In fact this article perfectly sums up my thoughts on the Ukraine-Russia situation. VERY MUCH worth reading IMHO.

Taking things up a notch, Putin officially decreed that, as of April 1st, 2022, Russia will only accept rubles, gold, or bitcoin as payment for energy exports to “unfriendly” countries.

Bitcoin? I didn't realize bitcoin was so reliable as to make it onto a list like this.

Bitcoin is outside of the grasp of the Fed, it's good enough.
