When it comes to Bitcoin adoption and awareness, Europe seems to be struggling a bit compared to other continents such as North America, Asia and even South America. But that doesn’t mean Bitcoin is not popular in our continent, the efforts just seem to be far more localized than we would like at this time. According to Alan Donohoe, one the founders of the Bitcoin Foundation of Ireland, that situation will change relatively soon.

Think it's a difficult time for Europe, and specially people are weary of governments and financial institutions.
It would only take one of these dumb left wing populists to talk about bitcoin and many would buy.
Not the way I would like to see btc adopted around here, I admit :/

Europe's finances are in a bad shape, especially the so called "euro zone" If the union breaks apart, and some countries have already threatened to leave, euro will dive even more than rubble and hryvnia.

No matter what happens to EU regarding countrys leaveing it or being forced to leave, EUR will remain intact as a currency, and there is zero chance of it changing into anything else.
Threats to leave are a bluff, and even if that happens, it will happen on damage of leaving country, not on a union itself. Perfect example is Greece, what did they do to benefit EU? Nothing. It's better to loose them than to find them i say, and same goes for any other EU country that wanted EU privileges, but failed uphold their part of the deal, and to help with stability of the region.

cheers
