    Great list. One to add is El Salvador.

    El Salvador will exempt foreign investors from taxes on profits on bitcoin.

    "If a person has assets in bitcoin and makes high profits, there will be no tax. This (is done) obviously to encourage foreign investment," Javier Argueta, legal adviser to President Nayib Bukele, told AFP.

    "There will be no taxes to pay on either the capital increase or the income."
