In yesterday's news over the radio I've heard that bitcoin maybe announced illegal in Russia because of the negative attitude of the Ministry of Economy of Russia and some other governmental bodies.
even if this is true, that means nothing has changed in Russia. for years the news has been the same. someone says bitcoin should be banned and some others say bitcoin should NOT be banned and so far they have done nothing for years. and bitcoin is growing in Russia. they are even talking about seriously starting mining it.
Do you think it's a real threat to a Bitcoin in Russia?
bans are never serious threat to bitcoin anywhere.
May these governmental measures have an international impact?
on bitcoin, no.
on price, yes temporarily. but as i said nothing has changed so far to want to have any kind of effects! someone just "talked" that is all and talk is air.
