Blockchain and Crypto are fairly useless in areas with reliable currency. The Ruble is a garbage currency and so, it's entirely feasible that the stated advantages/benefits of something like BTC really do add up in a place like Russia. But I'm not sure BTC is the solution, or that there are really any solutions as of yet.

As for 'meaning something bad' and not being sure about it, why would you even respond? It's just a discussion board. Nothing we say here is important, it's not worth a glancing though to contemplate if someone somewhere on a comment section may or may not have meant something ill mannered towards someone else.

And in all self awareness, I have no clue on earth why I am downvoted, usually in retrospect it's obvious, but when discussing 'Bitcoin' one can never really tell (not that it matters).

Ah, interesting! I usually only hear about crypto/blockchain in a negative context (new XYZ-coins that are pre-mined, environmental impact, plugged into games for new microtransactions, etc), so it's interesting to hear about a potentially legitimate use case.

To be bluntly honest, I responded because I thought you might be advocating for violence against someone entirely based on their nationality |OR| that I completely misunderstood what your comment was about (which I definitely did here; sorry for interpreting your message the wrong way).

Even with it just being a discussion board, I would really regret not at least leaving a comment asking for clarification. I'm glad I did in this case, as I turned out to be completely wrong :)

Because everyone thought you were trolling with a dog whistle: “We need something (a bomb?) for you (Russia)”.

Who on planet earth would think that?

I mean, I'm cynical but I couldn't even fathom that even in retrospect.

At least 4 other people think that, judging by the upvotes

Such as?
