... they expect Bitcoin not to lose value or to gain value...

Talk about unreasonable expectations Roll Eyes

Wake up brah, shit's been all downhill for over a year.

For a year but it's uphill from any other point in time.

Bitcoin has 5 (five) years' worth of history, three of which were spent in obscurity--with price bouncing from single to double digits. Pretending that one year is an insignificant timespan is silly.

The Russian can also mine bitcoin to convert Ruble to into bitcoin. I think the electricity price there is very cheap.

It could be a good deal with a stable or decreasing difficulty lately.

The Russians are not going to convert rubles into $$$ to buy mining gear to mine a depreciating asset. There's a good chance that Russia will criminalize Bitcoin.
Russians are sane, educated people, who won't fall for half-baked intwebs schemes just to save you from being stuck with worthless coin.

Hope this clears things.

So you don't like Bitcoin. You don't understand the advantages of using Bitcoin : how can I move around with millions in my pocket or my mind without third party risk and without using Bitcoin?
