No offense but this situation could end my life and yours at any moment....the 2 most powerful countries in the world at each others throat is not good.

all it takes is 1 trigger happy fuck to start WW3    WW1 started with the death of 1 person WW3 could be no different.

Hope all is resolved.

Assuming they are out to kill each other and will follow the MAD doctrine
Else business as usual and the reality is that Visa and Mastercard's operations in Russia can be severely hindered at any time in the future by US sanctions so alternatives will emerge.
Topic remains relevant

It is laughable to even say that Russia will suddenly adopt the Bitcoin services as a counter to the sanctions from the US and the EU. Russia has cracked down heavily on the use of Bitcoins in its territory, forcing many of the minor exchanges to close down.

True enough but things change with time anyways still curious what they would deviate towards besides making their own Visa etc.
