To summarize this,I guess that this is another "bitcoin is shit,but the blockchain is great" type of statement made by a government offcial.It doesn't matter if it's the russian economic minister or some western minister.They are all the same.Now is the right time to talk shit about bitcoin,because many newbies will believe it.Sad but true...

I think so too. In fact, they dont know that there is no blockchain without Bitcoin.
So their words look so ridiculous.

There are now 2100 BITCOIN clones, all essentially using the same source to handle the block-chain, how they differ is marketing, POW, and digital-signatures, and address schemes; BLOCK-CHAIN is just a database, its really tiring how non-CS people talk as if block-chain was something new, Satoshi wasn't even a good programmer, he was a math guy, he even admitted all that he added to the problem of digital-currency was resolving the double-spending problem.

A world with BITCOIN, is like a world with one less fly, or one less maggot, or a world without the USD reserve currency, nobody will really care, or miss anything of these,

Everytime I see the word 'block-chain' tossed around, I think BOT.

Russia has the BEST math & physics people in the world, I think PUTIN brought mr-ETH in to see if he would play along, you can be sure when Russia is ready to release a bomb-proof 'BITCOIN CLONE', it will be the best, but like all things Russia waits for the USA/NSA to fall on its face.

CHINA too will issue their own 'ultimate bitcoin', but I think the Russian will be much better, USA like all things, will continue to talk about "BITCOIN" and while everybody else moves along with their lives.

The problem with BITCOIN is its backed by LIES, its not safe, its not secure, its not private; It's not Libertarian, not a single one of the urban myths of 'bitcoin' is true, all that is true is that religious dogma, and high-priests, and proles of bitcoin don't care about the truth.
