P.s. Buy when interest is low, Sell when interest is high. That was actually going to be my post but got a little obsessed with Estonia myself Smiley

Given the fact that it has population of a large town it may be due to some IT companies opening their business there, that's only a guess :þ

if this is true then maybe is the solution for the enigma Tongue

in the other hand maybe this is just a coincidence and some new companys opening their business there, in any case seems interesting, lets see if in the next months things go in the same way...

Risto is also from Estonia and he has built a castle with money earned only from Bitcoin, some say.
Maybe a lot of estonians try to also get rich with Bitcoin? (Yeah, I guess that most will or did only lose money with it, but people like to hope.)

We'll see a big surge in search for Bitcoin in countries like Greece pretty damn soon that the delusional left is going to kick them out of the Euro by saying fuck you to Merkel.

Actually you are wrong!
Risto is from Finland! And everyone from Finland goes to Estonia because it's cheaper Smiley

So Estonia is the same thing for Finland like Germany is for Swiss people!

Liechtenstein is a tiny, double-landlocked nation in Europe, just south of Austria and bordering Switzerland. They are a great tax haven and money center of Europe. They have to be, because they are so small and so landlocked that they don't have much else. When Bitcoin hits big time there, Bitcoin will really move.

Luxembourg, while larger, is also a big European money center tax haven.

Possible for exchangers there to be super easy to make fiat withdrawal and particularly remain complete anonymous? Just wondering because that would be the first thing bitcoiners are interested at.

Estonia has the lowest VAT rates on precious metals throughout Europe. Maybe they trust paper money less than their peers. Just a little theory I have been formulating.
