Topic: Bitcoin in Russia is either banned or accepted? (Read 3594 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? 
as I ketahu bitcoin in Russia it is forbidden to why and why its causes and consequences I do not know exactly about it 
read this article:https://bit.news/eng/events-cryptocurrency-world-week-november-28-4-december-2016/
it states that "Per official info upon the status of cryptocurrency in Russia, which is contained in the official letter of the Federal Tax Service, Russian law does not prohibit transactions with Bitcoin"

it seems that the grey area surrounding legality of bitcoin usage in Russia is no longer there

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.
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.
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.

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. 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 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.
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.
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.
but i think it is not illegal in Russia, because the government of Russia has not yet given any official statement about bitcoin that either bitcoin is legal or illegal in Russia and that is the reason that still people there still using bitcoin in Russia.

i think it is no banned in Russian either the news are wondering for a long time so many statement has been posted related to this news but still there is no official order from the government of Russia and the fact is that there are so many Russian earning money from bitcoin. i think the government of Russia like our country have not yet given any statement about bitcoin.
I think it is not banned at there as I am seeing a large number of people from Russia using bitcoin and they do not have claimed any issue facing while they use bitcoin.
Beats the hell out of me. There's loads of talk from all sides but i ain't seen many concrete decrees in either direction.
there are mixed news about this some people says that it is banned but other says that it is not banned but still not consider it legal. we can see a lot of people here from Russia. if it is banned there then what are they doing here.

You see with Russia it is never easy to say what they are thinking. Russian official line of legislation is very unstable.
They leap between tolerance and hostility toward Bitcoin. There are no clear official guidelines for regulating cryptocurrency at this time.
All we know - Bitcoin is not banned in Russia ATM. I was at one point in the past, but government failed to enforce it so they gave up.

nobody except a Russian knows this.
I say this because over the past I have heard all kinds of different news about Russia and bitcoin. you read on the news sites (which are never a good source) that Russia has banned bitcoin, then you hear someone on the social media saying no I live there and there is no such law and the news site is full of it.
if you ask me I think there is only talk about banning bitcoin in Russia and they have not set any laws for that and my reason is the big ass bitcoin conference that was held in Moscow a couple of months ago and it is set to happen each year.
I remember that the russian governement banned it, and then made it legal again.
The problem Poetin and friends have, that the russian economy is going downwards, because russia fights with europe. The sanctions made it bad for them, so they banned bitcoin to prevent money to go out of russia.
I have seen a lot of Russian bitcoin investment site I believe they will not ban it if they ban it Russians who are into crypto currency will find a way to get involve in this industry,because this industry is still young and there are a lot of things to explore..

In my opinions, it's not real to banned bitcoin. maybe a few month Russian is say using bitcoin in their region is included on illegal activities but I don't know the continue of that problem. http://www.coindesk.com/russias-bitcoin-ban-draft-bill-withdrawn/
The legal statues of Bitcoin differ from country to country , but it is not official recognized in any country as I think .
Regardin Bitcoin statue in Russia , in 2015 the central bank of Russia said that Bitcoin usages was illegal in Russia , after that the Russia government has banned Bitcoin , but now they have an intention to consider Bitcoin as foreign currency and they will regulate its buy and sell operations.
