You don't pay attention to the "politics" part, so I don't expect you to understand, that's why you always talk about normal people dealing with crypto. Is that plan normal to you?
You simply do not understand how some things work in the world, that's why you think a country like Russia would just open an exchange that only very rich people can participate in. Have you seen any country doing that, ever before? The problem with many of you is that you don't read between the lines.
Politics? Russia has a president who runs the country with strict dictatorship measures and no freedom in anything. He can do whatever in his country at any time without considering or listening to anyone. He had already started a war. So he decided (nowhere is written) to open an exchanger for some elite people. What do you read between the lines that all the others can't? Where is the politics on this?
There you go again, you just can't understand a simple analogy.
Who is talking about Putin's dictatorship and iron-fisted rulership? I'm talking about his internal agenda to continue to move money around freely in the name of crypto exchange and be able to decrease the effect of Western sanctions on him, his country and his cronies. That's why I said you couldn't read between the lines. Imagine asking where is the politics...hahaha, you're too funny.
