and you can’t easily tell if it’s going bullish or bearish. While myself and colleagues are trading without fear of making losses but profits, others are being patient for the price to skyrocket, well It all depends on the pattern you follow. I was able to amass a lot of profits 30 BTC! when i started at 13BTC by implementing daily trade signals and strategy from Laurel Dell Sroufe.

[@lucysluckyday]

It's not linked to the dollar. If you are in Europe you're making money selling it via euro ups/downs. If you are short term trading with leverage, then yes you will consider usdt valuations, sure. But real sells are into local currencies.

[@latorregolf]

Bitcoin has no idea the dollar exists and doesn't care. Not pegged to anything outside itself. It's it own system with smallest unit called a 'sat' short for 'satoshi'. There are 100,000,000 sats in one bitcoin.
