Buying Cryotocurrency in Italy
Italy needs a bank bailout. And their politicians claim that dropping the Euro and devaluing their currency is the best route forward for the country. People holding Euros in Italy, see buying bitcoin as a safe haven against the current political turmoil.
After seeing the 35% drop in the Pound after the Brexit vote, it is easy to see why Italians are storing their wealth in Bitcoin and gold, while the politicians and banks fight it out behind the scenes.
