I'm always surprised that Russia isn't more active in mining Bitcoin
There are a few reasons behind this
First of all, people are not very familiar with Bitcoin in Russia overall. Second, China had an advantage before Russia as well as most other countries (barring, maybe, the US) in respect to the ease of getting mining equipment. Basically, China happens to manufacture the equipment used for mining, so it is no surprise that it takes a leading position in Bitcoin mining. And last (but likely not least), wealthy people in Russia are not the same kind of wealthy people in China. Most of their wealth comes from selling natural resources and arms which China is a net importer of, and they just don't feel very interested in Bitcoin and earning profits through Bitcoin mining (when they can just continue selling oil and natural gas as well as tanks and fighters to the same China)
seems not only is the logic of difference between citizen and government too much for people to grasp, but geography too.
russia is not even in europe.. so not sure why russia was mentioned... not even sure why governments arms trading is mentioned in relation to citizens choice of using a different currency.. russian government selling guns to china govrnment has nothing at all to do with individual peoples choice or to do with the topic of bitcoin
Russia is part of Europe but it is not entirely in Europe (you obviously ditched your geography lessons). As usual, you don't get the intricacy and complexity just one level below what is on the surface. First, it is not the government itself that sells arms and natural resources. You could claim that the arms trade is monopolized by the state, but it is still separate companies engaged in that activity. And it is obviously not the case with natural resources which are extracted, processed and sold by non-government companies (Gasprom, for example, is closely affiliated with the government but it is still a publicly traded company). Second (and this is where you fail to deliver), the money that these companies and the government receive does trickle down to lower tiers, which the wealthy part of Russian population basically consists of. In short, the rich Russians are rich because they get their share of the resource rent, and they don't give a fuck about Bitcoin as long as their cash inflow doesn't run dry...
