A Bitcoiner chooses. A slave obeys.

The president of Madeira (an autonomous region in Portugal) just announced adopting bitcoin as a legal tender. Some stats about the country:

Quote from: Google

Area: 801 km²
Elevation: 1,862 m
Population: 253,945 (2019)
GDP: ~4.5$ billion

Prospera (An island in Honduras) has also announced the same thing.

Obviously, these two are not as big as El Salvador, but it's still a big step forward. Your thoughts?

The announcements were made at the Bitcoin conference a few minutes ago.

That does seem slightly impressive and I, as a Bitcoiner am always proud and happy to see Bitcoin being adopted more and more. However 250k people is not all that impressive. I do hope bigger countries start jumping on the Bitcoin bandwagon soon. Its obvious that Bitcoin will get adopted and turned into the world currency at some point. I just want that to happen sooner than later.

Small steps to world domination I guess Cheesy

Portugal has always been very crypto-friendly, knowing now that Madeira is doing doing the same that the city of Lugano (Switzerland) did is just great! Especially because at this point I hope those countries are using Madeira and Lugano as a test, so eventually bitcoin will be accepted on the whole territory!

It is a small region, but every new usage opportunity is a positive. I see you updated with the Honduras stuff, and that is good too.

It is good to see it in various countries because then you can have competition for freedom within countries, not just between countries.
