My question is, MMM has any associated with Bitcoin?
Yes, MMM Global requires a deposit payment made in Bitcoin to buy Mavros (MMM tokens) and play the give/receive game.
MMM doesn't use Bitcoins only, they also use Bank to Bank Transfers but other MMM members don't want the Bank to Bank transaction since it will require them to go to the Bank or use a mobile app and their personal information will be known. That's why majority uses Bitcoin. There are members of MMM that uses a fake name and have multiple accounts.
On MMM Global, there is only a Bitcoin option. The bank option doesn't work.
"Pause Mode" is what happens, purely at Mavrodi's discretion, and has happened in the past. He just freezes conversion of Mavros into anything real for a fixed period of time. I have read that MMM Russia is currently "paused" until the New Year, but can't confirm it.
Where did you read that?
I can't read Russian but a Google translation might be semi-comprehensible. Everything I hear about MMM is founded on rumors, there are no sources of facts I can find. As it's based in the East it's shrouded in mystery, and I can't figure out how to get any reliable facts apart from joining it by paying the minimum possible Bitcoin fee.
The you tube link is private and I can't read it but I have no reason to doubt the poster.
