Topic: Bitcoin as primary currency in Norway - page 3. (Read 2107 times)
I think it's really nice that countries start using bitcoin and realizing the huge potential it has!
City Liberstad in norway has decided to use bitcoin as primary currency.They have said they would accept bitcoin for land sold in presale.They have even planned to give discounts to customers who pay in bitcoins for their services.It seems bitcoin moving towards its golden era of recognition.
It's very good news but I would like to hear more details about it.
For example, we know that each city in Norway have to follow laws in Norway.
We know that bitcoin is not official currency in Norway.
So, they can only use bitcoin as alternative way of payment, not official money, and on the end of day they will have to convert all bitcoin funds to local currency, and deposit to bank account.
I don't think that without new law any bank can legally accept bitcoin as official money.
Can you share more about this, please?
How they will solve all this legal issues?
One city in Norway is nothing, only if Norway as state will declare Bitcoin as primary currency, it is then important news. One city can declare, what they want, it is nothing in fact. And more possible Bitcoin will not be implemented in Norway or in any other country, because many people use simple paper cash.
@Red Fish, the journey of 1,000 miles, start by a one step.
This is just the begining. It doen'nt matter if, this recognition is from a fraction city in Norway.
What's matter is that bitcoin is gradually gaining momentum
Thanks

That's really an interesting and refreshing news for bitcoin users. We might see a great adoption within the year if these kinds of things happen more often. Though, it's kind of hard to imagine if people do use it now as there is still a lot of issues surrounding bitcoins right now with the BU and segwit war that is happening.
Just one land developer looking for free PR. But there 2 good reasons not to buy anything in Norway. First one is that it's an awfully cold place. To Americans, Norway is North of Quebec. My last time there was in Mid-April, and there was snow nearly everywhere. Second, Norway is a fascist country. It's impossible to live there without the government watching and controlling your every moves. Don't even think of doing anything anonymously in Norway. Credit cards are everywhere, and taxes are among the highest in the world. BTC wasn't invented to be successful in countries like Norway. BTC was invented to destroy countries like Norway.
I thought it was a private city in Norway for Libertarians and not governed by the Norwegian government? I hope they can handle the "waiting"
periods for transaction confirmation with all the shit surrounding Bitcoin and scaling at the moment. I also saw something about this at

This is great news to hear buddy. Till now we heard the companies and individual persons who are top in the economy only started accepting bitcoins but this is good initialization one country and government. I think we can expect the price bump again due to this adoption from Norway government.
Without solving the block size problem is possible? 
What is the problem here? Bitcoin is still very much usable and solid cryptocurrency. This project is accepting bitcoin as payment for for land sold through the presale.You don't have to 10 minutes confirmation time when you want to buy land worth more than couple thousand dollars.

A little piece of Freedom with Bitcoin.

I find this comment to be example of biased perception. What is the problem here? Suddenly bitcoin is not good just because there is scaling war?
Bitcoin is still very much usable and solid cryptocurrency. Probably the best if you want to use it as payment method for luxury goods.
This project is accepting bitcoin as payment for for land sold through the presale, not groceries in local convenience store.
You don't have to 10 minutes confirmation time when you want to buy land worth more than couple thousand dollars. It will be totally fine.

first of all, what problem? lol
you mean the spam attack that has been ended for a while? or the fact that fees went up?
second of all if we assume there is a problem with "block size" it doesn't matter when you buy land. you pay $1 fee for a $50,000 (or whatever the cost is in USD) transaction for example. do you see a problem here?
