Oh, the tangled webs we weave when first we practice to evade… sanctions! 🤭 A certain Kremlin scribe has spilled the beans: cryptocurrency mining is mucking up ruble forecasts like a toddler with a glitter explosion. “Hidden export”? More like a sneaky little digital gold rush, if you ask me. 🌟
Undervalued Export and Hidden Currency Flows 🤫
Enter Maxim Oreshkin, Russia’s economic wizard-in-chief, who declared at a bank-sponsored tea party: “We’ve got this tiny new export-crypto mining. No, it’s not a typo. It’s a sneaky, invisible, hard-to-catch beast that’s messing with our crystal ball.” 🧙♂️🔮
He added, “Imagine selling digital rocks for real money and not telling your mom. That’s crypto. It’s like finding a treasure chest in your neighbor’s yard but refusing to share the loot.” 🏴☠️
The kicker? These crypto flows slither through banking sewers like slippery eels, dodging Russia’s money-watchers. Oreshkin’s plea: “Count it, or we’ll all be buying groceries with rubles shaped like confetti.” 🍩
Russia’s Bitcoin Dominance 🏆
Once a crypto outlaw, now a global mining heavyweight! Russia’s icy tundras hum with graphics cards mining BTC faster than a cheetah on roller skates. 🐱💻
Since November 1, 2024, when crypto mining went from “shady hobby” to “national sport,” Russia’s miners have been churning out 36,000 BTC annually. That’s $3.15 billion in “untraceable” cash-perfect for buying designer samovars or evading sanctions. 💸
With 16.6% of global mining power, Russia’s Bitcoin dominance is about as subtle as a disco ball at a funeral. 🕺
