In the last 24 hours, the news that has gone around the world is that Russia, if necessary, will accept cryptocurrencies as a mechanism of payment for the sale of gas and oil, this fact marks a very interesting part for the future of the cryptocurrency market.
In the media, financial analysts who closely follow the economic impacts of the war between Russia and Ukraine have been suggesting that Bitcoin could be consolidated as a tool against the blockade of funds that Western states have launched against Russia in international markets.
The above approach seems to coincide with what was recently stated by Pavel Zavalny, current head of the Russian government's Energy Committee, who acknowledged that there is a possibility of accepting cryptocurrencies for the sale of energy resources, specifically gas and oil.
According to Zavalny, Bitcoin could become a possible exchange currency, as a strategic method for Russia to coexist in the current context of sanctions imposed by the United States and Europe.
Beyond the war conflict, in the event that Russia agrees to receive BTC as a means of payment for its energy resources, it would be setting a new precedent within the cryptocurrency market and strengthening the financial structures that run on the blockchain as a means of exchange in international markets.
I would like to know what you think about it regardless of your position on the war between Russia and Ukraine.
