Be the change you want to see in the world.

Everybody around me accepts Monero and Bitcoin, because I made it so. If you wait for others to make life dimple for you you're long dead before you can enjoy the fruits of your labour.

It's not that sad. The real sad situation is when even offering people to pay you in bitcoin is illegal and punished by a hefty fine. Unfortunately, Russian central bankers are way smarter than the Western ones, they clearly studied Bitcoin and learned what consequences would be if it's allowed to be freely used as money. I know that in the long run it doesn't matter but currently the situation is like this.
