Sorry chum, but if people in Ukraine holding Russian passports are being used to justify a war against Ukraine then anyone holding a Russian passport must be held accountable for what is taking place in their name.

The message here is that if you live outside of Russia and you claim Russian citizenship then it’s time to go home.

Why give Pidor Putin an excuse to invade any other country with a significant Russian population? It’s far safer to round these people up and deport them to Russia. Then Pooty-poot won’t have an excuse to invade.

Anything they can to Russians they can do to you.

That is a guarantee.

I personally don’t care. Right now I want the accursed Russian army OUT of Ukraine. All of it. Including Crimea.

And they can take their Russian citizens with them.

Virtue signaling is all fun and games—until you are one of the victims.

Invading and stealing someone else’s country is all fun and games until your victims start killing your gangster army.

“What were hacked were exchanges, not crypto currency itself.”

Semantics.

What was it people lost? Did they lose an exchange or did they lose Crypto?

Those tourists were vicious killers and need to be punished.

They’re Russian so your premise is entirely plausible.

Was the crypto hacked as was initially claimed or was it the exchanges as I said?

That’s not a crypto problem. It happens with fiat currency too. That’s a hacking issue

You can visit Thailand very cheaply. Stay in a plain jane hotel or airbnb and eat food from street vendors. It is very delicious.

Did people lose “money”?

Yes.

The rest is semantics.

was CRYPTO hacked? NO. Exchanges were. As I said from the start. That is the same for fiat currency. That is not a crypto problem. That is a hacking problem.

Can you have a Crypto market without exchanges?

No.

So it doesn’t matter. Semantics.

You're trying to call a hacking problem a crypto problem. They are not the same thing. Hacking happens to fiat exchanges and business as well.

Hacking an exchange is a Crypto problem.

No one is saying fiat currency “can’t be hacked”.
