Bitcoin Takes on Eastern Europe as Blockchain & Bitcoin Conference Lands in Kiev
Ukraine is one of these countries where people require no explanation about the value of hard money. As war in the east of the post-Soviet country helped put its economy into a recession, the Ukrainian national currency — the hryvnia — lost some 70 percent of its value over the past two years. Perhaps that’s why demand for bitcoin has increased significantly in that country.
And also why the Blockchain & Bitcoin Conference in Kiev on September 23 attracted a large and engaged audience.
