Buy a TREZOR! Premier BTC hardware wallet. If you're reading this, you should probably buy one if you don't already have one. You'll thank me later.

What about the FT is reporting that Alderney is formulating plans to become the first international centre for Bitcoin transactions. Alderney's finance minister has had discussions with the Royal Mint on licensing a physical coin, and the Treasury (which oversees the Royal Mint) has invited the Alderney team for talks on how a licensing scheme would work. That good enough for starters?

Population - estimate 1,903
I'll leave it at that.

Imagine if China did that with their population. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) I take it you haven't read the actual article or know much about their business on the islands.

Anyhow illegal business, I know. They want to launder money easily since they would be the centre.

A physical coin? What is that supposed to mean? A physical bitcoin that will be issued from the royal mint? For me thats a step back not something that will push things forward. Apart from being a complete nonsense anyway.

This is pretty wild: "The virtual Bitcoins backing the physical coins would be held in digital storage facilities by Alderney. The Mint would issue the commemorative Bitcoin, paying for the value of the gold content itself." Do you grok-- they are issuing gold coins and backing them with bicoin! Talk about a paradigm change. It sounds like the world is turning upside down. http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/4903fc9a-591f-11e3-a7cb-00144feabdc0.html#axzz2m52fpsUl

If I am not mistaken, China Telecom is completely owned by the Chinese govt.
So indirectly, this can be interpreted as the Chinese government giving some sort of legal recognition to the BTC.

You're right, it is owned by the govt. Meaning that we could possibly see more retailers accept it. Time to buy everything with bitcoin. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

China will always stay loyal to the idea of Bitcoin I can personally guarantee this. The working of Bitcoin matches the Communist ideology.
