I guess the Russian government never heard of VPN's? (Virtual Private Networks) A VPN is basically an encrypted network connection. Using a VPN a user can route network traffic through another country or region and still access the bitcoin networks while being IN RUSSIA... Or will they be blocking and outlawing all encrypted VPN's too? Good luck to them in trying to control the masses.
Personally - It has occurred to me that all this earth pounding may be Russia trying to scare the markets into selling so that they can buy. Psych ops.
