We can pay for goods with digital assets. It is also possible to use Bitcoin mined in Russia under this regime,\u201d said Siluanov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Russia\u2019s adoption of Bitcoin reflects a growing trend among sanctioned countries seeking cryptocurrencies as a solution for international transactions.
