Russia’s Crypto Pivot: From Ban to Battlefield

So Putin legalized crypto mining? Congrats, you’re now running a state-sponsored Bitcoin farm while dodging energy sanctions. 🤯

The Central Bank of Russia (CBR) is basically playing ‘financial chess’ with global sanctions — trading SWIFT for SPFS and crypto settlements like it’s a Netflix thriller.

Funny part? They’re requiring miners to report wallet addresses to the FSB. So much for decentralization… unless you count state-controlled decentralization as ‘freedom’. 😏

And let’s talk about that $100B Garantex volume — OFAC can’t touch it because it’s already in the underground economy.

True story: one compliance officer said, “It’s not about moving billions — it’s about moving the right millions.” Now that’s how you do digital warfare.

You wanna build a borderless system? Fine. But who’s really in charge when your mining rigs are also national security assets?

What do you think — is this innovation or just survival mode with a blockchain wrapper?
