Title: [2014-06-10] Bitcoin in Israel's central news edition on channel 2 Post by: Meni Rosenfeld on June 10, 2014, 07:46:38 PM We've had our fair share of Bitcoin coverage on TV; but for the first time, there was a story about Bitcoin in a central news edition in Israeli TV, on channel 2, June 10 2014 (the program starts at 19:58).
The story focused on a new Bitcoin ATM placed in the "Town House" hotel in Tel Aviv (a Robocoin machine, operated by the Israeli BitBox). For various reasons the program referred to it as "the first Bitcoin ATM in Israel", despite the fact that we already have a Lamassu ATM. In addition, the Bitcoin Embassy in Tel Aviv was shown, along with some general discussion about Bitcoin.

Would you consider it a friendly country for crypto currencies?

Thanks for sharing though. I enjoy the fact that the community here comes from so many different places and perspectives. |
