PayBitoPro Chief, keynote speaker, and noted blockchain pioneer Raj Chowdhury is optimistic about Portugal’s existing crypto stance. The ruling government’s stance and consideration of crypto being a non-taxable asset have already generated a noticeable global buzz, particularly across the crypto communities.
The rising global crypto awareness and adoption has spread well across Europe. Nations like Switzerland and Sweden are extremely crypto-supportive. Current roadmaps indicate that the Iberian nation is well underway.
Chowdhury states, ‘Portugal’s zero-taxation policy is drawing crypto entrepreneurs as well as enterprises. The nation embraces the rising global crypto craze and will incorporate its features for the welfare of its citizens.”
In a bid to boost development, the European country has constructed multiple “free zones” for technology including blockchain and crypto. Portuguese citizens can use BTC for electricity bill payments along with other options. They are not considered as legal tender as of yet- a position that the nation’s blockchain association believes will change soon. The Portuguese Blockchain Association is in favor of regulation, but not at the cost of crippling technological progress.
“Opportunities galore for businesses surrounding crypto and blockchain. The nation’s positive stance will stand the test of time contributing to its progress as well as the worldwide market,” added Chowdhury.
