Russian Invasion Jitters Jolt Top Cryptos<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin is losing 3% of its value as Western jitters about Russian aggression on its neighbor Ukraine have grown higher, and worse than the Nasdaq Composite index\u2019s 0.9% drop last December.<\/p>\n

According to BuyBitcoinWorldwide\u2019s volatility index, Bitcoin\u2019s current 30-day volatility is losing 3.35% of its value; it averages 4.56% back in 2021, although it still has not given up all of its gains from lows of $32,950 two weeks ago.<\/p>\n

Apparently, watching his pets just chillin\u2019 helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better. Here's the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day - and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies. Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors - and bosses - he deeply respects.

Speaking of chill, Christian's got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin\u2019 helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better. Here's the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day - and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies. Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors - and bosses - he deeply respects. So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words \u2013 the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.","sameAs":["jomarjet01"],"url":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/author\/jomarjet01\/"}]}},"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"How Fears Of A Possible Russian Invasion Of Ukraine Is Impacting Bitcoin","url":"http:\/\/wncen.com\/news\/how-fears-of-a-possible-russian-invasion-of-ukraine-is-impacting-bitcoin\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/wncen.com\/news\/how-fears-of-a-possible-russian-invasion-of-ukraine-is-impacting-bitcoin\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Russian-invasion.jpg?resize=200%2C200","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Russian-invasion.jpg?fit=680%2C454"},"articleSection":"Bitcoin","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Christian Encila"}],"creator":["Christian Encila"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"NewsBTC","logo":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/cropped-cropped-cropped-favicon.png?w=32"},"keywords":["bitcoin","crypto","ethereum","russia","ukraine"],"dateCreated":"2022-02-17T13:07:39Z","datePublished":"2022-02-17T13:07:39Z","dateModified":"2024-06-11T14:11:37Z"},"rendered":"<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"NewsArticle\",\"headline\":\"How Fears Of A Possible Russian Invasion Of Ukraine Is Impacting Bitcoin\",\"url\":\"http:\\\/\\\/wncen.com\\\/news\\\/how-fears-of-a-possible-russian-invasion-of-ukraine-is-impacting-bitcoin\\\/\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"http:\\\/\\\/wncen.com\\\/news\\\/how-fears-of-a-possible-russian-invasion-of-ukraine-is-impacting-bitcoin\\\/\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/wncen.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/02\\\/Russian-invasion.jpg?resize=200%2C200\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/wncen.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/02\\\/Russian-invasion.jpg?fit=680%2C454\"},\"articleSection\":\"Bitcoin\",\"author\":[{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Christian Encila\"}],\"creator\":[\"Christian Encila\"],\"publisher\":{\"@type\":\"Organization\",\"name\":\"NewsBTC\",\"logo\":\"https:\\\/\\\/wncen.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2020\\\/06\\\/cropped-cropped-cropped-favicon.png?w=32\"},\"keywords\":[\"bitcoin\",\"crypto\",\"ethereum\",\"russia\",\"ukraine\"],\"dateCreated\":\"2022-02-17T13:07:39Z\",\"datePublished\":\"2022-02-17T13:07:39Z\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-06-11T14:11:37Z\"}<\/script>","tracker_url":"https:\/\/cdn.parsely.com\/keys\/wncen.com\/p.js"},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Russian-invasion.jpg?fit=680%2C454","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483938","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/557"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=483938"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483938\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/483940"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=483938"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=483938"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=483938"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
