The U.K. has - and Europe in general - have taken a stand-back-and-see-what-happens approach," he said. I liked this approach. I thinks London is the best place for Bitcoin capital Title: Re: [2014-08-17] London may become bitcoin capital Post by: jolipenria on August 17, 2014, 06:50:12 PM The capital of Bitcoin is the world network Title: Re: [2014-08-17] London may become bitcoin capital Post by: dwdoc on August 18, 2014, 01:55:52 AM Hopefully this will cause NY to reconsider its heavy handed approach.
In the long run it doesn't matter but in the short run it will permit quicker mainstream adoption.

What the Hell's in London related to crypto? Article author assumes wherever legacy finance is, Bitcoin's bound to go? I don't mean to say London doesn't have a significant number of bitcoin users, but the last time I read a BTC-related press release out of London was, ummm..... never, and considering favorable legislation and a strong user base already exists in the stronger economy of Germany, looking at London as some kind of "capital" seems left-field.

I agree. I doubt that the "capital" of bitcoin will be where fiat based money centers are. Personally I would predict that Vancouver BC will likely somewhat be the btc capital as it is the home of the first btc ATM. |
