Really a good news for the cryptocurrency users of Croatia. Following the same maybe more countries will analyze the need for such services. At the initial stage making it reach the common people partnering with the leading cryptocurrency exchange of Croatia is the right way of service implementation. I would like to know about the stand of Croatian Government on bitcoin usage,from the service provided through post office it seems Croatian government is crypto friendly. Is there legal support from government for Cryptocurrency usage.

I don't know about Croatian government but Croatian tax office recently shared their official opinion how to report and pay taxes on crypto earnings.
Also, we already have legally registered company for crypto exchange, a few Bitcoin ATM etc.
So, yes, it seems that Croatian government is crypto friendly. 😀

I would not refuse to exchange my cryptocurrency to Fiat directly in the post office, very convenient

Nice,
but why in earth are they using XRP ? Roll Eyes

Could be in partnership because you know, RippleLabs is a company so..

Anyway, this is good, though with that kind of premium I don't think a lot of people would be willing to use the service. This is a one step closer towards the big boom in crypto but I think it's best if exchanges are held by private entities and not government entities. I might just be paranoid but seriously, it's a nice strategy to get/snoop into people's crypto profiles/spendings and keep tabs on them and make sure that they are still spied on.

This is good but I'd like my DEX/private exchanges more.

Right now I could just find out that they offering this exchange service in partnership with "Bitcoin mjenjacnica " first officially registered btc exchange in Croatia.
It seems they created special application for the postal service.
I contacted Croatian postal service and asked more info.
When they answer I will post it here.
Don't forget that this is pilot project and available only in one city in Croatia. I believe that soon this service will be available in whole Croatia.
I think they chose Zadar as first city to accept crypto because it's tourist city with a lot tourists from all the world.

Wow! I envy you. I hope they also have it here in the country where I work right now since my salary goes directly to postoffice bank and I have to come every time to withdraw. This would be a great opportunity for me to set aside some amount every month and buy crypto. I could also set side by myself but it would be better if I have to leave the money in my postoffice bank account so I will not be tempted to spend it if ever.

This is a great news to everyone in the crypto world. Governments are starting to see the good in crypto and all indications favor btc adoption soon. Indeed, great times are ahead

That's cool. Good for you. It's good that they in addition to bitcoin accept as many as 4 other crypto. I think it's a really big achievement. In this way, other States will follow suit.

That's a good move for a state owned postal office accepting the use of Bitcoin for payment. Even though its not a full complete exchange, its still make more publication to the global community. We are going towards the global adoption and when it happen, things will change around us ppssitivel.

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

So, you could now send a letter with some satoshis? Or do you mean a full exchange like the online exchanges? Its good to see adoption. I'd like clarification, Is this (postal) service private or state owned?

No, we can't send a letter and pay with bitcoin but we can exchange bitcoin to local currency.
This is state owned postal service.

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.
