I am glad to announce that november 3rd we have opened a bitcoin embassy in tel-aviv, Ahuzat bayit 1, at street level, right infront of the new israeli stock exchange building. You can see our landing page www.bitembassy.org and Facebook:https: www.facebook.com/pages/Bitcoin-emBassy-שגרירות-ביטקוין/598594583521066We have since been been building the place up, figuring out what an 'embassy' should be doing... Lot's of people come around every day, and there are 3-5 permenant members of the community that come daily and work from the embassy while manning it, plus there is a gallery floor we rent out to a bitcoin startup, and they also keep the place alive. We have walkins, satoshi square meetings, wallet instructions, developer nights, and we are working to make a bitcoin innovation lab close by. We sell cafe and stuff for bitcoin only (all going towards donations for the community), also hope to install a lamasu ATM we ordered (and should arrive febuary) The embassy is a non-profit, i am funding it at the moment, but we have much help from the community including the israeli bitcoin association and we hope to make it sustainable within a year |

I don't know what the Israeli Central Bank thinks about Bitcoin, but this is a huge step for Bitcoiners in the Middle-East.

"Anybody stupid enough to scream 'greedy jews' better check themselves. Hard." This is unKosher... you censoring piece of shit. "That's awesome. I'm originally from Israel, so I'm proud of you." How about screaming 'Jews are the superior race and all Goyem are here to serve us and I'm proud of you just because you're not Goyem??!? All we can do is laugh. So here is a joke.  Black bras - The Business Deal A Chinese guy goes to a Jew to buy black bras, size 38. The Jew, known for his skills as a businessman, says that black bras are rare and that he is finding it very difficult to buy them from his suppliers. Therefore he has to charge $50.00 for them. The Chinese guy buys 25 pairs. He returns a few days later and this time orders fifty. The Jew tells him that they have become even harder to get and charges him $60.00 each. The Chinese guy returns a month later and buys the Jews remaining stock of 50, and this time for $75.00 each. The Jew is somewhat puzzled by the large demand for black size 38 bras and asks the Chinese guy, "...please tell me - What do you do with all these black bras?" The Chinese guy answers: "I cut them in half and sell them as skull caps to you Jews for $200.00 each." .......and this is why the Chinese own us! "Business is Business" |

Thanks for the support...
Israel has become quite a Bitcoin hub.
I don't know it has to do with being jewish as much as it has to do with the israeli frame of mind. Alot of people here think independently, this is one of the reasons we have such a large startup per capita ratio, and might be the reason we have a huge bitcoin community...
The meetup group here is more then 1 thousand members, and this is for a very small country. We have bi-weekly meetups organized by the israeli bitcoin association, and just last week we had the first miss-bitcoin meetup, that moran from the emBassy organized. For what i know it's one of the first (if not the first) female bitcoin event, There were around 50 attending and media coverage.
We have had 2 israeli mastercoin board meeting in the emBassy.. So yea, we support all crypto-currency projects.
Things are starting to take form, we are not even finished renovating the place so we can have a sort of formal opening, this is our first thread announcement... So i hope you hear of us in the media soon...

LOL you butthurt bitch. You got the chinese and jews backwards, and substitute skull cap for rice bowls/'luxury goods' Because jews are the ones selling their kidneys for an overpriced iphone LOL |
