Ummmm I don't think the Vatican's goal is monetary freedom and a respect for individual property rights... so politely informing them about Bitcoin may not yield the results you want ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) The Vatican should just form its own blockchain, called PopeCoin. It'll require a cryptographic "proof of prayer" system to validate transactions.

As one of the most important divisions of the criminal vampire squid that has locked down humanity and caused millions upon millions of deaths over the last 2000 years, I don't think the Vatican's suggestion of a global central bank is something humanity should be happy to embrace. This is the hegelian dialectic in action: problem, reaction, solution. The problem is created by global financiers, the public reacts with indignation and unrest, global finance proposes a "solution". Will the people fall for it? On a separate note, for those unfamiliar with how the Vatican murdered native american children in canada, go here: Mass genocide of Mohawk children by UK Queen and Vatican uncovered in Canada

The Vatican is just releasing the plans of the NWO as a "suggestion" to get everyone acclimated to the idea of a global bank. There is no stopping it, it will happen. PS: Will NWO let bitcoin flourish as a currency that gives power to the people? Over their dead bodies. Lets be clear, the Vatican has about as much commitment to faith in God as Al Gore has to saving the earth.

I've heard that the state of Utah and the Mormon church was interested in bitcoins. The state of Utah just passed some legislation to allow gold and silver to be treated as legal currencies. If the Mormon church realizes the power of bitcoins, maybe the Vatican will too.

I don't know of anything more public, global or authoritative as the bitcoin block chain. But then again I understand science and technology, not dogma and mystery.

Very fitting. That scene reminds me of "The Visual Bible" Gospel of John on video. Its a dramatization of Jesus' ministry with Henry Ian Cusick (you may know him as Desmond from Lost ) cast as Jesus. He does a fantastic job. Its a must see.

Since I live in Utah, I'll be excited and the first person to offer up consulting services toward making that happen... but unfortunately, I don't believe this to be the case, or at least am not aware of it.
That said however, anyone in Utah wanting to acquire some Bitcoins in person, I'd be willing to help out. Help could be as simple as acquiring them for a fee, or escrowing a deal and providing secure storage to eliminate the risk of hacking and fraud.
|
Companies claiming they got hacked and lost your coins sounds like fraud so perfect it could be called fashionable. I never believe them. If I ever experience the misfortune of a real intrusion, I declare I have been honest about the way I have managed the keys in Casascius Coins. I maintain no ability to recover or reproduce the keys, not even under limitless duress or total intrusion. Remember that trusting strangers with your coins without any recourse is, as a matter of principle, not a best practice. Don't keep coins online. Use paper or hardware wallets instead.
