Does anyone have any friends in Iceland to introduce bitcoin to? Or know any way to place an ad there?

It seems like the perfect place for wide, even state, adoption of bitcoin.

This is a brilliant idea.  Iceland has taught the world how to respond to the criminal banking cartel and would be a fertile ground to plant the subversive bitcoin seed.  Those people are in a fighting mood.

I think Opera Software is running Green DataCentres on thermal energy in Iceland. Perhaps approaching them? They also have a very popular browser.

Probably a good place to mine bitcoin, cold weather and reputedly cheap electricity.

Iceland "declares" independence huh.   

The author needs a little history lesson on the Icelandic krona.  Or is independent the new politically correct term for bankrupt?

[nazgulnarsil]

countries often declare independence when they are tired of a large fraction of their GDP enriching foreigners.  what do you think the american revolution was about?  freedom?  it was about the bank of england.
