Yeah, you're right, bitcoin and blockchain are beyond politics. I don't care either, just expressing what I noticed visiting the western part of Ukraine.
Some people don't care about politics, some care. But in this question of local board everyone is united.
And we need to get at least an answer..
I think we don't have local board either because of laziness or because of politics..
Recently we had iForum in Kyiv - you can check short video from it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAZPPWK-XwM&t12 000 IT people came there! Separate #Blockchain stream was with many interesting speakers.
Next day we had Blockchain Kyiv summit.. may be 1000 attendants.. and we have lots of such big events.
Many countries don't have such big cryptocurrency community and industry, but have local board.
Anyway it seems mods are waiting for Satoshi Nakamoto and his word.
