5 big developments I expect until 2030, and a shuffle of delegations
Dear Hiveans,
as I‘m in vacation right now, today just a short post about 5 surprising developments I expect in the coming years.
- Collapse of Russia: Russia’s economy will crater, their banks implode, its military will retreat from Ukraine, Putinism will end and rebellions of minorities (Chechens, Tatars, Bashkirs, ...) will erupt. Here an interesting quote from Milan Kundera‘s „A Kidnapped West“ that I‘m currently reading:
Central Europe, according to Palacký, ought to be a family of equal nations, each of which—treating the others with mutual respect and secure in the protection of a strong, unified state—would also cultivate its own individuality. And this dream, although never fully realized, would remain powerful and influential. Central Europe longed to be a condensed version of Europe made up of nations conceived according to one rule: the greatest variety within the smallest space. How could Central Europe not be horrified facing a Russia founded on the opposite principle: the smallest variety within the greatest space?
Indeed, nothing could be more foreign to Central Europe and its passion for variety than Russia: uniform, standardizing, centralizing, determined to transform every nation of its empire (the Ukrainians, the Belarusians, the Armenians, the Latvians, the Lithuanians, and others) into a single Russian people (or, as is more commonly expressed in this age of generalized verbal mystification, into a “single Soviet people”).
- China's slump into insignificance: this may start either by an ill-adviced war on Taiwan, by a financial meltdown (China = Enron x 200) or by a slower demography-induced descent of consumption and production, or a rebellion against the CCP with unforeseeable consequences...
- Bitcoin's take over as the pristine collateral of the economy, which decreases demand for US Treasuries. This may be a bumpy road, but you cannot achieve the role as global money without leaving the beaten path.
- Nuclear renaissance: new nuclear companies will expand electricity production by nuclear reactors by multiple times, thus generating economies of scale, cheap, reliable and clean energy. The irresponsible and mass-murdering political decisions (more on that in a separate post) to phase out nuclear energy since the 1970s will - finally - be reversed. (News from today: https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/climate-energy/world-bank-end-ban-nuclear-energy-projects-still-debating-upstream-gas-2025-06-11/)
- Revival of Christianity / Catholicism: we habe a new Pope (the tariffs are working so good - even the Pope was made in America), after Francis‘ underwhelming „performance“ (according to Peter Thiel, Pope Francis is the strongest argument against Catholicism). With increasing problems in the world and people realizing the nihilism of the last decades and the vanity / emptiness of woke ideology, the spreading insecurity concerning the truth in news due to AI, irresponsible media, etc., people will search for deep, metaphysical and eternal truths.
Delegations
On another note, I'd like to shuffle my existing outgoing delegations.
Dear @amberkashif, @rammargarita, @ladytitan, @imacryptogeek, @swammy1109, @cindy911, @kristowe, @jellyvine, @mviews, @ibbtammy
After 2.5 years I would halve the existing delegations to 1000 HP.
Dear @celf.magazine, @mipiano, @dungeondog, @r0nny, @lauramica, @vvgm,
After 4.5 years I would cancel the existing delegations.
I thank you very much for your support of our Hive community and wish you all the best. Hive on!
Furthermore @all I'd like to make some new delegations. So I'd be glad if you can recommend ambitious Hive newbies who would employ a delegation diligently.
Have a great day,
zuerich
Memes…
… nothing to regulate for the European Union 🥹🙈
Such bold and thought-provoking predictions! I especially found the points about Russia's potential collapse and Bitcoin's growing role in the economy fascinating. It's clear that major geopolitical and economic shifts are ahead. Thanks for sharing your insights — and respect for being consistent with delegations over the years! Looking forward to seeing who the next generation of Hive creators will be.
Hello Zuerich. Thank you so much for your delegation all these years. It's been with me almost since I started working at Hive, and that unwavering trust was very important ❣️. Thank you again.
For a new delegation, I don't know many newbie users, and on the contrary, I'd like to recommend @jlufer, one of the oldest users I know here. I recently had the opportunity to meet him during one of my trips to Argentina (he and his wife hosted me at their home for a few days). He's an extremely kind person, and his enthusiasm for Hive is admirable.
I recommend this user for the delegation because I think he deserves it, for all his commitment day in and day out, and because I feel that sometimes all his work doesn't get enough visibility or recognition. I hope you can consider him :-)
Cheers 😀!
Good evening @zuerich
Thank you very much for all these years of your delegation; it helped me a lot when my account was much smaller. Danke, and I hope you are having a nice vacation! 🌞😇
Pope Francis’s death didn’t sit well with a lot of people, so many rumors and controversy around it. If the new Pope can bring clarity and strength, maybe more people will find their way back to faith. (I'm a catholic.)
It's been a while
Hope you're enjoying your vacation.
Not a newbie, but still hustling like one 😅 Wouldn’t say no to a little delegation love too.
Either way, love that you’re supporting the active newbies here, it would help retain them.
I'm not familiar with many newbies tho, but I'll recommend someone soon.
Thank you so much for the delegation. I'm still here and enjoying it.☺️
I very much appreciate your delegation and hope you're having a fun-filled vacation. Thank you 🙏🏼
There is a high chance that Russia implode after Putin death.
Maybe that is the Event that will help Ukraine win the war if it is not ended by the time.
!LOL

@zuerich, I sent you an $LOLZ on behalf of holovision
(5/10)
Gunten tag, Dear @zuerich !
I hope you enjoy your current vacation!
What happens to Russia's nuclear weapons if it collapses?
I guess if China collapses, Chinese refugees will scatter all over the world and cause international problems!
I agree with you!
I believe that the US dollar will have absolute value as an international currency!
Do you think that a unification of Roman Catholicism and Protestantism is possible?
Danke, gut!
These are amazing news
I know Bitcoin will do great but I don’t know if people will leave the US treasury
For the newbie who I know would use the delegation well. There is a new account that runs a community named @comedyclubhouse and if not that, for a person, I would recommend @mandrelmykels @beautyme
Okay
@pavick1011 has been putting in great effort, both here and on X, I believe he truly deserves the delegation.
I’d also like to recommend @ritaetim and @tigrace.
I’ve reviewed their profiles, they seem quite ambitious and committed.
Thank you darling. I really appreciate your support.
Thanks you so much dear.
Keep up with your good woks
Thank you for the support
Hello @zuerich I can’t thank you enough for the delegation and your support all the way. Thanks for trusting me with your Hive power all these years. I’ll forever be grateful to you🙏
I recommend @amiegeoffrey @fredaa @funshee @seunruth and @sam.hangout for the delegation. They are powerful Hiveans and I know they’d use the delegation well.
Have an amazing vacation🥰
Thanks for the mention Ibb
Hope I'm lucky enough tho to get the delegation... I'll really appreciate.
Awww 🥰 sweet Ibb❣️ thank you so much for your recommendation.
Thank you so much @ibbtammy for the recommendation, I really appreciate, it will be an honor to get this delegation❣️
I have been very grateful to you for trusting me with your delegation. It helped me grow on the platform. I hope it will now go to others who deserve it
Hello, @zuerich Hope you’re getting the rest and space you need on vacation. If Russia’s breaking up, maybe we’re just seeing a geopolitical fail.... I recommend @wongi and @kristabel123 for the HP delegation..... Wongi’s building a community, so the delegation can help grow it, and Kristy’s new but trying to bring value. Both deserve support. And thanks for what you're doing for hive.
Thank you 😊
Thank you very much Ruthie dearest😊
Thank you dearly for giving back to the community in such a massive way.
@lecia89 is a passionate newbie and she can really use your delegation.
Thank you so much @funshee for the recommendation, It will be an honor to get the delegation
As for BTC in US, I think it'll continue to be in demand, and it makes sense for people to want to choose it over stock or Treasury, the FOMO that drives adoption get higher, and even getting to some all time highs every bull market, it's why it's inevitable that BTC will hit a million dollars, maybe not this cycle, but next cycle.
As for the delegation, you can check out @takhar, he's a great hive user and a wonderful content creator, and he's been building his stake as well, and he's a great candidate.
Also, check out @davideownzall as well.
Thank you for the mention!!
You're welcome, hope he sees the comment, and you get it
Thank you so much for the mention, it really means a lot coming from you :)
You're welcome, I hope he considers
Hi @zuerich! This is awesome. I got recommended, so I got to see this post. You delegate all this HP for years. That's incredible. I run a hangout for the nigerian community, where every weekend we discuss and the top engagers gets rewarded with this account. It would be lovely if we can get your support via delegation.
This might affect bitcoin price because the US and regulations makes it very difficult and I don't see how its going to hold up for years. Even if i want it to.
Exactly! If the future is Bitcoin, then it has to fight for the future itself.
Have a lovely vacation and share some pictures with us (maybe). Followed you on my main account @samostically, Danke fürs Lese
Thank You for the delegation so far. I'm grateful always
yea! Go Trump! :P
what a genius way to keep the electric from getting in the water! 😜😄✌️

Hi @zuerich,
Enjoy your vacation!
I looked at participants in the two communities I curate (Inkwell and LMAC) to come up with a couple of names, for delegation recommendation.
One name is @terjix. She writes stories for the Inkwell. Has a 'clean' record, as far as I can see. Her writing is good, and often she has something to say. Also, she comments on the writings of others, which I find to be healthy for Hive.
A second name is @gabmr. This blogger participates in both the Inkwell and in LMAC. He writes interesting stories and creates interesting collages. He also seems to be supportive of other bloggers.
Good luck in finding worthy delegatees.
