Скачать или смотреть Russia Just Made Crypto Mining a Felony? 5 Years Prison!

Imagine mining Bitcoin in your basement and waking up to a five-year prison sentence1. That is the terrifying new reality Russia is proposing as of December 30, 20252. The Ministry of Justice is done playing games and wants to slam unregistered miners with forced labor for up to two years3. If you think that sounds harsh, wait until you hear about the fines hitting 1.5 million rubles for basic violations4,5. They are even banning mining completely in ten regions like Dagestan and Chechnya until the year 2031 to save power6,7. Authorities are now using advanced AI technology to hunt down illegal rigs hiding in residential homes8. Power companies are already suing home miners and raising electricity rates to commercial levels to stop the drain9,10. But here is the massive twist that makes no sense11. While they threaten to lock you up, the Moscow Exchange is preparing to launch legal crypto trading by 202611. Big banks like Sberbank are issuing crypto-backed loans while the little guys get crushed by the state12. Retail investors will be capped at buying just 300,000 rubles worth of crypto a year13. The government is essentially monopolizing the industry and pushing everyone else out to places like Texas and Dubai14. It looks like a total crackdown, but one specific exemption for qualified investors changes the entire game15.
