Russia's Finance Ministry proposes to consider bitcoin a financial asset, but handle it as "other assets", Russian Deputy Finance Minister Alexei Moiseev said, emphasizing that only qualified investors should be enable trading with bitcoin.
According to him, these virtual currencies more often used for the purpose of money laundering, for which it is necessary to arrange the exchange of trade to the regulator, always to be aware of who is the seller, the buyer and the direction they are moving bitcoini accounts.

"The ministry is not going to allow" ordinary mortals "to buy and sell the bitcoin. It is a dangerous investment, which can lead to financial losses", Alexei Moiseev said. He emphasized that the Central Bank of Russia determines qualified investors.

Ministry determines the settlement of that policy as a financial pyramid, and considers that such investments are at high risk.
