lol such things make me laugh really:D just how do they think to monitor this stuff?I don't say automatically russian govt is so very stupid as to think its easy to "switch off" bitcoin knowledge, but really even its plan to switch off internet access in "time of crisis" couldnt stop bitcoin. just the volumes from russia on this forum suggest it's already engrained enough not to be forgotten..

It's basically impossible, think about it. How ridiculous it would be to monitor ever single computer for traces of Bitcoin. The amount of money they would lose trying to do this would be way bigger than what they could lose by just allowing Bitcoin flow freely. It's a lossing game and Putin is making a clown out of himself.

The Russin government was actually looking into ways they could potentially turn off the internet in the event of a "crisis" which would be a little bit easier if they control (or sufficiently) control the ISPs in the country, they could simply direct them to stop providing interne access.
