"
Lets start with Russia current stance with bitcoin."
In Russia, there are currently some awareness about whether cryptocurrencies will be banned by the government. A real threat emerges out of political and, as someone says, "mental" level. This means that some kind of a government curated USSR 2.0 ban system is up to be built. Almost all Russian press is under a government control. Also, they began trying to control the Internet by menas of Roscomnadzor private slowpoke club.
https://twitter.com/roscomnadzor?lang=ruBut it's not only about the Internet. They have also restricted The Wolf of Wall Street film for example because "americans do such a films to bring drugs to God Given Holy Russia and make it poor", this is, of course, is just a way of distracting people from real internal problems.
PS. This film is one of my favourites.
