Title: [2016-07-14] Russian Political Party to Accept Bitcoin Donations Post by: CrimBit on July 13, 2016, 11:31:01 PM Reports from Russia indicate a minor political party is moving to accept bitcoin donations.
The Party of Growth, a center-right party formed in 2009 under the name Just Cause, is reportedly looking to begin accepting donations in the digital currency. The move is notable given the Russian government's complicated and long-controversial stance on digital currencies like bitcoin. News of the donation drive comes in light of reports from Interfax and TASS that cover remarks from Boris Titov, the head of the Party of Growth and an advisor to Russian President Vladimir Putin on business and entrepreneurial issues. http://www.coindesk.com/russian-political-party-accept-bitcoin-donations/ |
