Why the Future of Bitcoin Lies in Europe

[ShrykeZ]

No, no. You guys have it all wrong. The future of Bitcoin depends on intergalactic space travel and bringing the blockchain to emerging alien civilizations.

This seems correct to me, muahahaha, but really the whole world needs to be involved in the future of Bitcoin.

Europe always tends to lead the way when it comes to new revolutionary type of technologies... Sure, when you think of new technology popping up you think of China and Japan; but the first people to really use it in a way where it becomes a reality always lies in the EU.  I mean, I see that a lot in my job is directed at specific medical procedures, which Europe tends to always study, use, and regulate first to make it viable for hospitals to use regularly as fast as they can, if the technology looks promising to help doctors do their job.  It just seems to me, they tend to be the front runner for this type of stuff often, and doesn't really surprise me that they would be the front runner for mainstream adoption of bitcoin.

Bitcoin can't be linked to one place due to its elusive digital nature. Bitcoin is internet. It is hard to tell if it will be more popular in EU or in US.
Both EU and US have network infrastructure developed on the level sufficient for bitcoin to dominate market, so it will depend on which countries will create better pro bitcoin regulations.

[lolgato]

The future can lie in any country not necessarily Europe it can be Ivory Coast,Mexico,Uruguay,Caribbean and many others.

[kindcrypto]

I believe as many others here that Bitcoin does not "belong" to a country, it's like the internet.
However, one region will have to be the driving force for adaption.
And I belive it's more likely that it will be Europe then the US.

[kpitti]

I think Europe is more prepared for wide accepting of Bitcoin. Mainly due infrastructure, people are open to the new technologies and they do not hesitate to use it.
Now it`s time to show Bitcoin as trendy and hightech think which everyone needs to have

[CryptoBjorn]

No, no. You guys have it all wrong. The future of Bitcoin depends on intergalactic space travel and bringing the blockchain to emerging alien civilizations.

Using a new shiny blue laser I just bought, I already transmitted a copy of the blockchain to millions of alien civilizations.  No need for travel. 

I bet the aliens are using bitcoins before the humans, Satoshi is an alien
The aliens are just now watching laughing like what a noob we have more bitcoins than those humans.

[Amph]

europe has done more, for not hinder the bitcoin adoption than any others countries

russia is banning, ita, china is not fully accepting it, new york and usa, have heavy restriction, taiwan was banning it too, now they changed their mind it seems...

europe instead, has treated it as another form of money, and it is vat free for them

[Mickeyb]

I have always felt the same. Europe has the least hostile view of crypto currencies so far in my opinion. United States are control freaks and are treating crypto as they control everything when it comes to money.

Asia on the other side might be even worse than the US in the long run, we will see. Europe is the way to go for Bitcoin in my opinion as well!

[Bjiornulf]

Maybe Europe is the best place for bitcoins, but are you realy sure they will be here for long? Bitcoins have no real value, whey are just a chain of 0 and 1 and this have no value. The only value they could have is the price of the energy needed to mine them. Whenever a new crypto becomes popular enough btc will just disapear. It's not like gold where we have a limited amout of resource on earth.

There is a limited amount of Bitcoin and this is theorically 21 000 000, but that's a bit less if you remove all the lost coins. Stocks of companies also have no "real" value, but they're still being traded for money. That's speculation. Bitcoin price is based on supply and demand, like any marker in the world, so as long that there will have a demand Bitcoin will live. And since the supply is growing exponentially, golden ages are lying just ahead.

Bitcoin and other crypto cut out the middleman, and they wont like that.  the middleman will do everything in his power to keep control. 

[masewild]

Sweden is going to be a cashless society. I wonder if there is any effort to introduce bitcoin to Sweden.

I was thinking the same thing. US and Asia seem to be wanting more and more control over everything.
So I'm not surprised if bitcoin turns out to be the most successful in Europe.

[Newcoins2020]

I don't think this will cause any issues any time soon.
We should all be okay as long as we can transfer and make use of bitcoin without any trouble.

[pereira4]

BITCOIN is internet.
Internet early known on Europe so bitcoin is early known in Europe rather in Asia. When bitcoin has been adopt by europe zone ( so mostly bitcoin market hold by europe market meanwhile Asia still want to know bitcoin identity.... somekind that analogy

True, Bitcoin has no nation, anyone in any place on earth, as long as he/she has an internet connection and bright enough talent to contribute to Bitcoin, can shine and will see rewards. If you are a magnificent coder, you can request a new BIP to be added, if you make a successful business, you can get funded by people all over the world through BTC. I don't think trying to limit it all to a single continent makes sense.

[Bugf1x]

Not necessarily, like other people said, it's the internet, and that's all over the world. Everyone can contribute to it.

[masewild]

Not necessarily, like other people said, it's the internet, and that's all over the world. Everyone can contribute to it.

That is right. The Europe cannot contribute to the mining as the electricity there is too expensive.

You can't say just with the increased electricity they can't continue in mining efficiently. This is not fair. They might go with various alternatives of electricity generation. In recent time new users enrolled were lot from the European nation. If they get committed to a technology somehow they will try to visualize the outcome. I think bitcoin will have good growth and will move bitcoin in the growing path in European Nations

[MedaR]

In EU is just a matter of time when BTC is full adopted !
 Using SEPA for buying btc with very small charge is good.
   Europe is more prepared for wide acceptance of Bitcoin.
     Europeans ara more open for new technologies i think.
