What do they mean 20 Bitcoin retailers? Does it mean that there are stores that are accepting bitcoin as mode of payment in Singapore? I mean with the size of the population of Singapore, its really nice to see that they are indeed accepting it. Let's just wait how the Government of Singapore will implement those regulations and see how the Singaporean bitcoin community will react.Title: Re: [2017-10-06] Singapore's government monitors cryptocurrencies and considers regu Post by: aso118 on October 06, 2017, 07:20:55 PM Singapore is seen as an investor friendly and technology friendly country. They have low taxes and a stable legal environment. They could turn into the Bitcoin capital of the world.
