Russia Bans Bitcoin
http://j.mp/1fPT8O0 (Techcrunch)
"Bitcoin can no longer be used by individuals and legal entities
anymore. If you have a Bitcoin wallet on your computer, you are now
breaking the law. The Central Bank of Russia reiterated that the
official currency is the Ruble, and that it considers Bitcoin a money
substitute. That's why the cryptocurrency is now banned."
