>Ethereum, the world’s largest cryptocurrency after bitcoin, has caught the attention of Vladimir Putin as a potential tool to help Russia diversify its economy beyond oil and gas.
>Putin met Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg Economic Forum last week and supported his plans to build contacts with local partners to implement blockchain technology in Russia, according to a statement on Kremlin’s website.
wow legit source, just invested 50 bitcoin in eth
to the moon!
What a time to be alive.
>tfw putin probably gonna do 51% attack on american imperialist bitcoin to make motherland-loving ETH king permanently
putin is only interested in this because it is an opportunity for him to launder billions of dollars. Putin will be the greatest whale in all of this coin's history. buy in and buy out.
It's an aggregated article from Bloomberg.
What a wonderful time to be alive lads
>plutocrat endorses crypto
>positive
Redpill me on this?
I bet russia has been knee deep in crypto anyways, it's no secret how corrupt their government is, it's practically their culture there. Zrcoin only exists because of their law that any investor there gets 80% of your company outright.
ethereum bagholders really are the kings of spinning bad news. incredible.
They drive up the price and encourage mass adoption, further driving up price and increasing ease of use and utility of cryptos. You didn't think all that money that came into the system was from NEETs, did you?
Plutocrats aren't bad, they're just on top. We're always going to hate whoever is on top, don't hold it against them for being at the other end of the ponzi.
Damn it feels good to be eth rich!!!!! To the moon baby.
>biggest whale we've ever seen announces his move in advance
>this is somehow a bad thing
>top 5 superpower wants to use your crypto as its financial backbone
>bad news
what planet do you live on again?
>launder billions
Putin doesn't need to launder his money. HE'S VLADIMIR FUCKING PUTIN
Ain't nobody gonna step to that nigga about his capital gains taxes
>ain't nobody gonna step to that nigga
Anyone that does gets radioactive tea and dies a slow painful death. Like anyone gonna fuck with Putin.
Who cares what onecoin / ethereum scam Putin invests in hahaha
When idiots like Putin do something, go the other way
bunch of fucking btc fags crying about eth. Cunts
...
Not a good long-term signal for Ethereum health in the West. Just wait until Russia goes after another piece of Ukraine or hacks the next election using ETH funding.
The Democrats will be back in power at some point, especially with Trump melting down every day. Perfect excuse for them to ban crypto as another Russian-terrorist scheme.
...
So man-let-ly
Okay, stop making a fuss over nothing. It was JUST a showy conference where they only had a small talk. Nobody promised anyone anything, nobody made a deal. Moreover, it was obviously Putin's move to demonstrate to the world how he's interested in modern technologies, nothing more.
And there won't be any news other than this one.
Who's making a fuss? You a nocoiner or something? You sound bitter af.
