Topic: Bitcoin in Russia is either banned or accepted? (Read 3545 times)
It is still a confusion for rest of world only Russians experience the truth. There are many different perspectives on bitcoin, and whether it is banned in Russia is quite a question. In a communist country like Russia, the government controls absolutely EVERYTHING. You can never trust the news outlets because they are controlled. The Bitcoin in Russia is now considered a foreign currency, and it will be monitored closely.
I think the Russian government will not completely prohibit the use of bitcoin in their country, maybe it was the new plan would still require a more thoughtful consideration again
to me the government of Russia has also not given yet any statement about bitcoin, therefore people are using it as legal currency, but if their government consider it as illegal then it will really become difficult for them to use it.
I think the Government of Russia will ban bitcoin although there has been no official statement. all countries know that the use of the bitcoin will officially make a country's currency can be abandoned. In addition to this is the issue of taxes, with the State would certainly difficult bitcoin collect taxes, because the Government had no control over bitcoin.Bitcoin is an emerging technology and many countries are undecided what to do with it, so not to end up shooting themselves in the leg. Russia is really not keen about banning bitcoin, because in the short while they tried to move in that direction, they got the rude awakening that a boarderless, free and decentralized currency cannot be swept under the carpet. So now, they are probably marking time to see what the U.S. comes up with and key in.

bitcoin is a new concept in the world everywhere i accept that its not that new but still it is in the development stage.and as qe know rssian givernment has declared to band bitcoin and anybody usimg it will considered illigal usage.but nowdays we can see the huge market growths and those are actully exactly what everyone has pridicted some months ago so its a fact tat russian government will try to resolve that issue soon because of the koney growth.
Russian government has received bitcoin as a currency in circulation there since last November. Russia's positive attitude and will treat virtual currency, Bitcoin in particular, such as foreign currency. It's very good for the development of bitcoin as the population of Russia is very much will help the bitcoin in order to grow and increase the price.
very true, at least in moscow

Bitcoin in Russia is either banned or accepted?

I live in a country close to Russia, so I guess I understand what is really going on there. I know some people from Russia using Btc (accepting it as a salary). That should mean that you can probably even exchange it for local currency (didn't check but I'm sure there are people in the main towns which can be seen on Localbitcoins). However, officially it is illegal which in such countries means that if you are an influential person and not against Putin then it's nothing if you are caught. If you can't give a bribe, against Putin and not from a known family - you can go to jail for a couple of years.

Everyone knows, bitcoin is including commodities, so many countries that provide a neutral statement about the bitcoin. does not prohibit, but also did not approve of. I think it's what makes bitcoin increasingly attractive.

In addition to this is the issue of taxes, with the State would certainly difficult bitcoin collect taxes, because the Government had no control over bitcoin. I think it is banned in there but people still use it at there as no one can find that who is the owner of bitcoins and who are using it in a specific country, so even with ban on it people at there are using it.
Russia made an attempt to ban bitcoin and we know the authorities are very uncomfortable with the decentralized nature of bitcoin and which is exactly, what have made them look like toothless bull dogs, because it is a losing battling, fighting something that is not regulated and decentralized. Should be a big lesson for other countries trying to toy with bitcoin.

to me it is still accepted.
my personal view is that it is not banned in Russia and even not in any other country, but no government has not yet consider it as legal currency therefore people are using it everywhere and from every country.
to bitcoin is still not banned nor accepted in Russia just like other countries, i have notices that most of the countries has yet not given any statement about bitcoin, but still people of Russia are also using bitcoin just like other people.
Bitcoin in Russia is either banned or accepted?
last year i heard in news that bitcoin is banned in russia, now maybe it is accepted but probably it is still banned, but of course i might be wrong
before it was banned but still people were able to use it as none of the government is able to detect that their citizens are using bitcoins, but now it is allowed by the government and now there is no any restriction over its usage in Russia.
