You make it sound as if it has already passed, in all honesty what are the odds of this being passed through and becoming legal? That's what I want to know. (Not that it changes much for me since I am American but the more Global Acceptance the better)

Depends on Putin lol. He seems to understand crypto better than most other leaders though, even going on record saying that by definition, no country can have its own cryptocurrency:

So he probably has a deeper understanding of how crypto works than even some users lmao. Looking at the link, he seemed rather open to the idea. He might have stronger opinions behind the scenes though, so I guess we'll see how it goes.
