Actually Russia is already very involved in bitcoin, and has been since the beginning. All of the eastern countries have great potential for bitcoin.

more or less retired.

India is only an entry level adopter at this point
Not sure that India will be a big player in the foreseeable future

Easy, electronic payments are just not as popular in India or Brazil like they are in the U.S. or Europe. There are millions living without cash in America, paying everything with their credit card, whereas in India, there are millions of people without a bank account.

I used to be a citizen and a taxpayer. Those days are long gone.

Clearly no major economy is big in, otherwise the market cap wouldn't be less than 10 billion!

Coindesk.com has a few articles about the recent RBI decision/guidance in India.

BTC-E.com is arguable the biggest and best exchange, based in Ukraine. I'm very interested to see how BRICS play it as they keep getting treated like bitches in the IMF and as currency/trade wars escalate. As they try to assert their new economic power in the international settlements system I think some of them at least will turn to crypto either as a dark horse piece on the grander chess board or as an outright, open play to undo the IMF.

In Russia downloaded 278,119 purses. This is 5.6% of the total number of downloads. If you focus on this figure, the 0.0019% of the population of this country know and is ready to use Bitcoin. In Russia there are exchange markets. Russian promote some forks, created miner pools and news sites. Unfortunately not yet developed service. But investors remain in uncertainty due to the lack of response from the regulators

India and China have already played their hand. They are both negative on bitcoin. India is cracking down hard and China is hedging its bets... no China is negative as well. Neither one of them will allow it to function as a conduit for capital outflow.

Russia is somewhat connected to BTC-E. But I think BTC-E is based in Bulgaria or is it Ukraine? Anyway I don't think I've heard any official statement from Russia regarding bitcoin. Has anybody else heard of anything from their central bank?

Frankly I don't think we should expect much from any of these countries save Russia. They are not going to jeopardize their economies by letting people put money into BTC. I think when you do that most of the money flows to the west and especially America because all the early adopters are there.
