- Russia’s Central Bank has decided that retail investors are too stupid to handle the full crypto buffet, so they’re serving only Bitcoin, Ether, and USDT. Because nothing says "financial innovation" like a government-mandated whitelist. They claim this prioritizes stability; I call it bureaucratic cowardice wrapped in regulatory fear. While the moonboys scream about censorship, the state is just building a walled garden for the compliant. It’s not adoption, it’s containment. If you want to trade altcoins, go to the black market or wait until the regulators get bored. Until then, enjoy your limited menu. The future of finance is here, and it’s boring as hell.
