Isn't it strange how there are so many contradictory developments on the world stage these days? Not just with bitcoin, with everything.

It seems that confused signals are the new consistency. I guess we better get used to not knowing what to expect next...

It indicates that we are in the "then they fight you" stage, in the battlefield there will certainly be a lot of confusion.

Nice to hear of more discourse in the ranks of the banking elite.  Also talks about the the proposed law restricting Bitcoin in Russia (which the title person is lobbying the Kremlin to stop). 

I almost laughed (or cried) when I read this nugget:

Quote
Lawmaker Shamsail Saraliev of the pro-Putin United Russia party, who co-wrote the bill, said the law would counter terrorism, the illicit drug trade and contract killings.

I guess it's a good thing there was no terrorism, contract killings or drug trade before Bitcoin came along....
