Fortunately there are some countries which have made the effort in encouraging their citizens to use bitcoin.
In one of my previous articles I mentioned Japan and South Korea.
Here I am going to mention the rest and in another article I will write about the problematic ones too.
The Netherlands:
The more and more I read about this country I am amazed of acceptance of bitcoin in their society.
Bitcoin has expended so much that any citizen can use it to pay everyday chores and there are lots of meeting groups regarding cryptocurrency through out the country.
As you might know the company “Bitpay” has a very big office in Amsterdam about three years ago and now is dealing with 20,000 European merchants.
I read an article about the city of Arnhem which is also known as “Bitcoin City” which has a large number of their citizens paying in bitcoin and where there are more interested people in cryptocurrency usage.
Spain (Madrid):
Madrid has a largest bitcoin street in Europe which is called “Bitcoin Street” and is like Oxford street in London where the majority of shops, stores, restaurants and the rest of commercials accept bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency.
At the same time Spain is one of the countries with large number of ATM's (in major cities) in the world.
Also the major banks in this country use a service which is called “Hal-Cash” where you can sell your bitcoin and you can get your money from most ATM's. You can find this service in www.coinbase.com if you are interested.

Sweden:
Since the end of 2014, Sweden has found itself with nearly a 0% of interests in saving accounts and more over that people have to pay for their credit cards and account maintenance.
This is more or less like Japan’s situation and overall with low interest rates in Europe at the present time there are lots of Europeans which are turning to other means of saving and this is the exact case in Sweden.
The number of youngsters has grown considerably and more and more shops and stores are accepting bitcions.
The demand for bitcoin is growing very fast in Swedish stock market in past a few months and Coinbase is one of the most online site which is used in Sweden.
Also Sweden has the first firm "Brave New World Investments" where you can invest in middle east using bitcoin.

Is another country where there is not regulation from central bank over cryptocurrency and that leaves it open for their citizens to decide one way or another.
With high slandered of life and technology which are present in Denmark and opened minded population the cryptocurrency movement has started a few years ago and coinbase has recently indicated an increase in buy and selling bitcoin.
