Though digital currency has undeniably accumulated a strong following among consumers in Europe, the region has arguably trailed the US market in one notable area – high-profile merchant adoption.

Despite a number of mid-size merchants such as AirBaltic, 220volt and most recently Shipito joining the growing ranks of bitcoin merchants worldwide, a merchant with the revenue and notoriety of DISH, Expedia or Overstock has yet to become part of the region’s bitcoin ecosystem.

Payment systems in Europe are pretty decent. Free payments in the EU on a one day basis with SEPA is good competition for Bitcoin. I do not expect much Bitcoin merchant hype within the EU for this reason.
