Considering how expensive everything gets in there, BTC may be a good option to use instead of euros. (I was in Croatia two years ago and one year ago and the gap between the prices was insane)

not a lot of good with a 10% premium

Wrong!! Let it be 10% premium or even more but when a government body accepts cryptos for the benefit of common mass, it creates huge trust impact in positive direction! It also makes a lot of people intrigued about this new type of currency system which in turn helps the flow of new investments into crypto ecosystem.

Let the premium be 10% or more, but it certainly takes the game into next level. Imagine the same happening in highly populated countries like China or India!

@dzoni:
Do you serve only local people with the ID issued by the country of Croatia?
Or anyone from the EU/world?
You only buy crypto from people who already have it, and you don't sell crypto to the people, right?


I guess Dzoni isto busy to answer but since I live in Croatia, and often visit post offices, I can try to answer.
Generally, there is no limit to what services you can use in the post office, even if you are from abroad, so I'm sure that you can use their new service, crypto exchange, without any problem.

Thanks, that's clear now.

You don't buy or sell crypto from the people in the post office, but using app. created by Dzoni's company.
Dzoni will explain in more detail when he show up again here.
I was a bit misleading, sorry, I wanted to tell that you (the company created by Dzoni) only buy crypto, but you (the company) don't sell any crypto to the people there.

I would prefer if they allowed to pay your bills in crypto without exchanging but I appreciate the effort Smiley

It's interesting that they are also accepting altcoins. They had to do some research before adding this option which means crypto education for employees. Maybe it will spread to other offices.

Does the post office accept crypto for shipping transactions or for other purposes? but I think if this happens I think it is good for Croatia and it can be emulated by other countries in adopting crypto and making good use of it.

Currently it does not accept but there are plans for it in the future, according to user dzoni.

This is good news for all traders. And good news for the crypto currency world. Because, everyone wants. crypto currency should be declared by all governments. So everyone can manage and use it beautifully.
It is going to surely get to that stage but will be a gradual process, I have not heard of Croatian compliance to cryptocurrency before, but now we have seen it, this is the same way that other countries that has not been heard of will also start joining gradually, and like you said, these ones are already setting space down for some other countries now.

I think right now, I am aware of about 6 countries that are fully in use and support of cryptocurrency, which is beginning to make it difficult of any country to make any suggestion as regards the general ban of cryptocurrency, which will make them to start looking into also adopting it, just like china is beginning to consider, although they are only considering if they can develop their own cryptocurrency also.

Can you believe it?
We, the Croatian Bitcoin community, are really shocked with this information and we did not expect this.
It seems that right now Croatian post office will offer this service as pilot project only in one city in Croatia- Zadar, but hopefullythis service will be extended soon to all post offices in the Republic of Croatia!
It's great step for bitcoin acceptance in Croatia.
So, what are you waiting for, come in Croatia and spend your bitcoin and other crypto here  Grin Grin Grin

Original info about it came from user Branko in this topic :
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/iznenaenje-hrvatska-pota-ulazi-u-crypto-biznis-5167858
 and also from FB page "Bitcoin mjenjacnica " and Croatian magazine Bug. I also contacted directly Croatian postal service and will post here their official answer about future plans with this crypto exchange.
It’s good to know that they are not just buying bitcoin but also 4 most high valued altcoins as well

If Croatian Government can make this Pilot fun and give chance crypto to prove its economic advantage maybe it’s time for other countries to do as same,specially those who has been cruel to cryptocurrency for long time now

I really hope that other countries will follow our example Smiley
It would be great to be able to easily and quickly convert crypto funds to local currencies anywhere in the EU.
I also hope other post offices in Croatia will join this project soon.
dzoni, any update about it? Smiley

People already can pay bills in the post office but since official currency in Croatia is kuna, it's not possible right now that people pay bills with crypto currency or with any other currency.
But, people can exchange, for example, bitcoin to kuna and with kuna pay their bills Smiley
We hope to change this in Autumn ;-)

This sounds cool. Croatian government seem to be really interested in bitcoins. So, so far the only service they offer is to encash crypto in that post office right? How much fee do they take for the transaction?

I suppose if this is successful they can also add a service to allow people to pay bills there too if they happen to be nearby (though this being Europe I'm assuming auto-debit is the norm).

We already have first, very positive review about this service from Croatian user.
Is there anyone from abroad who has tried this new Croatian post office service?
If so, please let us know.

Pozdrav,

That is great to know that. I am sure that soon, cryptocurrency will be spread in that country and will grow. People will curious about that, and they will ask with the post officer about cryptocurrency, and I am sure that they will try to have cryptocurrency. When the news spread in more places, more people will interested, and they will try to learn more about cryptocurrency. That will help cryptocurrency indirectly, and maybe there will be a course to learn cryptocurrency.

As I say before some other countries also have similar service which includes national post offices, and they not provide such service because they love crypto, but because of profit for them and for state. Every time you sell crypto in post office with your ID be sure that you will pay not only fee for that service, but also tax to the state - and I bet this is not simple procedure for domestic and for foreigners who will use this service.

I think providers of such services should warn their users on the obligation to pay taxes on cryptocurrency trading. It would be ideal if the tax is automatically calculated and charged in post office, but then it would not be tempting to sell crypto for some 20%+ in total fee.

Wow! This is one very nice news. And to think that this initiative come from a government office. I assume your post office is directly under the government. Here in my country, people can also exchange using the handful of Bitcoin ATMs scattered around. But these are private efforts. The government has not initiated such similar moves in your country. Croatia is definitely ahead of us.
