I really do not understand why Russia likes to distant itself from the rest of the world. Russia is about the only country that wants to ban btc, why?
It's very simple to explain.
Here in Russia, in the incredible imbeciles sitting government. For the most part, they take their places because they are friends \ relatives of someone from the authorities, and not because they have achieved something in their fields.
Cryptocurrency, its creation, system principle, they just do not understand. But most importantly, in my opinion, they can not steal the money (interest) from the transaction, as in conventional money transfer.
Another reason. They want to control everything! But cryptocurrency they can not control, and they because very rage.
