Not cool...
But I just don't understand why!
Why is Russia trying to fight bitcoin? It's not like it was a threat for it.

It's not interesting for the government to fight it.

its not a direct attack on bitcoin.. its an attack on unregistered exchanges.. lots of non bitcoin related (unregistered) money businesses can be affected.
the term is money surrogates.. which isnt limited to bitcoin.

its the crypto media that are spinning the news as clickbait.

Oh ok.

But that means if I use btc as a business but register the exchanges and pay the taxes, I won't have any problem no? Cause in this case it's just very similar to anything existing anywhere in the world!
Russian? Use google.
