Russian billionaire advocating for Bitcoin

Billionaires too have their little grievances.
For example, Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska’s is annoyed that he and his companies have been sanctioned by the US, which is of course affecting the business and international payments in particular.
Being a smart man, Mr Deripaska seems to have found a solution in Bitcoin, publicly backing it in his social media and slamming the Central Bank for its “superstitions”.

Unfortunately Russian Central Bank perceives crypto as a threat to the rouble and couldn’t care less about the country’s businesses. It’s a shame though, for Bitcoin can give Russia its monetary independence and create much more wealth than the stumbling rouble could ever dream to.

Albeit a billionaire, Mr Deripaska did raise an issue that every Russian can relate to. In a country where the dollar rate is affecting the commerce on an everyday basis, Bitcoin is more than welcome. So let’s hope Mr Deripaska’s word be heard, for the benefit of all Russians.
