That way to limit is quite interesting. Never though about that!

And as a replacement for SMS.

That’s worth over 2 billion euros. What is then done with this? Will the government try to convert it to euros?

I don’t know Yandex well, but there are a couple of points I found interesting: -The parent company of Yandex was based in the Netherlands.

• That company now sold the operation in Russia.
• Yandex was valued at $30bn in 2021, yet was sold for $5.2bn.
• One of the co-founders of Yandex is openly against the war and the russian government, and is seeking for sanctions against him to be lifted.

I would love to see it. Being able to talk with someone over Whatsapp but not actually having it installed.

I’ve always been surprised with the success of Whatsapp. The fact that it’s tied to a phone number and not an email always seemed like an odd choice to me. I feel that a phone number is much more volatile since people change phone numbers a bit frequently, and will then not transfer their old chats to a new number and lose contacts as a result.
