Putin says he has discussed cryptos with the central bank's head. Central bank has already said it's willing to regulate Bitcoin, not ban it.
That's a good sign of Russian authorities warming up to Bitcoin.
I don't think he would have spoken positively about bitcoin if there is no good reason behind it.
Russia is partially excluded from the world's financial flows due to sanctions so any way to overcome this blockage is good for them.
In the long run this attitude of Russia towards the bitcoin could be good for us. It remains to be seen.
