Looks like a joke 

An update I received from Unikrn:

Whether you’re a current purchaser of UnikoinGold or thinking about it, we have some game-changing news you need to read.
A lot of our fans have been waiting for their increase on the individual purchasing cap. We wanted UnikoinGold to be as widely distributed with a global array of users, and we have approved all the individual limit increases.
We have passed our first milestone at 85,000 ETH and we have plenty of work to do.. Our token is already disrupting esports and has even begun making waves in some enormous platforms that are speaking to large, non-endemic audiences. Most recently, CNBC asked our CEO, Rahul Sood, to come discuss it in a pre-recorded segment which will air soon.
For everybody who bought UKG, every additional sale means you are helping us add more utility and value. The revenue we make is going back into R&D to create amazing uses for the token so that it becomes the decentralized currency for esports.
We’re making progress on applications in hardware, software, virtual items, betting, fundraising, tournament hosting, teams, game statistics and more. Every ether we earn helps us push out to be more ambitious.
We’re already in casinos. We already have the beta for skill-based competitions. We’re already putting up tournaments. We are now working to integrate UnikoinGold into these parts of our business in various ways. UnikoinGold is a utility token with real utility, and now we’re about to launch a new feature that we hope our community loves as much as we loved creating it.
Coming Soon: Trade in your Skins for UnikoinGold

Many of you know that our CEO has been one of the most vocal critics against illegal skin gambling. It’s dangerous, bad for the industry, makes everyone in esports look bad and — more than anything — it hurts Valve, a company that we all respect and love. Without Valve this industry wouldn’t be where it is today.
However, there are still plenty of people in the community who are sitting on a cache of CSGO skins with nothing to do. So that’s why we designed a little engine that will take your CSGO skins in and spit out UnikoinGold for you to use in various ways on our platform including legal and regulated betting on esports! You may also choose to swap for another token or cryptocurrency on any exchange.
Unikrn has given out over $100,000 in skins through free jackpots on our site. Needless to say, skins are really popular. By allowing our community to exchange their CSGO skins for UnikoinGold, they’re helping us build inventory for more jackpots without burning cash, and we’re helping them trade out of a skin that they may not have use for anymore. How awesome is that?
Over 9,000 years of esports content was watch on Twitch last month alone. Imagine the bump this sector is going to see with the benefits that come with a decentralized exchange and smart contracts. Two years from now, you’ll look back at your moment that helped change the fastest-growing entertainment industry in the world.
It wouldn’t be possible without your support and vision. So thanks for everything. Long live Ethereum and UnikoinGold!
Thank you.
Team Unikrn.

Retaining anonymity on the BTC blockchain is a non-trivial matter, especially if you're a person of interest such as politicians may be.

Either way BTC is more transparent than traditional banks will ever be. With traditional banks you have to trust auditors. With BTC the public can audit themselves. No special treatment for government agencies trying to find specific individuals, everyone's on a level playing field. That alone is in my opinion already a winning argument for BTC over traditional banking.
