With Bitcoin, they can avoid traditional sanctions against them. To do this, will they legalize Bitcoin in Russia soon?
I would not hold my breath for this.
Russia's traditional customers - Germany and Italy - have blocked the decision of getting Russia out of SWIFT. So they'll keep pumping fiat there in exchange for gas.
Russia's new laws may be on halt for now while the focus is on the war.
So again, I would not be so sure this will happen too soon. And really, I'm not sure I am looking for Bitcoin get the blessing of the terrorist of the year.
I completely agree with you. As much as it would have seemed like a much anticipated news, its of the least importance at the moment with the looming war in the atmosphere. Threats that have come off these nations of recent and the attacks that have been demonstrated already gives no room for any other business aside from finding amends and in the same time, being defensive of your country.
You can imagine Ukraine, planning to issue weapons to untrained civilians that decides to fight for there country in a bid to match Russian forces. I am sorry but, bitcoin remains out of the picture until it all quites down.
