Polish Central Bank is said to have financed anti-crypto campaign
The Polish Central Bank is said to have financed a media campaign aimed against cryptocurrencies . These include Youtube videos and Facebook commercials. The campaign is said to have cost over 27,000 US dollars. Also the Youtuber Marcin Dubiel should have been involved in the campaign. On his Youtube channel he posted a video entitled “I lost all my money”.

Joyce’s statements are in the context of statements by IMF leader Lagarde and US Treasury Secretary Mnuchin, both of which seek to curb the criminal potential of cryptocurrencies .
