Russia Could Be the First Country to Pass a Cryptocurrency Law

[20kevin20]

I doubt any government will take using a cryptocurrency as a daily currency into account. They need to control us, not to be anonymous, remember that. It's not going to happen..

Russia may become the world’s first country to pass a cryptocurrency regulation law, according to the State Duma’s anticorruption and security committee deputy chairman Andrei Lugovoi.
Speaking to RBK Tatarstan, Lugovoi stated that his prime objective at Finnopolis 2016 financial forum in Kazan is to explain to the banking community that assessment of perspectives and risks of digital currencies, “understanding of their right usage” and elaboration of anonymity removal mechanisms are the top priorities in this regard.

This might be interesting; Russia has been front-and-center for a lot of off and on good/bad news for a year or two now, and I'm glad to see that they might be going ahead with something beneficial. While I don't like the fact that they are legislating digital currencies and setting up laws around them (which I find unnecessary), they don't seem openly hostile.

apart if this a true news or not, i think better we have to wait for this and see what will Rusia do with bitcoin. and if this is really happen then i think the other country will be follow too.

Who will understand this Russians, there was ness how they plan to arrest bitcoin users,some jail was mentioned. Then they talked about legalization and then again about banning bitcoin. Now this news is something new from Russians.
Maybe they will legalize bitcoin just to do it before Americans, or Europe. Who can even guess their plans with blockchain, probably they will surprise everyone with some decisions in the end.

It says alot about a country when they try to stifle innovatioin,  not saying that Russia is the worst in the world even most western countries will try to stop people changing the status quo

And russian are wanna for erasing the main purpose of bitcoin are made. that is so bad in my mind because the anonimity are already be a different value from the another currency in this time and i should wanna for saying that is a worst thing in this early day.

If this is for real then Russia is seeing a great opportunity for using and adopting bitcoins covering by their law. As we all know that Russia has a very powerful armament country and has a good market for weapons. I don't know if they are already in the dark market and they are going to make a law for it. I just can't even think that Russia once prohibited bitcoin in their country.

That is also my concern, but maybe they trying to suppressed fraud and other illegal activity. If that is a case, it will  give birth  to another anonymous coins In my opinion, I feel it is disturbing, though I transact only on small amount.

Do not be fooled by the supposed reasons given by these governments to restrict people's freedom. The USA has used the threat of terrorism to turn it's country into a surveillance state, where everything is monitored and people had to sacrifice their privacy to feel safe. ^lol^

Russia and the other governments will use other excuses like crime and fraud, but most of these activities are done with cash. ^hmmmmm^
