A spokesperson suggested at the time that church members send money over the phone rather than crypto. Russian President Vladimir Putin has since signed a bill into law prohibiting digital financial assets as payments in the country.<\/p>\n<p><template data-name=\"subscription_form\" data-type=\"markets_outlook\"><\/template><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
