August 22 Comex futures are still over 4.9
When paired with current US troop allocations to Europe there are signs on the horizon of an expanded conflict.

8月22日纽约商品交易所期货价格仍高于4.9美元
如果再加上美国目前向欧洲派遣的军队，就有迹象表明冲突正在扩大。

Copper prices spiked in 2020 due to the pandemic and have remained at about the same levels since.
As a function of the pandemic one cannot say that a large-scale ground war in Europe is "priced in".
Today copper hit an ATH.

由于疫情，铜价在2020年飙升，自那以后一直保持在大致相同的水平。
作为大流行的一个功能，我们不能说欧洲的大规模地面战争是“代价高昂的”。
今天，铜价下跌。

Let's revisit this thread for a moment since the copper market saw some positive action today.
Below is some research I did some years ago into this phenomenon.

鉴于铜市场今天出现了一些积极的行动，让我们再回顾一下这条线索。
以下是我几年前对这一现象所做的一些研究。

When Russia first invaded Crimea in 2014, the Obama administration set about a successful strategy which froze ruble liquidity which forced it to stop trading in many large forex markets.
Ever since Putin has been very interested in crypto.

2014年俄罗斯首次入侵克里米亚时，奥巴马政府制定了一项成功的战略，冻结了卢布的流动性，迫使其停止在许多大型外汇市场的交易。
从那时起，普京就对加密技术非常感兴趣。

@Grimeandreason Would you believe my opinions are as unpopular to my activist friends as my opinions are to my crypto friends ... and for mostly the same reasons? 🤣
A cult of Marx has a lot in common with a cult of Satoshi, curiously enough.

@Grimeandreason你相信我的观点对我的激进派朋友来说就像我的加密朋友一样不受欢迎吗。。。出于同样的原因？🤣
奇怪的是，对马克思的崇拜与对佐藤的崇拜有很多共同之处。

Russia has been playing a game of cryptocurrency brinksmanship: in public there is the constant threat of bans and regulations but behind the scenes has experimented with a blockchain economy for over five years. https://t.co/OUYTzEBGws

俄罗斯一直在玩加密货币边缘策略的游戏：在公开场合，禁令和监管的威胁不断，但在幕后，区块链经济已经试验了五年多。https://t.co/OUYTzEBGws

Unpopular opinion: Russians lived under communism and oligarchy/crony capitalism so it might stand to reason that whatever they come up with next might be a good idea... since they tried everything else.

不受欢迎的观点：俄罗斯人生活在共产主义和寡头/裙带资本主义之下，所以他们下一步的想法可能是个好主意，这可能是有道理的。。。因为他们尝试了其他一切。

@blaktron I have chatted w/ some of my old cohorts about all of this recently and the general opinion is that if we reach the brink of global war that we will discover that we are without a doubt not alone in the universe.

@blaktron我最近和我的一些老同事聊过这一切，他们普遍认为，如果我们走到全球战争的边缘，我们会发现，毫无疑问，我们在宇宙中并不孤单。

@blaktron I would guess that "privacy" would certainly be something only for other people.

@blaktron我猜“隐私”肯定只适用于其他人。

@blaktron I invested a HUGE amount of time debunking Nazi superweapons and as a function of that one gets a sense of what a legit superweapons program might look like.
Ever notice the number of times and ways that the show Stargate SG-1 would laughingly assert it was based on reality?

@blaktron I投入了大量时间来揭穿纳粹超级武器，作为揭穿纳粹超级武器的一种功能，人们对合法的超级武器计划可能会是什么样子有了一种感觉。
有没有注意到《星际之门》SG-1曾多次以各种方式笑称它是基于现实的？

@blaktron Still laughing since my last employer was Lockheed Martin. Specifically their Missile and Fire Control division.
We don't have it yet. They don't have my reactor. 😉

@blaktron还在笑，因为我的上一个雇主是洛克希德·马丁公司。特别是他们的导弹和火力控制部门。
我们还没有。他们没有我的反应堆。😉

@blaktron He doesn't have space lasers... he has an economy which has been stealthily degregulated to float on blockchains. I've talked about this for some time. It's all in CoinDesk's reporting since 2014. Russia is ahead of everyone else in that regard.

@blaktron他没有太空激光器。。。他的经济已经被悄悄地去监管，在区块链上浮动。我已经谈了一段时间了。自2014年以来，这一切都在Cointdesk的报告中。在这方面，俄罗斯领先于其他国家。

@blaktron Now i'm laughing because I've told folks for years that once I am a billionaire I am going to build gundam to mine near-Earth asteroids. As odd as that might sound I actually have been working on problems for some time, most notably a power source: a reactor the size of a VW.

@blaktron现在我笑了，因为我多年来一直告诉人们，一旦我成为亿万富翁，我将建造高达来开采近地小行星。虽然听起来很奇怪，但我实际上已经研究了一段时间的问题，最显著的是一个电源：一个大众大小的反应堆。

@blaktron It does raise interesting questions about certain ethnic communities in Toronto and the current state of Canadian money laundering laws.
@cduhaime

@blaktron它确实提出了一些有趣的问题，涉及多伦多的某些少数民族社区以及加拿大洗钱法的现状。
@克杜海梅

@blaktron If Ukraine using crypto to purchase military equipment is making news now, then it was non-nation state actors using it before.
If you had a budget and 5 years ago you bought Bitcoin at $2400 you have quite the war chest in 2022 and all of it off the books.

@blaktron如果乌克兰使用加密技术购买军事装备现在成为新闻，那么之前是非国家行为者使用它。
如果你有预算，5年前你以2400美元的价格购买了比特币，那么你在2022年就拥有了相当多的战争资金，而且所有这些都是帐外资金。

@blaktron OR...
... there are entities who use crypto not to evade AMLKYC but to allow for a certain amount of plausible deniability which crypto transactions can create when one is on a budget.

@blaktron或。。。
... 有些实体使用加密并不是为了逃避AMLKYC，而是为了允许在预算内进行加密交易时可能产生的一定数量的合理否认。

@blaktron You know why.

@blaktron你知道为什么。

@blaktron Just about. This is the collapsing of power structures which operated within the USSR but have proved nowhere nearly as... fault tolerant.

@blaktron差不多。这是苏联内部运作的权力结构的崩溃，但事实证明，这种权力结构远不如。。。容错。
