Bitcoin is a digital currency that has gained so much attention in the last few years, it is no longer news that a lot of people in countries and cities are embracing bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as the day go by, but what may be news is what city or country is bitcoin accepted the most. As obtained from FORBES website, a research was carried out recently to determine the cities with most Bitcoin-Accepting Vendors in the world. From the research, the top 10 cities is as listed below:

CITIES (COUNTRIES) NUMBER OF CRYPTOCURRENCY-ACCEPTING BUSINESSES
1. PRAGUE (CZECH REPUBLIC) 147

2. BUENOS AIRES (ARGENTINA) 141

3. SAN FRANCISCO (UNITED STATES) 117

4. MADRID (SPAIN) 101

5. NEW YORK CITY (UNITED STATES) 101

6. AMSTERDAM (THE NETHERLANDS) 88

7. BOGOTA (COLOMBIA) 87

8. VANCOUVER (CANADA) 86

9. LONDON (THE UNITED KINGDOM) 85

10. PARIS (FRANCE) 82

It should be noted that in order to find Bitcoin hotspots around the world, the research used Coinmap on July 24, 2018. The number of BTC-vendors listed in a city was recorded and did not include corresponding suburbs. It is worthwhile to also state that CoinMap relies on crowdsourcing to list all BTC-accepting vendors. For more information, see link below:

Anyone surprised about any of the cities? I am particularly surprised about Madrid being among the top cities, before now, I had always thought that Spain as a whole is not a place for Cryptocurrency.
