Rubles are now backed by gold and the Rubles to USD ratio is quickly rising to pre-war levels. Anyone wanna gamble a little?
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
So like, is it time to buy Rubles to make some cash?

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

How you supposed to buy Rubles with the sanctions blocking it?
How you supposed to buy Rubles via FOREX when you have to buy blocks of 10,000 at minimum? Which, right now, this morning would require $7000.00 cash to do?

Betting on Russia to come out of this better than the USA?
Sounds foolish.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I took a 15% hit to my portfolio by trying to knife-catch Russia this last go-round. Of course, I'd been successful a few times in the past, so I basically gave back those winnings. 
Fortunately, cannabis is about to explode, and I got in early..
I don't think I'd touch Russia for a long time - and that includes the dyevs.

The Gov will step in on Bitcoin and any Crypto as well. People are going to get a rude awakening who think they are safe with it. Just ask the Canadian Truckers. Actually the Canadian Truckers should have used Rubles,...the Gov may have had a harder time getting in the way.

This is how black markets are born. In the soviet union, alcohol was used as an alternative currency from everything from buying cigarettes to houses. And then alcoholism went on to basically destroy the country.
But the moral of the story is that people will find a way around any kind of stupid regulation a government puts into place. There are already platforms out there like telegram which are decentralized and built around privacy. These will probably be the wave of the future since what is now old-school internet has just become another giant corporate hell hole.

Read up about a telegram a bit more. It's not decentralized nor built around privacy. The owners have a plain text copy of every message ever sent.

Any app that wants traceable information to create an account is a problem. Telegram requires your cell number that is text-able to create the account and uses the phone number as your "log in". Your cell phone is intrinsically tied to you (and your bank account if using autopay) via your phone service provider (and Google or Apple) and your phone is a means to know exactly where you are and what your travel patterns are via the GPS in the phone.
Interesting that "Multi-Factor Authentication" that is supposed to be so amazingly secure more often than not uses your cell phone. Yes, yes, that makes it hard from someone else to fake themselves as you,...but it is horrible from a privacy perspective.
I just work in technology,...doesn't mean I trust the technology,... or who/what is behind it "pulling the levers".

No. In FOREX you have to "buy" (or "sell") in blocks, with the minimum block size being 10,000.
