The world has undergone significant changes following the latest update to production bonuses. Products that were previously manufactured with a 35% bonus now barely reach 18%, and in some cases drop as low as 6%, as with cooked fish. Lower-level players are feeling the effects of an increasingly tight budget more acutely: where 2 BTC once sufficed to buy two loaves of bread, today they barely cover one. New citizens are now born poor. The streets have filled with people asking for help and advice, while governments’ inability to provide support in these difficult times has ultimately taken its toll.
Although the game’s policies are aimed at creating a deeper and more dynamic market, in practice they have given rise to an unprecedented crisis, resulting in a pronounced inflationary process.
As a hypothesis, another factor that may be pushing prices upward is the no-longer-recent collapse of Venezuela and the consequent expulsion of all its BTC into the market. This increased currency mobility may have generated an excessive rise in prices, as a response to the draining of the Venezuelan treasury through bounties.
It is to be expected that these levels will be maintained.
We also recall that our bet 17 days ago on refined crude has paid off, delivering an unprecedented gain of 98%. At this time, the recommendation is to hold oil, as we are in the midst of a full inflationary process. However, for those who prefer lower risk, this is a good moment to sell part of the position to lock in gains and invest in other markets.
