"The great threat to freedom is the concentration of power. Government is necessary to preserve our freedom, it is an instrument through which we can exercise our freedom; yet by concentrating power in political hands, it is also a threat to freedom." -- Milton Friedman

The worst thing about the atomic bomb is not the bomb itself, but rather the disproportional power given to certain governments, taking away the powerful instrument which is threat of war.

The recent developments regarding the Russia-Ukrainia conflict have made me think about what would happen, if this given or a similar conflict escalated to the point where war ensues.

Supposed a superpower X, which has the Bomb, of this oh so peaceful world invades one or several countries, may it be for the primeval reason of expanding ones power. Following the primary waves of general political and social uproar everybody waits for the big quake. There should be rigourous sanctions against X but in the (very likley) case of a totalitarian government X tends to react indifferently. Oh and do not forget that sanctions can also backfire especially when imposed against superpowers.

When diplomatics and politics fail, a military intervention is the next step. But here comes the problem : X has the Bomb. Too affraid of the possible outcome of a nuclear war, one better thinks thrice about stirring up the hornet's nest.

This brings us to my point. The atomic bomb makes war Pandora's Box. No one wants to open it. We will likley never see the terrible consequences of the Bomb but we are daily witnessing the effects of its sheer presence. Our hands are tied.

PS: Sorry for my bad english.

Edit: A few messed up letters

Russia, like many other countries in the Eurasian Region, does not have any government instruments for regulating the crowdfunding sector. Astana was one of the first to do this. See Alexander Borodich, Universa Founder, comment on the situation to Invest-Foresight. medium.com/universablockc…

Assuming that the government wants to do away with deductions in the long term, is PPF still worth it as a long term debt instrument for FIRE?

As someone who has put in 1.5L every year in April for a few years for the 80C deduction and EEE goodness, how badly does losing the first E negatively impact your consideration of PPF as your long term debt instrument?

NEUTRO believe blockchain’s real use cases are decentralized ones as a powerful tool to govern everything without the middle-or-above-men and give access to empowering instruments to those excluded or mistreated by their government.

While many cryptocurrency projects have shown some innovaQons in specific areas like privacy or scalability, there has been no substanQal breakthrough allowing for a mass adopQon of the technology. This is not to say that advances haven’t been made, or that there aren’t more people using cryptocurrencies than ever before, but its use as a scalable mechanism to transact more independently of centralized insQtuQons has yet to be realised. Perhaps as importantly, the methods by which people access blockchain technology are sQll far from straighdorward and not easy to use by an average person – there is no sign of any project replacing tradiQonal asset markets in any meaningful way and that might be one of the reasons why. Blockchain technology, which was envisioned as a compeQQon to tradiQonal, centralized and ofen unfair financial and governance systems, over Qme became more and more used and researched as a technology embraced by precisely the enQQes it was supposed to compete with, such as corporaQons, banks, governments. We believe blockchain’s real use cases are decentralized ones as a powerful tool to govern everything without the middle-or-above-men and give access to empowering instruments to those excluded or mistreated by their government.
