Actually all countries with both no regulation and smart regulation are fine for bitcoin business.

The UK Financial Regulator (FCA) recently intoduced such "smart" regulation on Apr 6 - they announced the need to license companies operating in the market of crypto-currency derivatives (futures, options, contracts for difference in value, etc.): https://www.fca.org.uk/news/statements/cryptocurrency-derivatives
UK government really did a great job to provide better ICO experience in the country. That's why many latest UK crypto projects seems really reliable and actual, like LCCX exactly addressing this licensing issue among other common security concerns by insuring clients online funds against hacks and being fully under UK government regulations (FCA) - it is one of its main features, which differentiate it from another exchange ICOs: https://cryptodaily.co.uk/2018/03/london-based-exchange-lccx-welcomes-regulation-fca-urges/
