There Are More Than 21,000 Bitcoins Owned By Ukraine Officials, Study Says

in #bitcoin7 years ago

In Ukraine, officials are required to declare their wealth and, recently, they started to declare crypto wealth as well. According to an opendata study published recently, there are 57 Ukrainian officials holding cryptocurrencies.

Top 2 positions are occupied by two officials with more than 4,000 Bitcoins each, which, at the moment of writing, worth more than $44 million.

There's also one official who declared more than 7000 Bitcoin Cash tokens.

Total market value of those 21,000 Bitcoins is a whopping $235 million.

Not bad. Not bad at all.

WTF!

they are smart why keep money in fiat when the future is crypto, those politicians are smart

In Mother Russia...wait, to soon?

Once again another great piece of CRYPTO info into the Future of where Cryptos are going. Thank you @dragosroua

Helps when you have that insider information talking to other country government officials. Wonder if they had any knowledge of some of the announcements that Russia made last year.

Ukraine and Bulgaria, the crypto superpowers... haven't seen that coming^^

If crypto gets big a whole new set of countries will become dominant

Apparently it pays well to be in government there. :) I wonder if they have any job openings...

Really makes you wonder how they got those coins, hehe.
