🇲🇩☮️🇲🇩 Moldovan president, Maia Sandu, reiterated her goal of reintegrating the Transnistrian region into Moldova, in a peaceful manner, before Moldova enters the EU.
She says that this is her big "ideal" but that a lot depends on other factors.
Sandu is aware of the situation Cyprus is in. Similarly, Cyprus is split in half with the northern half being occupied by the Turkish army who created a rump state. The southern half entered the EU and enjoyed its added benefits but the EU who should be working to reunite Cyprus has done little to sanction Turkey in this regard.
In other words, if Moldova doesn't gain control over Transnistria before EU membership, it certainly won't be able to do so after. EU membership for Moldova will only solidify Transnistria's claim to statehood and will drive it apart further from the rest of Moldova. As the EU doesn't have a plan to reunite Cyprus, what are the chances that it will make one for Moldova? Also, the EU cannot accept countries with territorial disputes so, EU membership will irreversibly change Moldova's de-facto borders.

In general, many financial experts support their clients’ desire to buy cryptocurrency, but they don’t recommend it unless clients express interest. “The biggest concern for us is if someone wants to invest in crypto and the investment they choose doesn’t do well, and then all of a sudden they can’t send their kids to college,” says Ian Harvey, a certified financial planner (CFP) in New York City. “Then it wasn’t worth the risk.” The speculative nature of cryptocurrency leads some planners to recommend it for clients’ “side” investments. “Some call it a Vegas account,” says Scott Hammel, a CFP in Dallas. “Let’s keep this away from our real long-term perspective, make sure it doesn’t become too large a portion of your portfolio.” In a very real sense, Bitcoin is like a single stock, and advisors wouldn’t recommend putting a sizable part of your portfolio into any one company. At most, planners suggest putting no more than 1% to 10% into Bitcoin if you’re passionate about it. “If it was one stock, you would never allocate any significant portion of your portfolio to it,” Hammel says.
A project of our size needs at least a few hundred million dollars per year to keep going,” Mr. Durov wrote in his public channel on Telegram late last year. “While doing that, we will remain independent and stay true to our values, redefining how a tech company should operate.
