Even politicians try to have opinion on it.
What's their opinion? Do they embrace it or do they want to ban it (because of money laundering/terrorism/whatever)?
Those who understand it, they embrace it.
Those who do not, they are not taking a public position, even though most of them are positively inclined.
A lot of credibility is brought in by the University of Nicosia, whose CFO has publicly stated on several occasions that they believe Bitcoin is mankinds most significant technological innovation of the last 20 years.
When people and politicians listed to such comments from the countrys biggest and most respected university, you understand that they will be positively inclined, even if they do not understand it.
