Russia bails out Trust Bank in first ruble crisis rescue
http://news.yahoo.com/russian-minister-talks-ruble-104459436--finance.html

I have a feeling this is only the tip of the iceberg , but I'm wondering if Russians will move a % of their wealth into Bitcoin in this time of crisis

Letting banks fail when the country's economy is in a crisis is not a good idea. So I am not surprised by this.
While Russians might move their wealth out of Roubles into other currencies, I think what matters is the ease of movement. Would it be easier to buy USD for roubles or easier to buy bitcoins?

This is true. Banks' health is very important to a country's economy as without healthy banks credit will free and the lack of a credit market will cause economic activity to slow down.

It is a generally good economic policy to only let banks fail when the economy is healthy and can absorb such a shock (especially when preventing larger banks with a large economic footprint to not fail in times of economic crisis)

It probably would be easier to buy turnips, though the right question is "would it be smarter to buy turnips?
And, after buying turnips, would these turnips be immediately sold [at a loss/discount] for real money, AKA $$$, and what would that [dumping] do to turnip prices?

It will make them turn to the east even more than they have been. I think they might try to start a new BRICS trade agreement, as they all seem to be getting sick of the g7 pushing them around.

It is possible that their economy collapses though, then the BRICS will know who is still boss.

Please ignore the trolls and don't quote them. Quoting their idiocy means their messages are displayed.

What makes you think the Russian people, those intelligent and well-educated enough to have savings, are going to ~~start flushing their money down the toilet~~ invest in Beanie Babies?

You didn't fix shit. You made yourself look like a moron once again by confusing Beanie Babies with something that could be replaced on any of these quotes. Keep it moronic.

You seem a bit upset, zyzzbrah?
I imagine your newfound poverty (stemming, no doubt, from various ~~embarrassing~~ shrewd Bitcoin "investments") is likely responsible for your atrocious manners, so I'll overlook your lack of tact.
But just this once.

wasn't bitcoin banned in russia, i don't think they will ever move something in to it

There is a culture of not giving a shit about law in Russia, so they might, especially in case things go really bad, and Putin bans USD bank accounts.

Zyzzbrah, I appreciate your approach. But the best approach of all with these serial trolls is the ignore button

These trolls must be getting schooled until Bitcoin goes up again and they leave by themselves out of shame. Meanwhile they must not camp free trying to impregnate their delusional views into clueless newcomers.

Funny, I must have struck a nerve with NotLambchop calling him out for being one of the most ignored trolls on bitcoin talk. Now he's trying to act tough and do the same thing to me but with one of his alt accounts, Freebambi Shocked
