Can't say we're very large or anything but a lot of companies in Miami are starting to get on board with bitcoins BTC, Bars, Nightclubs, Hotels, Resturants and a few retail merchants!  |

It would likely be Vancouver as this is where one of the first bitcoin ATMs was placed.
The coffee shop that housed the ATM had so much bitcoin related traffic that people actually came to the coffee shop to trade bitcoin with people hoping to use the ATM. The ATM operator actually needed to hire an attendant to stop people from "front running" the ATM

Asking the highest amount is going to result in a flawed statistic. Greater Tokyo is one of the world's biggest mega metros (36 million), so naturally Tokyo therefore would probably have the most Bitcoin users.
Per capita and per person, on the other hand, Vancouver and then San Francisco are likely the leaders in Bitcoin adoption.
Mind you it's not much of a race. There's only a few thousand Bitcoin merchants in the world and a lot of them are really niche novelty services. Can't afford a Tesla so I can forget about that. No interest in Tattoos or Cannabis seeds.. What does that honestly leave me with? We need way more restaurants and supermarkets to take on BTC but the confirmation times I think scares them away.
Bitcoin's use for me is arguably for international travel and remittance. Border control restricts me from taking more than $500 abroad and oversea ATMs charge me $2 - $5 to withdraw funds in the local currency (even though I am using VISA which is everywhere). Bitcoin allows me to get past that with ease.

There ain't no Revolution like a NEMolution. The only solution is Bitcoin's dissolution! NEM!

Probably China in years to come, they have the largest population. Imagine if they lifted the ban, floodgates will be opened.

In percentage (of the city population) or just total number of users? Since last week, after Arnhem Bitcoincity, I would guess Arnhem (in the east of the Netherlands) has the highest Bitcoin usage per capita. That's a pretty good possibility, but I'll try to host a similar event in other cities in the Netherlands and make them catch up. The Netherlands may become a bitcoin front runner even more.

Greater Tokyo is one of the world's biggest mega metros (36 million), so naturally Tokyo therefore would probably have the most Bitcoin users.

Instead of complaining about it do it like we do in holland, contact local restaurants and ask them to accept bitcoin. In one relatively small city in the netherland there's already 15 bars and restaurants that accept bitcoin. |

I would say that per capita would be a more accurate measure of bitcoin usage then total population of users. Most other population related statistics are measured that way, crime rate, poverty rate, birth rate, death rate, home ownership, ect. |

In the future both St. Kitts and Bali are looking to become Bitcoin Islands. Who knows, maybe all the BTC whales will move to these places (Roger Ver already has). The goal is to make it so that you do not need any fiat currency to live - everything can be paid for in BTC!

I think it depends from the main factor - how well the internet infrastructure and internet ecosystem is developed in the country. China, USA or EU has a strong internet ecosystem. |

I have found the Bitcoin is legal in Germany and Spain. So it could be any cities from these two country.
In what countries are Bitcoins illegal?  |

In what countries are Bitcoins illegal? It was in China. Yeah, figured, but that still isn't enough for his logic to be applicable to this question. Bitcoin is legal in Germany and Spain? Like the majority of all other countries in the world. |
