Watch this videos guy...

Putin says he has discussed cryptos with the central bank's head. Central bank has already said it's willing to regulate Bitcoin, not ban it.
That's a good sign of Russian authorities warming up to Bitcoin.

if you know russian could you translate the section of video about virtual currency ?

I think the most important words from that video have been translated already.

What is written there is correct. In the video they also talk about electronic fiat payments, but that's irrelevant to this discussion.

Putin vision is getting to the point anything that could help over come the western restriction on Russia will work, bitcoin here we go.

I don't think he would have spoken positively about bitcoin if there is no good reason behind it.
Russia is partially excluded from the world's financial flows due to sanctions so any way to overcome this blockage is good for them.
In the long run this attitude of Russia towards the bitcoin could be good for us. It remains to be seen.

Is that a world leader addressing students in an easy going way? Breath of fresh air! How hard is it to learn Russian and could I make it pay?

They banned bitcoin before because they couldn't control it.

Can you stop spreading bullshit, please...

Oh yea? Of course they banned it because they have not power over it. Because they said: 'the ban is necessary as monetary surrogates are widely used for buying illegal goods and money laundering'.

Also Russian government want to protect people from cryptocurrencies as they stated: 'Cryptocurrencies have no real value and their prices are determined due to speculations.
So, there is a great risk that investors will lose their money'

From what I can see it looks like they hate bitcoin because people can do whatever they want with BTC and government can't do shit about it.

I want you to get your facts straight. There is no, and never was any kind of a ban on Bitcoin in Russia. There are currently different interpretations of existing laws, but it doesn't amount to a ban, it's regulatory uncertainty.

PS. What you cited is not the law, it's a project of the law that will be reviewed by Duma this August, IIRC. If it passes in its current form, then there will be a ban I guess.

I think it's clear now that governments are taking neutral or even positive stances about Bitcoin because they will start building their own Bitcoin national reserves for the future, just like they do with gold. They will probably keep it secret and only release this information if other countries start releasing it. Until they, make no mistake, governments are hiring traders to build stacks of Bitcoin and they will continue to do so for as long as BTC is this cheap.

Putin’s mentioning of ‘coins’ at an educational forum for the young people provoked a wide range of reactions from bitcoiners and non-bitcoiners, both Russian and foreign.

There is an article about this reaction on Coinfox:

They probably will make their own state controlled crypto coin, like Ecuador or Bolivia said they are going to do.

I doubt Russia will officially adopt something they can't control

I have to agree Russian government is obsessed with control and dominance. They banned bitcoin before because they couldn't control it.
But as the time goes they realize digital currency is the future and it would be a waste not to invest/research this.
If they adapt bitcoin it would be awesome, but if they create RussiaCoin or something like that it will be used only as equivalent for Rubles.
Used only by Russian citizen and controlled by government, it is not not exactly a bright future we want.

How is that for skeptical? http://ria.ru/technology/20150714/1128671862.html

His press secretary is saying do not consider putin's words as support for bitcoin Huh

That's usually what press secretary does - make sure the words are as vague as possible. Cheesy

It might be damage control, meaning that the president has said something which does not have a consensus within the government.
