Bitcoin recently broke its historic record and approached the $ 4,500 mark. However, employees of the National Bank speak about the danger of saving in this crypto currency.

In Ukraine, the legal status of crypto currency is not defined. In different countries Bitcoin is given a different definition (virtual currency, money surrogate, virtual goods, and t. ), However in Ukraine at the official level none of these definitions support.



Also, the biton is rarely used for daily non-cash payments due to the complexity and duration of the transaction.

Ruslan Kravets, Deputy Director of the Strategy and Reform Department of the National Bank of Ukraine, said: "If we are talking about saving funds in bitcoins, I can say that this is unsafe".

Recall, as reported URA-Inform, Bitcoin breaks records. The Bitcoin Crypto currency has reached a value of 3256 dollars, which is the absolute historical record of the Bitcoin currency.
