Israel
Israel has a deep Bitcoin culture: Tel Aviv's Bitcoin Embassy, founded in 2013, is one of the oldest community hubs of its kind. Bitcoin is legal but not legal tender, and the shekel remains the only official currency. For tax, the Israel Tax Authority treats bitcoin as an asset rather than currency, so individuals generally pay a 25% capital gains tax, plus a surtax for high earners. Regulators have pushed banks to serve bitcoin customers instead of turning them away outright. From Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and Haifa, meetups and bitcoin-accepting merchants keep the community lively.
