Im not sure whether to be excited or concerned by this! On one hand it elevates bitcoin transactions to the nation-state level and is a step toward bitcoin becoming a sovereign reserve asset. On the other hand, there are seriously controlling measures being taken where to legally participate you must register with the national bank of Russia. — This is a comment on: https://yakihonne.com/flash-news/nevent1qqspeapfuxumeqxazw0xplx5f652xaexs3kqp2ufkugeqmjpj4tylvgzyr5rke4ga5kn0srar2l2dcdsqzs42jwxj5y05nzcw42k654s2fkzkqcyqqqqqqgcaq9ka
