• The vice speaker of the State Duma Petr Tolstoy proposed to ban Russian companies to buy advertising in Google. “Let's just block all this advertisement with a legislative decision,” he said today in the Duma.
• Tolstoy’s statement is a response to the words of the CEO of the mother company Google, Alphabet, Erica Schmidt. Last night, he promised to lower the Russian state state television channel and Sputnik agency in the search results of Google.
• In early November, the Federation Council already recommended Russian companies to refuse Twitter advertising. But the volume of accommodation in Google is incomparably larger-23 billion rubles (revenue of the main Russian legal entity Google, Google LLC, in 2016) against 120-150 million rubles.

What am I to me?

It is not yet clear whether the proposal of the Tolstoy element of rhetoric will remain or will result in real legislative measures. The recommendation on the ban on advertising on Twitter did not receive any official continuation. But in response to the recognition of RT and Sputnik by foreign agents in the United States, the Duma within a record time adopted the law on recognition of foreign media in agents (tomorrow it should be approved by the Federation Council).

Why billionaires Bitcoin

Cryptocurrencies are the main trend of 2017, and in some way deserved: there is little one can earn 700% of net profit less than a year. The Bell suggested that the Russian billionaires, who still made such profit in the 90s, could not stay away-and was not mistaken. In projects related to cryptocurrency, they invest at least 10% of the Russian Forbes list. Who are these risky people?

• Among the Russian investors in crypto projects are Evraz shareholders Roman Abramovich, Alexander Abramov and Alexander Frolov; The owner of the Federation Tower Roman Trotsenko, the former chief developer of the Moscow Region Alexander Ruchev.
• According to unconfirmed reports, Alisher Usmanov is also interested in the cryptocurrency market (he himself, however, refutes this) and Mikhail Gutseriev.
• The main problems that investors complain about are the lack of regulation, an incomprehensible situation with taxes and the difficulty of converting digital money into real ones.

What am I to me?

Does it mean an example of businessmen that investments in Bitcoin are not so risky? No. Almost none of the richest is invested in cryptocurrencies as an independent tool, but in blockchain -based projects. If someone, as the former owner of Morton, buys bitcoins, then mainly in order to understand how they work.

How to predict a market fall

Investors every day notice all new signs of overheating on the American market. While the growth continues, and the sales time has not yet begun, but Bloomberg already calls three reasons that can pull the market down:

• The growth of inflation, which makes the central bank tighten the monetary policy faster than planned
• The period of invitation to the Fed, the new managing of which Jerome Powell will begin work only in February and change the entire team Junet Yellen
• The growth of the profit of American companies is below optimistic forecasts

It is a few to predict the moment when the growth is replaced by a fall. One of the largest American banks, Wells Fargo counts on its Aier exchange robot with the latest artificial intelligence, in the creation of which was participated in the former designer of the ALEXA voice assistant from Amazon. So far, however, the robot is mistaken - in the beginning of October, in the midst of the scandal around the “troll factory”, he gave a recommendation to sell Facebook shares, but since then the social network has grown by 5%.

Where to go instead of court

Tomorrow, Igor Sechin, for the third time, will ignore the agenda in the court in the case of Alexei Ulyukaev-this time the press secretary of Rosneft Mikhail Leontyev reported about the failure to appear of his head. However, the agenda, as we recall, may not be awarded - after calling Sechin Rosneft, according to RBC, simply closed the window for incoming correspondence. Vedomosti collected a photo gallery that for Igor Sechin is more important than the implementation of the law.

Vote for Trumpchi

The word "Trump" in the name of the brand is a plus or minus? This is to be clarified by the Chinese car manufacturer Guangzhou Automobile, which displays the Trumpchi brand to the American market. The surname of the American president in the name of the brand launched back in 2010 is an accidental coincidence, they say in Guangzhou Automobile. Everything is like this: the hieroglyphs that make up the name mean “spreading good wishes”, you can’t say so exactly about Donald Trump.
