LOL. 15 Russian banks have just collapsed with almost-complete deposit losses, their deposit insurance fund is empty, but they are warning people against the use of bitcoin.
The second most ridiculous statement about bitcoin after Cyprus central bank

Do you have more info on that?
Got this news from one of my contractors who lives in russia. I asked him to send me the complete list of sources and will post it soon.
It's 3 medium banks and 12 small banks that were crashed. More banks collapses are coming soon as insurance fund was depleted to partially cover deposits from the first 3 banks.
That was published in their regional press in multiple small articles. For obvious reasons they don't publish it at once at prime time. I wonder why western media still is not aware of this issue.
I'm surprised that Russians are still keeping their money in banks. Don't they remember how it was in 1998 when almost all the russian banks crashed with complete loss of deposits?
