Title: Re: 2013-05-21 RT: Should Palestine switch from the shekel to Bitcoin? Post by: cypherdoc on May 21, 2013, 06:40:50 PM i sat in on the Regulatory panel consisting of Dan Friedman, Micky Malka, Arlene Chan, Lawrence Lenihan, and Patrick Murck.
i was surprised by the unanimity that eventually a nation state will authorize the use of, if not adopt, Bitcoin. Title: Re: 2013-05-21 RT: Should Palestine switch from the shekel to Bitcoin?

As much as I'd love to see this...I'll believe it when I see it. (The adoption part not the use part). Title: Re: 2013-05-21 RT: Should Palestine switch from the shekel to Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is like fire or the wheel; its adoption is inevitable because it's so revolutionary. Governments will embrace Bitcoin, not fight it.

Post by: TraderTimm on May 21, 2013, 08:09:51 PM I've said before that I'm sure I'll witness in my lifetime a sovereign state adopting bitcoin - just don't know exactly when.

It'll be interesting to observe how it affects an entire nation and those tied to it. Too bad it isn't being adopted in a 1st world nation though. That would seriously boost BTC's worth.

also it has some political implications and like satoshi did not want wikileaks working with bitcoin at the beginnings I think it might not be good for bitcoin at this moment. |
