LOL.
Perhaps Putin knows that Bitcoin was an FSA project, that Dorian Nakamoto actually was Satoshi Nakamoto, and Bitcoin was created as a prototype digital currency, whose main purpose was not to facilitate internet drug dealing, money laundering, and kiddy porn transactions, but to undermine the capital controls of weaker nations, especially those who the USD Hegemony is leaning on.....Russia being a pretty major one, and low n behold, they take a dim view of Bitcoin in the Russian Federation.
If my speculative thesis were the case however, then that would be good news for Bitcoiners. Sound a bit selfish and sociopathic? Well of course, but that is trading in markets for you. For one to win, someone else must lose, and since we all want to win, we are all hoping that another must lose. On that note, I am proud to state that I have being doing my altruistic bit thus far, by on the whole, losing with Bitcoin!
