Just watching this awesome comedy show (think it's called 'EU Versailles summit press conference' or sth). Honorable Secretary 'Zensursula, Flinten Uschi' van der Leyen:

We will phase out the use of Russian oil, gas and coal ...

We’re building a wallet that will be easy to use for everyone. In our first post, we covered how we’re accomplishing this: we’re building a combination of hardware and a mobile application that will let you choose how you want to balance the convenience of using the app for transfers and the security of requiring the hardware for authorizing higher stakes money movement. This means that the hardware is only one part of the experience - in fact, only a small part. Customers will primarily manage their money by interacting with the mobile application we’re building, and will only need to interact with the hardware in combination with the mobile app to authorize larger, less frequent transactions above an amount of their choosing.

For transactions that require using the wallet hardware, we want our customers to be able to unlock their wallets securely, but with ease - an unlikely combination that historically has not existed in the market. We believe PINs, passwords, and seed phrases are confusing and often not secure given the workarounds normal people have to create given all the friction. This compounds when the need for those passwords are more rare.

Instead, to achieve seamless authentication in practice, we plan to incorporate a fingerprint sensor into the wallet hardware. Every authentication technology comes with tradeoffs. We’re excited about the security against theft or misuse that this will provide, the peace of mind that will come from not needing to remember yet another PIN, and the ease of placing a finger on the sensor rather than manipulating tiny, failure-prone buttons on a difficult-to-read screen. We're aware of limitations we'll need to design around - for example, some customers will want to share access to their money without relying only on their fingerprint. As we build the product, we'll evaluate additional access methods that customers could opt into. And of course, fingerprint sensor data will never leave the hardware device. But don’t take our word for it - listen to the independent community that will be able to inspect and verify our source code. Are there other limitations we should be designing around?

Additionally, as we’ve continued to design the hardware component of the wallet, we recently chose to use a rechargeable lithium polymer battery and USB-C port to power the device. We believe this is the best choice for this product, as it optimizes for the best customer experience and design. We shared our thinking and solicited feedback using a SPADE, a decision document format commonly used within Block. You can read more about our decision here.

First it was; Europe needs to be more independent from Russian energy, they need to do something about it. Now they are talking to eachother to excelerate the process and it is suddenly a ''comedy show''

Do you really think the energy transition will be completed in just a few months with so many countries? Stay realistic, 5 years is fast.

They can buy but there is no infrastructure for it.

I am coming to realization that money has no real value. It's pretty shocking, actually.
Whether this includes bitcoin, it is still an open question, but better than the rest, of course.
I can use money in my pocket right now of course, but what about a situation when some goods are absent as it started happening (mostly outside of US for now)?
I am also a bit shocked that bitcoin did not go up 50% recently, considering what happened with fiat. Flat city.

Does property have value? Maybe, unless you are not the 'right' person at the time. If you are not, people might not respect your property rights.
So, chalk off property as well. It has been a nice 77 years of stability in that respect, not anymore.

What is of value: imho, it is your geographical location, access to readily available resources (I am talking about food and water mostly), freedom of movement.
Bitcoin could play a role in the last two (or even all three) params.

According to Desjardins,[28] "many economists and experts in the field agree" that the functions of money are that it is a medium of exchange, a unit of account, and a store of value. To fulfill these various functions, he states that money must be:[28]

    Fungible: its individual units must be capable of mutual substitution (i.e., interchangeability).
    Durable: able to withstand repeated use.
    Divisibile: divisible to small units.
    Portable: easily carried and transported.
    Acceptable: everyone must accept the money as payment
    Uniform: all units of the same denomination have the same value
    Limited in supply: its supply in circulation must be limited.[28]
