Merry Christmas, Europe! More European bitcoin-accepting merchants were added to @BTC Map this year than in any previous year. I hope the next time I visit, I won't have to fuck with euros at all.

Pretty fun to watch the number of merchants on BTC Map explode over the past couple of years. I'll try to have an animated version of this dashboard ready to post by tomorrow. 🍻

I'm gonna add a bunch of other state's minimum wages to this site: CA (already added), TX, FL, NY, OH, MA, PA. That should cover all of the major ones.
