That's a misleading comment. Sure, if you bought BTC on January 1st, 2014, maybe, since this would have been timed perfectly to align with the peak of the Bitcoin bubble.

But if you bought BTC only 60 days earlier (November 1st, 2013), it was at $200, so you would have a +65% return rate as of today, easily beating the ruble, or virtually any of the world's currencies for that matter: http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/bitstampUSD#rg60zigDailyzczs...
