Title: Who needs China, we have Taiwan
Post by: pawel7777 on December 25, 2014, 02:59:34 PM
Some good news from Taiwan, over 5000 convenience stores will be selling bitcoin to the public.

It would be better if they also accepted bitcoin, but still, that's a good start.

Quote
KBBEX has formed a strategic partnership with Taiwan renowned bitcoin company, BitoEx, to supply bitcoins in more than 5000 convenience stores in Taiwan. The cooperation turns the development of Taiwan bitcoin industry into a new leaf that bitcoins, the well-known digital currency, walk into the daily-life of Taiwan citizens.

BitoEX CEO Mr. Cheng Kuang Tai said, “Following the existing 3000+ FamilyMart convenience stores, BitoEX has signed agreements with two other mega convenience store enterprises (OK Mart and Hi-Life), making it now a total number of more than 5,000 locations in Taiwan available for purchasing bitcoins in late 2014. We have chartered KBBEX as our supplier of Bitcoin to BitoEX. We are confident that in collaboration with KBBEX and the associated companies, the recognition of bitcoins will grow and general public would cast their vote of trust to bitcoins.”

The quoted article has been published today, but it mentions "late 2014" so not sure whether it has already happened.

It's great to see that many areas are seeing increased options and/or many different hubs where BTC can be bought at. And I mean, right smack dab in the midst of where the average person mingles. That means when the next rally starts, interested parties (which could be almost everyone) would have easy means at acquiring BTC and thus there could be long lines in front of these ATMs throughout the world w/ people making the exodus out of fiat into crypto thus ensuring a sustained panic buying frenzy leading to a mind boggling uptick in the value of BTC. So, let there be no more talk of price going to the moon, from now on the battle cry should be going to another galaxy. ;)

Indeed positive. Although stores selling bitcoins are there, what we also need are stores that will also accept bitcoin as payment currency for goods, products and services. If this trend continues and comes into practice in every country, that would be a major step towards adoption.

Like OP has said, its a good start BUT Taiwan has a MUCH smaller population as compared to China.

So yes, we still do need China for mass Bitcoin adoption unfortunately.

its government used to control the whole of mainland china until the communists kicked them out and now that's all it has left, it still calls itself republic of china and considers itself the legitimate government, so did the rest of the world until the 70s

For long term, no one needs China, but actually there are many crazy speculators in China who would improve the price, for those speculators who are not real bitcoiners did need China, IMO

Regardless, physical adoption of Bitcoins is really the only thing that will ensure long-term prosperity of BTCs as a mainstream currency one day.

China recently surpassed the United States as the world's largest economy based on purchasing power parity.
So it would not be right to say Bitcoin can do without China.
Taiwan could provide a small impetus, but nothing close to what full fledged adoption in China could do.

There are so many people who travel to Taiwan for shopping. And I learn from the website that Chinese people can go freely to Taiwan, because they are one family. The future of Bitcoin is bright there,  I think.

You're wrong,in fact,we can say China(mainland) and Taiwan is two different country, it's. But we are the same nation, but in different social system.

And if you like shopping, Honkong would be your best choice than Taiwan. HongKong is a famous free port with many kind of goods without taxes.

In fact,getting a Taiwan visa is harder getting Korean or Japan one for Chinese, Taiwan free-walk is available for some cities of China though.
