#SouthKoreaCryptoPolicy South Korea is a country where 5G outpaces your thoughts, and the old lady from the neighboring house easily beats you in StarCraft, is seriously tackling cryptocurrency reform. President Lee Jae-myung, who looks like an IT specialist but thinks like a technological visionary, has decided not to be modest and aims high: to turn Korea into the epicenter of the global crypto industry.

And here’s the most interesting part — the National Pension Fund, that very "stash" for retirement for millions, may soon start investing in cryptocurrencies. Imagine: 72-year-old Mrs. Park from Busan, who has been saving for a new microwave for decades, will now depend on whether Bitcoin breaks through to $110,000 or crashes again by 30% after another tweet from Elon Musk.

Sounds like madness? Quite. Brilliant? Possibly. Typically Korean? Undoubtedly.

And this is just the beginning.
