The data they collected seems like a joke, how can El Salvador and Central African Republic who accept Bitcoin as a legal tender aren't a crypto friendly lol. The fact they're encourage more Bitcoin adoption since their government already suggest people to use Bitcoin and their wallet, also all businessman already accept Bitcoin as an alternative payment. If those both countries aren't friendly to crypto, there's no way in the hell they will accept as legal tender.

United States is about 467 times bigger than El Salvador which implies no matter how strict the regulations in the united states becomes on Bitcoin and other crypto currencies it is impossible for El Salvador to overtake them in Bitcoin trading volume despite their adoption and hodlings, El Salvador is the smallest country in Central America and is smaller than the state of Massachusetts. They can't even top the chat of crypto-friendly countries For CAR they are among the poorest countries in Africa and obviously can't fit in the list

The power of USA is unmatchable.
There is no end to it. People love going to states. It's their dream to go to the America and live there. They have been able to make an impact on the world that is mesmerizing - there is something really kool about USA

The presence of cryptocurrencies is a good solution for global and financial transaction systems, we are not worried to store assets and transactions because blockchain technology is fast and safe, especially to send bitcoin with large amounts now the transaction fee is no more than $ 3, even cheaper than If we send Ethereum or other Altcoins.

That is something we would definitely care about because having cheaper transactions, but that is not the topic here. The topic here is a horrible list that is a purely fake one that shows which nations are the most crypto friendly ones.

The list is a fake horrible one because the only nation, the first nation that turned bitcoin from a cryptocurrency into a legal tender is not even on the list of "most crypto friendly nations" and just that alone shows how wrong the list is. I am not saying that some of them do not deserve to be there, but nations like Brazil, Turkey, India, and most importantly El Salvador should be there based on how friendly they are.

Ever heard of Liberland? They are a very small nation just between Croatia and Serbia?
The fact that their official currency is bitcoin is what blew my mind, also Puerto Rico. I learnt recently they support using bitcoin to purchase assets like a fully furnished home. Can you believe that?

My problem with this countries is that, they are only bitcoin friendly, in other words they are only aware of the currency but the uses of the currency is still very low. I do not think people are using bitcoin to buy what they want. That is, the uses of bitcoin is still limited in the countries the OP listed above. No country in the world has used bitcoin maximum to the core but only few users and even these few users can not use btc to buy the daily purchase stuff in their localities. Mostly food items and clothing items. Or use it to pay transport to whenever you go out from your house.

In El Salvador in particular, the country encouraged the use of bitcoin by launching a bitcoin wallet application, and everyone who downloaded the application received a $30 reward. In one study comparing the number of residents who downloaded the wallet and did not continue using it after receiving the reward, and those who continued to use the wallet, the difference was too large to say that El Salvador is a crypto-friendly country in the practical sense.
I do not have accurate information, but I do not expect the situation to be any better in the Central African Republic .

They decided to take a strange path. They accepted bitcoin as a means of payment, but launched the state-owned shitcoin, Sango Coin. Reminds me of Venezuela with their Petro. Such countries will not have a particularly strong influence on the bitcoin exosystem, well, except for additional speculation, and the adoption itself promotes this much less. In my opinion, 10,000 new ATMs somewhere in America or Europe, for adoption, will have a greater effect than the recognition of bitcoin as a means of payment in 5 other countries such as the Central African Republic.

The most noticeable thing in the matter of adoption is that the countries that announce adoption are a country that is very close to collapse with an economy damaged by the failed policies of successive governments. The adoption of Bitcoin is like a dance of a slaughtered rooster as a last attempt to contain the bad situation and avoid the people's reaction. Despite this, these countries do not allow the use of Bitcoin outside the scope of financial supervision, while the philosophy on which Bitcoin is based is to free people financially from the power of banks and governments.

My country in not a crypto friendly - and they there is only 3% of total population who is aware of crypto.

They are also the first ones to realize that there are a lot of money going inside crypto world since they are big nations.
I mean USA can't just say "we ignore all people who go into crypto", that would be tens of billions of dollars going out of circulation and going into crypto and if they do not make any money from it, then it will create a lot of trouble for them as well.

Best thing to do would be making sure that they tax it and follow it carefully, and IRS getting their money. If they do that (which they are doing now) that would allow the nation to not have any loss in tax income, and since they are filled with people who are super rich, it makes sense to tax them for another thing.

My feeling is that Portugal is probably one of the most crypto-friendly countries in the world. And the Portuguese Tax Authority (PTA) does not consider capital gains generated from the sale of cryptocurrencies to be taxable

Now try to check in several other countries apart from Portugal. I'm sure there are other countries that are crypto friendly and don't tax the sale of cryptocurrencies. Because the rules regarding taxation are definitely different in every country that has not adopted Bitcoin like El Salvador and the Central African Republic, because that is something that is already different from what happened in Portugal.

Although the tax implementation of the Portuguese may affect sellers at some point when they are selling at a lost price but it somehow encourages long-term holding.
Having said that, I believe Portugal should remove from the list of crypto-friendly economy countries list because they recently banned crypto-related exchange within their country due to the fear of illicit transactions in crypto.

Really not much of a surprise looking at this list of leading countries, which also happen to be on the leader board for most progressive nations on the planet (which is a good thing!).. kind of surprised to see the US loose it’s lead, as I don’t feel like I hear much about state regulations differing from state to state here, but perhaps I need to do a little more digging when it comes to educating myself about that.

That is why El Salvador will not be in such ratings, because all of its adoption is only on paper, but in reality no one needs it. The Salvadorans do not see any practical benefit from this adoption.

Yeah its pretty much nothing more than a president that is keep on hyping this all over the twitter but its a start, a small start towards the global adoption whatsoever that they dreamed of but its just a bad one in reality because their country is literally not prepared for it. Anyway, imagine Germany suddenly announced that they are accepting bitcoin / crypto as one of its legal tender then it will be completely a different story compared to what El Salvador did.

I sincerely don’t understand why El Salvador should be added to the Most crypto-friendly economies ranking? Or maybe the Central African Republic? In El Salvador, almost no one is interested in bitcoin. Its real use comes down to admiration on the internet, in style: look how great it is that El Salvador has adopted bitcoin as a means of payment. And what is the result? What as a practical application?

I agree with you very well regarding the above two examples. Legalizing Bitcoin as a recognized payment method does not mean that this has a direct consequence in reality. Originally, these are poor countries and the rate of schooling is very low, so how do you expect the general public to use advanced technology?
In El Salvador in particular, the country encouraged the use of bitcoin by launching a bitcoin wallet application, and everyone who downloaded the application received a $30 reward. In one study comparing the number of residents who downloaded the wallet and did not continue using it after receiving the reward, and those who continued to use the wallet, the difference was too large to say that El Salvador is a crypto-friendly country in the practical sense.

Coincub collected diverse statistical information about many countries, but something was not indicated in their report.

This rating is complex, and not only based on taxation. These ratings are based on such factors as the volume of trade and mining, the development of the legislative framework, institutions, the financial sector and central banks in the country.

To rank it with economical power and governmental prowess doesn't really make sense to me. I mean think about it, we are not seeing El Saldavor, the nation that made it a legal tender. I am not saying that you should ignore all the names there, some nations there are definitely good and there is no denying that. But at the same time, we should realize that many names are missing as well.

Nobody says that these names are bad, these names are good of course but at the very least we should know how it could miss some of the most important ones. India, El Salvador, Turkey, Nigeria all these are greatly friendly but not huge economically hence why they were left out.

We can understand the reasoning of this list if we read the explanation of why such rating.
This is not only about taxation but as we can see, they have several factors that they rated.
But I noticed, in the list, we can see that these countries are countries that have good economies.
Which translates that progressive countries are more open with crypto market.

My question is the same as yours: why can't El Salvador be among the top 10? El Salvador ranks 35th below Russia, which has just re-enacted a ban on the use of cryptocurrencies in payments. Looking at the chart above, it seems that they are only focusing on developing countries and countries with large economies. I do not trust the reliability of this ranking.

In my opinion Australia is the most friendly country with Cryptocurrencies, as evidenced by many big projects from Doge until now from Australia, maybe the market capitalization is still under other countries but Crypto users in Australia continue to increase.

How come when Australia is only ranked as top 4 according on the op's list? Although if we look on the detailed stats. The first few countries in the list had some smaller score (value's) as when compared to Australia but some numbers on Australia are also lower than the others. I think that can make sense on why Australia can't be on the top or first in the list. And so what if there are a lot of doge coin projects from this country?

I think that is not so proudful as we know dogecoin is being hated by the many but id be more happier to know that fact if the coin that we are talking about are bitcoin, ethereum or even other top coins as long as it's not a meme coin.

At the moment, the top 10 most crypto-friendly countries:

Germany
USA
Singapore
Australia
Switzerland
France
Netherlands
Portugal
Canada
Hong Kong

According to the report, America lost its lead in the second quarter of 2022 for the following reasons:

Quote

Holding the USA back was a somewhat ‘state-by-state’ approach to legislation and regulation, with a largely uncoordinated anti-money laundering strategy. This looks to be changing and the Biden measures, if fully implemented, will provide wider safeguards to restrict and prevent fraud

The source has zero to low data in Latin America, Africa, many parts of eastern Europe, and most of Asia though. So it's more like a ranking of the most crypto-friendly countries in the west and some few countries on other continents. And who will miss El Salvador and the Central African Republic? These two countries would probably top in a world ranking considering both countries already recognized bitcoin as a currency.

That is mainly because they do not think those nations to be big enough to be even mentioned. Source is giving out names that would be big names, if you look at it then you will realize that there is no El Salvador, the one nation that made bitcoin a legal tender and you think that doesn't make it crypto-friendly? Of course, it does but they left them out. Which shows you that the list is wrong from the start, just even with that fact.

But, if we are talking about something bigger than it means that we will not be making any kind of decisions based on anything on this source anyway, it will not be like "oh let’s take a look at this list and move there because it's crypto friendly".

Another thing people are well educated to understand the reality of cryptocurrencies than just falling for scams.

We already established that this list is not a correct one. Sure it poses as one but we all know that it is not and there must be some data missing. However, that doesn't change the fact that we just named maybe like 20 nations on a top 10 list for which to be better served there. This shows that we are not going to end up with something short, its going to be quite powerful for the crypto world. If we have this many nations trying to be at the top, that means bitcoin adoption and crypto-friendly nation counts are going up. This in return means that crypto will be doing a lot better for the near future, and probably long future if nothing changes.

As far as I understand, this rating does not speak about "the depth of penetration of cryptocurrency as a means of payment in a particular country", but is a kind of integral indicator, not "depth" but "width" of acceptance of blockchain technology as such, including cryptocurrencies, more precisely, their freedom of circulation. But first of all, this rating is still about the laws governing the work with this technology, about maintaining law and order when using cryptocurrencies as an asset acceptable for market relations, about wide support in various areas of life and the economy. Here it is impossible to “one-sidedly” evaluate “whether crypto is accepted or not” at the supermarket checkout, this cannot be a real and qualitative indicator of the overall picture of the country’s acceptance of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies.

It is both nice and disappointing to see that Nigeria is on the list at number 39, the second African country after South Africa. I feel we could have been higher up in the list with our very high crypto involvement had our government not made the environment less friendly with unnecessary regulations and sanctions threatened for those involved in crypto. Not for so long though, i believe that in a couple years, a new government must have take power and hopefully a better favourably crypto environment will flourish, Nigeria should be amongst the first twenty.

Me too I felt a bit disappointed also to find out that Nigeria was not among the top 10 on the list. The reason you gave is correct. Anti crypto activities of the prevent Nigeria government is a minus to us crypto lovers in the country. We have the trading volume and can be rated high on that but the friendly aspect if government to cryptos is what has dealt with us.

I have checked the whole list and understood that I could only recognise two African countries in the list of 56 countries. You don't have to blame your leaders or anyone. There are no strick rules or regulations about crypto in African countries than as it is in some states in US. What happens is that the media is always biased when it comes to Africa. They would always want to position African and her countries to always remain the minority, uneducated and uncivilised as it is seen and thought by the highly controlled media.

This is not entirely true.

Quote from: https://cointaxlist.com/blog/how-does-germany-taxes-crypto-is-it-really-tax-free

At a personal level, profits regarding cryptocurrencies are tax-free if the total profit generated from private sales transactions in the calendar year was less than 600 Euros and sales of cryptocurrencies held over a year are tax exempt in Germany.

It will be beneficial to know how many peoples are using crypto from every country. This will show us the percentage of adoption in that respective country. I know some county where crypto is not officially legal but many people are using it. I know there is some data in the internet that shows India has the largest users in the crypto world but it looks totally incorrect to me.

It could be but it is kinda impossible to get the number because we all know that they use crypto because they want to create transactions without others knowing it. And maybe because their country might have the highest crypto users but does their country already accepted it? In my country many people used crypto in different ways but it is not legal in here and even not legal they are afraid to do more transactions because our government will jail them by not paying taxes.

I don't know this website, so my trust to the report is quite low. Germany allowed Bitcoin investments, okay. Is it enough to become #1? And US, where due to the sell tax you're basically expected to pay taxes each time you sell BTC for fiat, no matter how low the sum, is #2? Ukraine is very low, even though it's a very crypto-friendly country where many use cryptos for all sorts of purposes, taxation isn't enforced because cryptos aren't fully regulated, and where even the government on the highest levels is accepting crypto donations. And then there's El Salvador, obviously the most crypto-friendly country in the world because Bitcoin is legal tender there and the state is very pro-Bitcoin, and yet it's #35.

I know some county where crypto is not officially legal but many people are using it.As a newbie, I still recommend buying bitcoin as the best option. If you really want to make money long term in the market, don't look at the price in the short term. The price of bitcoin has increased many times since 2013 and many people think that bitcoin will not be able to rise anymore and is no longer as profitable as altcoins. This is a common mistake.

I don't believe this list to be fair. It's basically a list of first world nations and all that, always rich nations.
If you look at other nations, specially lower level nations then you are going to find places that are more crypto-friendly. First of all, El Salvador literally has it as legal tender and it's not in the top 10? No other place has it as legal tender, they are by far the best one and should be at the very top.

You can calculate it however you want, you can put any type of metric or data you want, legal tender beats all of that and it makes El Salvador the biggest one. I don't care what people are saying, I just think that this list is very very wrong.

The richest nations will always be the best nations for private enterprise, but I'd agree that the list seems skewed towards wealthy nations.

These nations are also the countries that are restricting crypto growth through high taxes and stringent regulations. Hong Kong is under Chinese control, probably won't stay crypto friendly for long. The U.S. is looking to add regulations to their crypto market, they won't stay on top for long either.

Of course, as crypto continues to grow and gain mainstream acceptance, as well as meet increasingly interested governments and regulatory frameworks, this list may change as there are still many crypto-friendly countries.
and this is a list of countries that invest the most in or use bitcoin or crypto at the moment, such as the United States which ranks second not to have the most bitcoin or crypto. however they have the most ATMs installed because so many people want to join bitcoin or crypto and because of that, the IRS can raise a lot of money by tracking down people who don't pay their taxes.

The more developed the countries are the more adaptable they are towards the change, benefiting people.
Our country is not crypto friendly and that is one of the reason we are still a developed country.And there is no chance of being a crypto friendly country anytime sooner.

El salvador didn't make the cut despite them structuring a high percentage of their future economic plans around BTC.

United states is #2? Big surprise.

The philippines, nigeria and other emerging nations who do not tax crypto under capital gains are not listed as high as they should be. Disappointing.

Hong kong made the top 10, when it may soon be integrated into china who outright banned crypto.

Australia, canada and france in the top 10. I think canada outright banned purchase of crypto in the country. Australia and france may not be far behind with their AML regulation.

Interesting list to say the least.

I hope no one follows this list if they plan to move to a foreign country.

Not for so long though, i believe that in a couple years, a new government must have take power and hopefully a better favourably crypto environment will flourish, Nigeria should be amongst the first twenty.

Me too I felt a bit disappointed also to find out that Nigeria was not among the top 10 on the list. The reason you gave is correct. Anti crypto activities of the prevent Nigeria government are a minus to us crypto lovers in the country. We have the trading volume and can be rated high on that but the friendly aspect of the government to cryptos is what has dealt with us.

Yes, Nigeria is emerging and developing when it comes to crypto adaption so I believe that they deserve a higher spot despite the negative aspects that are pulling it down. Nigeria is actually more advanced and even has a higher number of traders compared to other Asian countries. Their involvement in crypto investment has a huge percentage compared to others.

That is one of the reasons they are developed countries they accept changes and they make new moves as per the change.
The country I live is not very adaptive of the change. And that is why people are frustrated and try to move to the countries as mentioned in OP

They should have perhaps included another variable in their study.

It is their right to decide with which methodology they will conduct the research, as well as in which countries they will conduct it, so it is possible that some countries will not be on the list at all because they have no data for them.

Quote from: OROBTC on July 18, 2022, 01:12:47 PM

I have bought at BTCATMs in parts of Europe. Switzerland and Austria have very friendly BTCATMs, in that there is no KYC for smaller amounts (250 euro for Austria, IIRC), and there are lots of the machines in those two countries. I have not been to Poland, but coinatmradar.com shows a lot of machines there as well.

This is just proof that countries within the EU implement laws differently when it comes to KYC and AMLD. It is obvious that the degree of development of society and corruption and crime rates play a role in such decisions.

Quote from: OROBTC on July 18, 2022, 01:12:47 PM

Germany, on the other hand, has a very low number of BTCATMs. The UK used to have a lot, but their regulations have strangled that.

And this is a country where you pay 0% tax if you sell crypto 1 year after purchase, so it would be logical that people are more interested in such an investment. The UK is an indicator that everything can change literally overnight, and this can happen in any country when the authorities change the rules of the game.

There is no data for my country at all, although in any case it could be considered quite crypto-friendly considering the number of physical crypto exchanges without KYC for amounts up to even 2000 EUR per transaction, 0% tax if you sell crypto 2 years after purchase and the fact that you can buy almost anything you can imagine with Bitcoin (online).

Because when you do a ranking you don't just laser eyes, bukele buy the dip and that's all, you need the complete environment for it.
If Salvador was so bitcoin-friendly and much more than any other country, can you please let us know what major companies have moved from Europe and US to Salvador in order to take advantage of this friendliness?
Since the answer is, none, you have your own answer there as well.

Anyhow, now that Adolf Putler has signed the ban on crypto as payments for goods and services, does it mean we have a new number 56, instead of 17?

The countries on a top list are very friendly since many establishments acknowledge Cryptocurrency and in El Salvador, they are just starting with this one. My country is not on the list as well but I can tell that we are also a crypto friendly, its just that many people are still hesitant to adopt.

I'm also surprised that Japan isn't on the list even though they are one of the most advance country in terms of technology. But I think criteria for choosing crypto-friendly economy on OP is for countries where their government acknowledge the use crypto as a form currency or investment and people there are more educated about it. Even if the country that we live is not on the list, the OP is already a good start that other countries will adopt cryptocurrencies soon.

South Korea too, but it's good that at least two Southeast Asian country made it to the list as they are trying to become a hub at least in the region.

As for Germany, no surprise, since 2017- there have been an explosion, online merchants accepting crypto, Bitcoin ATM numbers multiplying and others. Portugal and France though, I haven't heard any news coming from them as far as being crypto friendlies, but I might be wrong.

In the terms of this statistics, i can agree with you that the Nigerian government stance on crypto is probably the reason why Nigeria is rank far behind in the position of 39th.
But if we should speak in terms of reality, i did tell you that Nigerian government banning crypto transactions in Nigeria was a blessing in disguise for crypto adoption in the country, a lot of people didn't know what crypto was until the ban, the ban was indirectly a form of marketing for crypto, i am tell you this from my experience, i currently have some new crypto buddies who said, they never knew what Bitcoin or crypto was, though they have been hearing the name, they said they decided to really know what crypto was after the ban was announce, and today, they are almost pro crypto traders and investors.

Their efforts should be appreciated and other developed countries should take the necessary steps to follow Germany's footprint toward a cashless society. Inflation destroying our economy and the inequality between rich and poor becoming more noticeable. The sovereignty of the USD as world one of the leading currencies for international trade should be demolished because of the misuse of the USA money printing machine.

In overall it has high regulation and proliferation score, well financial services is obviously at the highest point.
Türkiye in number 37, could be worse. There is no regulation yet but some bans on services. Still it has a big market and two giant trading companies, high public interest. That probably give more points. It may look different from the outside, I thought it was worse as I live there. I wouldn't call this government crypto-friendly at all though.
