russia bitcoin ban

[xandry]

So basically, Bitcoin is not banned in Russia and the OP is trying to spread FUD?
Is that correct?

Correct.
Bitcoin is not banned. Even if we looking in wikipedia, then we will see that the first sentence is based on plans which didn't come yet. There is no law inhibitory so far, or regulating cryptocurrencies in Russia.

In Soviet Russia, Bitcoin bans you!



Could care less if they do or don't, they're so behind the technology curve when it comes to Crypto, that it doesn't even matter.  Seems strange, since their neighbors pretty much dominate the space.

Wonder what will happen with BTC-E

Wonder what will happen with BTC-E, the exchange based in Bulgaria?

I'm going to guess nothing, since Russia banning Bitcoin has nothing to do with BTC-E's operation.

I can't see this news anywhere , from where did you get it ?? I don' t think Russia will
look at bitcoin as an enemy of economy nor they will profit from fees if they want .

I believe with the ongoing world-wide political tensions, Bitcoin can only strengthen Russia and create a better quality of life for it's citizens.

This ban just seems too hard to enforce.

[MetalEngine]

In Russia bitcoin didn't ban.
all this guff

[Window2Wall]

They can ban Bitcoins the same way everything else gets banned in Russia...
A currency that is not directly controlled by national banking cartels poses a threat to the Russian government.

Wonder what will happen with BTC-E 

Nothing will happen as they are not based in Russia. Dont mistake eastern european countries for Russia, they are completely different nowadays.

Banning decentralized technologies in countries only make them more used on there. For example, freenet is banned in china, and china is the highest freenet node supporter.
Mr Putin should give up and embrace Bitcoin.

[pooya87]

apparently they have not yet banned it but it is an ongoing issue and they are talking about banning bitcoin.
a quick google search turns out that websites like bitcoin.org is (or was) banned in russia.

I heard that Russia bans Bitcoin because they're think Bitcoin could being a way to terrorism transactions (CMIIW)

That's funny considering the government turns a blind eye to hackers or mob that attack western companies.

[crazyivan]

Russia ll ban anything which is innovative and new. But, it seems the court changed that decision.

Russia banned Bitcoin because the Ruble exchange rate was going down steeply, and the government thought that people will rush to convert their rubles to Bitcoin. Terrorism financing was not a major concern. The government knew that right now Bitcoin is not an attractive financing option for various terrorist groups.
