CryptoRuble (Russia and Crypto)

Have been reading about this for quite a while.. I find it interesting..

The problem of course would be how supply is controlled, how everything will be controlled and most importantly... Can we trust it?
But if those issues would be addressed properly... I think it might be very interesting to either own, trade or both... I am glad that some countries are taking things seriously and are considering to provide at least their alternative and it is up to the people (I hope, that would be the case) to freely choose if they would prefer more established aka "traditional" cryptocurrencies like BTC... or if the government would convince people enough to at least consider their alternative, gov backed cryptocurrency...

I find this articles rather interesting... Specially the one that is mentioning GOLD-BACK CRYPTOCURRENCY... issued by government (RU) in this case...
This is like MIND=BLOWN to me... Having gold-backed crypto in a legal/official/gov_backed way... BUt of course, would like to see the "fine print". Atm am interested in the idea itself... Finally some good talks/directions... at least in my opinion... Hope something/anything good will come out of this... Time for alternatives among which we will (hopefully) able to decide by ourselves what seems to be best for us... Would love if countries/government would "compete" (for people) in a creative way... in order to ATTRACT people (to their solutions) instead of banning the alternative solutions...

What are your thoughts about this?

I mean if not for anything else.. it would be good to stimulate the USA (Trump) to issue their version in like 2 weeks Trump wouldn't tolerate to be behind this, specially if he would read in the news "Crypto from XX country... attracted billions..."... They would have overnight (emergency) meeting like in margin call 2011 movie to have their version ready asap...
I am just afraid that those (government) versions would loose the core of what cryptos are all about (now). But would love to see what they would come up with

Bank of Russia may consider gold-backed cryptocurrency

Reminds me of Venezuela’s state-owned cryptocurrency the Petro backed by oil reserves. https://petro.gob.ve/eng/home.html

My thoughts? Both destined to fail.

Yeah, might very well be But I welcome any alternatives that might be trying to convince us with some serious solutions I mean we might even benefit from their trials Because there are BUY and SELL (SHORT) options

Ok so slight update on the topic... Seems Russia is becoming very serious on the subject...
See some interesting (recent) articles below:

Hope they would start competing to which country would come up with better solution, let the competition begin, same level as for space program in the 60s...
We could nothing than benefit from this, I think. What are your thoughts?
