At the same time, the Bank of Russia eliminates any possibility of the coins can be exchanged for rubles. According to representatives of the companies, this practice can lead to various dubious operations of money laundering. But the Russian ICO in the Bank give the green light, allows the Central Bank to exchange their tokens for currency, only if they do not have a payment function.
In the survey Agency «ROMIR» participated 1.5 thousand of Russians over the age of 18 years.

87 percent to purchase their plan. To invest not away only 11 percent. That the cryptocurrency they have said only 2 percent of respondents. Given the proportions, we can say that the number of holders is within statpogreshnosti.
But those who still got , spoke about the desire to make money on the crypt. While more than half of them reached their financial goals. 24% of the inhabitants bought a cryptocurrency out of a desire to follow the fashion. 16 percent intend to use it to purchase real goods and services.
The Study demonstrated that some important financial instrument cryptocurrencies have not yet become. Moreover, Russian society, earlier times bigasstease on various schemes, demonstrates in this case a healthy skepticism.
