That confirms Russia will never completely ban cryptocurrencies. I really like this new humane attitude of Russians after technocracy of Soviet. They know crypto is a social agreement they can't deny.
Russia will ban it for the exact same reasons China banned it, it subverts state power far too greatly. The bans will be completely ineffective mind you but Im positive they'll occur none the less. They'll be similar in efficiency to a child attempting to grasp water with its hand.
Not ban they would want to regulate it because they cant do anything to stop it. Its impossible to stop it. Unless they want to cut-off the internet
