What is the safest country to operate an exchange in, where would you rather buy all your BTC from? Tunisia? Singapore? Morocco? Many countries seem to want to regulate BTC so it's hard to follow, which country is the safest currently?

For me, for USD -> BTC the safest exchange is America because I live in America so if there is fraud, me being American and the exchange being American means I have an easier time with legal recourse.

I don't know about the other countries but i don't recommend Morocco because exporting the local Currency 'MAD' is considered a CRIME ,and buying BTC for MAD is technically exporting MAD .

Well, that's the case for any good. If you buy a carpet with MAD, and send it to Europe, you are indirectly exporting MAD. And Morocco is for sure a "protected" economy, but it does export.

But it is true that the BTC exportation can't be controlled/taxed..

Do anyone has or know somebody who got into troubles because of Bitcoin trading in Morocco?
Or have any idea of the Bitcoin status there?

I think the safest countries currently are Germany and Singapore.

i dont agree on germany, since it is in EU, and has milion tax laws .
you should definetly look for something that is not in EU or some big country.
now where do people love to have their money safely hidden ?

I would say that once the NY regulations come into effect NY (in the US) would likely be the safest country for an exchange. The proposed regulations would make it more costly to do business in NY however it would make it safer for consumers and thus the exchange itself.

I believe afghanistan or other similar countries would be the safest place where people don't have any knowledge regarding bitcoin Grin

.Or may be a country where there is least reach of internet and technology

Probably Australia. We dont have mandatory data retention so your data would be safe. But the EU has Bitcoin positive regulation so also there might be a good bet

Australia because;
1. The federal government have declared btc / crypto a legal currency.
2. The Australian Taxation Office treats btc as per fiat.
3. Trust already exists between Australian banks and existing btc exchanges.
4. Melbourne, Australia is already a btc hub for software developers.
5. Australia has a healthy btc economy e.g. you can buy 4wd racing cars right through to a cup of coffee on a smart phone QR reader
6. Cool people reside in Australia, namely me Grin

The country with the most advanced economy and banking system to facilitate transfers from banks....the US

Do you know that many banks in the US do not have SWIFT codes and do not know how to send or receive international wire transfers? I wouldn't call it the most advanced economy and the banking system :-)

I think its a 22 dollar question: you can open an exchange in Zimbabwe for example and nobody would probably bother you there and with the right marketing it can work just fine, but then on the other hand serious customers may consider it unsafe. The more industry develops the more the would be calls for it to be regulated, so customers may start asking exchanges these questions, because it makes them feel more safe.

The UK is as good a place as any in my opinion.

HMRC have legalized BTC and scrapped taxes for business that deal bitcoin to one another too.

Then only charge tax on the BTC you are wanting to withdraw from your business, if you decide to convert to GBP.

I don't know if it is really a country thing. Some people are freaking out because even Bitstamp, which I consider rather trustworthy, is located in eastern Europe and uses single accounts to keep their customers FIAT money. I know there may be complications in case of some freeze but that hasn't happened as of now...

I think the bigger concern for bitstamp is the fact that they are located in a very politically and economically unstable part of the world.
