Bitcoins, which the Bulgarian police seized during the corruption operation in May, gained 600 percent in the last six months. With this money, Bulgaria will pay a quarter of the national debt.
The moment is the main agenda of the whole world, undoubtedly the virtual currency Bitcoin. People are talking about Bitcoin on the streets, on television, on social media.
Bitcoin, the popular crypto currency that makes the investor’s face laugh, has made Bulgaria richer than ever before. $ 500 million Bitcoin, which the Bulgarian police has handled in an corruption operation organized in May, reached $ 3 billion over the past six months.
An investigation was initiated by the European Law Enforcement Center on the pretext of customs fraud. While importing food to the country, the criminal gang entered the computers of Bulgaria’s customs in order to avoid paying the necessary customs fees and uploaded viruses.
Fraudsters are also found to have links outside of Bulgaria in Macedonia, Greece, Romania and Serbia. The total value of 213.519 Bitcoins seized in the operation in May was about 500 million dollars.
As of today, Bitcoin, traded at 17 thousand dollars, seems to have contributed the most to Bulgaria. Bitcoins captured by Bulgarian police have reached a total of $ 3 billion. Authorities say that with the money in question, a fourth of Bulgaria’s debt is payable.
The Bulgarian police have reported that they have crushed the organized crime syndicate, which has links in 12 countries. Said that the gang used Bitcoin because it was so hard to follow.
Another story is about a young entrepreneur. His name is Erik Finman. Finman, who has just met Bitcoin at the age of 12, was a boy who hated school in those years and was in contradiction with his family. Finman, who made a deal with his mother and father who graduated from Stanford University, would not force him to go to college if he earns $ 1 million by himself until the age of 18. That’s exactly what happened that year.
Finman made his first investment in Bitcoin at the age of 12, with $ 1000 he received from his family. Received 100 Bitcoins, which was worth $ 12 in 2011. By 2013, Finman’s investment was valued 100 times. Finman, who had owned more than 100 thousand dollars by selling Bitcoins that he owned the same year, evaluated this money by establishing a company named Botangle. This initiative addressed those who did not like school and who were not satisfied with education like Finman.
Finman, who has succeeded in the initiative of Botangle, has sought capital to grow its enterprise. Finman, who was on the way to the Silicon Valley, had the opportunity to meet important names. But he was 15 years old, so he was not taken seriously. However, the determined young man finally found an investor who would buy Botangle for $ 100,000 or 300 Bitcoins.At that time 300 Bitcoin was worth $ 60,000, but Finman again preferred Bitcoin. Today, it is clear that Finman has made a right choice. The young man who succeeded in adding 103 more to the 300 Bitcoins that he bought that day would now have over $ 1 million. Finman is currently consulting on NASA’s rocket project, the ELaNa program.
