Russia prohibits cryptocoins

[DarkSi]

Russia will not ban cryptocurrencies, they are all heavy in crypto including putin. Thats for sure 

So why do you think he can't decide to ban it in some own interest for example?

[John Langut]

It's their way of trying to get control. When they have regulations they can manipulate people. So the elite can profit and block other people from making money and become powerful. With regulations the regime can also introduce taxes in order to get a share in the profits. But this will not work. They will not succeed.

[Sindren]

Sooner or later governments prohibit cryptocoins. They will try to take this sphere under the regulation. I think its normal process. But it will be good or bad I think it is early to give some analyse yet.

[bosses]

I do not think that Russia with its prohibitions may somehow globally affect the market cryptocurrency.

Countries that are banning crypto currencies are running away from reality. Digital currencies have come to stay. What need to be done is to find a way to regulate ICOs and exchange activities. Whether we like it or not digital currency is the future.

[Smolko]

Well Russia for me does somehow both at the same time:
1. Forbidding Crypto
2. Allowing Crypto

Basically its a Russian saying "what you can't destroy - lead it" so they are simply aware that banning BTC like China is trying to do won't work (basically because its Blockchain tech)
So they are simply trying somehow to regulate it.

It is just popular at the moment to put good and bad news how ever it is made up about crypto currencies. just show that the press do what they want.

[v3liana]

He is not baning it just trying to regulate.

yes so sad if rusia banning cryptocurrency. rusia even want to make their own cryptocurrency and have a tax from the coin itself arounf 15% if im not mistaken.

President Vladimir Putin after the meeting on digital technologies in the financial sector instructed the government and the Bank of Russia by July 1, 2018 to ensure the regulation of public funds attraction and crypto currency by placing tokens (ICO).

Are you in Russia, man?
Believe me here is not very good with crypto. government wants to ban crypto and create their own one. They want to create special platform where citizens can buy BTC for only max 100 000 rub (~1720$) per month and KYC will necessary for it!

What difference does it make whether Russia prohibits or allow. Russia is always playing the opposition to freedom and liberty game. Just like  China, anything that comes from the west is always a subject of victimization

[bitcoinvestor]

Hasn't Russia learned anything from China?? They can ban cryptocurrency all they want and they will continue to rise. The future is here and it is decentralised. They citizens will just find other ways to access cryptocurrencies that don't involve governments.

Russia is the same as CHina. They are communist dictator. every dictator won't their citizens be freedom. Cryptocurrencies bring freedom. This is a real threat to their authority. However, they can only ban exchangers but they can't ban everyone to hold cryptocurrencies.If they want to ban cryptocurrencies at all, they should ban internet. No internet at all is the best solution to dictator governtment. I think without Russia and China the community of cryptocurrencies will grow and can't be stopped.

crypto has grown more than countries could restrict it. crypto has overwhelmed the world!!
