The city that never sleeps seems to attract everything that is connected to money, beginning and ending at Wall Street, and Bitcoin is not an exception. NYC is the most Bitcoin-friendly city in the United States with 49 merchants and 813 members composing its Bitcoin meetup group.

2. Los Angeles

Hollywood

The famous and very Californian Los Angeles got the second position in this list thanks to its 35 crypto-merchants and a meetup group with 300 members.

3. San Francisco

Located in the state of California, San Francisco – or Frisco, like some people love to call it although we don’t really understand why – has 27 Bitcoin merchants and a meetup group with 150 people. However, if we look at the merchant to population ration, San Francisco is the winner with 30,000 to 1.
