BITCOIN EMBASSY & BITCOIN CONFERENCE KIEV SHOW GREAT POTENTIAL FOR UKRAINE AS BITCOIN HOTSPOT

Ukraine is becoming more and more open to the idea of digital currencies. As a result, the country’s first Bitcoin embassy has recently opened its doors in Kiev. The space, which was founded by Bitcoin businessman Michael Chobanyanu, is intended as a place where the Bitcoin community and Bitcoin Foundation Ukraine can hold meetings.
Furthermore, a special souvenir shop will sell different kinds of cryptocurrency-related souvenirs within the same building. Finally, there will be an ATM where anyone can buy Bitcoins. Mr. Chobanyanu is hoping that the Bitcoin embassy will not just be the acting grounds of meetings, but a tool to help educate people about digital currencies and to increase Bitcoin adoption in Ukraine as well.
A week before the embassy’s official opening, Mr. Chobanyanu had closed conversations with Qiwi. As a result, Bitcoin can be bought in any Qiwi terminal now. Mr. Chobanyanu is the founder of the first Bitcoin agency in Ukraine and is also an executive member of Ukraine’s Bitcoin Foundation. One of his future plans is to open a Bitcoin caf next spring. Furthermore, he wants to organize debates, educational sessions and other events, and record Bitcoin-related video podcasts. He believes this should attract some new Bitcoin enthusiasts.
