I had a strange feeling back in March 2020 when the lockdowns were announced. It felt like the world was about to change forever and that it was inevitable.

I rejected most of the measures imposed, if not all, during the whole pandemic, and I have not once fallen for the official narratives, neither regarding the pandemic nor the current war in Ukraine.

Since the war started, we have somehow entered "phase two" of the pandemic. Although we no longer have a virus as a threat, there is still the threat of World War III hanging over our heads. As mentioned in many of my previous posts, I see the war in Ukraine as a proxy war between the US and Russia, a war that Russia will never lose.

Putin would instead wipe out Russia, Ukraine, and America off the face of the earth than succumb. Mark my words. This guy didn't manage to stay in charge since 1990 by being a pushover like Joe Biden.

Unfortunately, the ones paying the heavy price for such a terrible situation are first and foremost the ones dying over there (both Russians and Ukrainians fighting the proxy war) and the rest of us around the world "supporting the conflict" through taxes, high inflation, and skyrocketing prices that are "necessary" to cover the expenses of such a war.

According to Kim Dotcom, the US has so far spent $130 billion on military aid for Ukraine to support the war, but Russia is still winning (Russia gained 40,000+ sq miles). Meanwhile, the US is not only sending taxpayer money to a country the average Joe has no interest in seeing at war but is also losing credibility, the strength of the dollar, and the influence in the political and economic sphere it once had.

Maybe this was the plan from the beginning, who knows... But for the moment, this new world order looks more like a "disorder for America" from my perspective. I see both division and unification at the same time across the globe. If that makes any sense...

A few days ago, [Donald Trump openly talked during a speech about the loss of strength the dollar](https://www.c-span.org/video/?527139-1/president-trump-speaks-mar-lago-hush-money-charges) is undergoing. Despite his statement being nothing more than election propaganda, the orange man might be right. Here's why...

[The Chinese yuan replaces the US dollar to become the most dominant currency](https://www.firstpost.com/explainers/chinese-yuan-us-dollar-most-dominant-currency-russia-trade-foreign-reserves-12410002.html) after the BRICS nations announced they would no longer conduct trades between each other using the dollar as an exchange currency but instead favoring the Chinese yuan. With many other countries "promising to join in"...

China, China, China...

[China will invest an estimated RM170.07 billion (US$38.64 billion) in Malaysia](https://www.channelnewsasia.com/business/china-commits-investing-nearly-us39-billion-malaysia-pm-anwar-3396056#:~:text=China%20commits%20to%20investing%20nearly%20US%2439%20billion%20in%20Malaysia%3A%20PM%20Anwar,-Malaysian%20Prime%20Minister&text=KUALA%20LUMPUR%3A%20China%20will%20invest,on%20Tuesday%20(Apr%204).), including in the petrochemical and automotive industries, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said on Tuesday, just for the news of Malaysian Prime Minister saying there's no reason to continue to depend on the US dollar.

See how the dots are connecting?... Oh, and I'm not done yet. There's so much happening right now that I literally have something like 20 open tabs of articles, all of them from this week, talking about insanely impactful events that will reshape the world's map as we know it (not necessarily the physical one).

America is literally getting slapped after slap lately from all sorts of world leaders, and the only reason for all of this happening right now is due to the recent confirmation of the Chinese-Russian friendship and the alliances these countries have made with others to weaken America's strength (political and economic) and influence in the world. 

[Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince MBS says he is no longer interested in pleasing the US](https://watcher.guru/news/saudi-arabias-crown-prince-is-no-longer-interested-in-pleasing-the-u-s), while [Russia and India abandon the Europe-dominated oil price and agree to use the Dubai oil price benchmark](https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/russia-shifts-dubai-benchmark-indian-oil-deal-sources-2023-04-03/). The power shift is happening as we speak, and there's no turning back.

The world will never be the same, but it is not going to hell or lifting itself towards heavenly living standards either. By no means do I intend to trash America or the Americans in any way through such posts, but facts are facts. Despite the fall that America might currently be in right now, as a superpower, there's always a bright side to the story, and the bright side is that Bitcoin (crypto) can have its moments of glory during such times.

[US presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. warns that the Federal Reserve's 'FedNow' digital currency will result in financial slavery and political tyranny](https://news.bitcoin.com/robert-kennedy-jr-government-could-ban-seize-bitcoin-cbdcs-could-lead-to-financial-slavery-political-tyranny/), while [the Bitcoin whitepaper was just revealed to be hidden on every Apple MacBook computer running recent versions of macOS software](https://crypto.ro/en/news/hidden-bitcoin-whitepaper-discovered-on-every-recent-apple-macbook/). Doesn't it feel like the world is splitting in two?

On one hand, we have the power-hungry elites fighting each other over supremacy, and on the other, we now have the doors open for Bitcoin and decentralized blockchain technology to find their place in this crippling modern world. It doesn't have to all be doom and gloom or shiny rainbows for us.

All we need are a few doors open to make things happen. These are the times we (the Bitcoiners and Hivers) were waiting for. Bitcoin and blockchain technology need mass adoption, not "speculative ETFs" pushing the price up and down.

I don't see the world being faced with a societal collapse as being bearish for Bitcoin, decentralized blockchain technology, and everything related. On the contrary, in every crisis lies opportunity, and now's our opportunity to really start using this damn tech as it was designed - empowering and freeing us from the constricting chains the banking cartel has tied us in.

Oh, and before I close this post, I really have to share this one too with you guys: [Almost nobody paid taxes for crypto in 2022](https://news.bloombergtax.com/crypto/almost-nobody-paid-crypto-taxes-in-2022-swedish-study-finds).
