There are lot of things going on in Russia at the moment like the central banks and parliament house are not in cooperation with each other so nothing at the moment is clear.
The Russian crypto market contributes about $200 billion and is around 12% share of the market so who's at the loss?
Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said in an interview that he hopes the regulations will be passed into law by the end of the year.
They drafted a
Bill for crypto regulations as per finance minister against the will of central banks and then they are issuing various statements like this one :
Cryptocurrencies should be not be given legal currency status and treated only as an investment vehicle, the Russian finance ministry said Monday.
So the situation is not exactly clear as to what their intentions are or the bill will have what kind of action like ban or regulation? So let's wait for it to happen.
Speaking about internet and bitcoin then government can legally shut it down and then only options left in case of btc is TOR and other services which will allow you to secretly operate but that's not good.It cannot be stopped as the mechanism is built that way which the government fears but sooner or later they will realise this mistake.
But this is what will happen if they go negative around bitcoin and put a Bill to ban it :
1) The market will go once again red which is common and there will be new FUD around the market
2) The panic sellers would contribute their best so we can say that it will go to around $33-$32k
3)The prices will boom once everything is settled down in the long run and btc holders who understands it knows this fact.
4) This will become another china topic and then no talks would be there for it.
The Bitcoin is future even they accept it or not.
