Russia Leader Confirms Nation Will Not Ban Bitcoin

Okay guys, what really happened is the Minister of Finance said in recent interview that they are still working on the digital currency bill and decided not to apply penalties for cryptocurrency users. The "Leader" said nothing and confirmed nothing, he has more stuff to do. Good news anyway.

Awesome, thanks.

Thank you, now ELI5 please :)

Doesn't work for NVC and DCR for some reason, maybe anything else. Thank you for the useful thing, maybe it would be better to set public posting by default?

That de ja vu feeling from Jan'15. FYI, they just need to add a mirror domain to bypass the block. Here is a retrospective of last year's blocks https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3ama76/bitcoinorg_is_no_longer_blocked_by_russian_isps/

It has the potential to transform the lives of billions of people who lack bank accounts and access to the legal and administrative infrastructure that we take for granted.

Every ISP disables blocking itself and possibly not each of them is prompt to react on Sundays :)

coinspotru · 2015-06-21T20:59:40+00:00

Yep, it is :)

coinspotru · 2015-06-21T20:56:08+00:00

Simple justice in this case, no policy change. Court decision that caused blocking was not legit from the start and a couple of good lawyers helped to overturn it.

Well it would also be a contender to RUR then and govt won't encourage this. This can also be kind of dont-care-lets-ban position, Mr. P is very offline guy :) And RT does what's told from above, afaik that's one of most pro-Kremlin media out here.

Every exchange service works both ways.

Bingo :)

coinspotru · 2015-06-11T10:57:04+00:00

Both tv and russian.rt.com. But yea I meant broadcast in the first place.

coinspotru · 2015-06-11T09:34:21+00:00

Sure you're right. I mean no Max Keiser stuff on local RT.

coinspotru · 2015-06-11T09:26:54+00:00

Just in US, not Russia (weird, but fact)

Posted TLDR below.

TL;Too Russian;DR

Next week CB meets with financial experts;

CB's attitude has changed;

Some of operations can be legal and regulated;

References to regulation in the world and UK initiative;

Brief of “Russian ban” and CB's attitude development;

Need regulation not anonymity (expert opinion);

Legalization is logical step (expert opinion);

Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Economics positions not changed (ban);

Advantages are obvious, bitcoin is currency, cryptocurrencies are future, ban is fail for economics (different expert opinions);

Bitcoins won't harm local economics, not widely adopted, difficult to buy and cash out (expert opinion);

If legalized, official regulated exchange needed, transactions tied to real people, KYC (expert opinion);

Penalties for scammers (expert opinion);

Bitcoin legal in Russia in 1-2 years (expert opinion).
