Depends on the meaning of "reject". Also, I feel like it should be a multiple choice option.

Weren't there some dudes who were going to build a libertarian island off the coast of San Francisco? What ever came of that?

Actually, now that I'm correctly medicated, "Bitcoins in Space" does seem like a great idea... What a fantastic incentive to get people to finally leave this rock and venture out, heh, yeah it'll be just like the wild west all over again!  Maybe like a real life Firefly (and/or its finale movie, "Serenity"), Cowboy Bebop or Outlaw Star.  This is awesome exciting!

I wish I could change my vote.  I originally voted Netherlands, but I would like to officially change it to Bitcoins in Space.

And even though I'm pretty sure "myself" has like thousands more BTC than I do, I'm going to go ahead and donate him 0.25 BTC for that idea because it's been a really rare day for me and I feel like being an idiot right now.

The next economy to utterly fail will be the one that drives people to bitcoin. I don't wish that on anyone (and I'm not one of the doomsayers who thinks it's necessarily going to happen) but that's the truth.

the current uneconomic economy seems designed to fail, like a giant ponzi where everyone loses in the end.

"the end" being dec 21, 2012, the day the world gives the banks their money back.

I forfeited my vote for you, for I may have chosen Netherlands, nonetheless, so it all kinda worked out, sorta.

"China" vs "Republic of China"... IT'S CALLED TAIWAN, SUCKERS. Lol China, they will regulate the shit out of things and remain a decade behind on net stuff, as always. Golden Shield, remember? TOR blockers, remember? Yeah, they will certainly like financial freedom. ::)

I voted South Korea, but I really think the best chances lie with sovereign trading posts. Or maybe finance extremists like Jersey 'n the likes. The banks themselves probably don't have a problem with Bitcoin, they just don't want to get involved in a regulation vs digital freedom war, that's why they keep misbehaving.

How about another option: the free Internet? Location matters little for our kind, as long as it isn't firewalled by government or observed with threat of death penalty. That would probably be my #1 choice, although it jeopardizes the vote.
