Till the video is not verified this will remain as a rumor for now but some of us expects this already because other payment methods are banned in Russia due to sanctions and their last resort now are bitcoin but sanctions have also affected their ability to export or import good from other countries except china so the question is how can they sell oil and gas? Are they booking their clients in advance? And they will accept the pay in bitcoins but they will delay the delivery of the goods till the sanctions have ended?
I think that sounds possible but I am the only one that think of it? Or they have thought of this trick already? Let's wait for a few updates.
If the sanctions were only imposed on the Russian banking sector, then the cryptocurrency would really help them avoid these sanctions. But sanctions are simultaneously imposed on the export or import of certain groups of goods. On the scale of the whole of Russia, their demand in terms of volumes is very large, and such volumes of supplies cannot be hidden from the international community. Cryptocurrency can help circumvent sanctions at the individual level, but at the state level it is much more difficult.
It was reported that oil tankers from Russia try to turn off the navigation system after leaving the sea so that they cannot be tracked, but anyway, after arriving at any port in the world, this immediately becomes known. Anyone who ordered a sanctioned product is himself at risk of being sanctioned.
