Hi,

What you descried here is quite logical in fact. The bitcoin community is large in Russia... and supposedly no member of the government or director of any powerful institution is part of it. So it is a "soft" war beteween the people, simple individuals, and the haves.

I guess that one day, countries will no longer be able to ignore bitcoin. That is why many governments are trying to design legislation about crypto. However, for them, the bitcoin (and the other alt coins) is a threat. It cannot be manipulated at will, the blockchain cannot be corrupted. I guess this is quite hard to handle for them, because they often use those tools.

Consequently: no, I don't think any government is ready to officially legalize bitcoin. But if the community grows enough and the use of bitcoin get spread... Maybe we stand a chance! Wink
I believe that BIT is not supposed to be legalized in Russia in nearest future, moreover I don think that Russian goverment support the idea of having any crypto currencies (maybe apparto from crypto rub Smiley ). But mining crypto society and is very developed. Big bisnesess are becoming engaged in blockchain and mining.Sberbank and AlfaBank had transactions via their blockchain protocols, it means a lot.Many big and high-potential ICOs are held in Russia as well. Therefore, many interesting ICOs such as KickCity or others emerge in Russia.

What is KickCity?

It is company known for Decentralized Event Management & Marketing Protocol on Blockchain. Read their telegram chat: https://t.me/kickcity_chat . U can find everything in there.

We all know that cryptocurrency and Russia have contradictory relationships.

Russia seeking for the way how to regulate cryptocurrency, for example, some of Russians officials claim that bitcoin and cryptocurrency should be considered as "goods" and not a "currency". Also, they banned well known Russian media about cryptocurrency. They still don't want to legalize Bitcoin explaining that this currency is used for money-laundering and illegal business.

On the other hand, there are a lot ICO campaigns in Russia. Almost every week the crypto and blockchain events are organized. And Russian crypto community is quite big. There is project I also represent. So that is why it is very important for me. You can also join our telegram chat for more information https://telegram.me/kickcity_chat

Do you believe that one day Russian government will legalize Bitcoin and join cryptocommunity?

How could somebody trust anything that comes from Russia and fin this case Sberbank

Let me give you a few examples of the total mess:

Quote
Sberbank CEO Herman Gref has “agreed” on the development of a Russian national cryptocurrency with the country’s central bank.
Sberbank is Russia’s major state-controlled bank. In unofficial reports from local news aggregators, the so-called “Russian Bitcoin” will use Sberbank as its base and will be “the only cryptocurrency freely available for sale and purchase” in the country.
“All other [cryptocurrencies] will only be available via exchanges or trading platforms

After that we have

Quote
Just recently, a top executive of Sberbank (Chief Technology Officer Pavel Khodalev) attended the International Blockchain Week in China. For Sberbank’s CTO, Blockchain is a transformation that will blaze a trail for the whole world. Although the attitude in Russia about Bitcoin has not been positive, Sberbank continuously gets involved in programs to introduce a local Blockchain consortium. The bank is working hard to change inaccurate impressions regarding the platform even as the bureaucracy is quite impervious to such technologies because of long periods of tumultuous reforms.

Quote
The possibility of creating a crypto fund is considered on the basis of the Swiss subsidiary of the Savings Bank - Sberbank (Switzerland) AG.
"We are experimenting with blocking, and blocking is not only bitcoin, it's different stories. We have different ideas about creating a crypto fund, but everything is not easy. He [bitcoiyn] grows at such a rate, and mining bitcoin rather limited. As soon as the problem with mining is resolved, it will be visible there, "he said, commenting on the interest of Sberbank's" daughter "in Switzerland to the blockade and the crypto currency.

Every news we hear from Russia is about establishing a new blockchain and a new state owned and control coin.
There is no way they are going to accept something they can't control, they will either put some laws and methods in place to avoid capital outflow or they will just do nothing about legalization.

I think if Russians are so fond of its president Putin, who directed Russia toward violation of international law - occupation of territory of other country (Crimea in Ukraine) and waging war against neighboring state, and hybrid war against many countries, they can choose Putin coin as primary currency.

I was surprised when I heard about PutinCoin, but it really exists and even listed on Coinmarketcap https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/putincoin/
And it's cheap now - $0.017331

Of course there is possibility that Putin won't be next president, but I don't want to go deep into politics in this thread.
About Putincoin I heard from Russians they presented it as something they are proud of.

Please dont treat all russians alike. It's sounds offensive and unfair

According to the news, in October five presidential orders have clarified a situation around bitcoins. They plan to tax crypto miners, regulate ICOs, sandbox legislation for newly developed blockchain technologies, and form a single payment space.

I agree...besides, I'm so biased about the post-Soviet countries, that can't believe that they can keep pace with the times and adopt easily new technologies

I'm sure they don't want to miss the moment so i'm quite positive they're working hard on the acceptable models for them. Since this seems to be the way the things will be done in the future, whoever sets up the functional national system of crypto payments first will have the edge over others.

I'm glad they still haven't banned ICO campaigns
