Countries that accept bitcoin payments

[adzino]

You need to think a little bit outside the box with this one. I have a Crypto Debit Card that I can use right now in any country and anywhere that accepts MasterCard. I can choose to pay in any one of currently 7 different crypto currencies BTC, ETH, ZEC, LTC, XMR, XRP, DASH and I have zero fees for spending them. Take a look at Centra it may solve a lot of your current limitations.

I thought VISA and MasterCard were cutting all ties with Wave Crest Holdings who is the main issuer of crypto currencies debit cards? They broke some policies for which all cards will be disabled within the first few weeks of February.

I think many developed countries already use bitcoin as a means of payment transactions, for example in Japan, the United States, Denmark, South Korea and Finland.
In Indonesia bitcoin is an illegal currency but there are some places in Indonesia that are willing to accept bitcoin as a means of payment, as in Bali there are some money changers that accept bitcoin as a medium of exchange, there are also several cafes and some Bitcoin ATM machines which are in Ubud, Kuta and also there is one new ATM machine installed Jakarta.

You will find that the countries most apposed to Crypto currencies are those countries with weak local currencies or dictator/police state countries, where politicians wants full control over their citizens.

Bitcoin is borderless and decentralized and not under the "rule" or authority of a single entity and this is a threat to them. <Their citizens are not allowed to have that level of freedom>

Bitcoin, as a digital asset, is currently available for payment in some countries, such as Japan and Germany. Most businesses accept bitcoin indirectly through third-party payment agencies, ie buyer purchases bitcoin for payment, third-party entities exchange bitcoins immediately after receiving bitcoins, and merchants receive legal currency instead of bitcoin.

At present, although the cryptocurrency market is still hot, its treatment in different countries is not the same. Some countries are boycotting them, while others are expanding their use. Bitcoin payments are gradually expanding from nonprofit institutions such as universities and charities to a wide range of business services.

Of course, different countries have different views about bitcoin, we cannot blame them, not all countries are open to this kind of platforms, some due to ignorance and incapacitated in terms of cyber related platforms such as bitcoin that is obviously internet-based system, even in a single country, not all people under that country has the same percepction as far as bitcoin is concern, just give bitcoin a chance, surely in its time, slowly more and more people and country will accept cryptos, not only bitcoin.

Bitcoin payments are not accepted by government in Vietnam also as many other developed countries, because bitcoin has not shown its true value. The bitcoin value is based on the number of users. Its value is not stable, can be increased or drop down rapidly. Moreover, besides Bitcoin, there are many other coins in the world's crypto currency, which makes bitcoin lose its value when currency market is fluctuated..
