Another country plans to criminalize certain Crypto activities while legalizing others: https://cryptocoin.news/news/this-country-is-criminalizing-crypto-activities-19600/

Article from scratch. The usual newspaper canard. Some day some decisions will be made, but currently it is talk for no special reasons.

According to my observations, on articles on the Internet I draw a conclusion and I can say differently: Russia is not set up aggressively with respect to cryptography. There are prerequisites for the fact that Russia will soon introduce a law permitting the use of the platforms of the crypto industry.

Don't take seriously any news coming from Russia specially crypto. And what do you expect from their government? Of course, they will all penalized crimes including those committed using crypto, so I wouldn't be surprised.

And to add to that, they always contradict themselves, that's why I don't see them being friendly to crypto, the best case than we can expect is that they will always be in the gray zone, and the worst? banning crypto in any form.

It’s true so many countries are against this market but i believe in near future all countries are accept this currency.

Russia have still kept open source cryptos legal and they are trying to implement the rules in case of criminal activities which are done through cryptos. So, I honestly see no harm in that, rather it is best for us if criminal activities are removed soon from this crypto space because in the long run this is going to tarnish the reputation of the community.

It is true that Russia is allowing only few currencies to go through their system whereas all the other cryptos are getting blocked. But, a small step is far better than adopting it all at once. So, I still have hope that eventually in the future the government wil allow other cryptos too once they are proved to safe.

just another click bait article written by some new website calling itself "news site". there is not much to it, apart from some text for them to put up and then advertise on bitcointalk to get readers and earn money from the traffic.

Russia like any other country has laws, these laws prevent criminal activities whether you use fiat, bitcoin, chickens, or anything else as your medium of exchange. they aren't criminalizing anything and the article has no proof of the things it says.

The crypto space being unregulated has made a lot of problem for the government and security forces. It has become a problem to identify the criminals, who are running away with people's money from the crypto space. Having no regulation at all will only encourage the incidents to occur. Slowly, Russia can water down their regulations though.

Well, currently this news is not confirmed and I do not think that might take place in reality because we all know that crypto currency is basically run through a decentralized system. Now if any country wants to take some action regarding its operation there can be a good side as well as a bad sign for the peoples of that country.

As of now, this news isn't affirmed and I don't believe that may occur actually in light of the fact that we as a whole realize that digital money is essentially gone through a decentralized framework. Presently if any nation needs to make some move in regards to its task there can be a decent side and an awful sign for the people groups of that nation.

No need to be worried. It is just the security issue of a nation. Some of criminals doint bad with bitcoin, so govt trying to seperate. Always rember it is a decentralized market place.

Regulation is not bad, kinda has to happen if you want mainstream adoption.

Banning some things and allowing others is what regulation is about. Yet these kinds of news about allowing certain coins and banning others or allowing trading but banning mining are more of a FUD, than anything real. Till this day, there are no straighforward crypto regulations is Russia, so people can mine and trade without being prosecuted. Some project laws are starting to appear, but banks and Ministry of Finances disagree on some matters radically, so we'll probably see no significant changes in the following years.

Yes, it because why we need a legal compliance ICO. USA and China have the strictly regulation about ICO activities, and it'll help to protect investors.

The problem will be solved very soon I believe. Because crypto market is the largest market where many investors and others are depending on it and beside this it is so much popular around the world.

I don’t know what actually happened in Russia but if it is true, then it’s a bad news for crypto society. I don’t know may be they will ban crypto from Russia.

While they come to a final decision, it will take a very long time. Both Russia and Ukraine are constantly talking about some laws, but so far nothing concrete is done

From my view there could different consequences. They are trying to filtering the crypto coins which is not bad at all. But if they are planning to centralize the cryptocurrency then it will be really bad.

Most of the time these kind of news will end as the rumors so no need to discuss about these until you get the official statement from the respective governments.Or else it will create FUDs among the investors causes dump in the market again.

It looks like a scratch article from cryptocoin.news & it is not giving any proof of the news which it is presenting. Up till now there are no straight forward regulations in Russia. Crypto is a decentralized market & still it is not considered under any government.

I am kinda appreciating this thing. There are some crypto activities which are related to criminal activities. So preventing them will be good. But still don't know there plan so it is confusing.

The vision is great. They are saying that they are going stop criminal activities which is appreciated. But still i afraid that maybe they will do something wrong with the crypto system.

I never take any a piece of news I read on the internet with regards Russia on crypto serious. Just like China, Russia has been touted to ban quite a lot of crypto and related activities so many times. All bark without bite. FUD if you ask me

If this news is true than it might get a worried news for investors and others related people.I am wishing for solving this problem very soon. Hopefully all the word will accept cryptocurrency as a legal trading proocess.

Russia and Japan are going to develop tool to track crypto currencies wallets
More spying we will have .When finally any gov will develop tool to track fiat money laundering mostly done by big banks

I don't know thew the acceptance of this news.Decision always changing, morning to evening, always it is changing.I think if this news is true that mean, russia Govt. trying to legalize bitcoin and other altcoin for every stage.

Its a good decesion for russia. Criminals are existing everywhere.Many of the user use it in wrong track. It should be stoped. I also think , every crypto activities are not acceptable, Though it is a decentralized systems.

What should I say about Russia?!  They knows better about themselves. Let them decide what to do or not. But it’s a bad news for the crypto society. Let’s see what happen next.

May its has another reasons for doing this I think. Russia want to criminalize certain crypto activities for another reasons I beleive but I know a little bit about this news. Hopping for solving this problem.

Is it true? Then it’s a bad news for the Russian crypto holders. Let’s see what happens next. Future will tell what type of action Russian government will take. Let’s see.

that would be the great  step i think for the russian government.if they can do it will be new change in the crypto market.

As I know Russia want to set some for crypto currency. Russia want to run the regular currency and crypto currency parallel way. I think it’s a very positive initiative.

this kinds of news is really heart breaking that some people are makingup their minds and takes a step but they even don't have the clear idea about the market system,  so I hope that one day they will realize their mistakes

I think it fake news , first time hear about that despite the fact that I live in Russia and try do not lose an news about cryptocyrrency in my country. However everything possible in Russia, but I hope it wont happend.

A loud headline and nothing more ! Russia has not yet developed the legislation of the crypto-currency industry. It will be considered this month and I don't think they will be tough.

it's typical newshead, somewhere something MAY happen, but actually not any exact informations

In my opinion this is logical but I do not understand how they can track transactions from anonymous wallets !

to be honest I still didn't get any updates about the this news so I am not really sure about its validy so I would request to everyone that don't make up your mind and get influence by any rumors

they will only block crypto specifically and this means not all, I think the rusi government is only worried about illegal transactions that are carried out via crypto, nothing problem.

if they are doing such thing then it is completely unjustifiable, but I am not sure if they are actually does this or not cause I didn't able to know get to know any update abo6this news so I think you shouldn't trust anything until we get any confirmation

It's not so easy to do and hardly in the near future will come true

This news is nothing negative for the crypto market because Russia is planning to legalize those crypto currencies that have taken authorization from the govt. officials. It is somewhat better for the investors as the govenrment is concern in this regard.

At the moment, they're just banning some activities they consider illegal, not all of them.... I think they're just trying to implement some regulation into the market.

Yes, unfortunately I also read this news and I hope that these laws will not be accepted, because everything that will be done next will only worsen the situation in the market of crypto-currency in Russia, because here and so not a good situation.

This is not justified information. I do not advise you to believe this information.

I have heard that some ATM cashing our crypto currencies were confiscated recently as the police want to investigate them, so probably some crypto activities are already crimimalized.

I think they are not only worried about criminal transcations. Of course, it's important and I have no doubt that they are worrying about criminals. But I think there is also a fear of losing control of money. They can legalize it but they always can to ban it anytime too.

Russia's initiative in this regard is praise worthy, I guess. Government's concern in this regard will be encouraging for the investors. They are only illegalizing those currencies which are not complying with their laws and regulations and tax implications.

Even though that is just a rubbish article written solely to draw in clickers i want to throw my opinion in on this one anyhow. I think Russia especially has a huge problem with crypto criminals now and as much as i hate to see governments sticking there noses into the blockchain where they don't belong they actually have to outlaw some practices to protect the general community there from scammers. Most of the crypto phishing links i receive are from russian ip providers when i trace them back.

The Russian government is only doing what brings them income, and destroys what threatens their income. Never trust the government of the country.

The Russian politicians love loud statements and silly initiatives (like taxes on sex, forest mushrooms and so forth). As far as I know recently the chief of the Central bank of Russia went ti US finding a refuge  because she could be arrested in conjunction with big steals in her structure. I am sure that right now there are much more important tasks for solving in Russia instead of banning and legalizing crypto currencies. By the way there are not so much people in Russia who have a deal with crypto currencies and the most part of people do not pay attention on crypto currencies at all.

it is too early to say what will happen with cryptocurrency in Russia.  and what restrictions it will introduce, for this you first need to wait until the cryptocurrency is legalized.

Wahhh the Russian Government is very cruel, bro. Whereas graphically most Crypto users are in Russian Country, bro. If this is the case, what if the Russian Government is really serious about doing it bro. It is possible that Crypto users, especially Bitcoin, will decline drastically and cause the price of Bitcoin to drop.
