you guys need to aknowledge the fact that russian central bank is not governed by the russian government, putin's party, elite or any other entity that serves russian people. russian central bank just like in most countries in the world is owned by multinational families and clans who oppose the idea of bitcoin becoming mainstream. putin is big enough now to wait for fiat system to crumble a little for him to sieze control and to start issuing money on state level - just like its supposed to be. dont forget the people who are behind central banks, fed, euro etc are way bigger and few steps higher than any president in the world today.
This is kinda true. Take Hitler for example. He took Germany from being possibly the poorest of industrial nations - a nation that had "lost face" before the world when they lost WWI - to being one of the most powerful in the world. And he did it in just 6 years by kicking the Jews' banking system out.
It took the banking system a long time to recover from the wound that Hitler gave them. If Hitler had been a good guy, if he had not been a bit crazy, killed a whole bunch of innocent people for nothing, he might have become famous and conquered the banking system for real. Of course, we wouldn't have Bitcoin then, because we wouldn't need it.
As it is, the banking system used the United States and Russia to conquer Hitler before he could destroy them. After all, you hear about the holocaust on a regular basis. But you seldom hear about the fact that Stalin might have murdered as many as 10 times more in Russia and surrounding nations than Hitler did. And look at the 55 million of its own citizens the U.S. has killed through abortions!
