[virtuose247]

Russia seems to be making a fair amount of media headlines again, as their regulation of digital currency has just taken a turn for the worse. A new proposal – drafted by the Russian Ministry of Finance – seeks to penalize Bitcoin users by up to seven years in jail time. Do keep in mind this level of punishment is only intended for Bitcoin business owners, as regular users will face a maximum jail time of four years.

That's quite funny to be honest. Russia is one of the leading countries by popularity when it comes to crypto currencies. All these policies are beyond insane.
