With his ultimatum that Ukraine surrender to Russia, Trump finally wins a prize:

The Neville Chamberlain award for betraying peace, freedom, and justice.

Good analysis why crypto is no money but a speculative asset

„crypto has no underlying cash flow, no lender of last resort, and no legal tender status, there is no stabilising force to counteract demand swings“

$2 Billion Gone In Minutes: Bitcoin Slide Shakes Crypto World
Global crypto markets experienced a significant plunge on Friday, triggering a widespread sell-off across various tokens. Bitcoin fell below $83,000, and Ethereum dropped below $2,800, leading to roughly $2 billion in liquidations. Over 390,000 accounts were wiped out, with a notable $37 million BTCUSD order indicating intense selling pressure. Bitcoin positions accounted for the majority of liquidations, with approximately $962 million erased, largely impacting those betting on price increases. Long liquidations reached $1.78 billion, significantly outweighing short liquidations at $130 million, following a strong US jobs report that diminished hopes for a December rate cut. Derivatives activity further pressured the market, with over $4.2 billion in crypto options expiring. Altcoins also suffered, with Solana and XRP experiencing significant price declines. On-chain data revealed substantial losses among large holders, with some individual ETH liquidations reaching millions. High-profile accounts, like Machi and the "Anti-CZ Whale," saw significant profit declines amid the market crash. The broad selling pressure indicated that the downturn was not confined to a specific market or sector.

Das Iraner und Israelis zusammenkommen um Musik zu machen und Freunde werden hört sich erst mal nach falschem Film an. Das Musik als gemeinsame Sprache Frieden stiften kann merkte man nach den ersten Klängen der Band Sistanagila im Schlachthof Wiesbaden. Ein surreal schönes Konzert. Shabbat Shalom

"There'll be some swapping of territories to the betterment of both," Trump said

No, that deal will require territorial concession by Ukraine. Trump wants peace whatever it takes. Putin wants territory.
