Is it possible for a fiat currency to backed by Bitcoin?
Very very very possible. I'm not quite sure on the details, but if you listen to Let's Talk Bitcoin episode 99, Adam Back and Austin Hill talk about the sidechain project. One of the points they make is the possibility for Bitcoin backed fiat. Highly recommended. Episode 99. http://letstalkbitcoin.com/episodes/#.U1a5R-ZdUhwThese are all far fetched concepts right now. Sidechains are certainly not far fetched. Fiat backed by Bitcoin could be considered far fetched. But the possibility is becoming a reality. I think you are too optimistic, but we will see.

It's not even far fetched, what the fuuuuuuuuk are you guys talking about. You think a Group of unpaid unbacked individuals can create Bitcoin and all sort of altcoins etc but nobody believes a government can? Haha.. You are all very Close minded for being Bitcoin believers I can tell you that. Any government could basically pick up Bitcoin as it is and hijack the Whole thing. You People understand how little 6 billion USD is when we are talking about nation states currencies? ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Very very very possible. How about Zimbabwe?. They have huge issues with their official currency. I've bought their 1Trillion dollars note as a souvenir.

I think you are too optimistic, but we will see. I'm saying that the sidechain project will in theory create a workable option (a possibility) for a nation state to do so. I'm NOT saying that any state is likely to want to back their currency with Bitcoin. TLDR: It's becoming a possibility, not a probability.

What kind of news is this?? There are no actual recent events or developments occurring - it is just the author's description of bitcoin. I already know what Bitcoin is. And what does this thread have to do with gold?

Title is bullcr@p, Artic is $hit ur a mad bunch, BUT This brings an interesting thought on side chains. Remove bitcoins from the chain, Print notes with a scratch panel for the private key (of the side change).Bitcoin Fondation or DIY Banks of Bitcoin produce or distribute notes to outlets (shops ext.) Anyone with the side change on there client can reintroduce the notes back (from side chain) into Bitcoin.Bitcoin with the characteristics of paper. and Welcome back China ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Edit: On reflection this can already be done now ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) But this could be useful for Fiat to obtain backing from Bitcoin. i.e. $1 is backed by 1 Satoshi, If the Gov needs to print more, they have to buy more BTC If there $$ get blown up they are still worth 1 Satoshi

China is king already, they are already making the move from being an exporter to the USA and EU to being an importer from developing countries. And their New BRICS reserve currency will replace IMF and Worldbank. It's already written and signed. China is nr 1 NeXT year, have no doubt about that.

Thank you for asking. In my own stupidity I thought more People would understand this. Instead of asking though they just dig their head in the sand and bash around. RT is promoting the use of BTC for westerners. They want US and Euro Citizens to know about it so that they can flee into it when the sht hits the fan With Our economy. At the same time though, if US don't leave the door open they gonna have millions of People revolting when they see their USD losing value rapidly.

I do admit, it is curious why RT should promote BTC , am sure there is an angle.
There is so much at play these days that its hard to get the real game plan - see ZH for a few ideas this last week.

Consider the fact that Putin isn't sitting on the RT editorial team advising and checking over ever single story that some young RT journalist puts out there. RT's job is to promote anti-establishment and anti-imperialist ideas amongst the populations of the Western speaking world. Bitcoin has been popularly viewed since almost its inception has been fitting fodder for the, bullets, beans, gold n guns crowd. This throw-away piece of journalism which is merely stating the opinion of some 'expert' (Bitcoin Nutter) changes nothing regarding Russia's attitude towards Bitcoin within it's own financial system.
