It looks like the massive adoption of Bitcoin has begun in Australia. The Aussie citizens can now deposit BTC at the post office due to the collaboration of Bitcoin.com.au and 3,500+ post offices in Australia.
What do you think of this move guys? Do you think other countries would follow suit? Or are there other countries before Australia who have implemented this in their own post offices as well?
This is very erroneously worded, it is not about any BTC deposits, but about the possibility of buying BTC in post offices. A similar thing exists in Croatia in some 50+ offices across the country, but it's just about buying BTC, they do not offer any other service for now.
A similar service is also available in several EU countries :
Liechtenstein’s official post office is offering fiat-to-bitcoin exchange services through a partnership with Swiss blockchain company Värdex Suisse, a regulated payment service provider based in Switzerland.
Austrian postal services provider Österreichische Post has confirmed it is now offering offline exchange trading for bitcoin, ether, dash and litecoin in a collaboration with Bitpanda, a Vienna-based cryptocurrency exchange. (2017)
To complete a Cash withdrawal with proof of identity in Polish mail via the payment operator Payment Technology, you’ll need to go to „Wallets” tab, choose PLN currency and next choose: „Post Office Withdrawal”. Then type in the amount of PLN you wish to withdraw. The amount cannot contain pennies. You can withdraw up to 15 000 PLN once. To receive your cash go to the Polish Post Office near you. You can choose from over 4,5 thousand Post Offices. Remember that you won’t be able to complete the withdrawal in postal agencies.
It is possible to buy BTC in Switzerland via SBB ticket machines for years :
Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) started the sale of Bitcoin as a pilot project two years ago and as of Thursday, it has become a regular service. About 6,000 customers buy the cryptocurrency at SBB ticket machines, half of them buy it regularly.
As you can see, Australia has not made any revolutionary move, such things have been quite normal in Europe for years.
