Title: 2013-04-16 CNN - Zimbabwe To Make Bitcoin National Currency? Unconfirmed. Post by: psybits on April 21, 2013, 12:48:08 AM Zimbabwe to make Bitcoin national currency?
http://feathercoinwiki.aws.af.cm/doku.php I know it is old news but I haven't seen it in the Press thread. If this is true (currently unconfirmed) it is massive news.

Post by: BTCLuke on April 21, 2013, 07:38:50 AM It's just someone trying to influence the current price of BTC when he launched it. His username there was somewhat of a giveaway, but the real reason you know this is total Rhinoshit is simply imagining commoners in Zimbabwe trying to pay for bread with bitcoins... ;)

Unconfirmed. Post by: andicatorx on April 21, 2013, 08:12:52 AM That is a user created content, it's not official. Imagine if bitcoin is a country's national currency at this stage, the price fluctuation of btc will make people think twice before spending their btc. A loaf of bread could cost 0.01btc today 0.003 tomorrow 0.08 another day and so on...

That is still probably more stable than the current Zimbabwean economy :D Throw in the potential upside and adopting Bitcoin could be the smartest thing Mugabe ever did. I wonder who thought of this devious plot to put this on CNN ha ha. |
