Who understands this, family? As Putin lands in India amidst the Siberian cold, Modi immediately rolls out the 'red carpet' to the fullest, where the red carpet could serve as a mirror, and the traditional dance is more lively than the exchange's user acquisition activities. Not only does he personally greet Putin, but he also takes him out for a private dinner, chatting for three hours until the tea becomes coffee. From the Western perspective, this scene is more distressing than witnessing a crash in their heavily invested mainstream coins, but as seasoned crypto enthusiasts, we must see the deeper meaning behind this dinner: this is not merely two countries catching up; it is clearly a 'computing power layout meeting' for the Eurasian continent!
Let me highlight for the new followers: don’t think that geopolitics is worlds away from your K-line charts. Last year, the Russia-Ukraine conflict caused energy coins to surge, and the Federal Reserve's rate hikes pressed down on altcoins – have you forgotten? Now, Putin's visit to India is like him placing a 'triangular chess' bet in the crypto circle. The most intriguing part is that before meeting Modi, he suddenly 'sent a message' to China: 'China and India are both my good friends, but I won't interfere in your matters.' This sounds laid-back but is actually more precise than smart contracts.
Many criticize Putin for being 'timid,' saying he used to mediate in the Middle East and Central Asia, so why has he shrunk back regarding China and India? Those in the know understand that this is masterful maneuvering. In the crypto world, which big player has dared to heavily invest in two competing projects while also taking a stand? Otherwise, fans from both sides might rush to criticize you for 'harvesting retail investors.' Russia is currently in this situation: on one side is China, a 'stablecoin-level' strategic partner; on the other, India, a 'potential altcoin-level' collaborator. Favoring either side would be akin to smashing one's own plate.
Moreover, the boundary issues between China and India are more complex than the fork disputes in decentralized projects; outsiders speaking up only complicates matters. China doesn’t need a 'project consultant,' and India certainly isn’t going to fall for the 'pump and dream' routine. It’s similar to our trading: true experts never listen to others blabber; studying the white paper is the way to go. Putin clearly understands this; instead of being a thankless 'signal teacher,' he might as well be a 'liquidity provider' stabilizing the tripartite relationship.
His true trump card has already been revealed: 'The friendship between Russia, China, and India is a blockchain linked by a chain.' In crypto terms, this translates to 'only by banding together can one resist downturns.' The Russia-Ukraine conflict has allowed Russia to see through the West's 'centralized hegemony,' just as we have seen through the faces of certain centralized platforms; and India, over the years, has been no different from the new players chasing after institutions, following the U.S.'s 'Indo-Pacific strategy.'
The benefits the U.S. offers India are like the rewards exchanges give to new users: they look enticing but are deeply flawed. Which of the U.S., Japan, or Australia isn't 'stronger in computing power and has more chips'? India is merely a 'filler node' in this mix and isn't the core. When India truly faces trouble, the U.S. will flee faster than the manipulators during a crash, just like when the coins you heavily invested in run into problems, and institutions have already withdrawn, leaving you on the mountaintop to catch the wind.
What Russia can truly provide India is genuine 'value support': energy akin to 'mining electricity,' weapons as a 'security firewall,' and diplomatic resources as a 'pathway to the mainstream exchanges.' The U.S. either won’t provide these or offers 'high-premium air.' More crucially, if Russia, China, and India really 'link together,' the energy could be stronger than merging three leading projects.
Let's do the math: China is the 'global computing power center' (manufacturing), India is the 'new user pool' (growth potential), and Russia is the 'core mining field' (resources). When these three come together, a 'super blockchain' spanning the Eurasian continent will emerge. The Western 'small circles' can at most be considered 'alliances of centralized exchanges,' which fundamentally cannot withstand the impact of such a 'decentralized ecosystem.' By then, the quality assets in our hands may rise along with the tide.
The key now lies with India: will it continue to be the 'retail investor chasing highs and selling lows,' or will it become a 'long-term value investor'? Putin's visit to India is like handing Modi a 'deep research report'; whether he understands it depends on India's 'investment vision.'
To put it bluntly, the more chaotic the world becomes, the more appealing 'decentralized alliances' will be, just like the worse the market conditions, the more valuable quality coins become. The game between Russia, China, and India is shaping the 'Eurasian mainnet' for the next decade, and what we in the crypto circle should focus on is this kind of 'change in underlying logic.' After all, what ultimately determines your position’s returns is never the short-term fluctuations but the long-term trends.
