Title: Le Cercle du Coin Creates a ‘Bitcoin Boulevard’ in Paris
Post by: Posternut on November 07, 2016, 02:42:37 PM
The Le Cercle du Coin association just announced the grand opening of France’s first “Bitcoin Boulevard”. With help from Maison du Bitcoin, the boulevard passage will feature an eclectic range of merchants, artisans, and bistros that are proponents of the decentralized cryptocurrency.

Jacques Favier, co-founder and Secretary of Le Cercle du Coin wanted BTC to have its own boulevard in Paris. So the French-speaking European Bitcoin association decided to act on the idea. The group has designated the Passage du Grand Cerf, a beautiful location located in the heart of the trendy quarter of Montorgueil, as its Bitcoin Boulevard.

Great idea. I think this is the first of its kind in Europe. Next time I'm in Paris I'm going to visit it.
Excelent way to make Bitcoin more popular, to announce it to the larger number of people and as a good marketing too.
Maybe could be interesting for the tourists. Just wait for other european cities and similar ideas.

Interesting. I'm not sure it's very useful, but interesting. I've been there some years ago. It's a passage with expensive shops for financially well-off people. I'm not the kind of person who's shopping there, but you have to start somewhere. The best thing in my mind is that it's in the heart of Paris. The historic buindings of the "Banque de France" and the stock exchange are very close.

Additionally, many other cities worldwide such as Switzerland’s Zug and the Dutch city of Arnhem have also created Bitcoin hubs.

I have known about the Swiss city of Zug that is implementing the payment of bills through Bitcoin but I didn't know about Arnhem. I think it's a great idea and I hope more European cities will follow in their footsteps making Bitcoin popular.
