Russian Minister States Cryptocurrencies Will Not Be Legally Recognized in Russia
The Russian Minister of Communications and Mass Media, Nikolai Nikiforov, has expressed his belief that bitcoin will not be legally recognized as a means of payment in the Russian Federation. Despite the statements, Russia still appears poised to make a bid for global dominance in the cryptocurrency mining industry. On November 20, Mr. Nikiforov told reporters “bitcoin is a foreign project for using blockchain technology, the Russian law will never consider bitcoin as a legal entity in the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation. However, I think that it is quite possible to use blockchain technology and the use of various digital tokens." The announcement comes one month after Russia’s Communication Ministry submitted a “draft decree regulating the legal adoption of cryptocurrency.” Despite the draft decree, it was indicated that the Bank of Russia and the Finance Ministry would ultimately determine the country’s regulatory apparatus. Earlier this week, Russia’s deputy finance minister, Alexei Moiseev, announced his expectation that Russia’s new cryptocurrency bill “should be formulated by February 1 in the framework of the president’s mandate.” Russia’s regulatory position regarding cryptocurrencies has changed significantly in recent years, with the country frequently oscillating between prohibitive and permissive leanings. In recent months, the Russian state has increasingly spoken in favor of bitcoin mining, expressing its desire to overtake China’s dominance in the global mining industry. Regarding trading, the deputy finance minister has recently reaffirmed that “people can be allowed to buy and sell on licensed sites if they are qualified investors.” Although it appears that cryptocurrency is unlikely to be legally recognized throughout Russia, it seems that Russia will adopt a permissive regulatory framework for bitcoin and cryptocurrency mining. At the start of the month, Bank of Russia’s first deputy chairman, Olga Skorobogatova, stated: “cryptocurrency mining is a kind of activity of legal entities and private entrepreneurs [which] should be taxed." Contradicting reports from last month, Tass also recently revealed that “the Ministry of Finance does not intend to introduce licensing for the mining of cryptocurrency but the mining will be taxed.” It has also recently been revealed that numerous Chinese and European companies have applied to The Russian Association of Blockchain and Cryptocurrency seeking to establish mining operations in The Russian Federation.

Hello & Cheers!! I'm a content detection and information bot. You are receiving this reply because a short link or links have been detected in your post/comment. The purpose of this message is to inform your readers and yourself about the use of and dangers of short links.
To the readers of the post: Short links are provided by url shortening services. The short links they provide can be useful in some cases. Generally their use is benign. But as with all useful tools there are dangers. Short links can be used to hide all sorts of things. Quite frequently they are used to hide referral links for instance. While not dangerous this can be deceptive. They can also be used to hide dangerous links such as links to phishing sites, sites loaded with malware, scam sites, etc. You should always be extremely cautious before clicking on one. If you don't know and trust the poster don't click. Even if you do you should still be cautious and wary of any site you are sent to. It's always better to visit the site directly and not through a short link.
To the author of the post: While short links may be useful on some sites they are not needed on steemit. You can use markdown to format your links such as this link to steemit. It's as simple as
[steemit](https://steemit.com)Unlike short links this allows the reader to see where they are going by simply hovering over the link before they click on it.
