I will give a clue about my reason; Krasnov only acts when it benefits him.

(31,323 posts)Krasnov has made billions in crypto, right? I am serious about this;
Krasnov want to crash the dollar as a pretext for full tokenization. What does that mean?
Krasnov wants to move the debt into the crypto cloud, devalue it, and start from scratch.

It also swings savings away from safe interest bearing accounts and CDs and to stocks.
It's bad for people with savings, but great for the rich and the stock market.
