like i said in their twitter, they should get rid of their half-assed rouble and adopt bitcoin completely, because the excuse that bitcoin is used for child porn and criminal is becoming more than old and stupid
a country that has not big debts like greece should begin to adopt bitcoin first, and not the opposite

except hasn't the russian ruble already been heavily devalued in recent months? Seems like its a little too late for it to be hugely beneficial for most russians.

Any sources that Putin did say this? Another source might be helpful and not just from a single tweet. Also, Russia has banned bitcoin so I don't think that Putin will even consider using bitcoin for some of his/their transactions.

Somehow I doubt that russia will adopt bitcoin as a national currency lol. But if this is true it can only be a good thing for wider adoption of coins.

Putin could use bitcoin to overcome some of the nato and usa restrictions, this could be pretty big if it actually happens, Russia has more then the bitcoin market cap to move around like a bag of coins in days or weeks, transactions would be huge.

You'd think if it was on their twitter, they'd have at least some mention of it on their website. Granted, I haven't read all the articles from today. But there's no mention of "Putin" "Russia" or "virtual" in any of today's headlines. Let's wait and see what the source is for this.
