constant value relies on having something else to be compared against while floating value can have value independent of other currencies. A constant value coin would always be 1 coin = x USD (or any other currency) while floating value would be 1 coin = 1 coin. Why would any nation want to have their currency be based on someone else's? It essentially just makes their currency the other one but a different name. You don't see current fiat currencies like that, so why would any cryptocurrency that is adopted by a nation be like that?

why? i believe it would be a good idea, people wouldnt be more independent as they wouldnt need banks and the price would be more stable if countries start to accept it

+1 It would go against everything Bitcoin stands for. And the regulation and monitoring would be ridiculous.

The stability of major national currencies is down to their governments constantly tinkering with every aspect of them. There's no way they can control BTC. Just as we see with the Euro, you can't share a currency with wildly varying economies. What's good for one country is a disaster for another.

Voted for "no blockchain will ever support a national currency" Because it's too complex for national usage. Also Any government wants their currency is controlled by worldwide instead of themselves...

We are rich but the economy is small compared to the big ones. Two times has the central bank had to fight of traders who tried to pump our economy. Imagine a country with bitcoin as national economy who would be dependent on the wales behaving nice all the time. Scary tought.

Scary tought. this will be not true if bitcoin reach fully adoption, no whales or group of whales will be able to manipulate it on a long extent, this is why the price is important it cover us from pesky manipulator so bitcoin can become a national currency if a country is in a very bad economic situation and need to start from zero, in this case it's better for it to embrace a good established currency like will be bitcoin and not re-printing of his scam fiat

How would that possibly work? Said country will have to first buy all of this Bitcoin with their worthless fiat. No one's going to accept it and they'd jack up the price anyway until the country had to sell their population to get it. Or they could just start another fiat currency again with a clean slate and full control.

I don't see how could Bitcoin become a national currency... Why would that happen? What are the arguments in favor? Countries should just replace their fiat with a blockchain equivalent...

I guess it could happen if you consider the law of truly large numbers....but I think we have more of a chance of seeing this.

The problem is that no country can buy up bitcoins with their own currency since it would crash and noone would sell them bitcoins. It must be a country like Zimbabve who uses a foreign curency who could do it. Probably would get 10K to 20K bitcoin before they run out of dollars since the bitcoin price would go to the moon when they started to buy.

A premined bitcoin clone would do the trick. Then all the people could convert their fiat to the new crypto.
