Title: Russia to Criminalize Bitcoin Use.. Post by: First77 on March 09, 2018, 02:02:16 PM Russian president Vladimir Putin is a bitcoin skeptic who wants cryptocurrency regulations in place “by July 1," according to the official government publication Parlamentskaya Gazeta.The regulations are part of the Digital Assets Regulation Bill, which is expected to set guidelines for cryptocurrency use in Russia.
Separately, the Russian Ministry of Finance plans to introduce a law that will criminalize the use of cryptocurrencies as money substitutes.Elvira Nabiullina, head of the Bank of Russia, said she and the Russian Finance Ministry oppose the use of virtual currencies "as private money and money surrogates,” saying only the ruble can be used to pay for goods and services, Bitcoin.com reported. "There is the ruble, and everything else is a surrogate," she said. Nabiullina said the move to criminalize the use of bitcoin and other digital currencies as money substitutes is to protect the Russian ruble. "This is necessary to protect the ruble as the single legal [means of] payment in Russia," she said. https://www.investopedia.com/news (https://www.investopedia.com/news/russia-criminalize-bitcoin-use-money-substitute-putin-roll-out-laws) Title: Re: Russia to Criminalize Bitcoin Use.. Post by: Irvinn on March 09, 2018, 02:34:03 PM Also what here it is possible to tell still? At me, the truth, the question arose: who there controls Russia - Putin or any Nabiullina? One thing is clear: in Russia everything is very bad with the crypto currency. Apparently, the regulation will be approximately the same - step to the right, step to the left, shooting on the spot. What has been done with Russia in recent years? There is a general concentration camp.

They are having their private race in BTC related misinformation with China and they are eager to win. I've probably seen bitcoin approved about a thousand times, banned the same amount, not to mention the other hundred projects of crypto related activities that never materialized.

Is that even a question? ;D Apparently, the regulation will be approximately the same - step to the right, step to the left, shooting on the spot. What has been done with Russia in recent years? There is a general concentration camp. Regulation in Russia will be like traffic tickets, nobody will give a damn about them. You hit a pedestrian and you are fined 30$. Title: Re: Russia to Criminalize Bitcoin Use.. Post by: mahilchii on March 09, 2018, 06:30:21 PM Hey, your comments and the second post is confusing. Putin wants crypto currency but not as a currency? Then what bill they are planning to bring, is that a crypto ban bill? I think the news is not completely posted here or complete with information not shared here. Need to have more information on this, then only we can come to a conclusion on Russia stand on crypto currency.

They really aren't doing anything to help legalize bitcoins. What they are doing is making people think that they are trying but at the end of the day, they will still ban it for personal reasons and agendas. Although They say that they are just protecting their countrymen and their national currency, I still can't get myself to buy that shit.

Title: Re: Russia to Criminalize Bitcoin Use.. Post by: blx18 on March 11, 2018, 10:15:08 AM Governments are obviously afraid of bitcoin and would prefer a national cryptocurrency they can control. It is known the Rusian central bank is against it saying it is used for money laundering. As long as some government does not declare you can also pay taxes in crypto the fate will be uncertain.

Russian finance authority seems confused about their actions and unable to come up with a proper legislation from some time now. But whatever happens, it will just be another exit from a communist nation like China who believes in strong centralization of power. A temporary impact will be there but nothing for long term Title: Re: Russia to Criminalize Bitcoin Use.. Post by: Jating on March 11, 2018, 11:36:51 AM Nothing surprises me here because I always think that bitcoin will not be recognized in Russia. One sign that I really doubt is that they kept on contradicting themselves.
And then Putin, has already the crypto-rubble, so it means Russia has its own crypto and wouldn't even bother to even accept Ethereum, which we all know that Vitalik is very close to Putin. And now this news. Of course the one that will be severely affected is the Russian Crypto Community. They need to be very careful because we all know how authoritarian this regime is. Title: Re: Russia to Criminalize Bitcoin Use.. Post by: Pursuer on March 11, 2018, 11:50:23 AM as I have been saying for the past two years, until there is actually a law in Russia regarding bitcoin and its usage and other cryptocurrencies, everything you hear in the news regarding Russian stance is a total bullshit and must be ignored.
for years the news has been saying similar and at times contradictory things regarding bitcoin. you can find articles saying Russia is banning bitcoin and articles saying Russia has no problem with bitcoin at the same time and to this day no law has been set for bitcoin... and talk is cheap!

Post by: jseverson on March 11, 2018, 01:00:33 PM Separately, the Russian Ministry of Finance plans to introduce a law that will criminalize the use of cryptocurrencies as money substitutes. You left out the most important detail on your title. Whether you want to take Russia seriously or not, you have to recognize that plenty of other countries have already taken the same stance (Vietnam, Indonesia, etc.), and none of them has had a substantial effect. With Russia's trading volume, I expect it to be more of the same. The thing is, not too many businesses are willing to accept crypto anyway so it's not a big deal yet.

Post by: sabine80 on March 11, 2018, 03:00:35 PM many threads appear in the last weeks (months) with bad new against bitcoin, but in the end most of the stories are not so bad in the end and not really bad for bitcoin. i'm curious whats the next "bad" news is.
is this all to manipulate the people? Title: Re: Russia to Criminalize Bitcoin Use.. Post by: senin on March 11, 2018, 07:41:44 PM And how can it be possible at the same time to regulate the crypto currency, and to prohibit its use? In my opinion, these actions are incompatible with each other. And in general, simply do not pay attention to the words of various politicians., So they are contradictory. You just need to expect the adoption of specific laws.

It is the right time for all of us if the bitcoin is falling, because bitcoin use to fall for the benefit of people. It is good to use bitcoin at the time of low price. I must appreciate those wise people who use to buy bitcoin at low price and has saved for the long time, no one can stop bitcoin it will increase more and more with time, I would say you to buy bitcoin and saved bitcoin can be use for all kind of reasons, for good and bad, but the main thing is bitcoin is the best currency for all.Title: Re: Russia to Criminalize Bitcoin Use..

Post by: Borisov on March 11, 2018, 08:11:16 PM Let's see who wins. On the one hand, Putin, who previously stated that it is necessary to regulate the cryptocurrency market and what is the future behind it, and that everything needs to be done to succeed in this market. And on the other hand Nabiullina, the inadequate lady, I do not want to comment. she's insane.
Title: Re: Russia to Criminalize Bitcoin Use.. Post by: awawo on March 11, 2018, 09:31:38 PM All those actions by the Russian government is just means to spread bad news about bitcoin and way to talk the price down and cause people to lose interest in buying and holding bitcoin and if the government so wish they can said the use of bitcoin as a payment system in it jurisdiction is illegal but that can not stop the use of bitcoin because is decentrazed and at that can't be control by any government or it institutions.
Title: Re: Russia to Criminalize Bitcoin Use.. Post by: Akash1243 on March 11, 2018, 09:46:07 PM This would affect the price of bitcoins for a small period of time just like what happened with China but I doubt that it would have any affect in long run.They are just afraid as they don't want any decentralised currency in their country as they can't control it.I'm sure that after few years there would be news that they're are now fine with bitcoins and after some time again with criminalize bitcoin.

There is no denying that bitcoina allow people to ease their illegal transaction. Bitcoin is known to be used for trading drugs, guns and pornographic materials. Bitcoin is not meant to be used for bad but since its feature are advantages to make transactions, then it is used for illegal too. And this makes a government threatened.

I remember seeing many things stating Russia and even Putin in particular were trying to be very friendly to crypto technology in general. But there's also stuff like OP which paints a completely different picture. One thing that might be the saving grace of crypto is its potential to move around large amounts of money for Russian oligarchs. That may help them evade sanctions and such. On the other hand, if western governments see this that might give them pause and have them take a harsher stance against crypto. So it's not necessarily a win either way depending on how it plays out.

Post by: Slark on May 30, 2018, 09:52:19 PM If rubel was so amazing then it wouldn't be in danger at all - and no cryptocurrency might jeopardise the rubel viability.
The truth is that Rubes is highly unstable currency and the Russian government are scared that stong cryptocurrencies will undermine its weak position. I don't think we have anything to worry though - AFAI Bitcoin was briefly outlawed in Russia - and this 'ban' didn't do anything.
