Topic: [2014-08-23] State of Bitcoin Merchant Adoption in Europe (Read 740 times)
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.

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.
