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.
