 On anouncing that Russia has been building a strategic BTC stockpile for a whole now. I'm glad he didn't though. Imagine the bad press we would have gotten.

 They'll still use Russia/China/Iran as a reason to force KYC and OFAC and a heap of other new regulations to get Bitcoin under the control of the State though. This is why I cringe when bitcoiners contribute to manufacturing consent for this ("China bad" etc)

 As to all the "China bad" talk, I find Jeffrey Sachs view interesting.  He points out China's borders have been almost enitrely the same for 2200 years, it never attacked Japan (Mongols did 700 years ago, Japan attacked them twice), it never established colonies around the world, it hasn't been in a war for 40 years (1 month against Vietnam), ...  and this is the country people think is beligerant and expansionist?
