Here (http://rt.com/business/bitcoin-russia-use-ban-942/) (today's article), RT (this is in fact a Reuters news)
How is this Reuters news? The (silly) physical bitcoin photo is attributed to "Reuters / Jim Urquhart" (http://straylighteffect.com/category/about-jim-urquhart/), but the article is RT. There is no mentioning of a bitcoin "ban" in Russia on reuters.com. Just this piece of fine journalism that claims bitcoin is "banned" in Indonesia: http://uk.reuters.com/article/2014/02/06/uk-indonesia-bitcoin-idUKBREA150HV20140206
I'd say some people at RT (and everywhere else) made a few bitcoin through other people's panic sales today. :-P
indeed. whether rt or reuters, it seems that they are playing with disinfo all over the place.
Indonesia has not banned bitcoin or cryptos.
they have neutralized their position by saying that they regard them as commodities which does not change anything because of cryptos' polymorphism.
Cryptos cannot be banned because of their polymorphism.
