why not? plenty of reasons..most obvious is I dont know many foolish enough to sell their coin at a price much lower than currently observed.... most certainly not around here anyway
However, I do know the road both ways are much closer than they appear. An all out ground war between Russia and NATO...or something more calamitous occurring could easily drive the price within that range. Even a protracted conflict between Ukraine and Russia will have noticeable effects I think.

-idle thoughts that have taken me quite some time to sort thru-How did this come to be I sit and wonder... Warfare changed somewhere...some might say it was August 6th, 1945..some December 2nd, 1942 or maybe it was November 8th, 1895..
Nuclear weapons
I mean we have to talk about it right? This fucking madman is sitting over there right now with his finger on the button.
How and why have we come to a place where we threaten and hold hostage the entire population of this planet? Yes... ALL OF US.
Seriously we need to get a handle on this right fucking now. Someone who Putin trusts needs to step in and say dude..walk this back man...just walk it back. What ever you think you need or want from the West can be worked out another way.
Or...he needs to be put down..because I dont think the guy will step down.
The reality of what is needed.
The 3.5% Rule
https://carrcenter.hks.harvard.edu/publications/35-rule-how-small-minority-can-change-worldhttps://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190513-it-only-takes-35-of-people-to-change-the-worldIn each case, civil resistance by ordinary members of the public trumped the political elite to achieve radical change.
Quite extraordinarily..nonviolent movements prove the most successful.
Looking at hundreds of campaigns over the last century, Chenoweth found that nonviolent campaigns are twice as likely to achieve their goals as violent campaigns. And although the exact dynamics will depend on many factors, she has shown it takes around 3.5% of the population actively participating in the protests to ensure serious political change.
That would be
5,111,332 people in Russia and
277,556,216 people globally.
Can we do this as a species? Can enough people stand up and say enough is enough! Another filter...a keyhole to pass through.
Its not just in Russia..its in the United States, the EU, India..China...its global and needs to be brought to heel. The nation states and autocrats who use fear, death and destruction to foster compliance from the general population. These cartels of weapons industry that perpetuate the seeds of war.
The last thing Ukraine needs right now is more guns, planes and bombs. It needs the people of Russia to realise they have been duped again by the political elite.
It needs Peace.
apologise if this is disjointed or filled with half formed thoughts...got a pretty good buzz going too.
