is there a way to have crypto news of each country ?

[gekido]

Why you dont create a thread or several threads for each major country and a thread for the others country from where people could relay the important news of their country, or the current feeling of banks politics and governement politics regarding cryptos in their country.


In France its difficult to buy crypto

Im living in france and currently the banks are very strict when people are trying to buy crypto, they are intentionally saying bullshit to discourage people to buy cryptos, they decline our virement or credit card transaction when they detect an attempt to buy crypto i have so many examples...

- A friend who bought crypto with his credit card, transaction has been refused saying he dont have the right to buy it, he has been summoned by the bank, they said crypto is dangerous, risky, a lot of people lost their money, bla bla bla....

- A friend who made a virement to coinbase of 10k, the virement has been declined, the bank asking why he wants to buy, crypto is dangerous, etc, they are asking a lot of documents, they are intentionally doing the administrativ process slowly to discourage us, and in the mean-time, 3 months past, bitcoin already went up, the 10k should be more than 20k.

We are forced to create online bank account or mobile bank account, we can spend on money on such stupid things, we can buy car that loses his value after months and years, we can even give 10k to a random guy but they wont let us buy crypto.


But yesterday we had a really good news in france,

15.000 french store will be partner with a crypto consumer app at 2020, we will be able to spend our money on famous high tech stores, clothes, cosmetic, furniture, etc...

Why this news is important ?

Today in france you cant physically buy the latest Iphone or Mac book pro using crypto, and i even doubt its possible online, the once way is to sell your crypto before to spend in the stores.
With a consumer app you will be able to spend your crypto.

If im not wrong, selling bitcoin to buy something in fiat isnt same than buying something direclty using consumer app regarding the daily crypto volume and market.

In france we had a new law few years ago regarding the paiement in cash, it has been limited to 1k euro everywhere, so people doing illegal activities and having cash would exchange it to crypto to be able to consume in store.


To conclude

Here is my feeling of the current banks politics in france regarding crypto and here is the latest good news in my country, what's about your countries guys ? do you have anything important to relay to us ?

Is there any sites that regroup all the country news ? (i didnt find), or may we have a list of sites that group news for each country ? (here is the major crypto news site in france journalducoin.com ).

We can easily find the crypto news about big country as US, china, russia, but if we could regroup all the news of little countries that would be helpfull for traders.

Bakkt consumer app coming soon in US (we have the news everywhere), new consumer app coming in france (we have the news only in french site), maybe there is many others countries that will have consumer app in mid of 2020 ?

I just checked, that's not good enough, the news arnt updated, i think the best way would be to have a list of all crypto news sites of each country then google translate.

[oleg681010]

In fact, I would be very interested to know what is happening in different countries in relation to crypto.

[JC btc]

Here in our country we do have website, groups and page for news and updates, so it is really a good thing as we are becoming aware about what is happening in and outside our country regarding crypto.

It is really important to have news and read when we have time so we can gain some learnings and updates and be confident with what we are investing at.

The united states seems to be one of the number one hubs for policies and heavy decision making. Usually other countries proceed cautiously waiting for the U.S to make their decision first before acting on it themselves.
Just look at the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) and the CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission), they have heavy influence around the globe. Think about how many ICO's were taken out by U.S based regulatory bodies.
 You should check out coindesk as they have daily up to date information regarding the law and other crypto news around the world. They're my number one source for all crypto related news, especially for up to date regulations and policies.

Just search google and it is possible, In fact in our country there are news websites that we can find out about what is happening in crypto currency here in our country.

these are the websites: https://bitpinas.com/
https://cryptocurrencynews.ph/
https://www.google.com/amp/s/cointelegraph.com/tags/philippines/amp

[Lucius]

gekido, we have local boards for that, and you should check https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=13.0 where you can find relevant information related to your country. Maybe you can even open thread there so you and others can post important news.

I wanted to recommend you ATMs for buying crypto, but I must admit that I am quite surprised that there are only three crypto ATMs in all of France. This information reflects in some ways the policies of your government, and thus of banks towards cryptocurrency. However, the good news is that this could change for the better next year, when 25 000 sales points will be accepting Bitcoin as a means of payment. Regarding this new app that will allow you to spend Bitcoins, it is almost the same as you convert it to fiat first and then spend, the app will do the same thing for you.

I'm not sure how reliable this map is, but you can take a look and see what/where you can spend Bitcoin today in France: https://coinmap.org/view/#/world/45.66780527/4.06494141/6

I think the best way to search for news in each country is to research/find the biggest crypto media outlets of each country. Then have those bookmarked in your browser or have a developer create an RSS feed to centralize all the info.

In my country you can't really buy thing with crypto yet. But you can definitely buy electronics, clothes and all kind of products using payment processors that automatically convert btc to fiat so the business is not exposed to price volatility risk.

There are many ways to buy crypto, You can take advantage of online payment services, You can use paypal or the like, then you can buy crypto, I hope this helps.

I totally agree. A sufficient amount of news from different regions is coming to Cointelegraph. Try this out.
I also like ForkLog, but this is a narrower source.

I am sure that the PRESS section can handle with what you are suggesting though there is no specific countries listed in there as sub-section. I guess you have a good suggestion here but this may not be the priority of the Bitcointalk forum, at least for now.

Sad to see that people in France are having a hard time buying Bitcoin and I would assume it can also be hard to liquidate the digital asset in there. This makes USA much better on this area of concern. Anyway, we should be glad that a big help is coming to this market. I am just intrigued, is there a good and user-friendly cryptocurrency exchange that is operating either based in the country or targeting France?

I am really expecting that France should be more crypto-friendly country in Europe but I am wrong, I guess.

[Getmon]

Nope. In some countries, there is no crypto news because crypto is not legal. In some others, no news either because crypto is not even heard of. It is impossible for now. Time will come it will not even hit the news because it is very common to all countries.

[jootn2kx]

I know what you mean, in my country, there is maybe one or two blogs about cryptocurrencies, but they were not mentioned in the news once that I had heard. The government acts like they do not exist at all, and I literally do not know a single person who has heard about them, or knows anything about them. Naturally, I'm doing what I can to change that, but people don't care. They don't care even more when they hear that there's no way to use them anywhere around the country. As for buying stuff online, they are all like 'My credit card is good enough.' Then again, we can't even use PayPal in this country apart from withdrawing money from it, so there's not much hope for crypto in at least a few more decades, no matter what happens to it in the 'outside world.'

[KennyR]

There is no region wise news service on cryptocurrency. Maybe as the popularity grows more and more news services will reach the market. Now around the world not much of incidents happening related to cryptocurrency. What's been taking place is completely covered by the news service renders that are particularly for Cryptocurrency. These days flipboard, Telegram channels, reddit, and other portfolio management application itself provides with every news.

[Beparanf]

Cointelegraph do provide news in different countries, in our country there are websites that provide category for crypto news section and events. I guess all countries who are not ban or prohibits cryptocurrencies have websites that provides news. Actually there are many sources in our country when we search our countries crypto news and event even some local mobile wallet have news section in their app. But it will be better if they will offer also news from diffeent countries.

[Youghoor]

I don't think there is any specific news about cryptocurrency in countries apart from news about the market price of cryptocurrencies and the rate at which their prices fluctuate.
 In my country, for example, there is no news related cryptocurrency about any media platforms. So the only source of news is the platforms that create content for price fluctuation and market adoption by other countries.
Not every country has news media interested in creating content related to cryptocurrency and the crypto ecosystem.
There is no way to have crypto news about every country. Just stick with the news you have about your country.

[Lucius]

I am just intrigued, is there a good and user-friendly cryptocurrency exchange that is operating either based in the country or targeting France?

France -> Cryptocurrency Exchange  -> Google = https://www.paymium.com/

This is an easy way to find out everything you are interested in, although deposits and withdrawals are currently suspended, this is one of the oldest crypto exchange located in Paris. OP does not have availability issues with exchanges, but with banks who refuse to do transactions with them. The problem here is actually finding a bank that approves crypto-related transactions.

[Hamphser]

I think there are local boards each country if you want a specific crypto news other than here which is limited to English people only. Not everyone around the world would post some crypto news here because sometimes they find it hard to understand the main language here which is understandable if this is not their first language. But there are news and articles in the internet already that's helping to spread the word to everyone.

[migws]

Many users have advised you on the Cointelegraph. I join this opinion, it is the best source of the crypto news in most countries.
