Do you agree that Bitcoin will become popular in the Middle East soon?

Given the statistical data that you have mentioned it is a clear fact that bitcoin can really be famous in the middle east. Given the resources and money of the people from the middle east it is not a question on whether they can afford or not but on how much bitcoin are they planning to purchase. This oil rich countries have seen the value of bitcoin and will enlist bitcoin in their feasible investments.

giving them enough knowledge for sure they will adopt this system, oil and gold can be transact using bitcoin as they are really
rich with both venue lets see how this news will bring new momentum  in the middle east.

[gentlemand]

When LBC volumes explode in a new country the first thing I normally do is check whether MMM has started up there.

[BitcoinHodler]

bitcoin adoption has been growing in many different countries and with every positive news it grows a small bit. and then there is always price of bitcoin and how good a long term investment bitcoin is.
and this is not limited to one country or one region, it is everywhere. and remember than most people in other countries like Saudi Arabia and middle east are not using localbitcoins so their volume is not even considered.

[mindrust]

It seems they finally realized bitcoin is a better choice than gold when it comes to hide your money away from the shady governments.

Most of you already know Saudi's are the biggest fans of Gold and USD.  (They like USD even more than Americans)  This kind of interest in bitcoins won't make USA very happy. Be careful for another bitcoin FUD may be incoming.

Middle East countries are already known for it riches. I don't know if  the volumes are real, if real then the rich people have found a new way to play around with their money with the btc playground and investment. Although 100K USD is still small, I think it will grow more as Middle East will find btc as good investment instrument specially for the rich oil nations citizen.

[izanagi narukami]

If they interest on bitcoin as much as Chinese investor, I think it will bring more impact on bitcoin value ( mostly will increase significantly)
They have biggest market on the earth ( oil company ) and with huge $ cap, it's really great ! Looking foward to see it

[Denker]

Well ~$110k isn't that much. However the increase percentage wise is something.
Let's see how this will develop in the future. Maybe some sheikh will find Bitcoin interesting enough invest some serious millions. These guys have more than enough money to play with.

Not all Middle Eastern countries are rich – the Arabian Gulf countries only are (including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and United Arab Emirates). They got Millions of Dollars from Oil selling, and they can easily play with them in the bitcoin field.
 
And yes, Bitcoin is getting more popular in these regions, but I hope, wish and pray my country doesn't know about bitcoin, or at least ignore/neglect it — they will use it as a way to profit from its users .

Having high trading volume, there is no doubt that bitcoin will become popular in the middle east sooner or later. Though the amount was not yet that big, this indicates that Saudi Arabia is beginning to fully accept the bitcoin technology, and it will take only a matter of time for its fame to burst throughout the middle east.

Having these type of news is so promising. We can clearly see how bitcoin's popularity had become in the past years. It would seem that we hear news about bitcoin left and right mostly every week.  I think that it will not take too long for bitcoin to become famous worldwide.

hope so, saudi have invested large enough in china, saudi moderate enough economic problems, we hope that saudi could be one bitcoin bridge to the Arab world

[yosakahina]

saudi is the gateway to the Arab world and has ambitions of being strong enough to strengthen their economies. bitcoin is the right choice for it. we all hope saudi officially legalize bitcoin

[bartolo]

The countries on that area are investing and researching on blockchain technology, they are aware that oil won´t last forever and they are looking for a site in the forefront of new technologies, as an example the Dubai smart city project. Therefore, an increase in the popularity of bitcoin in the area would not be surprising.

[European Central Bank]

maybe bitcoin's future there is gonna depend on how the religious cranks view it.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/is-bitcoin-halal-how-cryptocurrency-conforms-with-islam-and-sharia

it's easy to forget their view of money and whether it's halal or not.

[QuestionAuthority]

Too bad they're buying on LBC. That means they're not moving the price.

[aTriz]

With the governments as there are now and the conditions, bitcoin will definitely be quite popular in middle east. And subcontinental Asia too.

I think that would be a big advantage for countries that are not so developed yet, to implement bitcoin as a another way to make a payments.
It is a great opportunity, because even if the percent of  population using bitcoin is really small, that still may give great returns, also thanks to the taxes.

But all of us need to admit, that paying taxes is something that many people dont do over where, they try to avoid it, because it is fairly easy with cryptocurrencies, however that is still against the law.
You should always consider paying taxes, as a help to your country, and a help for the nation. After all, some of this money go to health service, and to help the poor part of society.

Well, from the way things are presently in the middle east, it is obvious the popularity of cryptocurrency is increasing by the day even though, in the interim, the the current legal status of bitcoin in the UAE is still blurry. Early in January 2017, the UAE Central Bank published the “Regulatory Framework For Stored Values and Electronic Payment Systems which focused on facilitating robust adoption of digital payments across the UAE in a secure manner,” but thesame regulation contains a statement “D.7.3. Provisions for Virtual Currencies – All Virtual Currencies (and any transactions thereof) are prohibited”, which is a little bit causing concern among the cryptocurrency community in the UAE.
Nevertheless, I see a great future for cryptocurrency in the UAE.
