Arent you bothered by the crazy volatility? And doge seems to never be able to catch up with the other coins as it has unlimitted mining capacity. I did buy some once and sold it higher but would never want to hold onto it. Maybe im missing out
Good, I'm skeptical of country-wide sanctions as the more I learn about them the more it seems they hurt the civilians more than they push the leaders but I'm all for anything target directly at their military (the people responsible for the coup). The history of Burma/Myanmar and the reason for why the military staged a coup is very sad, I know the elected leader had/has her own problems but this was clearly a move to take back power when they saw it slipping through their grasp after the last election (and the fact their current military is facing a term/age limit). Prior to the coup the military has a special provision that gave them 25% of the seats in their cabinet/parliament which gave them a pretty decent hold but with the most recent elections they could have been overruled.

And General Min Aung Hlaing’s personal ambitions were dashed. He still “needed something to guarantee his legacy, his liberty and his family wealth,” says a Western diplomat based in Yangon. But, denied the presidency, “He didn’t have a plan B.”

One billion dollars would be a nice seed fund for a family office.
