On March 31, Tucker tweeted: I'm not unimpressed by a $6K price of BTC. I was blown away when the thing reached $30.00. But can you imagine the price today if the thing had properly scaled? — Jeffrey A Tucker (@jeffreyatucker) March 30, 2020 The Tweet expands on comments Tucker made earlier this month on RT, during a panel discussion with noted Bitcoin skeptic Peter Schiff. During the debate he said too much time had been wasted on this “ridiculous scaling problem” which had ultimately prevented mainstream adoption: “Adoption hasn’t gone far enough and it hasn’t come into consumer use like it should and would have if it...

After facing multiple delays, the adoption of Russia’s major cryptocurrency law will be postponed again, now due to the coronavirus. Anatoly Aksakov, chairman of the Russian State Duma Committee on Financial Markets, says that the country’s crypto law — the bill “On Digital Financial Assets” — is now finalized but won’t be adopted before the end of the spring 2020. Russian authorities have been arguing about crypto regulation since January 2018 According to a March 31 report by Russian news agency RBC, Aksakov has admitted that previous delays in the bill’s adoption were caused by disagreement on the new asset type between local authorities. Aksakov, who is also chairman of National Banking Council at Russia’s central bank, reportedly elaborated that the central bank opposed legalization of crypto while the State Duma advocated some crypto initiatives. However, the long-awaited law is being postponed for another reason now. As Russia shifts its focus to priority actions against th...

Christine Lagarde, president of the European Central Bank (ECB), takes questions from journalists ... [+] during the central bank's rate decision news conference in Frankfurt, Germany, on Thursday, Dec. 12, 2019. © 2019 Bloomberg Finance LP As discussion is sparked about the inclusion of the “digital dollar” in Congress to help more effectively deliver on rounds of direct stimulus to the American people as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, it can be helpful to look at similar instances of thinking central bank digital currencies and what they might portend for cryptocurrencies.
