Ukrainian elections are necessary to ensure Ukrainians are enfranchised to vote on the US peace deal. If Ukrainians want to fight Russia to the death, as Zelensky wants to do, that's fine, but we should be 100% sure the Ukrainian leadership has a clear mandate from the Ukranian.

The market capitalization of Bitcoin is circa US$2tr. However, there is *zero* value/wealth "stored" in Bitcoin. For you to sell 1 Bitcoin for cUS$100k, someone else has to simultaneously shell out US$100k to buy it off you. The Bitcoin itself stores and yields no value; it's.
