.. my 2 Satoshi worth.
If there is an element of truth that a country like Russia starts buying BTC - increasingly - then other countries will have to follow for FOMO, to avoid competitive trade disadvantage and to stop Russia from having too much influence on BTC holdings, and price. That would be an imperative. Just because there doesn't appear to be much price activity atm doesn't mean it couldn't all go up much much quicker than in 2017, IMO, as countries put large potential buy strategies in place using intermediary cyptos, just in case, like Russia.
I think this will certainly happen when other countries start dumping their US$ holdings and there is a race to the bottom with other currencies having to devalue as the world economy declines. In this case, BTC price to the moon when simply priced against devalued fiat currency.
I'm not buying more because of this article, just HODLing what I have and hoping that the biggest whales (countries) will one day soon compete to snap them up...
