Igor Shuvalov in the Cabinet of Ministers: “We have a bill that was developed by the Ministry of Finance (we are talking about the draft of Federal Law “About digital financial assets”.) There is an ICO, blockchain. There is a separate bill, which is developed by the Central Bank. We now want to significantly reduce these bills and simplify them. To just type in a little bit to indicate that it’s all legal. No one knows how deep this must be settled now. And it is not necessary to strive to do it.”
It seems to me that the Russian government admitted that they do not possess blockchain expertise and do not understand even the development vector. Lord, why is that so? The working groups in the State Duma were in vain?
PS
On the Russian agenda of the blockchain the most important issue is the dilemma:
1.) To accept the cryptocurrency of material value and money can not be, otherwise the mining ban as the emission under Russian law, can only be carried out by the Central Bank.
