When Michael Chobanian was asked by #Cointelegraph how did you get into #Bitcoin? "My company was consulting a local business group. The group wanted to launch a hybrid crowd lending and pure Internet banking services in Ukraine and Russia. As part of initial R&D we were researching all of the available electronic payments. One of them was Bitcoin. At a time its price just dropped from $30 to around $3. Unfortunately, I did not buy any [at that time]. Since then I was following bitcoin news and made my first investment back in August of 2013." Michael Chobanian is definitely what we call an #OG - President of the Blockchain Association of Ukraine - founder of the Crypto Exchanges Kuna.io and Xreserve - co-founder and member of the board Bitcoin Foundation Ukraine - bought Bitcoin in 2013 👍 👍 👍 - in 2015 the Department Combating Cybercrime of the Interior Ministry raided his apartment seizing all of his devices, as well as SIM cards and promotional materials advertising bitcoin 👎 👎 👎
