That is a user created content, it's not official. Imagine if bitcoin is a country's national currency at this stage, the price fluctuation of btc will make people think twice before spending their btc. A loaf of bread could cost 0.01btc today 0.003 tomorrow 0.08 another day and so on...

That is still probably more stable than the current Zimbabwean economy  Cheesy Throw in the potential upside and adopting Bitcoin could be the smartest thing Mugabe ever did. I wonder who thought of this devious plot to put this on CNN ha ha.

It's just someone trying to influence the current price of BTC when he launched it. His username there was somewhat of a giveaway, but the real reason you know this is total Rhinoshit is simply imagining commoners in Zimbabwe trying to pay for bread with bitcoins... Wink

Ha ha ha well never say never - but I'm not sure whether Mugabe adopting BTC as the national currency would be good for Bitcoin or bad for Bitcoin  Grin

I know it is old news but I haven't seen it in the Press thread.

If this is true (currently unconfirmed) it is massive news.
