There was a saying once that "if you cant beat them join them" this is now happening in the country of Russia where their government join its people because people seem cant get enough of using a bitcoin even though bitcoin is banned already in their country.
Sometimes it takes only courage to get what you desire unlike to other countries where they got scared easily in anything that their government is saying but I guess they are only care about their selves or to their love ones because they can also get in trouble if they wont follow the protocol. Their government might want to do regulations too so that they can also identify the bad actors in the market.
