Russia to legalize Crypto Mining Soon

[Bitstar_coin]

They only realize it when they experience the lack of financial system to be use at this time. Probably they will definitely reflect on their wrong doings now.  

In a way, this war has really put the spotlight on crypto than before the war, but i doubt putin is capable of reflecting on any wrong doing, especially when he thinks he is doing the right thing. the sanction makes everything more faster, all doors where close to Russia and crypto becomes the perfect alternative, btc was created as an alternative to fiat and this situation shows it.

True or not, I think this news is very positive, and I judge all the positive news that happened
that step by step crypto is very useful for countries experiencing problems and crypto has a solution.
crypto can reverse the situation that bans will accept and those who hate will love it, and there's no denying it because it's real and we should feel good about it and hope it's real and will also set an example for other countries.
and most importantly it will attract many investors and also increase users that crypto has many advantages over fiat.

More nations accept Bitcoin, it's better. More legal tender, it's better. More regulations on Bitcoin and crypto market, it's better.

I see adoption, legal tender, regulation are strongly correlated and they are components to bring Bitcoin and cryptocurrency to everyone on Earth. It's for a better future with more freedom financially.

 Legalizing is one thing, the other is the fact that the energy "must be" cheap there as well considering how much of it they are selling. I have zero clue how much people pay for electricity there, maybe it's very cheap or maybe it is not, if someone who is a Russian would enlighten us (or someone who is not Russian but can google better than me) that would be great. Between the legalization, cold weather, cheap prices then we are talking about something that would be super profitable. At the end of the day it's not really that shocking to see Russia being a great hub for all the crypto miners of the world. It is quite the ideal place for them and checks every single box.

Well said. I believe most crypto investors are happy about this news because it will help the price of the market and also give Bitcoin more reputation but they never give it a thought if the decision will help common people living in the country and how true is the news because the current invasion that happened between the country in the subject make me know how fake news is shared from them and this make it hard for me to know what's really going on there.

In the short term, yes, but in the long term, things like this can only damage that reputation - because if Russia starts using Bitcoin (which I personally don't believe), it would be a reason for even stricter regulations and possible bans. At the moment, Russia has much bigger problems than dealing with such trivial things - it would be ideal for them to do something similar to China, so that we get rid of any doubts about what they think or want to do.

Around $0.071 when you check from the internet. Which means if you have 8 GPU right of 3070 (non-lhr) that would earn you 600 dollars per month. By the looks of it, that wouldn't be enough to survive, but it is certainly a good side income with not too much money spent (less than 20k) and the return rate is quite good as well. The price of electricity is certainly cheaper than most places in other nations, there are a few that are cheaper, but not that many.

Cold air is certainly great but that will also means that you need to be more north or east, places that are closer to west are not as cold as the places that are closer to east, and that means it would be further away to capital, don't know if that matters or not.

yes, so much true. But it is the same for every country. No country will accept it without regulation by the government.
If they can't regulate it, they will ban it. Ukraine has now made the use of bitcoin open to the public, but there is no guarantee that they will not want to regulate bitcoin after the war.

Due to the war, the economic situation of both countries has become fragile. This is where the beauty of Bitcoin comes into play. Whether it is the victim country or the invading country, the conventional economic system and fiat money have done real harm to both. Decentralized bitcoin is the only way to get rid of this barrier.

Russian Deputy Minister of Energy Evgeny Grabchak revealed statement about introducing clear regulations for crypto mining in the country. His statement served as a support for the cryptomarket and the miners within the country, because back in January cryptocurrency mining was banned in Russia.

During the first national conference of legal crypto miners  Grabchak called for introducing a regulatory framework for the sector at the earliest. In his statement he added

"The legal vacuum makes it difficult to regulate this area and set clear rules of the game. This legal vacuum needs to be eliminated as soon as possible. If we want somehow to get along with this activity, and we have no other options in the current reality, we must introduce legal regulation, adding the concept of mining to the regulatory framework".

Russian government to legalize mining soon

I think this is a positive step in the right direction and I see it as an effective method to curb risks associated with the adoption of crypto in the country.
 Should I say this is a welcome distraction from the war with Ukraine as most Bitcoin users will utilise this and will help to maintain a balance. I hope they consider this soon if possible, pass it in to law as it will go a long way to regulate the quantity and allocation of mining operations in the country.

You make a point that the Russian government's plan about using of Bitcoin will be a reason for stricter regulations but there won't be a ban (though some governments will never support the idea of Bitcoin) caused a lot of influencers and celebrities are already into Bitcoin lately.
Let's be honest with ourselves if the Russian government didn't use Bitcoin, Bitcoin regulation by the government is inevitable.

Even if Russia offered free electricity and delivery of your equipment into their country, it would be a terrible idea to take up any sort of contract that was subject to Russian laws. This latest war by Russia on Ukraine is the most shocking example of how erratic the leadership of Putin can be. It's hard to trust a single word that comes out of their government officials and even if you did trust them, there is every possibility that you could get squeezed out by criminal elements which are pervasive all over the country. Any assets within the country are subject to arbitrary seizure or nationalization if things look to be going bad for them. While a few Russians who can navigate this treachery might make a bit of cash, any foreigners would be well advised to keep their hardware out.

Well, given how strongly the Russian economy is being hit by sanctions right now, it's no secret that Russia needs everything it can get to compensate for this change. Not to mention the oil and gas embargo by the US, which is setting an example, while selling these resources is the backbone of Russian economy. I wonder if it'll actually get adopted, though. Another thing I wonder is how many businesses would actually want to be in Russia now, including mining farms, given how fast it's going in the direction of North Korea. Even many Russians (at least around 200 thousand people), especially educated ones, are fleeing the country.

The current political leadership of Russia is not at all interested in the legalization of cryptocurrency. On the contrary, they are trying with all their might not to issue currency from their country. If the cryptocurrency is legalized, then the capital in the form of cryptocurrencies will massively begin to leave Russia with its depreciating ruble.
At the same time, Putin and his entourage, even in the current situation, can use cryptocurrency to try to circumvent international sanctions. The absence of a special law regarding cryptocurrency is not a hindrance for them. But cryptocurrency will not help Putin much either. The fact is that not only capital is monitored, but also the goods for which they are bought or sold.
