The Central Bank is against BTC. The Sberbank is not that powerful to take on the Russian Central Bank. Also, the Sberbank is headed by Hermann Graf, an ethnic German. (That is a disadvantage in Russia).

He said an outright ban would be a “colossal mistake”, adding: “It definitely shouldn’t be banned, it must be studied and maybe regulated properly”.

Regulate it? Seems like they've banned it outright according to most other articles.

No bans , what you see is a fight within the elite......
Some understand that tyhe recources on the planet are limited and this means we need an other ecocomic system....
they understand that endless growth will kill us.....
