Jurisdiction profiles

No rankings, no "best country for Bitcoin." Each profile shows fit and mismatch for your facts, with a confidence level and a source behind every claim. Anything unconfirmed is marked as an open question, not stated as fact.

The United States and Australia profiles have the strongest Tier-1 sourcing; Panama and El Salvador carry more open questions. The library is educational and is not legal, tax, investment, or financial advice.
