Yes, this is good news for the progress of Cryptocurrency, because big countries like Russia will buy as much Bitcoin as possible, I hear this from some news and articles that I read, I hope this increase in Bitcoin prices will continue to have a positive impact on Cryptocurrency and its use.
This can probably be the reason for the next price increase of bitcoin but only if the rumors were turn out to be true . Like what others are saying , its not easy to replace a local currency like usd to be fully replaced by a cryptocurrency such as bitcoin because i think not all can be able to use bitcoin normally ,what about other people that dont have an adequate knowledge ? I think bitcoin will still remain as an alternative currency next to fiats
