Putin’s domestic policies are aimed at maintaining a vertical power structure, stable economic growth and conservative policies. The Russian economy during Putin’s rule has become over-regulated and Moscow-centric. Putin is a sceptic of Bitcoin and has plans of establishing strict cryptocurrency regulations. However, under Putin’s presidency, Russia has become a Bitcoin mining center and has a large number of cryptocurrency users. Putin also has a coin named after him – Putincoin, which is not very popular, but has managed to establish a market capitalization of $1.85 mln. Putin is a technology enthusiast and has released some laws directed at building a digital economy for Russia.
