Thanks for the support...

Israel has become quite a Bitcoin hub.

I don't know it has to do with being jewish as much as it has to do with the israeli frame of mind. Alot of people here think independently, this is one of the reasons we have such a large startup per capita ratio, and might be the reason we have a huge bitcoin community...

The meetup group here is more then 1 thousand members, and this is for a very small country. We have bi-weekly meetups organized by the israeli bitcoin association, and just last week we had the first miss-bitcoin meetup, that moran from the emBassy organized. For what i know it's one of the first (if not the first) female bitcoin event, There were around 50 attending and media coverage.

We have had 2 israeli mastercoin board meeting in the emBassy.. So yea, we support all crypto-currency projects.

Things are starting to take form, we are not even finished renovating the place so we can have a sort of formal opening, this is our first thread announcement... So i hope you hear of us in the media soon...
