Russia is stretched in this context because of the naval base and how isolated it suddenly is.
Russia is a hair away from losing a Mediterranean Sea base which would be difficult to supply without cutting a deal with whoever controls Syria.
It would be incredibly foolish to trade away the immense advantage of the dollar for a speculative and finite asset like bitcoin
The Roman Empire didn’t benefit from debasing its currency either but it did and the warring generals era was disastrous but it happened because each general was looking out for themselves rather than for the empire overall.
The empire isn’t actually a monolith. There are many oligarchs and while their interests largely align, it’s a Venn diagram. If one set of players benefit from undermining the dollar in favor of bitcoin then they’ll do it for their personal benefit even if that weakens the structure as a whole.
Maybe the bankers will fight this and maybe they’ll beat the tech bros but maybe they don’t and the tech bros use crypto to steal power from the bankers. Even if that weakens the power of the empire overall, that still equates to more power for the tech bros themselves so worthwhile for them.
I think it’s partly a result of pre-communist ideologies and the period of Japanese occupation leaving a cultural mark that profoundly normalized the practice, the idea of the nation as a family which “naturally” has a kindly patriarch, and then this idea got synthesized with Leninism.

The day the bourgeois music got what it deserved
It’s Ukraine’s battle of the bulge moment. This is their last strong punch and it isn’t nearly enough. It’s joever.
