Why Russia Hates Bitcoin but Might Love the ApplePay

[BIT-Sharon]

"Today, many in the public believe that hackers have been just as successful stealing bitcoin. They’ve pointed to a history of bitcoin hacks like the one compiled by The Guardian. They won’t care about the technical differences between the two kinds of hacks. But it will make a difference to Putin. Bitcoin will be a much tougher beast for him to tame as the market adapts to stronger wallet security. Even if Russian people themselves aren’t allowed to use bitcoin, it will be tougher for the hackers to steal enough credit card funds to pay 300 billion a year in bribery fees once the countries they are stealing from switch to bitcoin."

They rejected bitcoin, so the only way to turn their back on the bitcoins is to accept something opposite, hence Bitcoin

Pretty much this, and given how mainstream applepay will be and materialistic our society is today...they'll accept it with open arms.

Indeed they would if they'd had any computers!

[galdur]

Governments hate bitcoin mainly because the financial industry hates it.

Bitcoin is eminently deflationary and its widespread use would result in
massive savings for businesses and consumers and consequently in wiping
out countless middlemen, useless financial real estate, stocks and bonds
etc. This is extremely bad news for for the obsolete financial system and
the politicians it sponsors.
