Post by: tyz on October 04, 2015, 01:29:55 PM
On October 2 the National Bank of Ukraine warned regional banks and executives of the certain risks using virtual currency. This comes after previous warnings in 2014 with the financial institution giving similar warnings.

Let's hope banks don't start closing any accounts like they have doing in Australia.

The article says that the warnings might have been triggered by the DDOS attacks on Russian banks, and the extortion attempts with payment in Bitcoins. That really shouldn't be a reason for the National Bank of Ukraine to start thinking negatively about Bitcoin. As long as it provides only 'warnings', bitcoin companies should be okay.

we're used to this kind of warnings. it's not the first and definitely not the last. bitcoin is a great tool to get cash out of the country, that is something they don't like.

not only banks there is lot of bad news about bitcoin in the last months that comes from banks and others, just to try to show to everybody the bad side of bitcoin, what made me laugh is that while there are doing it, they are embracing it on the shadow ;)

so dont worry i start to think that all those news is just to mislead people while they find the way to take an advantage from it.
