The U.S. dollar has been devalued by even more (compared to when it was Real Money, when a $20 bill could be easily exchanged for a one-ounce gold coin at any bank). But that happened over the course of a century or so, not overnight.
Overnight 90% devaluation for the fiat dollar is probably coming, though. Destroying America's fiat system is necessary, but I don't look forward to it -- I expect quite a lot of pain in the short term and, for many, the long term as well.
We'll see.
If you can get ahold of rubles, buy and hold. Even if you can get 10 rubles per dollar it’ll be a good investment.
Interesting idea.
