An International Summit of Cryptocurrencies on North Korea to be held in 2019

The next year between the 18 and 25 of April Pyongyang is going to host an International Summit of Cryptocurrencies.

The North Koreans are trying to get updated and trying to get into the digital world and the world of the cryptocurrencies, maybe they are no so far behind as we thought (for being a communist country) Yes,i assume that only the communist elite will have the privilige to use cryptocurrencies.
Perhaps they will use cryptos as a tool to bypass the international sanctions over North Korea,when it comes to financial transactions.I remember that a few bank accounts in Asian banks,that belong to North Korea were blocked a few years ago.

North Korea is still difficult domestically, it is still closed with a terrible personality cult. Of course, progress in the direction of the cryptocurrency will not be able to immediately bring about the prosperity of the citizens, even the passage of the international summit. It's just a small step. And the removal of sanctions restrictions from the country is carried out at the international level.

Personally, I doubt. Will later, cryptocurrency be able to grow in North Korea? Because as we know, the North Korean government is very restrictive for its people to access the internet.

I wish I could get in touch and  travel to such conferences and meet ups. Most crypto enthusiasts wish they can get such opportunities to attend such important conferences. We need people  in the world of blockchain technology to meet and interact physically.
