        If I’m reading it correctly, then Russia is on 7th place by crypto transactions(?) in GDP by PPP per capita over all, but most of it is not used for buying stuff from some big entity. I can guess it is used mostly to get money from(or to) the country.

        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.

            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.

                I genuinely don’t know what point you’re trying to make. What mistake? Good for me, you’re a cryptobro so I really don’t need to care at all about you.

                  Literally never even owned any crypto nor even trusted anyone who talked about them. But what else can you do other than feign ignorance and accuse everyone else of being a cryptobro?

                  Maybe if you had any idea what you’re talking about, you wouldn’t be so confused this far into a comment thread and wouldn’t have made the initial mistake of claiming something that was so easily debunked.

                  Your jump in logic really mirrors what I see in those cryptobros you hate so much. Just the sheer blind belief in something that you don’t even bother to fact check shit before sharing it with other people.
