Title: Independant Scotland to adopt Bitcoin!
Post by: bonker on February 16, 2014, 10:40:56 AM
Apart from not giving a fuck either way, I've been pondering the consequences of Scotland leaving the UK and becoming independent.

The UK says that an independent Scotland will not be allowed to use the pound, leaving two choices: the Kraut dominated Euro or make their own currency.

I propose the following solution: Scotland adopts a basket-pegged national currency that includes Bitcoin, gold and a bunch of other stuff!

People will see Scotland as pioneering, confident and innovative rather than a bunch of deep fried chocolate gobbling smackheads.

LOL, as if.

You realize that countries want to control their economy in order to provide safety, nobody wants crypto coins, which are untraceable.

It would create a monopoly of drug/illegal trades.
