I wonder if that's why COIN took another shit today...
COIN moves with BTC, it seems. BTC dropped quite a bit since yesterday.
Why it moves with BTC, exactly, I dunno. COIN is a money making machine - huge commissions and the BTC volatility only drives the trading.
On edit: Ah I see. This kind of stuff:

It seems, what world war III has taught me, is all this shit about crypto's central theme of being de-centralized is all a load of bs. If countries can still ban it and cut off all on/off ramps (even into other countries), it kinda defeats the whole point of crypto...
I imagine Binance & Coin are on very limited time before the West closes in on them and dictates what accounts can be used (at best). Worst case scenario, is these exchanges get shut down completely.

Binance already didn't allow US users. It's no big deal if it doesn't allow Russian users now.
terr, how do you feel about this?
I feel that Russia has to be isolated from the world. At all costs. Whatever craters their economy is good. This is not politics. This is way beyond politics. Rabid dogs have to be isolated.
They have an offramp. If they topple Putin, blame it all on him, withdraw troops immediately, apologize profusely and pay reparations to Ukraine, they can be join the civilized world again.
Until then, let them stew in their own filth. Make your own routers. Good luck.
The head of Aeroflot quit his job and left Russia.
After Russia passed the law that criminalizes (15 years in prison!) independent reporting, Bloomberg is withdrawing all its journalists from the country.
Two more oligarch's yachts have been confiscated in Italy. A Duma delegate's villa in Italy has been confiscated as well. Hope they are sold and proceeds sent to Ukraine either for rebuilding or for weapons.
Bellingcat (bellingcat.com) - one of the more respected investigative journalism organizations says that
1. Ukrainian reporting about Russian losses in the war is quite believable and
2. The resources that Russia prepared for conducting the warfare in Ukraine are almost exhausted and will last until March 6th. After that they are calling it a "logistical nightmare".

Looks like them Oligarch yachts have started to turn off their AIS (which is illegal) in order to avoid justice.
Wonder if their villas will turn off their AIS as well.
