Crypto is popular enough in Russia that I'm optimistic Putin might lose control of his money supply forever.

Crypto is popular enough in Russia

Why haven't I heard of that before?

I'm not sure but it is a thing. Russians have historically valued currencies other than their own.

When I was young I was lucky enough to visit Russia just after the fall of the USSR and we were told to bring US dollars and only exchange them daily.

Over ten days there was about 10% in the difference from start to finish.

Because crypto bros will tell you any lies they can to scam you into buying crypto.

I don't know what that link is aiming to say

I assume your point is that people in a failed economy are more susceptible to scammers. No argument.

My point was stated literally. You're imagining things.

Or manipulating your words to fit my meaning :)

Also you asked a kinda vague rhetorical question, it wouldn't be so easy to manipulate your words if they were actually clear.

His rhetorical question was about you, but your response was about the link. If completely avoiding to answer the actual question being asked is considered manipulating words, then no question can be worded in a way that is hard to manipulate. Or maybe you're just trying to avoid admitting to your mistake.
