The scientist advised IT specialists to be economically active in this area.

Then, the head of  department, PhD in technical sciences, associate professor Yadigar Imamverdiyev and head of department Rasim Mahmudov shared their ideas about the use of bitco in the world, the countries where this technology is most used, and the legal and economic aspects of the bitcoin.
