News on October 23: With the BRICS summit opening in Kazan, Russia, the issue of cryptocurrency has been put on the agenda. Russian lawmakers are advocating the idea that Russian miners can sell their tokens to international buyers, while domestic buyers can use BitMarket and other cryptocurrency markets to pay for imported goods, effectively bypassing Western sanctions. Richard Wolf, an American economist and emeritus professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, commented on the situation, stating that the BRICS alliance is surpassing the already peaked United States. The United States is on a decline and is trying to maintain its international dominance.
