When the sound of guns in great power games echoes, the keyboard sounds of the capital market will tremble as well.
First line of gossip: Trump and Putin exchange barbs from afar.
Early in the morning, I saw Trump ranting on social media about Putin, calling him 'completely crazy.' It turns out Russia just launched a surprise attack on Ukraine with 250 drones and 14 missiles, completely ignoring Trump's recent call for a '30-day ceasefire.' What's even more outrageous is that while cursing Putin, old Trump is blaming Biden and Zelensky: 'These three have managed to create a war; if I were in power, it wouldn't have happened at all!' (Inner thoughts: This plot is even more exciting than the infighting among crypto project teams.)
Secret funding chains hide mysteries.
Here comes the key point! Russia suddenly classified 1/3 of the national budget (about $152 billion) as 'classified'; this money will likely flow to two places:
Arms black box: Drones and missiles explode daily; waging war costs more money than Musk launching rockets.
Infrastructure in occupied areas: Building roads and houses in eastern Ukraine, clearly aiming for long-term control.
(Case association: Isn't this like some exchanges moving user assets to mining without daring to disclose their books?)
Sanctioning nuclear weapons is on the way.
The U.S. Senate has a big surprise—81 senators jointly proposed a plan to threaten countries (naming China!) that continue to buy Russian oil and gas with a 500% tariff! It's important to know that over $2 billion is transacted daily in Russian energy globally; if this really goes into effect, where do you think this money will go? (Note: When Iran was sanctioned, Bitcoin became a gray channel for cross-border settlement.)
Personal emotional blow.
To be honest, watching politicians trade barbs is more exhausting than tracking K-lines. But we need to stay clear-headed:
Breakdown in major power diplomacy = Global market stomachache.
Escalation of energy sanctions = Surge in darknet trading demand.
Secrecy of war expenditure = Acceleration of black market stablecoin circulation.
(At this moment, holding BNB, I am lost in thought: Could platform tokens become a new safe-haven asset?)
Soul-searching question tonight:
When Putin hides military spending in crypto wallets and Trump's rhetoric turns into short-selling signals, will you choose to go all in on gold and other traditional safe-haven assets, or will you preemptively position yourself in the cryptocurrencies where Russian-Ukrainian blockchain funds might flow? Looking for someone wise in the comments!
