Central Bank of Russia and Ministry of Finance just submitted a bill that will impose a fine of 100 000 RUB (≈$1200) for buying things with "cryptocurrencies". No idea how they're gonna enforce it, probably by monitoring the merchants. But it's something to consider if one wants to just buy things. Imagine living in a country where your biggest concern is tax obligations after a payment and not a fine that's 2-3 months of your salary. Damn.
