The same with my flag – it could be blue today, red tomorrow. Of course, my power is only absolute here, where I am the true sovereign,” he added.
Now Prince Renato Barros dares to talk about the future and says that his good relations with the Brazilian Government could one day open the door of entry to Europe. By the way the island is in the process of being renamed Atlantis after the mythical lost civilization.
Getting a new status of national currency can have a good impact on bitcoin development. There is a possibility to establish a centralised Bitcoin bank and anchor to corporations that can legally represent cryptocurrency fueled companies across the world and cyberspace.
The idea of having a small country with a Bitcoin-based economy is not new. The Isle of Man, a self-governing nation of around 80,000 people, has been attempting to lure Bitcoin-based companies for the past 18 months.
Barros not only contributes to the promotion of bitcoin, but inspires to follow your dreams, no matter how increadible they are. “Our lives are gone in a flash. My son is 27 and if I were his age, I would probably sell the island and buy a Ferrari. But I am 56 years old, and I want to enjoy everything I have. Pontinha means “a point”. All change in the world begins with something very small, and this is my country – just a little point.”
I suggest that Pontinha's flag be a solid orange with a relatively small black point in its middle.
Those who pledge their allegiance to Pontinha would fly its flag at their place of residency or business.
