Hi,
What you descried here is quite logical in fact. The bitcoin community is large in Russia... and supposedly no member of the government or director of any powerful institution is part of it. So it is a "soft" war beteween the people, simple individuals, and the haves.
I guess that one day, countries will no longer be able to ignore bitcoin. That is why many governments are trying to design legislation about crypto. However, for them, the bitcoin (and the other alt coins) is a threat. It cannot be manipulated at will, the blockchain cannot be corrupted. I guess this is quite hard to handle for them, because they often use those tools.
Consequently: no, I don't think any government is ready to officially legalize bitcoin. But if the community grows enough and the use of bitcoin get spread... Maybe we stand a chance!
