Good I guess but damn them high property taxes among others. If I was moving back to New England it would definitely be New Hampshire.

Are you referring to New Jersey in the United States? Or Jersey, the island in the English Channel that the article is referring to?

Lol, yea, I never heard of this Isle. The English Monarchy is so big that its easy to miss a little tiny island. I think its near England. Hmm, you learn something every day.

LOL, another Bitcoin island! I just heard about St. Kitts and Bali wanting to become Bitcoin islands.

That would be so awesome if there are 3 Bitcoin Islands you can choose from  :)

The tip off could be having the words "Tax haven" and "Jersey" next to each other.  "New Jersey" is anything but a tax haven.   Not to mention the word "island".

 :D

Sounds like a reality show when they say Bitcoin Island. I wonder if Jersey could become the Bitcoin capital of the world?

It's probably already considered the Tax Heaven of the world so I can't see why it wouldn't also become the Bitcoin one. I think many bitcoin businesses will set up camp there eventually. Could become quite thriving.
