VitalikButerin Please make the best Russian rubble stablecoin

Thanks you veryy much_,, njfwb

It needs a bridge currency to link all stablecoins in one ledger that has to be public in order to maintain a fairer economy

People there can't even use usdt freely

Everything could change, depend on what you do today. You gotta live with each decision that you chose to make⚡✨

does the word stable confuse them or something? tether is the least risky asset i have lmao

Risky as syfilis.

To them or us? 😂
