Prof. Dr. Özgür Demirtaş, who made statements about Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrencies, talked about crypto again. Economics professor Özgür Demirtaş, in his post from his X account, suggested a cryptocurrency for Türkiye. Demirtaş, while drawing attention to the fact that the increasing value of the Turkish Lira and the weakening of the Russian economy have a negative impact on the tourism sector, suggested that Turkey switch to a cryptocurrency payment system in order to overcome the difficulties in the tourism sector. Demirtaş stated that accepting payments with cryptocurrency could attract new tourists to the sector, and emphasized that this step would make Turkey attractive for tourists in the crypto ecosystem. Demirtaş suggested the following steps to be taken to popularize the use of cryptocurrencies in the tourism sector: “1. This summer, tourism businesses should be allowed to accept payments with cryptocurrency. 2. Devices that can receive payments through wallets managed by the Ministry should be distributed to businesses. 3. Businesses should be able to decide whether to keep crypto payments in Bitcoin, Dollars or TL with these devices. 4. Educational studies should be conducted to eliminate the misperception that cryptocurrencies are associated with crimes such as money laundering. 5. It should be emphasized that crypto payments can be tracked and the advantages of the system in terms of transparency should be emphasized. By being able to receive payments with crypto, it becomes possible for those in the crypto ecosystem around the world to be attracted to the country as tourists. “It would be a good advertisement for the country. I would be happy if it comes to life.” https://twitter.com/ProfDemirtas/status/1868702007797633120 *This is not investment advice.
