Emerging out of Russia’s heartland, SibCoin has garnered tremendous support in the national crypto-community. It has become the coin of choice for thousands of seasoned numismatists and crypto-neophytes alike.

[...] due to insular political views and general mistrust towards big ideas coming from the West, most Russians until now were not ready to trust bitcoin easily. They needed something familiar and relatable to introduce them to the world of blockchain. And thus, Siberian Chervonets (SibCoin) was born. The cryptocurrency’s adoption has been growing since then.
