Other countries will definitely follow, but you have to understand that where Asian countries have Japan as main example, European or North American countries don't have that. I am quite sure that they are waiting for one country in their continent to set the first step, where after that the rest will follow. It will take time but eventually it will happen.

Are we living on a different planet? Why do they need some example from their neighboring countries if they could act as an example to everyone. I wonder what and who will make a stand for it to do and start a change. Kudos to that country!

Poccийcкaя влacть cчитaeт, чтo кpиптoвaлютa пpeкpacнo пoдxoдит для oтмывaния дeнeг, финaнcиpoвaниe тeppopиcтичecкиx opгaнизaций. Кoнтpoль зa pacпpocтpaнeниeм кpиптoвaлюты пpoиcxoдит c нeкoтopыми тpyднocтями, пoэтoмy тaкaя вaлютa cчитaeтcя yгpoзoй. Гeнepaльнaя пpoкypaтypa вынecлa зaкoн, кoтopый твepдит, чтo биткoин oбъявлeн внe зaкoнa.

Pyбль этo eдинcтвeннaя oфициaльнaя вaлютa Poccии, a биткoин cчитaeтcя кaк зaмeнитeль нacтoящиx дeнeг. Пoэтoмy кpиптoвaлютa нe мoжeт иcпoльзoвaтьcя oфициaльнo кaк фиpмaми, тaк и чacтными лицaми.

The Russian government believes that the crypto currency is perfectly suited for money laundering, the financing of terrorist organizations. Control over the distribution of crypto currency occurs with some difficulties, so this currency is considered a threat. The Prosecutor General's Office passed a law that says that bitcoin is outlawed.

The ruble is the only official currency in Russia, and bitcoin is considered a substitute for real money. Therefore, the crypto currency can not be used officially by firms or individuals.

Then i would say most of the people from Russia are against of any crypto currency, do they? Everything could be controlled through regulations and laws. Anyway, i've read some news that Russian government is finalizing their federal law about cryptocurrency regulation.

I do not recommend paying attention to the position of the Russian government. It is a cruel, authoritarian and kleptocratic state. All who are in power in Russia are interested in that the population lived badly. Poor people are always easy to control. Cryptocurrencies give people freedom. Putin does not need such people.
