Why Bitcoin Adoption in Europe is Different


Listen Later

Felix Billert from Wave.Space stopped by for an insightful conversation about Bitcoin adoption in Europe, covering culture, regulation, and investment trends. Here’s what we discussed:

  • Why European leaders fear Bitcoin — fear and apprehension are rooted in Europe's culture and historical conflicts. Could political instability return if the European Union weakens?
  • German Bitcoiners and risk aversion — many Germans spend years studying Bitcoin before making their first purchase, reflecting a deep-seated caution.
  • Challenges for international investors in Europe — complex regulations make it hard to invest across borders, but a growing movement is working to simplify and streamline the process.


If you're interested in Bitcoin in Europe, regulations, or the future of Bitcoin adoption, you’ll want to hear Felix’s perspective.
