Bitcoin it about decentralizing, a central hub is the exact opposite.

Exactly, however, Bitcoin is slowly being led to centralization.
Sooner or later most of the large mining operations will vanish due to the expenses of maintaining the operation.
Only the few that can handle the "heat" will survive, and once everyone else is gone, they will be central authority.

First of all I do not agree that Bitcoin should have a hub.
However, if I was to guess where that hub would be, my bet would be in Amsterdam.

Denmark maybe, or some other place that has no taxes about BTC gains and little regulation

Nice, another Bitcoin hub thread.
Wasn't there one the other day asking if London will be the Bitcoin hub?

Is it really that important that Bitcoin has a hub, therefor a central location?

It is important for bitcoin not to have a central hub actually. It should be as hard as possible and as complicated tas possible to shutdown the network, exchanges and other operations.

None of the major nations are going to support the Bitcoin. So I expect the global bitcoin hub to come somewhere in the smaller nations. It can come up in the semi-independent nations such as Jersey or the Cayman Islands, or it can be in the nominally independent nations such as Dominica and Grenada. Singapore is another attractive destination, but to be honest, it is a long shot.

if bitcoin goes mainstream, it'll really just be the global tech-finance hub.

I hope It'll be in Asia, say Shanghai/Singapore/Tokyo/Seoul, or a combination of those.

Hello everyone, I am "Hobbit" from BitYes, Huobi's BTC-USD exchange. From now on, BitYes will raise a bitcoin related fun topic each week! Please speak out your fun and creative ideas.

Today's topic is Which city do you think can be the global bitcoin hub in the future? Why? Recently, London staked its claim to be the global bitcoin hub. ( http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/04/15/us-currency-bitcoin-london-insight-idUSKBN0N622320150415) Do you think London will surpass San Francisco with web expertise and New York with financial clout to be the foremost fintech center in the world? Or do you think Amsterdam is more likely because there are so many places you can use bitcoin?

Let us know your fun and valuable ideas!

Welcome to visit BitYes!
