Nikolai Nikiforov stated:
"Bitcoin is a foreign project for using blockchain technology, the Russian law will never consider bitcoin as a legal entity in the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation."
The article goes on to say:
"However, Nikiforov added that it is "quite possible" that Russia could consider using blockchain technology, as well as various digital tokens. However, he did not provide any context in which the technology might be utilized."Do you think we'll see other countries going down this route?

They are justnprotecting what shouod be protected in their country. As long as we are not from Russia and that we can still earn bitcoin, this news shoukd not affect us. I am just thankful that I do not resides on country like this.
