I don't discuss about geopolitical issues or war here. Let's consider about what is going on and will happen with (against) Russia.

They under the dictatorship of Putin, really invaded Ukraine and ignored all international standards. They are punished by massive sanctions on their bank system and many areas. Because we do know Bitcoin is peer-to-peer, borderless so will Russia do something like North of Korea, trying to use Bitcoin as one of their last resorts?

With Bitcoin, they can avoid traditional sanctions against them. To do this, will they legalize Bitcoin in Russia soon?

Let me say, I hate war!

As a Ukrainian, I really hope they won't make this move, although I do agree it would have been a smart one. Russia invaded my home country, and sanctions are simply necessary because it has to take a hit for what it has done and stop sending its troops and aircraft to Ukraine. That being said, while the sanctions are getting stronger all the time, NeuroticFish is right that there's still a lot of resistance when it comes to banning Russia from SWIFT, thanks to German and Italian leaders, so I don't think it needs a type of payment that can't be censored yet.

Shouldn't we be positive that another country adopts Bitcoin because finally another one comes up?
We seem to be clapping our hands with El Salvador adopting it.

El Salvador is a country, Russia is a terrorist country, brutally invading a sovereign state just because it can. We usually don't clap when terrorists use Bitcoin, do we?
