An unexpected supporter of cryptocurrency legalization in Russia

10 October 2017 21:00, UTC

A video message to the authorities and parliament faction leaders on cryptocurrency has been posted on Youtube by… a porn star. In the video, she tells that cryptocurrency would provide great opportunities for the Russian economy and make Russia one of the world leaders, so it should be supported and legalized. She addresses this video to all leaders of parliamentary fractions, including even the Soviet-style Communist Party leader, Gennady Zyuganov.

It’s extremely unlikely she decided to record it herself, as the cryptocurrency community has seen many music and movie stars promoting either cryptocurrency or ICO projects. Someone in the government or a powerful Russian businessman that would benefit from cryptocurrency legalization might have seen those public relation stunts and decided to make something similar, as there are indications that the final decision about cryptocurrency legislation in Russia is about to be enacted.
