    My conspiracy theory is that BTC took off because Russia used as a tool to avoid sanctions. If you look at a chart the timeline matches up and they have had sizeable crypto holdings.

      Oh 100% agreed. Also no surprise that the likes of Musk and Russia have heavily promoted, defended, and relied upon encrypted communications like Telegram, WhatsApp, Signal, etc.

      My conspiracy theory is Rand Paul hand-delivered a key to Putin when he flew to Moscow.
