There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

In February of 2016, Bitt launched a digitized Barbadian dollar on the bitcoin blockchain, backed by the Central Bank of Barbados.

Awesome!
So the Caribbeans are going Bitcoin first!Field experiment! Grin
If this should be successful other small states/regions with shitty currencies might follow after that.

I love Bitcoin
