Slowly government's that are against the use of bitcoin will start using it. As a beginning we've seen statement from the Russian government. Previously there were more governments that imposed ban on bitcoin with punishment and penalties to be paid to the government. Even by that time people from those countries keep on using it. The technology growth always has got a set of people supportive to it as well as people standing against its usage. Later after hard analysis they realise the good in it. Same has been taking place with bitcoin right now.

Agree. It's only a matter of time before all the world's governments start adopting Bitcoin for their own benefit. Some say that countries penalized by US sanctions are using Bitcoin as a safe-haven asset. It's not to my surprise, since Bitcoin's decentralized and open source nature brings many benefits with it. With a lack of middleman, you and only you have complete control of your money. The limited supply and maximum security unlike any other Blockchain in existence, makes Bitcoin very similar to Gold. Eventually, all countries of the world will accept Bitcoin as legal tender. Russia's central bank has recognized Bitcoin's resiliency, so it should only be a matter of time before the Russian government establishes a friendly regulatory environment for the fruitful growth of Bitcoin and crypto in the region.

Many governments are planning to launch their own CBDCs, as they've noticed Bitcoin's success in the mainstream world. My guess is that Russia's digital version of the Ruble (in a form of a CBDC) will live alongside Bitcoin for years to come. Russian citizens will have the choice between Bitcoin or the digital Ruble for mainstream transactions. There will be a clash between the centralized and decentralized world as we speak. As long as Bitcoin maintains decentralization above anything else, there should be nothing to worry about. Just my thoughts Grin
