Russia 2018, another turning-point to the Crypto-community?

[freesia_pnp888]

why not, it's the biggest sport event on the world, million or billion people will watch it so the chance for bitcoin to reach out is huge!

[Nahl]

world cup is big event and almost all of people in this world very excited to be a part of this tournament and if you says true that in Russia you can spend your bitcoin with plenty kind of service then this is good opportunities to try that and bitcoin users from other countries who arrive at there can spend their bitcoin for hotels, restaurants or anything else

An event beneficial to BTC
It could be a turning point for Russian financial markets

[dollarneed]

Sorry i doubt, even though many merchants accept bitcoin as the payment method at that event but seems like people prefer to hold their bitcoin instead of spending them, on the other hand, they will likely to pay the hotels with the cash or credit card as I can see in some biggest events before. I don't mean to spread the negative vibes here people see bitcoin nowadays as an investment tool.

Come 14th June 2018, the world's biggest sporting event, the FIFA World Cup, will kick off in Russia. People from all walks of life will travel to Russia to witness this unique event. To some, this is an opportunity to be there, irrespective of whether their country has qualified or not.
Russia, as we all know, is one of the prominent countries that accepts the use of cryptocurrencies. For this reason, many hotels, restaurants, bars, night clubs, camping sites, tourists sites etc, will definitely make bitcoin a means of payment.
So, could Russia 2018 be an opportunity for cryptocurrencies to spread further far and wide? Could this be an opportunity for cryptocurrency to be made known to those who currently have no idea?
And could this be considered as another turning point to the crypto-community?

Russia has received bitcoin in the country as a means of buying and selling transactions, and this year the world cup is being held in Russia and hopefully it will affect the value of bitcoin and hopefully there will be an increase.
because the whole world knows and definitely uses bitcoin and it will ease deals as long as they are in ruisa.

Yes, certainly this is a big impact for the randy economy, this is a good opportunity for everyone to enter the crypto market. It really brings a good life and a great source of income for everyone to invest in.

[climaxcrypto]

Yes it cab be a turning point of cryptocurrency. Russia world cup fifa 2018 is a great opportunity to communicate bitcoin. Russian government is targeting ICOs and are trying to eliminate the spread of bitcoin usage stating that it mght cause some negative effects to their citizens. But no big changes will possible.

[romero121]

As in the Op, the upcoming event can add more users to the cryptocurrency network. Russia being a prominent part of cryptocurrency will surely use different strategies to fulfill all set of people from different nations. In this regard can see more acceptance for Cryptocurrency for their needs. Maybe that could be a break point for bitcoin by the ongoing year to grow further and reach much higher value.

[jshealth]

Can't say about the intensity of impact because a big section of powerful countries are still leaning towards regulating it.

[Pursuer]

I honestly find it strange that people keep on talking about Russia World Cup and bitcoin since there is absolutely no relationship between the two. Russia is not one of those countries with that much bitcoin adoption, specially not as a currency. bitcoin is legal over there and there are a lot of investors from Russia but that doesn't mean there will be some effects on bitcoin just because World Cup is there. it could have been true only if there were merchants over there accepting bitcoin payment. for example if the hotels, the airlines, the tickets to the games,... were being sold for bitcoin but since that is not the case here then there is no relationship either.

[rexona]

yes I see the opportunity, if in Russia crypto has been accepted and used as a means of payment, because with the number of shops, hotels or restaurants in Russia that receive payments using crypto, it will make the crypto exchange will increase and it will make people who do not know about crypto will know about crypto, and of course it will be very good for crypto development.

[Renal]

This is the right moment along with FIFA's event which took place in russia country if the country can take advantage of opportunities will surely further expand all corners of the country that can recognize bitcoin and the possibility of bitcoin price will rise and keep increasing.

[cryqtovn83]

I though demand for bitcoin and ETH will be increased in this Fifa world cup as man people want to gamble but their country forbidden it so use crypto is nice way as it anonymous to use

[telepath]

Russia, as we all know, is one of the prominent countries that accepts the use of cryptocurrencies. For this reason, many hotels, restaurants, bars, night clubs, camping sites, tourists sites etc, will definitely make bitcoin a means of payment.

Lol, its Russia, not Japan, S. Korea or even China. 99% of people here never heard about crypto, not to mention making transactions or accepting payments by crypto. And all payments in foreign currency and in crypto are officialy forbidden by Russian government. It means if you try to make a payment by crypto here you probably should have problems with police and "kazaky" . Its funny to see how btctalk users fantasizing in this topic because its soo far away from todays reality.

[avoxosuccesful]

I likewise imagine that the effect won't not be so articulated aside from FIFA makes an official statement for the reception of Bitcoin or if the network was proactive in thinking of approaches to boosted the purchasing of tickets, sustenance, convenience, and so on with Bitcoin. and course Russia is one of most digital money adherent so there's nothing workable for bitcoin pick up again their cost in view of assistance of that is fifa occasion, trusting amidst the occasion bitcoin cost including altcoins are somewhat increment into the coinmarketcap, fervor to found in the stream graph in view of fifa occasion held in Russian cryptographic money pick up their prevalence on the planet not just their cost.

[Mezze]

Lol, its Russia, not Japan, S. Korea or even China. 99% of people here never heard about crypto, not to mention making transactions or accepting payments by crypto...

Not just in those countries but all around the world is the same story. Probably 10% of world population has heard about crypto and only few 1-2% do the trading. Future is bright. 

[goldminecrypto]

I have always believe that every event make cryptocurrency big and big. Because Fifa 2018 is a biggest sporting event of this world and many transactions occur through the time. Russia is a country where crypto currency is accepted like a boost and also boost the currency of bitcoin.

[laiya94]

I think this is the time for everyone to by BTC who need to multiply their investment by at least 0.5 times. Due to Russia accepts cryptocurrency payments and so many crypto holders comes to FIFA world cup there should be a heavy pump in upcoming weeks.

Russia is not accepting crypto payments.

[Wahyu aep]

strongly agree with your opinion on the security issues that are the main threat to this event. Such things are usually unpredictable. But you will also agree with me that this is a global event and Russia will not take lightly because it can easily damage the country's reputation if this happens. Their military system is not weak and we all know it. So I think they will start preparing for this event as long as you and I can imagine. But all these same events will not affect the development of crypto currency.
