According to an executive at a Russian state bank who deals with cryptocurrencies, senior advisers to the Kremlin have overseen the effort in Venezuela, and President Vladimir Putin signed off on it last year. “People close to Putin, they told him this is how to avoid the sanctions,” says the executive, who spoke to TIME on condition of anonymity. “This is how the whole thing started.”
Sure. Good lord. How did that conversation go?
Putin's gamer nephew: Uncle Vlad, we can evade U.S. sanctions using the blockchain. Putin: ... PGN: Smart contracts via crypto make this super doable. P: ... PGN: Don't let FUD hold you back from doing an ICO. P: ... PGN: Let's get some crypto and HODL! P: ... PGN: ... P: Look, whatever, but why don't we let Venezuela try it first and see how it goes.
It seems to be going terribly, but that's only because it is terrible. "In recent weeks the authorities in Moscow seem to have cooled on the idea of an official cryptoruble." |
