Bitcoin exchange abandons Poland even as the government invites it to a working group

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
In a delightful bit of irony BitBay, a Central European exchange, has shut down operations in Poland even as it received an invitation by
the Polish government to participate in a national blockchain working group
The news, which appeared in a Tweet, states that the group will assess regulations for cryptocurrencies, blockchain, and ICOs.“Our
exchange has received an invitation from the PFSA to participate in the Blockchain Working Group
As we have recently said, we do not want to abandon crypto activity in the Polish community,” wrote BitBay.Poland has had an odd
relationship with Bitcoin
First, some of the central banks funded a YouTube propaganda video that showed a person losing plenty of cash in crypto
Further, the community is fighting back but releasing counter-propaganda to the central bank’s policies.After being shut out by Polish
banks, BitBay moved its headquarters to Malta and stopped serving Polish customers. Photo by freestocks.org on Unsplash
