🏙️ Hong Kong’s Bitcoin ATMs Draw Curiosity — Not Crowds
In the heart of Hong Kong’s Central Market, a rare sight still turns heads 👀
☕ Chart Coffee, housed in a 1939 Bauhaus-style building, accepts Bitcoin — even offering 10% off for BTC payments.
Yet reality tells a different story:
Staff say very few customers actually pay with Bitcoin
Most are curious observers, not daily users
Lightning Network payments work smoothly — but adoption remains niche ⚡
📍 Why this matters
Hong Kong hosts 200+ crypto ATMs, far easier access than mainland China
BTC & ETH can also be bought via OTC storefronts, just like FX
Infrastructure exists — usage hasn’t caught up
💡 Big takeaway
Crypto in Hong Kong is available, legal, and visible —
but for now, Bitcoin is more a conversation starter than a payment habit.
🔍 Adoption isn’t about access anymore.
It’s about real-world incentives and daily utility.
