also was linked to by drudge.  cool!

This has been brewing for a while, and there have been some major players basing themselves there. It's weird how hubs appear, but in this case all the circumstances happened to be in favour. It's also an off shore banking place.
Not a hell of a lot else going on there though.

Great..!! This such a wonderful. hopefully others will also consider to make a step ;D

That is one giant article... :D Nice to see this forming though.

What got me wondering, does bitcoin really need a hub? Being digital, can't the hub consist of players around the world, being linked through the internet?

This is very important news - Isle of Man is one of offshore countries in Europe. May be this is just start  ;D

beautiful pics btw. I would instantly pack my things and move to this place.

almost as cool as liberland :D

Cool article. Not sure it's necessarily the best thing in the world to continue being associated with tax havens, but hey, why not.

this was a great article.. i hope it will start now here..
even it off shore or something i think its a good start..

What a cool play to live. I can drink my beer with my bitcoins and paying my bitcoin wallet  :D I want to live this place or somewhere like that one.

Time to pack up the bags and move

Why not?  Tax heavens exist for a while and will exist many more years. Why? Well old, wealthy, gray haired gentlemen needs them to exist. If it's in their interest, trust me they will do everything to keep them up and running.

As for the Bitcoin, this is a great news. We need places like this, to emerge, and to give us a recognition and to essentially give us a chance to do business, something that other conventional government are still reluctant to do.

That is true.
Many wealthy gentlemen and ladies find refuge for their monies there.
Why not for their Bitcoins too.
That being said, most of these people own web/retail stores who could be accepting Bitcoins.

really good news,but too far from my place :(

people already know this since 1,5 years.

it is like Jersey in a way.

It's a great place if you love your motorsport. If you're the type who likes to roll around on the beach you might find the weather will break you. It's in the middle of the Irish sea. 

Great place indeed.Would love to visit when I become BTC Millioner :D

You have to read between the lines :

" Cryptocurrency exchanges must now abide by the island’s anti-money laundering and know-your-customer requirements, with the Isle of Man’s financial regulator enforcing compliance. “To keep crime out and protect the consumer is our absolute priority,” Donegan says. "

and

" Woolnough says submitting to “an intelligent regulatory regime” is the only way bitcoin will gain widespread acceptance. “Otherwise, bitcoin could become just the plaything of the dark Web,” he says "

Nice place... but still under the control of the Big eye in the sky.  ::)

it looks like this time, bitcoin is increasingly widespread
this is the good news :D

really the place of dreams, are keen to move there  ;D

Hope they prosper a lot so there are many places that copy their success  8)

It's a nice place, but I still don't want to live there.

To much bad news, we need more like this, even if they still under some Big Eye control, this could be big..

I think we will hear more good news like this in coming weeks.Last couple of moths were very hard and heavy for Bitcoiners.There was an atmosphere of uncertainty but this is appreciable news.We need good news thanks for sharing it.

 Maybe bitcoin doesnt need hub but bitcoin start ups ned very much.Look very goodarticle showing why Europe is  place for Bitcoin growth

Isle of Man is off shore banks place and has very friendly taxation system

There's absolutely no doubt this is great news. The UK might even be influenced by their regulatory frame.

I hope that other countries in Europe might follow as well!

It's very good news.

I like the concept of different Bitcoin hubs being created in every country. It could serve as the "Panic Room" for citizens when Bitcoin gets over regulated in the rest of the world. We have seen this same thing

happening with the gambling industry. Some industries need safe areas to do their business.... It is not always illegal businesses that operate from these areas... just those businesses that struggle under normal

government controls. We need more neutral areas like these that are "Bitcoin Friendly" and open minded. The NY Bitlicense is the direct opposite of what is supposed to happen... and I hope such a safe haven would

be created in the USA {Jersey}? 

Very nice looks like a beautiful place, maybe some day i will go there for vacation  :)

Nice place to make as Bitcoin Island. There are have a cat without tail, so cuuteee >_<

Well some good news is already appear recently, i hope this will bring Bitcoin to good direction :)
