Title: Which city will be the center of crypto currency Post by: p2pbucks on July 27, 2014, 01:52:04 AM I guess There will be a city fully support crypto currency industry in a not far future.
The definition of city of crypto : I. Any decentralized crypto currency is legal tender and tax free, let the free market decide which crypto will be the mainstream II. Crypto companies have rights to keep customers profile secret III. Gov guarantee will not interfere crypto currency industry Obviously , New york isn't suit for that title. I have some candidates : 1. Tokyo , though mtgox is in Tokyo but it seems japan still is very tolerant to crypto . 2. Hong kong , HK gov think there's no need to regulate Bitcoin if it does not pose a threat to the financial stability of HK . 3. Singapore , Bitcoin transactions may be treated as a barter exchange if it is used as a payment method for real goods and services in Singapore/ 4. Los angles , California gov have signed a bill legalizing Bitcoin , but not sure about the future . 5. Copenhagen , the Denmark top tax authority declared that personal profits and losses from Bitcoin trading would not be taxed 6. Toronto , Toronto has many Bitcoin ATMs and lots of merchant stores accept Bitcoin ( williamj2543 ) 7. Offshore tax free country , offshore countries will always be the heaven of crypto So ..any thoughts ? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ee/Legal_status_of_bitcoin.png/1200px-Legal_status_of_bitcoin.png Ref : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_Bitcoins_by_country Title: Re: Which city will be the center of crypto currency Post by: williamj2543 on July 27, 2014, 01:53:22 AM Toronto, Canada anyone?

Title: Re: Which city will be the center of crypto currency Post by: Chronikka on July 27, 2014, 01:58:29 AM I don't know about Singapore or Hong Kong. As Bitcoin grows it will increasingly pose a threat to fiat. I would expect the governments there to be less accommodating in the future.
Tokyo is interesting because they thrive in the technology sector. Bitcoin will bring a lot of new, lucrative business to the city.

Title: Re: Which city will be the center of crypto currency Post by: mercistheman on July 27, 2014, 05:58:00 AM It may be too early to answer this but it's safe to say that the cities that seriously roll out the carpet for BTC will have a jump start over the others... millions of new revenue.. not including benefits of upstart companies willing to sink capital into the local economy... forward thinking legislators will be early adapters and reap the benefits.
Title: Re: Which city will be the center of crypto currency Post by: redHeadBlunder on July 27, 2014, 06:08:35 AM There will be none.
The decentralized nature of bitcoin will prevent any one place from being the center of bitcoin related transactions.

I don't believe there will be a legitimate or even self-proclaimed center of crypto currency as I believe (and hope) cities will create a sort-of competition for the adoption of Bitcoin.
I more or less think Bitcoin is going to grow on a massive scale globally that all cities (even with different adoption rates) will be considered "centres". The margins will be so close, I don't know if there will be that much of a difference. Title: Re: Which city will be the center of crypto currency Post by: Jace on July 29, 2014, 07:05:12 AM I'd like to make a case for Arnhem (Netherlands) being the #1 Bitcoin capital of the world :)
After we organized Arnhem Bitcoincity (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=619465.0) 2 months ago, more businesses have joined (all sorts of businesses: bars, restaurants, cleaning companies, car dealers, ice cream shops, ICT consultancy & development companies, etc) and I doubt there is any city in the world where you can pay at more different places with Bitcoin than Arnhem. Title: Re: Which city will be the center of crypto currency Post by: TaunSew on July 29, 2014, 08:32:28 AM Unless coinmap is out of date - Arnherm is far from a high acceptance rate. The city is the highest per capita merchants to population for Bitcoin is probably Vancouver.
Here comes the disclaimer - practically no one useful accepts Bitcoin out there. I don't go to tattoo parlors, don't drink tea, don't buy hemp seeds or luxury vehicles and yet that describes 98% of Bitcoin merchants. No one useful like a grocery or a decent restaurant (that isn't an ethnic restaurant) seems to accept Bitcoin yet. The reality of Bitcoin, much like back in 2011, is its' only utility seems to be is buying drugs and weapons online and I don't do that either. Maybe the one difference now is that we can use Bitcoin on Overstock and Newegg and I admit that's a positive change but unless they offer a 3% discount it offers no advantage over using credit. Here comes the disclaimer #2 - there's still practically no merchants for Bitcoin yet. Crypto Currencies are still what $11 billion capitalization? Still a long way to go when considering the dot.com bubble in the late 1990s was $7 trillion. Title: Re: Which city will be the center of crypto currency Post by: Avius32 on July 29, 2014, 09:04:43 AM Don't know, bitcoin is used in so many different country, the only way we could determinate this by finding out in which country bitcoin or other crypto currency is used the most, where it is used the most I would call It crypto currency city or country..

Vancouver's a pretty good hub of cryptocurrency activity, though, especially per capita. We have plenty of ATMs of at least 4 different models and dozens of brick and mortars in a small geographic area. I can get groceries, a bicycle, a haircut, Indian food, Chinese, Italian, German or Polish cuisine, marijuana paraphernalia, computers, games... etc. We have at least 2 Meet Ups a week, and large ones at least once a month. A major technical school and Simon Frasier University are getting on board, and we've got 2 (coming on 4) online exchanges based here. The list goes on Title: Re: Which city will be the center of crypto currency Post by: yayayo on July 30, 2014, 02:02:07 PM There will be none. The decentralized nature of bitcoin will prevent any one place from being the center of bitcoin related transactions. That is the ideal case. If you mean a city in which the administrative authorities use Bitcoin predominantly and support its adoption, then it's going to be some small city-state, likely a tax haven. That is the alternative case if most governments employ bitcoin-hostile regulations such as NYC. Of course I hope that there will be no center and that CCs will flow freely around the entire globe. ya.ya.yo!

The Netherlands have always been a very open minded and progressive country, as well! I'm sure they will embrace Bitcoin!

At least this is what I recall from talking to Niklas fro Bitcoins Suisse AG.

I don't think we will see "centers" like we do with fiat financial centers. The reason why we see financial centers with fiat is because of banks, and many banks converge in a particular city to conduct a lot of business. Since there are no banks with bitcoin this is unlikely to happen. There you go. That's the easiest answer to predict. I'm not guessing one city will just be the 'center', however, oh well. Now some places will see a greater level of bitcoin related commerce then other places, but not to the effect that we will see a "center" of bitcoin commerce.
