He knows

he knows everything

He does everything to give cryptocurrencies the best fuel with his politics. Banning bitcoin ...?

What's next? Banning living people?
Putin is not against Bitcoin. Banks against Bitcoins. Putin is doing for people peace. Dollar makes wars. You must understand this. Founding fathers of America disappointed.

The problem is not America or Russia as such (and Putin is not, what is known as a "Peacemaker", just like the Colt with that name, too).
The problem is the traditional model: banks create the money and they control it and the politicians use it to control the people. That's everywhere in the world the same, be it Russia, or the US. And that is, why cryptocurrencies scare both of them: because they are losing control, when the people make their own money, like with Bitcoin or Mooncoin.
