Topic: Russia Setting Rules for Cryptocurrency Miners (Read 146 times)
Many nations, including china recently have tried to limit the growth of bitcoin. I do not think this will hamper progress in any way. Rather, I foresee a steady growth for bitcoin heading into the future.

The United States and China currently account for about 75% of all the world’s cryptocurrency mining, but Russian cities from St. Petersburg to Kaliningrad also host large mining farms..

Russia is also considering offering its own cryptocurrency, tentatively called the cryptoruble and backed by the country’s energy reserves. There are reports that Russia is also talking with Venezuela about the South American country’s plan to issue its own cryptocurrency (the petro), also based on the country’s energy assets..
