Ukrainian Village Earns Crypto Profits, Plans To Use Them For Public Work

By Prashant Jha

A village in Ukraine seems to have majorly benefitted from investing in cryptocurrencies. After the head of the village council made a crypto investment on behalf of the entire region, they managed to earn a hefty sum of profit. The village in question is in Elizavetovka, Dnipropetrovsk.

In the first part of this year, around springtime, the head, Maxim Golosnoy, had purchased a small quantity of cryptocurrencies. He had bought crypto coins worth $500, claiming that an equal share is to go to each and every adult villager who lives there. When he had actually made the investment, the move had ended up attracting quite a bit of media attention and coverage but not much was known at the time about possible returns.

However, of late, an exciting news reached the villagers as they learnt that they were going to earn a substantial amount of revenue out of it. Although the sum becomes rather miniscule when divided among all adult residents, the joy of having a profit has caused a great degree of elation in the village. Each resident has earned a profit of 100 hyrvnias that come to around $3.60. With regard to this profit earning, Golosnoy commented that:

“This was a cryptocurrency experiment. No budgetary funds have been spent and you still have the cryptocurrency. The funds you have just received are only dividends.”

The coins purchased by Golosnoy included Cardano, Ethereum and Bitcoin Core. Apparently he sold the Cardano holdings soon afterwards as the price rose by $0.25 over that time. It has been revealed that the profits will be used for funding pothole repairs after the snow thaws after the winter and upcoming spring. Around $400 will be required for this public work of repairing the damaged potholes and it is indeed incredible that a crypto investment is making it possible.
