Some short stories, some ideas, some movies, some events, have the real power to make the world stop: either through the lack of response, whether through the capture of observation or the shock of lack/loss of future perspective.
The world in question may or may not be geographical, it may be mental, it may be regional, it may be physical, it may be your home or even spiritual.

In 1951, in a film of rare brilliance and after only 6 years after the end of the war, with a global environment of increasing tensions between ideological blocs and in the midst of the reconstruction of Europe, "The Day the Earth Stood Still" is about a extraordinary event: an alien lands, without hiding, to pass a message to the people of the earth.
A comma: the movie with Keanu Reeves, in 2008, is so bad, when compared to the original that it is not worth mentioning, but just one observation: the one from 1951 does not use any computational effects in favor of acting and the one from 2008, on the contrary, computational effects disfavor acting and the concept of the film, alias, like everything that has been done remake, nowadays.

Back in the original movie, the alien wants to talk to Earth's leaders. The craft landed in the United States, but not in New York - where the then insipid UNO was. Parked in Washington and, therefore, as cultural propaganda, this country stands as a world leader! (Of course, in 1951, by the Marshall plan, the USA was actually financing the reconstruction of Europe and was in the lead in the clash with the USSR)

The brilliant sequence, showing the rush of judgment and wrong decision making, which is quite common when we do not know situations and people, combined with various prejudgments and prejudices leads the alien to declare the Earth stop, to demonstrate what humans do they were getting into it, in fact.

A feature of this film is the coientist who, like a symphony, composes an mathematical equation with the alien and, in the meantime, the alien seems to say that we are not that handy and not that late.

In another feature, there is the Robo that protects the ship: In a logical coolness of carrying out orders, veiled criticism of newly created computers (ENIAC, 1947, came into operation, to the astonishment of many and with a negative perspective that the automatons would take jobs , for example), can only be stopped when its supposed master speaks the commands: Klaatu barada nikto, something, in the sound of Latin, like "Robo, go to sleep".

Surprisingly, the film suggests that, in order to protect the alien, the robot subjects him to a special probation - another critique of the world that was being shaped! - because when the alien is injured, the robot enters the mode: die all!

Interestingly, when several short stories want to give moral lessons, or expose social contradictions, the best writers use an external, extra-problem agent (in this case, the alien is not part of the earth) to demonstrate the contradictions and propose solutions.

In the case of this film, the conclusion is left to the viewer. Each one, within their reality, takes the lesson they want, within this film so comprehensive.

Basically, the same thing happened when bitcoin collapsed - and it will drop further in the coming weeks, so that it stabilizes and returns more modest gains! - and made it evaporate, in the same way that the robot's radius made the armor disappear, almost all the gains of 6 months.

The earth stopped! And in this last month there is a whole confrontation, a whole hunt for explanations, a whole wailing of people who should have withdrawn their position at the fall signals.

Exposing the contradiction that nothing goes up forever. Will bitcoin recover? Reinforcement, will you? It will recover gains, but never again at fast levels, nor in the percentage of promised gains.

Anyone who has patience and wisdom will be able to recover a good part of what he lost in the year. For quick wins, almost everyone is looking for another crypto-bubble.

In 2008, in the USA, it happened just the same in the monetary bubble: fast rises, fabulous gains. The bubble burst and the world almost stopped...but in this case regionally.

No bitcoin bubble burst, it's worldwide!

If before the euphoria made caution fly out the window, even because the profile of crypto-currency investors is 15 to 30 years old, impetuous young people who like to live dangerously to get rich quickly - it is the current pressure of society, to get rich without work, just moving currency back and forth...typical of speculation, today caution has returned in full force, bringing a little friend: distrust.

For those who expect the bull to leave the stables soon, remember that the bear is still out there. We are in a time of congestion, where the charts suggest a line of stability and losses much greater than the lines of gain. Check out the volumes, the trend graphs and, if you like, the Elliot Waves theory.

The earth stopped that day and is moving very slowly again. At the speed of before? No longer.

Furthermore, without the support of the traditional financial system, which leveraged part of the euphoria, replacing stock assets with bitcoin assets and the production system that was moving in the same direction, bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies lacked financial volume, in addition, they lacked financial confidence so there won't be big losses again.

This is what is happening in every cryptocurrency system: rearrangement and recomposition!

The success of this new financial model will depend, contrary to those who preach a rupture in the traditional financial system, on the whole real part of the world, on the real financial and productive part. They are the ones who lost the most... they are the ones who bet on this new proposal!

If cryptocurrencies would be the alien bringing the message, the traditional system is the robot watching over and controlling that freedom!

Klaatu barada nikto for you!
