in bitcoin •  7 years ago 

In Ukraine, officials are required to declare their wealth and, recently, they started to declare crypto wealth as well. According to an opendata study published recently, there are 57 Ukrainian officials holding cryptocurrencies.

Top 2 positions are occupied by two officials with more than 4,000 Bitcoins each, which, at the moment of writing, worth more than $44 million.

There's also one official who declared more than 7000 Bitcoin Cash tokens.

Total market value of those 21,000 Bitcoins is a whopping $235 million.

Not bad. Not bad at all.

WTF!

they are smart why keep money in fiat when the future is crypto, those politicians are smart

Once again another great piece of CRYPTO info into the Future of where Cryptos are going. Thank you @dragosroua

In Mother Russia...wait, to soon?

Helps when you have that insider information talking to other country government officials. Wonder if they had any knowledge of some of the announcements that Russia made last year.

If crypto gets big a whole new set of countries will become dominant

Apparently it pays well to be in government there. :) I wonder if they have any job openings...

Really makes you wonder how they got those coins, hehe.

Good post, thanks for the post, I like. beautifully written, you are the best in writing posts.

oh see, where the world is heading to :)

Well maybe now they can start giving people in the Ukraine higher salaries!

essential information. thanks for share. @dragosroua

WTF and here the government are trying to ban or tax away bitcoin earnings. 4000 bitcoins is an insane amount and to be one person holding that much. Dang. I don't even have fractions of 1 bitcoin.

Even if we try to escape it seems the government always find a way to one up us.

Let me guess: these 2 are our president and prime-minister?

not bad at all for sure hahha

21,000 Bitcoins wow i would just request them to give me a single one only hahah
