Cryptocurrency is not even considered as the only means of saving Russia, the friends who live there are generally quite calm for such a situation. When I tried to clarify the reason for their calmness, they told me that the country has a very small external debt, good macroeconomic indicators, large reserves, and most importantly, the population supports Putin. Therefore, there will be no internal unrest, much less a revolution, for sure. The only thing that is unpleasant is the increase in prices in stores. (But where are store prices not rising today?)
So does it mean that all those sanctions intended for Russia won't even affect its own economy? And that there will be no huge effects on the citizens of Russia? If that's the case, Putin must have been preparing this war for a long time now that he assured everyone not to panic and stay calm. But in my honest opinion, those sanctions are definitely heavy and could mean long lasting effects on the state that will be sanctioned. So im sorry but its quite hard for me to believe that. And with regards to crypto, it has no super power to save Russia from its dooming economy. Crypto can only be the best tool to divert fiat into crypto and be your own bank. But how can they access their wealth if its also been part of the sanctions? I guess we'll find out the real answers if we are in their shoes.
