Topic: TOP 10 BITCOIN CITIES IN THE WORLD - page 5. (Read 841 times)

I'm surprised Malta isn't one of the cities in this list. Strange!! It is known as Crypto Island and does not have vendors accepting Bitcoin.

But still it is an interesting list.

I didn't expect, I thought US held the # 1 title for this category, it turned out that czech was superior
and oddly enough, why are Asian countries like Japan and China not in this top 10 list? Isn't Satoshi Nakamoto from Japan, and the most miners are from China?

I need to see Africa countries taken part in this race, any Africa country will done!

The number of businesses in a city accepting cryptocurrency isn't what makes it the top 10
The number of users is, by far, more important and show the real picture of the city. If a city has 100 businesses accepting cryptocurrency but nobody is using it then it's worthless. You can have 100 businesses accepting crypto but if only 0.001% of the transactions are paid in crypto then it shows nothing (especially considering most of them are small or very small merchands)

You may be right, but holding crypto conferences may not immediately translate to crypto acceptance and usage, maybe Miami may be in the top 20.

I'm surprised Miami isn't on the list, isn't a giant crypto conference held there pretty much every single year? I guess they need to be pushing it more often when they're there.

Anyone surprised about any of the cities? I am particularly surprised about Madrid being among the top cities, before now, I had always thought that Spain as a whole is not a place for Cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin is a digital currency that has gained so much attention in the last few years, it is no longer news that a lot of people in countries and cities are embracing bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as the day go by, but what may be news is what city or country is bitcoin accepted the most. As obtained from FORBES website, a research was carried out recently to determine the cities with most Bitcoin-Accepting Vendors in the world. From the research, the top 10 cities is as listed below:

    CITIES (COUNTRIES)                             NUMBER OF CRYPTOCURRENCY-ACCEPTING BUSINESSES
1. PRAGUE (CZECH REPUBLIC)                                          147

2. BUENOS AIRES (ARGENTINA)                                        141

3. SAN FRANCISCO (UNITED STATES)                                117

4. MADRID (SPAIN)                                                          101

5. NEW YORK CITY (UNITED STATES)                                101

6. AMSTERDAM (THE NETHERLANDS)                                88

7. BOGOTA (COLOMBIA)                                                   87

8. VANCOUVER (CANADA)                                                86

9. LONDON (THE UNITED KINGDOM)                                85

10. PARIS (FRANCE)                                                        82

It should be noted that in order to find Bitcoin hotspots around the world, the research used Coinmap on July 24, 2018. The number of BTC-vendors listed in a city was recorded and did not include corresponding suburbs. It is worthwhile to also state that CoinMap relies on crowdsourcing to list all BTC-accepting vendors. For more information, see link below:
