Topic: Another country that should have invested in Bitcoin before now. (Read 2033 times)
I find the altcoins newer might be an better investment even, since they will have good features from Bitcoin plus in addition may have new features.

I should be good that their are supermarkets or so all over the world where you can pay with BTC as you pay with any other creditcard.
If you could pay your weekly shoppings for example and you can pay with BTC or any other coin, that should be great.
Maybe (i hope) in the next future this will come.

When you see a sudden depreciation in your currency, you look for a stable source of value. Unfortunately, bitcoin with its current volatility does not provide this function. People would rather buy USD or gold to protect the value of their savings.
Most people divest their savings. Actually most people don't have any savings. If it was only a few that didn't have savings then you can blame them. When most don't have savings then there's a problem with the system. Wages have not increased in decades but costs continue to rise. I'm not saying that dollars are a problem, I'm saying that dollars are THE problem.

The internet is the only nation that counts.

I remain hopeful that a digitally literate and progressive country like Estonia will lead from the front in adopting cryptos in some meaningful and replicable way
The Estonian government appears to be one of the least BTC friendly nations of all by quite a long way.

Bitlegal classifies the environment in Estonia as "permissive".

They can still sell their Bitcoins abroad.
problem will be get the bitcoins first(maybe signature campaigns?)
Even BTC with all this year history is better than belarus money

We have seen this happening in other countries too.... people buy bitcoins on the black market, if other avenues are closed to them.
The government will most probably ban bitcoin to protect the local currency.
They will need to shut down ALL internet access, if they want to stop Bitcoin.

Such things as right now in Belarus happens all the time. And everyone helps Bitcoin tiny bit. Every next year will have more and more impact.

Too late for them. Its still time for Russians to invest in Bitcoins before Rouble becomes worse.
Its as risky as some commodity like gold. The advantage is that it can be easily obtained, stored and transferred.
I think putting money into bitcoin is just as risky as a troubled fiat currency, but the potential for future investment is there (though still risky).

i hope they will accept BTC

Fingers crossed for bitcoin. Its up to the country however, to decide whether or not to use Bitcoin.

Bitcoin can get in, but the question is who will accept this failing currency against bitcoin ?
Good question, not many options on localbitcoins:

But technically speaking, you could just sell BTC for BYR and (quickly) buy some other goods, which can be stored long term. So it's still possible to make a good deal.

How do you know? Are you from there?
People in Belarus do not have wide computer network and good enough computer knowledge for BTC use. And English language can be serious problem too

Buutcoiners also think Belarus isn't a real country
