Fake news. The source of this rumor, the "Russian economist", is not working in government. Basically, he is just a teacher.
Is that just fake news, friend? but if this is true it will be very fantastic news. and I'm sure BTC will grow even more
yes, in my opinion it's just fake news because it won't be possible for a country the size of Russia to replace USD reserves with bitcoin. of course if it really happened the whole world would be surprised by this and surely bitcoin would soar.
You know people are used to juts coming up with lots of news to create FOMO in their own little way and the people coming up with such definitely have a very big investment in bitcoin and would do everything positive to sponsor great articles in favor of bitcoin even if it is untrue in order to create the hype.
So when I see some of these news, I accept it whole heatedly but dont act on it because I know that some of them are not real, most of the news you have seen, how many of the people involved has really come out to official make a statement for or against it, none of them, and as they say, everything becomes a rumor until it is confirmed to be true.
