Could be misinterpreted. Probably what they mean is totally different. If they don't accept fiat currency in Hryvnia doesn't mean that they won't accept payment in other fiat currency to convert to btc. Euro should be the choice.
I'm pretty sure the euro is not accepted on the Bitcoin blockchain either.
no, bitcoin only
This.
Wow, that went over almost everyone's head.
You can't send fiat over the Bitcoin network people! And you can't send bitcoin over the bank fiat network (try it, I'm sure your bank's manager will be confused when you hold up your private key and ask to send bitcoins to another bank over ACH or SEPA).
The original warning was from the Ukraine Central Bank saying they would not allow Bitcoin to be sent over their banking networks (I just changed bitcoin to fiat and vice versa). And yet this was translated by all articles to "Ukraine bans Bitcoin?". Even Ecuador where everyone has been convinced that Bitcoin is banned, the actual law states that it is illegal to send cryptocurrency over their national fiat payment network (not only is it illegal, it is physically impossible).
A little lesson: Banks banning bitcoins from their banks does not equal Bitcoins are illegal. McDonalds banning Burger King hamburgers from their restaurants does not equal Burger King hamburgers are illegal.
The Central Bank made the "announcement" on Facebook for God's sake...if Facebook posts can make things illegal, we will all be forced to buy kittens and puppies.
