major banks all over the world are warming up to BTC, Visa even. Now this, Russia lightening up; this opens the door to BRICS working with blockchain. Ive got a feeling 2016 is going to be a very big year. MOON!

Well, 2014 was also a year of hype due to VCs pouring in, but we didn't see moon that year. Hope 2016 would be good to us all, given that block reward halving is also on the way. If Putin even reconsidered using bitcoins for some of his transactions, it could be hyped upon by the community and other people as well.

Quote

Russian President Vladimir Putin believes that the use of Bitcoins and other cryptocurrency acceptable. Such a statement the president made during the educational forum "Territory of meanings on the Klyazma" is a live broadcast channel "Russia 24".

"They are in no way provided this money, that's the whole point, is the main problem. They are useless and do not really tied in no way guaranteed. But in general, as the unit of account as they're called, "coin", they can be used, they are more and more widely spread. Like any equivalent in some segments of calculation, probably, probably, "- said the president.

Earlier, Putin spoke about "Chocolate period" in the economy.

Most interesting is perhaps that the "Chocolate period" in the economy remains uncommented Grin

putin just realize he can evade a SWIFT ban with bitcoin Huh

most likely some one mention bitcoin around hes financial advisory reunions and he could be now thinking about making some moves, lets say he has about 2 billion usd on active reserve he wants to move around the globe freely bitcoin would do just the trick.

Yes, liquidating your assets can be easily done by means of using bitcoin because it isn't tied to any personal documents of the user or whatsoever. If this is the case, then Putin may have found the greatest tool he can probably use to move some money around.

Leave no FUD unchallenged

You'd think if it was on their twitter, they'd have at least some mention of it on their website. Granted, I haven't read all the articles from today. But there's no mention of "Putin" "Russia" or "virtual" in any of today's headlines. Let's wait and see what the source is for this.

Putin could use bitcoin to overcome some of the nato and usa restrictions, this could be pretty big if it actually happens, Russia has more then the bitcoin market cap to move around like a bag of coins in days or weeks, transactions would be huge.

Somehow I doubt that russia will adopt bitcoin as a national currency lol. But if this is true it can only be a good thing for wider adoption of coins.

http://rt.com/news/222215-russia-bans-bitcoin-sites/

I mean apparently some bitcoin related sites are blocked in Russia

"The only unchanging thing is change". So everything can be change. Maybe 1 year later russians will be a country using bitcoin

Any sources that Putin did say this? Another source might be helpful and not just from a single tweet. Also, Russia has banned bitcoin so I don't think that Putin will even consider using bitcoin for some of his/their transactions.

Is this a change is stance for them then? I thought I had read somewhere in the past that Russia had banned Bitcoin.

Title: RUSSIA'S BITCOIN WEBSITE BAN OVERTURNED IN RUSSIAN COURT
URL: https://archive.is/YFd80
Date: 16th of May 2015

Just goes to show that only the negative news get mass media attention. The ban was splashed all over the place, while the acceptance seemed to get little attention.
