“Cryptocurrencies today are like on a swing - upward, then down. Maybe, There is a future behind them, maybe, There will be something. But I still do not see them with the official currency in the calculations of the state. ", - she said.

“We accumulate all the information. The time will come, And we will seriously deal with this issue ".
