It is good that Bitcoin services are available on so many stores. But the big question is who is going to use them? Right now, there are at the most around 1 million Bitcoin users, of which some 100,000 may be serious users. Even if we estimate that 1% of them (1,000) reside in Taiwan, that corresponds to 10 stores per user.

Taiwanese startup Maicoin has launched a system that lets users buy bitcoin at 10,000 convenience stores in the territory, both over the counter and at in-store terminals.
Maicoin founder and CEO Alex Liu said foreign workers using bitcoin for remittances would benefit from the over-the-counter service, as it does not require users to have a bank account.
In Asia, people routinely pay utility and postal bills at convenience stores by giving physical cash to store clerks who initiate electronic transfers.
