The world has changed so drastically in the past two years or so and technology has played a core role during most of the main events that shaped and are still shaping so impactfully shapping the world since the beginning of 2020.

Joe Biden is the oldest president America ever had. The old fart turned 80 recently and he was "selected president" when he was 78. Joe Biden would have not won the elections if it wasn't for covid and Twitter. I would bet on that.

The way Americans have voted(ballots and shit) during the so-called pandemic and how Twitter silenced Donald Trump has permitted the elections to be rigged and a senile individual such as Biden, who clearly is a man of the elites to become president.

Without Biden, there would have been probably no war in Ukraine right now and without FTX some politicians could have not laundered millions upon millions through Ukraine. Without Tether we would have been even better, but this is a story for a future episode.

The pandemic is over now, it is about to be over in China too, as there are already enough violent protests and clashes between the fed-up Chinese people and the communist law enforcers, but what about Twitter? Without Twitter, the win for Biden would have been even harder, if possible to begin with.

Well, the bluebird app is now "in the hands" of the wealthiest man in the world. No, it's not in the hands of any of the Rockefellers or Rothschilds, it's in the hands of the "officially declared wealthiest man in the world", Elon Musk.

Elon entered the company with a sink in his hands soon after he bought it and since he got on the CEO chair some positive changes have occurred for the social media app. "Fact-checkers" have been laid off massively and the banned have been unbanned. Is Elong making Twitter the app of the people and a superior media to the mainstream one?

Probably, although he will not abolish mainstream media though as long as "mainstream" still exists. Or better said, as long as there will be naiveness in this world elite owned media outlets will exist.

Recently, Elon Musk posted a few pics on his Twitter profile with hints on what future changes are coming to Twitter and among "long-form tweets" and "encrypted DMs" it seems that "payments" found a place on the Twitter developments board too. The founder of PayPal is bringing Payments to Twitter. Who would have thought of that?...

If I remember correctly I might have hinted at it when I made the connection between Musk being a cofounder of PayPal and him buying Twitter a while back. So, without Twitter and covid, Biden would have not won the elections and without Biden, we would not have a Russia-Ukraine war right now.

Putin is way smarter and has heavier balls than Biden.

Personal opinion here, I have not seen the balls of any of these two. Putin knows that "international settlements" is where America can hit him hard, thus he shares the necessity for a new digital payment system for international settlements.

“We all know very well that under today’s illegitimate restrictions, one of the lines of attack is through settlements. And our financial institutions know this better than anyone because they are exposed to these practices.”

“Based on the technologies of digital currencies and distributed ledgers, it is possible to create a new system for international payments, and much more convenient, but at the same time completely safe for participants and completely independent of banks and interference from third countries.” -Vladimir Putin source

So, what do we have here? A social media app that's getting more social and censorship-resistant by the day, working on bringing payments to its users(probably crypto payments too), and an ex-communist country's leader in the works of creating an alternative "international settlements system" to the dollar.

Hmmm...

I won't say we are witnessing a dedolarization process of the world in play right now, cuz we might not be there yet, but shit is getting interesting recently, in the middle of all the chaos and suffering. For the past two years, the world has not become a better place, but challenging times have for sure opened up clearer and better skies for us.

Thanks for your attention, Adrian
