Russia will issue its own crypto currency - the minister of communications

Cryptor will have its own features

Moscow, October 14 - AIF-Moscow.
Russia will issue its own crypto currency, the cryptoruble. This decision was made by the Russian president, Nikolai Nikiforov, Minister of Communications and Mass Communications, said at a closed meeting with members of the Moscow Capital Club.

Nikiforov referred to the text of the government's decree with all the regulations. "I so confidently declare that we will launch a cryptor for one simple reason: if we do not, then in 2 months our neighbors in the Eurasian Economic Community will do it," the minister said.

In his opinion, the cryptoruble will be made quickly. For the efficiency of the cryptor, it is planned to streamline the payment of personal income tax. So, if the owner can not explain the reason for the appearance of his cryptorubles, when translating them into Russian rubles, the tax for him will be 13% of the total. When buying and selling a cryptoruble, the amount will be 13% from the earned difference. All these issues have yet to be discussed, said Nikiforov.

The minister explained that the creation of a cryptoruble would not equal the legalization of bitcoin and other crypto-currencies. Russia's crypto currency should use Russian cryptography, the minister said. In addition, the cryptor will not be able to "mine". Nikiforov explained that most likely, it will be a closed model with a certain volume of regulated emissions.

Interesting. Thanks a lot for all your informations. And...Waves has something to say here??? Do you know something more? This could be really HUGE. Cheers.

Don't get your hopes up too high Wink

I think Waves would be an excellent platform if they need it to be launched quickly and, especially with NG on testnet, ready to handle thousands of transactions per minutes.

But for now, I have no proof if Waves is involved in any way.
Even if it was, I guess the people involved would have to sign an NDA.

So for now, it's just "news".
