Cryptos friendly countries. Part two.

So... I'm back home, from work (not from my dream journey), it's cold and snowy outside.
After the shower, making the next batch of mulled wine, I started to think, about where I can travel. I need to chill, what's a good European country to chill?
...I know...

As I can read, The Netherlands' government is not adding any unnecessarily burdensome regulations against cryptocurrency. Authorities hold a lenient attitude toward crypto, believing that it has the potential to boost the country’s economy, anyway, it's not a surprise that the attitude over there is pretty good, as it is in consideration of little more controversial subjects (if you know, what I'm thinking about).
Due to this behavior, the population uses cryptocurrency quite widely and with confidence.
Undoubtedly, all of these things, make I want to visit this country.

From the Netherlands it's easy to get to the UK (I mean mainly England to be precise).
In this country 4.4% of UK adults (around 2.3 million consumers) hold cryptocurrency.
Although the UK government's attitude isn't as friendly to cryptos as it was in the previous country, it is much more regulated and restricted, I think, it won't be so difficult to find businesses that accept cryptocurrency.
Here there are, quite a lot, for example, I will attach this chart:



And even if I can't pay for goods directly by cryptos at other large UK retailers, I can do it by use of gift cards purchased on one of the cryptocurrency platforms (for example BitPay).

Well, what's next?
A green island from the sign of four leaves clover - Ireland.
I'm pretty sure such a modern country will be familiar with cryptos.
The first thing I will do after arriving in Ireland, I will try a famous Guinness beer at one of the Bitcoin-accepting local bars.
I found some of them.
There won't be a problem with dining, restraints, or take aways, accommodation for crypto is available as well, and I can always use numerous Bitcoin ATMs placed around Ireland.

All this searching for information on the internet, tired me a lot. Although I find it funny and interesting, I got to make a break... but it's not the end of the series, because I got to prepare myself well before the real adventure.
Preparation is very important, shit I regret, I didn't knot that while I was at school, I could get better grades.

Ok, after a short break, I can get back to my research.

From the so-called, Green Island I can catch a flight to Iceland. It's a legend when the crypto business is considered, but it's another island and I'd rather come back to the continent.

Let me think... go to France, I've never been there.

And this time I need to put in an effort, because all I know about this country, comes from adult movies broadcast after midnight on local TV. I'm afraid this knowledge won't be enough... in this case at least.
The things I found are a little disappointing, but let's try.
There is very little crypto accepting local businesses, to be honest, I haven't found any, but there is a way to skip this deficiency
When getting hungry, there is a possibility to order something from a cryptocurrency-accepting portal - Just Eat, it contains about 15000 in France.
Regarding groceries and clothes I'm not able to find much, there is a fine website, but I can buy mostly electronics.
For everyday shopping, I have to use a gift card bought for Bitcoin on the Cryptorefill portal.
<span;>Short stop and Au revoir France.

Spain, the country of the Sun, wine, the Saint Inquisition, corrida, and who knows what else.
How things are regarding cryptos?
Just like in France, a little bit disappointing. Fortunately, I can find some Bitcoins ATMs to draw some cash out... and move forward.

Portugal, at last, I got lucky, a land where cryptocurrencies are treated as legal tender, so the transactions are tax-free.
The Portuguese government allows employers to pay wages with cryptocurrency and makes it easy to buy crypto on a variety of platforms, and only they pay tax for their income.
First of all, I will go to Bam Bam beach to enjoy some drinks at the Bitcoin bar, meeting quite numerous societies of crypto-enthusiasts is an exciting experience.
It's heaven for people like that, as I can find on Reddit, even a random local restaurant accepts Bitcoins.

Staying in a warm and sunny climate I'm heading to Malta.
From the airport, I can take a cab and pay in cryptos for it, got hungry, so I ask the driver to take me to the restaurant.
After that, I will do something for fun and play tennis at Tennisline courts located in a sports center.
Of course, all these facilities accept payment in Bitcoin.
Malta island, thanks to its government's attitude, is a cryptocurrency and blockchain heaven, and many businesses - for example cryptocurrency traders, exchanges etc established their base here.

Ok, that's enough experience till now, I got to come back home and take some other action (than daydreaming).
Anyway, I wonder how things are, regarding cryptos, in my country, Poland.
Well, it's not a cryptos paradise, for sure, the government demands income taxes from companies and private persons as well.
As I remember, in the past many good prospering companies moved abroad (BitBay exchange, Bullion 79 - Gold and Silver seller).
On the other hand, it's not so bad, I still can order something to eat from the web portal Pyszne. pl and pay in Bitcoin, I can find many ATMs or stationary ( or online) cantors to withdraw cash from cryptocurrency (of course there are AML restrictions).
The statement regarding cryptos is like in other not-very crypto-friendly European countries, but things seem to be changing in a better way ( of course we will see if it is).

That's all folks, I'm about to cease this series for further time, despite there are o lot of other lands to mention, till now I'd like to focus on more educative material.
Of course, I'm not a smart-ass (jerk) that I consider myself a teacher, I just hope to find valuable information and describe them in my articles.
