Tron was the most obvious shitcoin in 2017 already. Justin Sun announcing announcements was a common meme back then. John McAfee was promoting it. It is astounding that some people still take this obvious joke serious.
This was more or less my impression on reading the article. Events have revealed that most of crypto is made up of playthings and pseudo-scams, but this article takes it really seriously.

So you close Putin's and a couple of other credit cards and let everyone else continue a normal life? Maybe fairer to some individuals (like those already acting in opposition), but certainly a completely ineffective sanction.
This is the first time in the history of humanity that the country leaders can be bypassed and money could be sent peer-to-peer between geographies. There is just no precedent to this (you can't send gold / USD bills on the borders, and when there are banks involved, the leaders could always stop it).
"Hawala as a legal concept came to be described as early as 1327, according to Schramm and Taube,[5][6] though the actual practice has existed since the 8th century [...]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawala

Russia is committing to a genocidal war, this is why they have sanctions against them. They are literally state-sponsors of terrorism and they're funding privately operated terrorist groups. Rapes, murders, destruction of civilian infrastructure, it's all well documented.

While your comment style is a bit aggressive you have a point: Bush and Blair would belong into an international court for starting an attack war, just like Putin. My personal "sanctions" to the US are that I don't travel there anymore. I visited the country around 2 dozens times and I mostly liked it. But after 9/11 only twice and now not for nearly 12 years. 2 Bushs, homeland security, Manning/Assange/Snowden, and…
Biden is nothing like Obama. He is an old timer who has zero mental cognitive ability beyond trying to save his son's investments in Ukraine.
China is planning to drop USD with Gulf countries today. and the US power rests on USD.
Future us will look upon Biden's era & foolishness as the death of American hegemony.
What is the purpose of “stable” coins? If you want a thing that is worth a dollar, why not just use dollars? Or use Belize dollars. They’re worth $0.50 by law and have no instability issues.

We’re not making the world a better place here, folks. Good effort, but no. Let’s stop now.
I would actually be surprised if the whole crypto ecosystem isn’t going to implode soon. The thing is that it doesn’t create any value, it’s all a game of musical chairs. I don’t care VCs holding the bags, but I do care about the retail “investors” that were naive. (I don’t care about the hfsp bros). In a few years we will look back at the crypto space and we wonder why nobody intervened like nobody intervened with M…
Crypto is the only reliable way to pay contractors in Russia now. Saying "no real value" is quite stretch!
Such a cruel joke from mother Nature putting all those natural resources in the hands of a nation and people so unworthy.
Cryptocurrency, as a thing, just needs to go away. How many people have to lose their life savings before we admit a bad idea? All so that NK can pay for nukes, people can buy drugs and extort people on the internet. We’re not making the world a better place here, folks. Good effort, but no. Let’s stop now.
