published an official statement regarding cryptocurrency, in particular, it was about Bitcoin, which was called the "money surrogate." In the spring, the owners of online stores that accept Bitcoin for payment,
began to receive messages from the prosecution authorities asking for “explanations”.
In the autumn of this year, the State Duma
began discussing the possibility of banning the system for use in Russia.
