In my opinion, this could throw BTC in a black hole, as US and Europe would be forced to ban or regulate it to death. (Quickly)
The Russians going full into Bitcoin adoption or not won't stop the US or Europe regulation on Cryptocurrency and if you have the impression that the government will support crypto without any form of regulatory rules and regulation, guess what you're wrong.
However, if Russian does make the move. Can blame alcohol for making people tipsy or the person that chooses to drink when she knows she's going to drive?
