Why the Future of Bitcoin Lies in Europe

[masewild]

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.

I see several online shops in the UK accepting bitcoin as a form of payment. There are several in US as well. So there is no difference.

I think the future of Bitcoin lies in PoS and altcoins as Bitcoin sidechains. This means that Bitcoin would become the gold reserve backing these altcoins.

If that is the case, I think it is not good for ordinary people to transfer money. The cost could be very high.

Chris Grundy is a self-confessed bitcoin obsessive and avid tech fan. He works for bitcoin lending platform Bitbond and has written for a variety of online publications. In this article, he speaks to a number of European bitcoin companies about why the future of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology could lie in their home continent, not the US.



Innovation is the primary distinction between leaders and followers. It represents disruption and a challenge to our way of life.

Bitcoin is an important innovation, and it needs progressive legislation to unlock its full potential. Clear and progressive legislative guidance will give aspiring bitcoin entrepreneurs the confidence they need to find new use cases and bring bitcoin to the masses.

Despite this, bitcoin regulation in the US remains unfriendly.

What are your thoughts?  Does the future of bitcoin lies in Europe? Could it lie in Asia?

the most popular and mass adopted of bitcoin is in europe,its norml if europe lead technology about blockchain and bitcoin,and sure its will gonna happen and spreading to asian countries.

The future of Bitcoin lies in the Internet - that's becoming an independant country.

Since bitcoin developed outside of Asia , Europe so it's reasonable if EU zone notice bitcoin first.
As we know how's EU works, when bitcoin appear on first glance on worldwide , many country try to use and make bitcoin more advance.
So as Asian , mostly only able to follow what's update that appear for bitcoin development.

I think some countries within the EU are likely to be more lenient on Bitcoin and unlikely to come down harsh on it which could happen in the US.

Because the Europeans are more oriented towards peaceful advancement in any aspect of life especially in economics, they have a well established manners towards world affairs. their people are also more oriented towards business .

No I do not see this happen, its also a fact that European country's have more influence because there are a lot of them and they can invest for sure in the bitcoin.

If Europe people step the bitcoin will succeed for sure because than the euro will disappear for the bitcoin, it would be awesome.

[nickenburg]

I don't think the future of Bitcoin is only in one Continent of the world.

Bitcoin is for the whole world, imagine the western people all have it cool now, with theire money and don't care about Bitcoin.

And all the more poorer country's of the world, are using bitcoin faster then them,And get more of it.
And then the wealth shifts to all the poor people and then the western world will be poor a fuck, because they miss their change.

I know it is a little far fetched but I think people are going to miss out eventually.

They need to realise this is something of the future and better then our current financial debt system.

I think you misunderstood what I meant, it was a positive outlook towards Europe, not negative.

I think future of bitcoins lies in all the countries and continents. I think India is also becoming very popular among BTC and soon almost all the Indians will start using them at least through mobile.

may be, but most probably India has less chance I guess bro. It will start to arise from europe only.

I dont know why btc future lies in europe, but surely I know that in ASIA many people are using it and the amount of users will always increase rather than decreasing, though the top country being using BTC is USA.

[bitbitch]

i don't see the slightest chance of any nation state adopting bitcoin in the medium term.

[RealBitcoin]

Netherlands and Czeck Republic is very open to BTC, maybe Russia too if you consider that europe.

But not many other places I know other than that. I`d like to see germans , french and UK more in bitcoin.

Well I am from The Netherlands , and yes many people know about Bitcoin.
Especially my friends, I told them about it of course.
But still not open enough to fully believe in it, they like paper money to much

Most people in the western world ignore it because, either they don't believe in it or think it's a scam.

Nice that is good to hear. To me this is still a good news. In my own opinion, everything starts in this - awareness. Once people are aware of what it is and what it is not, only then the product will be available in the market.

Was the guy who implanted a micro chip with his private keys for his Bitcoin wallet from the Netherlands? In general I think Northern Europe is much more interested in using Bitcoins than Southern Europe. I hope people from all the European countries become more forward-thinking and take the time to learn about this new technology and how to use it.

Due to the increased users in the Europe, it is predicted that bitcoin future will be in europe. But they will face big problems when Europe gets the highest bitcoin adoptions.

I don't think that is right. I do think that the future of bitcoin is not in europe for sure. China has the largest bitcoin mining and trading market in the world, so if there's a place supposed to be the future of bitcoin, that place is China
