russia is moving to cryptocurrencies

But billionaire oligarchs close to Russian President Vladimir Putin could potentially blunt the effects of the sanctions thanks to cryptocurrency, according to experts.

The decentralized nature of digital currencies like bitcoin and ethereum allows governments and non-governmental entities alike the benefit of peer-to-peer transactions — regardless of whether they are cut off from traditional banking services.

Okay, I just wanna leave one kind of positive thought here before I go to bed:

I have hope that some of the sanctions imposed on Russia could weaken Putin‘s influence a little. If I understand correctly many countries are not imposing sanctions on Putin himself but on the rich Russian oligarchs, which means they‘re probably gonna lose billions of dollars in the future, and as we all know - the richer the greedier. Putin is mingling with all those billionaires who now are potentially gonna lose a shit ton of money because of his stupid war. They are all very patriotic but maybe, just maybe, if they lose enough money they could make him stop. You don‘t wanna piss off the richest people in your country.

 

And with that I wish everybody a good night (/day) and hope I‘m gonna wake up tomorrow realizing that all of this was just a nightmare…

gonna spoiler this because this is (potentially) a controversial opinion that (potentially) not many agree with - plus it's a hypothetical situation and a off-handed comment that probably won't happen and i'm not intending to insult anyone affected by this

 

Spoiler

if we all got rid of money, we wouldn't have to worry about this

also this is clearly evidence that having a unitary state that is so far right and authoritarian like russia is will not end up benefiting the people in any way

nor will having a far left authoritarian state like the soviet union was because clearly stalin didn't succeed either
