Putin rarely speaks: issued a heavy warning on Bitcoin, energy crisis and financial stability become the focus
Recently, Russian President Putin issued a rare heavy warning on Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency mining activities behind it in a public occasion. This move not only attracted widespread attention from the global financial market, but also once again pushed Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to the forefront of public opinion.
Putin pointed out that the uncontrolled growth of Bitcoin mining in Russia has caused serious energy problems, especially in areas with frequent power shortages such as Irkutsk, Buryatia and Trans-Baikal Territory. He emphasized that these mining activities consume a large amount of electricity resources, accounting for 1.5% of the country's total electricity consumption, or up to 16 billion kilowatt-hours per year. If not restricted, this unrestrained mining expansion may cause the regional power system to reach its limit, seriously affecting the normal operation of enterprises, residences and public service systems.
Putin's warning not only reflects the Russian government's deep concern about the energy crisis that may be brought about by cryptocurrency mining activities, but also reveals its emphasis on financial stability and national security. He called for strengthening the supervision of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin to prevent them from becoming tools for money laundering, tax evasion and even financing terrorist activities.

In addition, Putin also took the opportunity to promote Russia's digital ruble plan, namely the central bank digital currency (CBDC). He emphasized that the digital ruble has achieved remarkable results in the testing phase, completing a large number of goods and services payments and transfer transactions, demonstrating its strong performance and practicality. He believes that the digital ruble is expected to become an important part of Russia's economic modernization plan and reduce its dependence on Western financial institutions. #以太坊ETF批准预期 #美国大选如何影响加密产业? #山寨季何时到来? #币安7周年 #美联储何时降息? $STRAX $1000SATS $WIF
