I don't really think it will affect the price of Bitcoin now but in future, do you remember when El Salvador accepted the use of Bitcoin?, what happened after the big new, do you observe any changes. Or should we say El Salvador is a small country that their capacity cannot pull and skyrock the market.
If Russia is considering the acceptance of Bitcoin for transaction, then don't expect the price of Bitcoin to spike up immediately, the price would rise based on their continuous and consistently demanding Bitcoin for transaction.
I understand the point you're trying to make but you shouldn't leave out the fact that their a tendency of that happening it's under probability and also the economy of Russia is by far greater than that of El Salvador and yes one would be right to say what you've just stated.
Remember most of the top Cryptocurrency whales are from Russia infact the founder of Ethereum is from Russia, Telegram CEO Pavel Durov is from Russia those two might not be operating in that country but they have other top Business men and industries that are in Russia who would be happy to jump into using Cryptocurrency to enable transaction as the globe with other business partners since they've been affected by the ban which distrupt them from trading with the Euro or their local currency across the globe, that alone is enough to influence the market, though it might not spike up immediately.
Someone can send me bitcoin or any other crypto from abroad and I can spend it in naira in less than 30 minutes. 30 minutes is an overestimation because it will not be long up to that before I will convert it to naira. I have used bitcoin, bitcoin lightning network and altcoins to pay for good and services online. Although, this is not common but I have used it before several times. I have used USDT to fund dollar master card before.
I think you misunderstood the point I was trying to make, I wasn't referring to Nigerians in that statement you quoted but rather to the Russian citizens. However I understand the point you're trying to make and rather than converting a digital asset sent to me to Naira I'll rather convert it to USDT which is more better, our economy is terrible and saving in Naira is as good as being useless.
Also it depends on the amount of bitcoin or any other cryptocurrencies sent to you or do you want to tell me that you can squander $10- 30k worth of bitcoin in space of 30 mins? If what you spent it on won't yield profit or ain't beneficial then such lifestyle ain't worth it.
