Title: Vladimir Putin: You can use bitcoins for some operations Post by: kambarov on July 14, 2015, 08:43:53 PM President of Russia Vladimir Putin says that it is possible to use bitcoins for some operations.
Putin discussed bitcoin and the problem of digital currencies with the participants of Klyazma Youth Forum, says Kremlin. “This money has no real basis and they do 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 some segments of economy. This is possible” said president of Russia. Putin noted that he discussed the digital currency with the governor of Russian Central Bank, Elvira Nabiullina. "People in Central Bank has 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”. http://www.coinfox.info/news/2404-vladimir-putin-you-can-use-bitcoins-for-some-operations Title: Re: Vladimir Putin: You can use bitcoins for some operations Post by: Chef Ramsay on July 14, 2015, 11:30:54 PM The fact that he didn't condemn bitcoins is enough of a positive to take out of this article. Frankly, having the bitcoin word come out of his mouth at all is plenty of advertisement which will spur Russians to look into further.

Good to hear that Putin is neutral on Bitcoin and its users It means that development is possible to some extent.

His country is under sanctions of Western countries because of the crisis in Ukraine, and this influence the Russian economy, finance, cash flows etc. Anything that can help avoid the financial restriction is obviously welcome.
