One of Putins advisors and co-owner of a company called "Russian Miner Coin"
want´s to go big in crypto currencies.
They will collect money with a ICO and start building the infrastructure for
a massive mining central.
With 20 gigawatts of excess power and a KW price of only 1.3 cents,
Russia has indeed the potential to step into competition with China.
One might think we are at the peak of a crypto currency hype, but with news like this,
it seems like we are just beginning.
This will be interesting, Ether became a cash cow for early investors in part thanks to Putin. I believe it gained an endorsement from him. Of course the tech companies helped out as well! Be on the lookout!
