THE STATE OF BITCOIN IN POLAND: FRIENDLY OR HOSTILE?

BitMarket, a Polish Bitcoin exchange, was recently closed down by BPH due to their association with Bitcoin. At first the bank was told that it was due to technical problems. Another bank, Bank Zachodni WBK (BZ WBK), also began terminating accounts shortly after the BitMarket incident. While these two banks are shutting down accounts held by Bitcoin businesses, does this signify a national crackdown in Poland? I sought to uncover more information on this matter by interviewing Poland’s largest Bitcoin exchange, who to date, has not had any problems in their banking relationships.
I got a chance to interview Filip Godecki, CCO of Bitcurex.
