I thought I had read somewhere in the past that Russia had banned Bitcoin.
Title: Re: News: Putin Post by: Guido on July 14, 2015, 05:02:11 PM Is this a change is stance for them then? I thought I had read somewhere in the past that Russia had banned Bitcoin. you answered your own question Title: Re: News: Putin Post by: Amph on July 14, 2015, 05:09:18 PM like i said in their twitter, they should get rid of their half-assed rouble and adopt bitcoin completely, because the excuse that bitcoin is used for child porn and criminal is becoming more than old and stupid
a country that has not big debts like greece should begin to adopt bitcoin first, and not the opposite Title: Re: News: Putin Post by: 0xF6487E on July 14, 2015, 05:11:48 PM Is this a change is stance for them then? I thought I had read somewhere in the past that Russia had banned Bitcoin. Title: RUSSIA'S BITCOIN WEBSITE BAN OVERTURNED IN RUSSIAN COURT URL: https://archive.is/YFd80 Date: 16th of May 2015 Title: Re: News: Putin Post by: MF Doom on July 14, 2015, 05:14:55 PM except hasn't the russian ruble already been heavily devalued in recent months? Seems like its a little too late for it to be hugely beneficial for most russians.
Title: Re: News: Putin Post by: eerygarden on July 14, 2015, 05:18:54 PM Did putin actually say this? I see no articles anywhere.
Title: Re: News: Putin Post by: Za1n on July 14, 2015, 05:20:23 PM Is this a change is stance for them then? I thought I had read somewhere in the past that Russia had banned Bitcoin. Title: RUSSIA'S BITCOIN WEBSITE BAN OVERTURNED IN RUSSIAN COURT URL: https://archive.is/YFd80 Date: 16th of May 2015 Just goes to show that only the negative news get mass media attention. The ban was splashed all over the place, while the acceptance seemed to get little attention. Title: Re: News: Putin Post by: dothebeats on July 14, 2015, 05:23:49 PM Any sources that Putin did say this? Another source might be helpful and not just from a single tweet. Also, Russia has banned bitcoin so I don't think that Putin will even consider using bitcoin for some of his/their transactions.
Title: Re: News: Putin Post by: josephno1 on July 14, 2015, 05:26:23 PM I kinda doubt that Putin said that.
http://rt.com/news/222215-russia-bans-bitcoin-sites/ (http://rt.com/news/222215-russia-bans-bitcoin-sites/) I mean apparently some bitcoin related sites are blocked in Russia Title: Re: News: Putin Post by: olcaytu2005 on July 14, 2015, 05:39:49 PM I kinda doubt that Putin said that. http://rt.com/news/222215-russia-bans-bitcoin-sites/ (http://rt.com/news/222215-russia-bans-bitcoin-sites/) I mean apparently some bitcoin related sites are blocked in Russia "The only unchanging thing is change". So everything can be change. Maybe 1 year later russians will be a country using bitcoin Title: Re: News: Putin Post by: jeannemadrigal2 on July 14, 2015, 05:47:29 PM Somehow I doubt that russia will adopt bitcoin as a national currency lol. But if this is true it can only be a good thing for wider adoption of coins.
Title: Re: News: Putin Post by: RussianRaibow on July 14, 2015, 05:49:19 PM Did putin actually say this? I see no articles anywhere. Somehow, I doubt the same... LoLz :P Title: Re: News: Putin Post by: scarsbergholden on July 14, 2015, 05:59:33 PM Putin could use bitcoin to overcome some of the nato and usa restrictions, this could be pretty big if it actually happens, Russia has more then the bitcoin market cap to move around like a bag of coins in days or weeks, transactions would be huge.
Title: Re: News: Putin Post by: ikydesu on July 14, 2015, 06:04:42 PM This is just entertainment? ;D
I'm not sure Putin will adopt bitcoin, or Putin have a plan to create a RussianCoin ;D Title: Re: News: Putin Post by: LiteCoinGuy on July 14, 2015, 06:08:02 PM Title: Re: News: Putin Post by: yeponlyone on July 14, 2015, 06:49:02 PM Doesn't the forum has some Russians who can look this up...? I would be kinda big if he actually said it.
Title: Re: News: Putin Post by: DooMAD on July 14, 2015, 07:02:16 PM You'd think if it was on their twitter, they'd have at least some mention of it on their website. Granted, I haven't read all the articles from today. But there's no mention of "Putin" "Russia" or "virtual" in any of today's headlines. Let's wait and see what the source is for this.
Title: Re: News: Putin Post by: Dissonance on July 14, 2015, 07:30:39 PM putin just realize he can evade a SWIFT ban with bitcoin ???

Yes, liquidating your assets can be easily done by means of using bitcoin because it isn't tied to any personal documents of the user or whatsoever. If this is the case, then Putin may have found the greatest tool he can probably use to move some money around.

Well, 2014 was also a year of hype due to VCs pouring in, but we didn't see moon that year. Hope 2016 would be good to us all, given that block reward halving is also on the way. If Putin even reconsidered using bitcoins for some of his transactions, it could be hyped upon by the community and other people as well. Title: Re: News: Putin Post by: RoadTrain on July 14, 2015, 11:24:34 PM I wonder why some people think BTC is banned in Russia. Apart from our Internet regulator banning some websites (a decision overturned by the court later), nothing happened. There's no ban, there's regulatory uncertainty. And our central bank has already said it is willing to regulate Bitcoin to some extent.

Hopefully the period of uncertainty will have a bigger effect now that it's over, even more than if it was endorsed by the government from the start. Title: Re: News: Putin Post by: pooya87 on July 15, 2015, 05:36:25 AM i see a lot of people saying they should accept bitcoin as their currency!
this is never going to happen, the government will never let such a thing happen. simply because they can not control something that is based on decentralization and anonymity , plus it is always easier and cheaper for the government to just print their money rather than anything else. i think the best explanation of their stance with bitcoin can be explained by this title: "Putin does not reject the use of electronic money, but against their widespread" Title: Re: News: Putin Post by: grendel25 on July 15, 2015, 06:06:27 AM From the reliable source of some guys twitter account. ::) But at this stage it doesn't matter about China, Russia, or any country. Heck... it doesn't even seem like poor transaction performance has an affect on bitcoin as the price raises to a new base around $300. But I'm not complaining
Title: Re: News: Putin Post by: ikydesu on July 15, 2015, 09:33:54 AM This is confusing news, first russian ban bitcoin and now Putin seems show sign if he start to accept bitcoin.
Quote from: Putin on Coindesk news We do not reject anything, but there are serious, really fundamental issues related to its wider usage, at least, today ::)Still doubt if this good news ::) haha. http://www.coindesk.com/russian-president-vladimir-putin-addresses-bitcoin/ Title: Re: News: Putin Post by: MF Doom on July 15, 2015, 11:26:04 AM There have been rumors that btc is some sort of nsa project related to tracking peoples monetary activities.

I really wonder how putin really feels about the US Govt and vice versa. How much of the situation is just media hype?? Title: Re: News: Putin Post by: Q7 on July 15, 2015, 11:40:54 AM It think it will make a whole lot of difference if they adopted bitcoin... considering the population, size of the economy, i reckon it will mean something

Quote Vladimir Putin: You can use digital currency for some operations 14 July 2015 Hits: 4977 President of Russia Vladimir Putin says that it is possible to use bitcoins for some operations. Putin discussed bitcoin with the participants of the Klyazma Youth Forum, says Kremlin. “This money has no real basis and it does not depend on any real entity. In general you can use these ‘coins’, they are spreading more and more. You can use them as the equivalent [of money] in certain segments of economy. This is possible,” said president of Russia. Putin noted that he discussed the digital currency with the head of the Russian Central Bank, Elvira Nabiullina. “People in Central Bank have a very professional position [on bitcoin]. We do not reject it. Yet there are serious and real problems with the acceptance [of this currency].” Press-secretary of Vladimir Putin Dimitry Peskov later noted that Vladimir Putin did not speak in support of bitcoin. “It was not specifically about Bitcoin, they talked about some form of conditional payments,” said the press-secretary of the head of state, “It is clear from the context of his speech." This spring, the Central Bank of Russia, originally very critical of cryptocurrencies, became much more favourable towards them.An unnamed official connected to the Central Bank informed the Izvestia newspaper that the regulator might start to regulate some of the bitcoin transactions such as remittances or payments to private accounts. Allegedly, the Central Bank was going to meet the financial markets representatives to discuss the question of bitcoin and cryptocurrency use in Russia. Later in April, the head of the Central Bank, Elvira Nabiullina spoke favourably of bitcoin. Experts suggested that a government-run bitcoin exchange could be created to monopolise the ruble/bitcoin conversion. Title: Re: News: Putin Post by: jaberwock on July 15, 2015, 12:00:37 PM They probably will make their own state controlled crypto coin, like Ecuador or Bolivia said they are going to do.

How much of the situation is just media hype?? well then its flawed because altcoin make this point moot, thei failed in their created quite a bit or they were so naive that they couldn't thinking about the possibility of other chain? i doubt so my verdict is that this rumors is a bullshit They probably will make their own state controlled crypto coin, like Ecuador or Bolivia said they are going to do. I doubt Russia will officially adopt something they can't control no governments will ever do that, a centralized system that adopt a decentralized system, sound like an oxymoron Title: Re: News: Putin Post by: Kakmakr on July 15, 2015, 12:10:26 PM I will not read too much into that, because a lot of countries allow Bitcoin holding as a investment, but they do not allow it as a accepted currency. They will not arrest you, if you have Bitcoins BUT they may harass you, if you accept it as a currency in merchant trading. As far as I know, there is no ban on Bitcoins in Russia. ???

I thought I had read somewhere in the past that Russia had banned Bitcoin. A lot of people is backpedling about their critiques with BTC and are slowly (or suddenly) changing their views and seeing it as more positive. They've seen banning it is useless, so what can you do? accept it. Im surprised Putin corrected his stance on BTC this quick tho, I would expect him to be one of the last guys to pick the train.

I have to agree Russian government is obsessed with control and dominance. They banned bitcoin before because they couldn't control it. I doubt Russia will officially adopt something they can't control But as the time goes they realize digital currency is the future and it would be a waste not to invest/research this. If they adapt bitcoin it would be awesome, but if they create RussiaCoin or something like that it will be used only as equivalent for Rubles. Used only by Russian citizen and controlled by government, it is not not exactly a bright future we want.

Title: Re: News: Putin Post by: oblivi on July 16, 2015, 12:30:01 PM I think it's clear now that governments are taking neutral or even positive stances about Bitcoin because they will start building their own Bitcoin national reserves for the future, just like they do with gold. They will probably keep it secret and only release this information if other countries start releasing it. Until they, make no mistake, governments are hiring traders to build stacks of Bitcoin and they will continue to do so for as long as BTC is this cheap.

Putin vision is getting to the point anything that could help over come the western restriction on Russia will work, bitcoin here we go. |
