> is that why Russia is blasting it off the internet? What are the chances a government (and a Russian government of them all!) would not only actually understand cryptocurrencies, but also have some solid strategy regarding those? Some governments are maybe close to this, but in overall - I'd say, chances are quite low. Nah, it's just that FSB want to be able to either read messages or kill the non-cooperating service. Or, if we take another theory, they want to make to make an impression the service is extremely uncooperative and they absolutely can't read any messages. Either of those is much simpler and plausible than a conspiracy to ban some token that doesn't even exist yet.
