据此前报道，CoinTelegraph有机会采访一些聚集在圣彼得堡国际经济论坛（ SPIEF ）的高级官员 ，获得他们关于比特币的只言片语，该会议5月22-24日举行。
这一次，我们的记者Egor Shadursky 采访了佩特科·德拉加诺夫，贸发会议（贸易与发展的联合国会议）的副秘书长 ，问他对加密货币的兴起有何看法，及其对全球经济的影响力。
“ [我]对加密货币没有兴趣。 今天的比特币没让我觉得有什么与众不同。我关心的世界经济是中国是否会增长8％ ， 7 ％或6％ ？ …是美国会增长3或2 ％？是石油价格将是110或90美元？ 比特币和我要回答的大问题无关。 “
当被问及什么反映了各位代表对比特币的一般立场，德拉甘诺夫先生坦言， 加密货币的话题在他的兴趣和专业领域之外。不过，当被问及比特币需要什么才能获得各大机构（如联合国），政界人士和全球整体经济的关注，联合国代表承认：
“也许，如果比特币是世界货币交易的10％。由于全球外汇日成交量为2万亿美元，所以你需要关注日交易量在1700亿美元的货币。你需要看到世界经济是75万亿美元。而你告诉我，比特币的价值12000亿……这小得令人难以置信。 “

“我不会在今年，明年或后年去关注它， ”德拉甘诺夫先生淡淡地说，当被问到何时可能会去关注，他承认喜欢有一些“聪明的人，比他更关注比特币“。
其他代表的观点也类似，他们承认听说了加密货币现象，但都没有表现出很大的兴趣或热情。
“[芬兰] 没有禁止，那里有加密货币， ”Thomas Palmgren ，芬兰企业联合会专家，欧洲经济和社会委员会（ EESC ）会员 ，Oy Forcit Ab公司的董事会成员， “我认为比特币会不断成长，只要安全问题解决了，比如钱丢了这样的事情（译者：指黑客盗币，交易所骗钱的事情）“
尽管大多数与会者承认他们对比特币知之甚少 ，但比特币这个词似乎在迅速蔓延。也许在不久的将来，同样的代表不会对加密货币有一个不太不屑一顾的态度。毫无疑问，比特币仍然有很长的路要走，但是否如德拉甘诺夫先生所说，分水岭发生在加密货币达到10 ％的日交易量或2000亿美元总量？如果预测结果是真的，那么我将是第一个在SPIEF在线提示德拉甘诺夫先生关注未来的人 当然是关注比特币的未来。
评论：草根的特点是渺小，忽视，但顽强。高级官员是居庙堂之高，不知江湖之远，但高大上换一个角度来看，其实是官僚。
Bitcoin Needs “200 Billion Dollars a Day of Transactions” to Become Relevant – Petko Draganov
As reported previously, the CoinTelegraph had a chance to get a few words on the topic of Bitcoin from some high-ranking officials who gathered at the Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), which was held from May 22-24.
This time, our correspondent, Egor Shadursky, caught up with Petko Draganov, Deputy Secretary-General of UNCTAD (United Nations Conference of Trade and Development), who was asked what he thought about the emergence of cryptocurrencies and their influence on the global economy.
“[I have] no interest in cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is not making a difference today to what I do. I look at the world economy. Is China going to grow 8 percent, 7 or 6 percent?…Is America gonna grow at 3 or 2 percent? Is the oil price going to be 110 or 90 USD? Bitcoin doesn’t matter to any of the big questions that I’m going to answer.”
In what reflected the general stance of many of the delegates that were asked about Bitcoin, Mr. Draganov admitted that the topic of cryptocurrencies was outside his area of interest and expertise. Nevertheless, when asked what Bitcoin needed to gain the attention of major institutions (e.g. the UN), politicians and the global economy as a whole, the UN representative conceded:
“Maybe if it was 10 percent of world currency transactions. The world forex daily volume is 2 trillion a day so you need to see 200 billion dollars a day of transactions in that currency. You need to see the world economy as 75 trillion dollars. You told me Bitcoins are worth 12 billion… it’s incredibly small.”

“It’s not going to do it this year, next year or the year after,” said Mr. Draganov dismissively when asked when this event could potentially occur but admitted that there are some “intelligent people that I like who are paying more attention to it [Bitcoin]” than he is.
Seemingly, other delegates shared the same views with many admitting that they heard about the cryptocurrency phenomenon but stopping short of showing much interest or enthusiasm towards it.
“It’s not forbidden [in Finland] and there are cryptocurrencies,” said Thomas Palmgren, Specialist at The Federation of Finnish Enterprises, Member at European Economic & Social Committee (EESC), Board Member at Oy Forcit Ab, “I think it will [grow] as long as the security problem is addressed like money vanishing etc.”
Despite most conference participants admitting that they know little about Bitcoin, the word appears to be spreading. Perhaps in the near future, the same delegates will have a less dismissive attitude towards cryptocurrencies. Undoubtedly, Bitcoin still has a long way to go, but could the watershed moment happen when a cryptocurrency reaches a 10 percent daily transaction volume or 200 billion dollars as Mr. Draganov stated? If the prediction turns out to be true, then I will be the first in line to tip Mr. Draganov at SPIEF in the future – in Bitcoin, of course.
