Is it just me, or did russia suddenly got interested in BTC? I usually have fiatleak running in the background, and it has been running for about 10 hours now i guess, and i suddenly noticed a lot of transactions in RUB. Note that this also was largely during evening and night time in russia, but somehow they got more transactions in RUB than in USD which is quite amazing and i don't think this has happened before, or has it? I always thought it was like this: 1) CNY 2) U.S. (or at least USD) 3) EUR 4) RUB 5) JPY 6) Rest But apperantly Russia is second place now?

Probably some news on the Russian TV/newspapers. It is good that we are distributed globally, as the US started to slow down China picked up and when China has some bad news the Russians are stepping.

So know we're having a Russia Hype? Has the Chinese one already faded?

Not really. There are lot of people interesting in bitcoin, but nothing special happening. It's just a common trend. I wrote a couple of the most popular russian articles about bitcoin for newbies and here are their stats: (red, blue and orange lines; others is for articles about batteries)

Russians traditionally like virtual currencies (WebMoney and Yandex Money exist for 10-15), Bitcoin is not an exception! Most likely it happens because banking and credit cards were not available for most population until recently.

I see that as a deterrent in Bitcoin adoption actually. Same way the Kipochi plan failed.

For virtual currency to become mainstream, however, it would need regulation, said Gref, who was also reported as saying that virtual currency “‘experiments’ must end in one or two crashes” before they are firmly established. Russia has been relatively silent on regulation of virtual currencies to date I can't simply comprehend how this could possibly go for an "endorsement" to use virtual currencies...

Perhaps the thinking is "crash" one was 2011, "crash" two was April 2013, so a crypto is now "firmly established"? :-)

Maybe, he has a point (or two, lol)... Baptism of blood

For all i can see btc-e has the lowest price among the exchanges. That hardly indicates any hype
