Discusses, in particular, the possibility to use the physical points of the banking presence, the organization of departure of representatives of the platform for the removal of the biometric template, as well as the use of Euroset salons to perform this task.
For three months, the technical director of QIWI namainil about 500,000 bitcoins in 2011. This is 2.4% of the total turnover of this cryptocurrency. At present, the Bitcoin price is about $ 8,000, so the ex-technical director’s “cryptocurrency capital” is about $ 4 billion. If Forbes had published the names of cryptocurrency businessmen in its rating, the former QIWI employee would outrun Sergei Galitsky, the founder of Magnit.
Another news from the world of cryptocurrency: according to some experts , Bitcoin and Altcoins will grow in the near future. So says, in particular, CoinDesk analyst Omkar Godboul. Over the past month, Bitcoin has risen in price against the US dollar by more than 40%, and it is likely that this growth will continue.
Just a few weeks ago, the situation was very different from the current one - “bearish patterns” constantly intervened, investors believed that Bitcoin could fall down to $ 5000. In order to grow further, Bitcoin needs to consolidate around the $ 8560 mark.
Finally, it became known recently that VEB and the BRICS development banks are starting to study the blockchain in terms of opportunities for the digital economy. The purpose of this cooperation is to enhance the development of the introduction of innovative technologies. It may well be that they will soon be used to create and optimize banking and financial products.

In 2011, we had a huge number - more than 100,000 - self-service terminals. Somehow, the security chief came to me and said that the terminals that are in stores, at night, when there are no people, they transmit something and in general work very intensively, there is a big load.
