I am now confused with the news coming from Russia. One day it says Putin is ready to sign and showed support for the new Russian cryptocurrency, and then the next day it says Putin is attacking cryptocurrency. But I guess the main stand for this government is still to make its own crypto. Putin is attacking the crypto that we know now because it seems to have no need to respect any government. It is too independent. And Putin wants absolute power.
Putin is not attacking cryptocurrencies... Please read the full interview.
The problem is people don't read. They just see headlines, jump into conclusions and then start creating unnecessary FUD and then we have the gullible ones falling for it. Putin was never against crypto and in the news, it was stated clearly that he voiced his support for new rules around its trading by using international examples as a guide to develop such regulations.
What is so hard to understand in that ? And I do not see anything bad in all he has stated recently as every government is now trying to see how the whole thing can be regulated so as not to go against their policies which to me is a sensible thing to do.
