Bitcoin for Micronations

[BayAreaCoins]

Black, white, purple and even Mexican... Bitcoin doesn't care if you are king of the world or just a homeless dude in the streets.

Well thank fuck for that, I just discovered that there's a possibility that Barrack Obama is my 17th cousin and was worried it might get out.

*phew*

I've said it several times already. BTC shall remain international, and not be related to any nation.

and now a new micronation called "Liberland" want to use Bitcoin as the official currency for their coutry???

It does seem as a great marketing move which would increase global attention and potentially foster acceptance. So why not.

Because in all honesty it would just be seen as a joke. No one really takes these midget nations seriously (not to mention it's usually in disputed territory between other countries - so these micronations may not even legally exist), it would just bring a bit of attention. In reality, there are many, many better ways for Bitcoin to gain attention and hopefully adoption (i.e. acceptance by a big merchant, integration into everyday commerce).

Most of these so called micronations do not even have a status recognized as sovereign countries much less declared as independent state. And to top it, size of economy is too small and unless you are talking about economic powerhouse , it's not going to make much difference whether bitcoin is the official currency or otherwise.
