Iceland? Cheap electricity that cannot be moved outside, only wasted inside (perfect for mining farms). Newly elected government, yet not communistic. The moment BTC becomes their reserve or daily currency, they become the richest country on the planet.

I think the U.S. is crucial to the ability of the Bitcoin to become a stable currency (without a USD exchange, it's not a viable currency). Hopefully the oligarchs don't catch on too early, and shut down the exchanges. Once Bitcoin is capable of standing on its own, I believe Singapore is the next most important piece of the pie, and the U.S. can then go ahead and die an economic death, and it won't affect BTC much, globally. Not before, however.

You forgot The Principality of Sealand. No, I'm not trolling. I think they, or another micronation, could very well take Switzerland's place in the Bitcoin economy. You can't pick Sealand or other micronations, because they are not recognized by other countries. It only takes 3 boats full of cops for the UK to wipe Bitcoin out of there. |

... Some of these countries are already Bitcoin friendly, after all most of the Miners and traders are from Japan and US. But which of these countries has the best possibility to turn into what 'Switzerland is to Fiat currency' .. in other words, which of these countries are still under exposed to the concept of Bitcoin and why do you think they can become a better market in the future.
You mean what Switzerland *was* to Fiat currency. |

On the contrary, they've already tried to kick him out, and failed: http://www.sealandgov.org/historyDuring his summing up the judge said “This is a swash buckling incident perhaps more akin to the time of “Sir Francis Drake” but it is my judgment is that the UK courts have no jurisdiction.” This was Sealand’s first de facto recognition. |

Singapore is the best country of doing business. So I guess bitcoin is going to be best accepted there.

No Chile? Here's a thought for you; Perhaps we don't WANT a 'Switzerland of bitcoin?' Remember that thing called decentralization? It's hard to stay decentralized when a nation becomes a prominent miner. Frankly I'd be much more happy to learn that ALL countries started mining some bitcoin each... On the contrary, they've already tried to kick him out, and failed: http://www.sealandgov.org/historyDuring his summing up the judge said “This is a swash buckling incident perhaps more akin to the time of “Sir Francis Drake” but it is my judgment is that the UK courts have no jurisdiction.” This was Sealand’s first de facto recognition. I think we both know that if Sealand were pumping up oil or something that the UK wanted, that judge would never have been allowed to even address the subject. |

I think we both know that if Sealand were pumping up oil or something that the UK wanted, that judge would never have been allowed to even address the subject. Probably not, no. But he was, and he said it, and it's been the basis of Sealand's ongoing independence since. It's in international waters, and everyone seems to respect it's "borders," So I'd say it's de facto recognized, even without a UN declaration. Frankly I'd be much more happy to learn that ALL countries started mining some bitcoin each...
As would I. Get them involved in the currency wars on the light side of the Force. |

Japan.
Most of the Earth is currently in the year 2013. Japan I think exists in the year 2015, or 2015 and a half.
I mean they have robot spiders and stuff.

Yeah, Bitcoin doesn't really need a "capital" or anything. But Japan wouldn't be the very worst option, with it being the (currently) accommodating home of Magic The Gathering Online eXchange.

yes, but thats all about big data. a private key can you have in your head... there would be no need for a data haven in bitcoin's case. |

Instead of so many putting so many eggs in one single basket, even if that basket is on Neptune, governments have proven themselves sinister and will go anywhere and break any law to take out these single points of failure that this strategy would create. Look at what they did to KimDotCom. Whenever a problem presents itself like this, any time in the future, just remember that Decentralized, peer-to-peer software can solve it. ANY problem. |

Curious why none of you take the name of middle eastern countries like UAE ??
Name one that is stable enough, and is a democracy that can guarantee future stability. |
