Ask yourself: why would I want dollars if I run the risk of having them confiscated? And yes, Russia declared that whoever wants their oil if yesssssss they don't want to pay for it in rubles then do it in gold or BTC.

Oh I see, thank you.
Reading the article, it's not super clear, but I think only "friendly" countries could buy with gold or BTC... all the "unfriendly" countries still have to pay in Ruples.
I usually read between the lines, Europe is desperate to reduce the cost of its energy and Russia needs to sell its gas and oil, from a rhetorical point of view both are enemies (or hostile) but when it is necessary to feed the population (and get votes) suddenly the enmity is not so clear and alternatives sprout like mushrooms in a rainforest. The BTC is the key to this issue
