there's a big gathering of bitcoiners in a couple months but the island has been a magnet for bitcoiners for about 3 years at least, i'm there, i moved here with another, i went to a meetup in november and there was 30 people there so i'd guess at least another 300 of us here since lurkers tend to outnumber those who speak
it's a bit of a "bitcoin state project" if you remember or know of the free state project that focused on libertarians converging on new hampshire
the president, Miguel Albaquerque has been part of a campaign to make the island a bitcoin haven and gather bitcoiners here and Andre Loja, the owner of a coworking space near the centre of funchal has also been very active promoting bitcoin to local vendors
I've been once. Camping through the mountains, enjoying the sun above the clouds. The nature is breathtaking there.
How is it with the taxation there, and independence on whatever nonsense the mainland government (Brussels) might come up with?
