Russia is going to recognize bitcoin,so is it a potential and big market?How can I know more about Russia's market?
Well, I can tell you as a person, who lives not far from Russia and has a lot of friends there, that Russia is quite far from adopting bitcoins. Just considering that it is a big country with approximately population numbers 147 millions there are people that know about bitcoin and even started using it a couple of years ago. But MOSTLY Russians are not familiar with BTC. I guess it now depends on government. And if the government accepts bitcoins, for sure it will become popular, commonly used and, I think, will influence bitcoin price Smiley

Like Japan,they accept bitcoin and recognize bitcoin as a paymnt method,so now Japan is the biggest market,if Russia was following Japan,I think it's good to the economic and have influence in bitcoin price like you said.

By the way,can you tell me how to get in touch with Russians who are interested in bitcoin?Because I am really interested in bitcoin.Thank you.

We cannot tell what will be the movement of Russia towards bitcoin. Bitcoin is still considered lucky since it was banned before in Russia but later on the banning was released and using bitcoin was not considered a crime anymore. But the problem still remains that Russia is still suspicious and watchful over bitcoins and thus it is hard for Russia to follow the footsteps of Japan today.

As soon as they want to regulate Bitcoin, it's NOT good.

We'll get our transactions monitored and they will try to limit the Bitcoin use in Russia. The actions are taken "against Money Laundering". There are more criminals out there than there are using Bitcoin, do you really think BTC is the #1 problem there? We have to first solve the tensions around the world.

Bitcoin was meant to be ANONYMOUS => BTC Regulation = AGAINST BITCOIN!
