If bitcoin is banned over russia how this gonna work.
I think those banning is only for the exchanger rather than using bitcoin. I can also pay mobile bill or can do topup from bitcoin directly and most of the country can do it with bitrefill and piko like services but good to see russians paying internet bills.
In 2014 the Bank of Russia issued a statement on bitcoin usage in which it was characterized as money substitute banned in Russia.
In February 2014, Russia's Prosecutor General's Office claimed that bitcoin is a money substitute and "cannot be used by individuals or legal entities".
In September 2014, Deputy Finance Minister Aleksey Moiseev announced that a
law will be passed by Spring 2015.
