🔍 Appearances are deceiving! Is Poland a paradise for crypto?

Probably most of you are thinking to yourself that since in Poland:

  • We have so many Bitcoin ATM.comBitcoin ATM points,
  • Cryptocurrency conferences are held regularly,
  • and many dedicated services write about digital assets,

it is an industry fully regulated by our government.

That's right they don't! 🚫

⚖️ MiCA is, but the Polish law is missing!

Poland is one of two countries in the European Union that, despite the entry into force of regulations under the Market in Crypto Assets (MiCA) Act:

has not passed a relevant law regulating virtual currencies.

In the latest episode of "Heard Under Bitcoin ATM, " I talk about how this fact negatively affects the cryptocurrency industry on the Vistula.

💔 Poland and Bitcoin - a complicated relationship

In our country, about 18.4% of the population already uses digital assets. What's more:

🛡️ Poland's largest insurer, PZU, will launch a bitcoin fund this August!

But paradoxically...

The provision of crypto services is still unregulated.

⚠️ Entrepreneurs without opportunities and the "Wild West"

Polish entrepreneurs are losing out on the lack of regulations - they can't get the required MiCA license, for example.

Even worse is that:

😡 We have a "Wild West." - institutions like the FSC can without much trouble stop the operation of a company, citing suspicion of a crime.

🏛️ The Diet is asleep and companies are afraid

It's not that Poland isn't doing anything....

📜 The bill exists, it lies "on the table", but.... has not passed through the Parliament.

Worse:

Its records inspire horror among many cryptocurrencies - they contain points that make hair stand on end.

🧠 Ministry demonizes cryptocurrencies

Unfortunately, the lack of regulation is also an argument for institutions such as the Ministry of Digitization, which:

😈 They demonize cryptocurrencies and portray them as "untrustworthy."

I talk about all this in detail in the latest episode 😉🎙️
