Bulgaria is holding 18% of the national debt in bitcoins...

This is the times we live in.

If Bulgaria hold on to their Bitcoins, in 4 years time might be able to pay off their countries' debt.

Bulgaria’s GDP is about $52.4 billion (2016), so it is quite a shock that the Bulgarian Government is sitting on an approximate $3 billion worth of Bitcoins seized in an anti-corruption operation back in May.

Instant millionaires

Just yesterday Andreas Antonopoulos became an instant millionaire after receiving sponteneous donations from the community. Anonopolous has been championing Bitcoin for years, lecturing senates, bank officials and the public.

This is the times we live in. Satoshi Nakamoto - the as yet unknown person or group that founded bitcoin - might become the first world trillionaire. Before Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg.

This actually brilliant planning on a national scale.

That or a lucky catch
