    Let’s say some crazy person decided to just go and buy, let’s say, a million rubles, just for the sake of saying they’re a millionaire.

    It is on a sinking course but it will eventually recover value. If time was of no concern, wouldn’t that person eventually make something out of it?

      That’s a pretty bold assumption.

        The war that country triggered is the work of a dictator but the country itself does not deserve obliteration.

          The civilians don’t deserve it but their mafia state and its institutions definitely do.

      If your goal is to lose money, then that’s a great plan. There’s almost no chance that investment would ever beat the amount of money you’d make by investing in an s&p mutual fund

      Depending on what country you’re in and from it might be hard to get them, and if you do you might be going against some sanction.
