“would fly in the face of the reason why crypto exists.”
Why yes, we already know it’s about money laundering. Doesn’t mean that liberal democracies have to accept it.

Let’s not forget the iconic ending to that 1929 classic, under-appreciated film, Tears of Love:
(Ok, technically it was a film-within-a-film from The Artist and was actually made in 2011. And a bit anachronistic)

FWIW, the dollar has also gained a couple of percent over the euro in the last couple of days.
I suppose one could use pounds to handle the exchange between rubles and dollars. As in, a pound of 100 ruble notes to the dollar.1

FWIW, it’s also Woody Allen’s original name.
Born Allen Stewart Konigsberg on December 1, 1935, in Brooklyn, New York, actor, director and screenwriter Woody Allen legally changed his name to Heywood Allen when he was 17 years old.

This is the second time I’ve seen this joke today and I just don’t get it. I know that the ruble has tanked against the dollar but I’m feeling rather dense about the humor here. Could you (or anyone else) help a guy out?
x - y = x
∴ y = 0
If the difference between a dollar and a ruble is a dollar, then the ruble is equal to zero. QED.
(Yeah, sure, OK, it might be that a ruble equals two dollars, but nobody would believe that.)

Awesome, thank you. Typically when someone in a joke asks for the difference between items (a banjo and a lawn mower, for instance) it’s a totally different joke. Thanks for the explanation!
