Can London be a Global Bitcoin Hub?

[Slark]

I don't get why people are so concerned with making certain cities bitcoin 'hubs' or 'capitals'. Isn't the biggest thing about bitcoin it being decentralized and essentially boderless? We don't need any central places so lets concentrate on spreading adoption far and wide rather than trying to get clusters in cities.

Didn't Brock Pierce try to do something like a Bitcoin city/center or whatever.
And there have been several threads talking about a Bitcoin Island.

I still don't get why though.
Whar is the need for these things?
Can't Bitcoin just be global?

Bitcoin is global, decentralized and borderless. But people need something like bitcoin embassy - they need a physical and existing symbol of Bitcoin. Not just code over the internet.
If we want for bitcoin to success we need to establish some places like that.  Mainly for promotional purpose, just for people to see that bitcoin is not a concept and is quite real.

I don't think we do at all. In fact, I think bitcoin is better off without centralized entities like this and the Bitcoin Foundation. They just seem to confuse most people as they think they have some authority or control over bitcoin when in fact they don't.

Exactly!.
We don't need anyone or any group giving the false image that they are in charge.
We should keep things as they are. And that is that when it comes to Bitcoin, there is no boss, there is no authority, there is no centralization.
I see all these as poor attempts by some to give out the image that they are in charge or whatever.

If there is ever a hub it would be in countries with lax tax laws, and ones that allow banking privacy. My bet is on Dubai or Singapore.

London can be a Global Bitcoin Hub probably. I believe It's a very positive attitude, one of this is an amazing innovation we're going to have to have some kind of regulation in terms of money laundering, but let's do this in a constructive way, in partnership with the  technologists and industry.
