You are joking?
You can have cryptocurrency in Russia
Next is the funniest thing: you cannot sell this cryptocurrency (these operations are allowed only through accredited organizations that do not exist yet)
You cannot pay for goods and services with cryptocurrency
You cannot advertise cryptocurrencies and cryptocurrency projects.
That is, access to work with cryptocurrencies is planned through accredited intermediaries
WTF
Under such conditions, the cryptocurrency market will remain in the shadow zone.
Compared to what we have in India, I would prefer the option given by the Russian lawmakers at any point of time. Obviously their legislation is not perfect as what they have in Japan or South Korea. But at least the trade and ownership of cryptocurrency is not a criminal offense (here in India we are facing a real possibility of the authorities making ownership of Bitcoin a criminal offense). Be happy with what you got. Because people like me are in much worse position right now.
Why did you decide that the Russians are unhappy?
A lot of things are prohibited in Russia, but if you need it, then you can make an inquiry on the Internet and buy it.
Therefore, no matter what the legislation on cryptocurrencies in Russia will be, the shadow market will work.
The lack of adequate legislation or a complete ban will lead to a technological lag behind other countries.
This is something to worry about.
