He claims that the attitude of the Russian Ministry of Finance towards bitcoin is wrong. Luksha, a member of the Expert Council of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives, spoke to CoinFox on the sidelines of the Krasnoyarsk Economic Forum.
The opportunities for blockchain are immense, says Luksha. According to him, whoever questions it sounds similar to those asking in the 80’s: “Do PCs have any perspectives?”
“Yes, they did, and a technological revolution began in the 80’s. Does blockchain have any perspective in 2016? Yes, it does because it is the beginning of a new revolution.”
The professor also pointed out that he thinks it to be “a big mistake that the Ministry of Finance is following the prohibitive logic.” It would be better to provide platforms for experimentation with new technologies instead of imposing restrictions, because Russia has the potential to develop blockchain thanks to high level of the country’s cryptography schools.
I like his thoughts, but what is a "Professor of Practice"?
