It's just the official rate. there's no way a nation at war not having their currency hammered. that goes for rubles as well. but their wealth don't vanish by 25%, a "weak" currency is good for export/economy
In March 2020, bitcoin lost 46% overnight..
I remember!!!
So glad I dumped all my BTC at $8,000 right before that happened!! I'll buy back when the bitcoin exchange rate stops being so damn volatile!!!
