My guess is they just are upset that they aren't getting their cut of the cash.

There are no laws about using of virtual currencies and about converting them into cash. But BTC-E already stopped deposits and withdrawals in russian roubles at 8th february.

True it won't stop people from breaking the law if they want to.  It does hurt adoption of bitcoin though, at least in Russia anyways. If bitcoin is banned in any country then you won't see stores accepting bitcoin, you wont see atms,  you wont see people openly offering bitcoin related services ,  which is too bad. 

I think bitcoin and will thrive through in other parts of the world regardless if a few countries outlaw it.  Just like China bans/blocks porn but the porn industry still thrives in other parts of the world.  Or facebook thrives even though its blocked in parts of the world. Etc etc.

I do feel sorry for people in Russia though who want to get involved in bitcoin.

well I guess this small price drop is caused by Russia.

Prices will return to normal after most of russians will dump their coins.

So sorry for Russia that they cant grow Bitcoin together with us.

the price drop was caused by the sheep following the MTGOX ticker price, and then panicking on other exchanges to sell at losses.

the Russian financial laws have not changed for years, the meetings in January and start of February were not law making meetings. they were just discussion and information finding meetings.

chapter 6 article 27 simply says the ruble is the legal tender and nothing will change that.

if you truly believe that alternative forms of money/currency is banned from being exchanged/traded/purchased in russia. then i guess 'bururea de change stores were closed last week.... wait, their still open and running.

I DO NOT TRADE OR ACT AS ESCROW ON THIS FORUM EVER.
Please do your own research & respect what is written here as both opinion & information gleaned from experience. many people replying with insults but no on-topic content substance, automatically are 'facepalmed' and yawned at

Came to write this...they would have to make firewall against btc.
Also what will they do if they discover someone's using btc? Will they go to jail?

hehe.

So funny Smiley
but 50% you are right.
What means normal price - normal price for  me is a price that was stable for long time.

But you are right it might sounds wierd a little bit.
Smiley

and oh well, 50$ is for sure not a normal price for bitcoin Tongue
