The situation of Turkey in the Cryptocurrency sector
Bitcoin and crypto money in our country The interest in the sector is far ahead of many countries in the world.. The services provided by Bitcoin and altcoin exchanges are at such high quality levels that they can not be searched for examples.. The number of businesses that accept Bitcoin and a few altcoins as a means of payment is increasing day by day.
If serious studies are carried out on Blockchain technologies in our country, if encouraging legal steps are taken regarding Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. It will be a matter of time before we reach a point where we, as a country, steers the sector and can surpass many other countries in terms of volume. ready to make new breakthroughs. While there was no Bitcoin trading platform in our country until months ago, today we have Cryptocurrency exchanges that have proven themselves and provide trust to their users at world standards. We also do not have an altcoin payment infrastructure.. While our national crypto currency exchanges continue to develop, a payment infrastructure system that will be operational in our country will take our country one step further in the crypto money industry.
