Topic: Nationalists win elections in Catalonia, secession due in a matter of months (Read 1525 times)

First Kosovo, then South Osetia and Abhaiza, then Krim and problem in Ukraine..it's a trend of making small independent districts..we ll see which one will be next

It's difficult that Spain and EU will permit this..Ok they can declare independence but than what...will be outside EU and can not eneter there because Spain in that case would say "no", and it's a question who will accept their independence..next will be corsica,sicily,venize...

I am really wondering what is going to happen after this. Are they gonna be complete sovereign state?

I hope a lot the South States will secede again. A lot of good things could happen if such a thing happens any day. Maybe their good conservatives ideas would be widespread among United States and offialized by order in every state   !

The divide between the Red states (such as Oklahoma and Texas) and the Blue states (such as NY and California) is widening. I don't think that this will lead to the disintegration of the US immediately or in the short term, but if the next president is either a warmonger or incompetent, then there is a good chance that disintegration can happen in the long term.

This is quite exciting news. Lets see whats their agenda in coming months.. Hope the Govt is for the People.

USA must do the same.

The change will not necessarily result in a good outcome for the population in Catalonia.

Not really. Especially when this is about things that cannot be discussed like this. Tell me, from which country are you from ?

Not a huge fan of democracy huh?

I hope that this will never happen. Catalonia is a part of Spain and will rest forever. What the fuck ?! When will the king do something about this by saying : "NO !" ? They can still be part of France again if they want but nothing more !

It`s gona be like in UK anc Scotland. They all making elephant from a fly, and if it happens what will Spain do after with Baskia, and south?

BANK OF CATALONIA, the new bank CATALÁN

Catalan Bank and its currency, the catcoin, are now a reality.

This week has officially created the Bank of Catalonia , a project that had already been a simmering in the minds of some students of the Faculty of Economics and Business at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) year. From work to grade, the idea began to take shape, and through good cooperation with a team in Nepal, September 22 was released on catcoin , Catalan virtual currency issued by a single virtual Bank Peninsula, the Bank of Catalonia.

What is a virtual currency?

A virtual currency or cryptocurrency  is one currency that is not physical or trust, which is used for online transactions independently of any regulatory bank or central government, and that follow the rules of supply and market demand. A virtual currency value based on the trust users accrue to it. That is, if we create one currency and no one uses it, nobody wants it or believe it is a hoax, its value is zero, because no purchase or values. But if everyone or a majority begins to accept it and use it, that currency will be gaining value, gaining strength and stabilize the market as a means of frequent use. But just as it can happen with the euro, if one morning we got up and it turns out nobody likes the euro and nobody wants it, and you have 500 or 900,000 are not going to do any good. Similarly, a € 10 banknote has a value of 10 € really worth the money printing that piece of paper, which is probably much lower than € 0.01, but to establish a serious and regulated market, this role has value of 10 €, and so we give and we believe, because we have confidence as users of the ticket that other users also give the same value to us.

The idea of virtual currency arises for the first time in 1998 by the hand of Mr. Wei Dai, which proposed a new method of creation and circulation of money supply that was not dependent on a centralized authority or manipulative. In January  2009, a user named Satoshi Nakamoto materialize the idea, creating what would be the first free and independent virtual currency, Bitcoin .

Catalan virtual currency, despite its name, is not limited only to the area of Catalonia, its use is global and anyone can open a free account with the Bank only requires internet connection. But what good is the catcoin?

It serves as a reserve currency or shelter in the same way it does today gold, increasing its value progressively and especially in times of crisis.
Investment. Chances are that the price of catcoin up early, by its novelty incentive and political events that shake Catalonia in recent months.
Revitalize, strengthen and / or make stronger local commerce, allowing SMEs and independent see growing trade between them and the users of the currency.
Speculation, just as Any virtual world currency. Although catcoin is designed to prevent abrupt changes in the market price.
The Bank's role is merely platform to buy, sell, give away or save money; this can be changed to euros, dollars or other currency through each user's personal account linked to your Paypal account. The coin has a current value of € 0.2520, which varies depending on the coins they acquire users, the more coins are acquired, the greater the value. If you sell the currency to the bank (which can also be), the stock of coins increases and decreases of the official price.

It is expected to gradually and businesses interested go joining the project and accepting the currency as payment in case any of your customers so requests. The opening area is the district of Gràcia. A future virtual store where products can be purchased with the currency was also raised.

It is an interesting project, and I invite you to create you your own, it's very fast and there is a promotion where they give you a nickel for every five that you acquire as a new user.

Also. Dead but:

Don't worry. Catalonia is not Donbass and Spain is not Ukraine. The Spanish government has allowed the usage of the Catalan language (one of the recognized minority languages under the European Union constitution), and the Catalan inhabitants themselves have made it very clear that they want to secede peacefully.

No country will ever be bitcoin (the money) friendly.
If you had the money making machine, would you allow competitors?

BTW, catalonian politicians, the ones promoting "independence" (wtf is that?) are just trying to evade Spanish control on their corrupt maneuvers.

Nope.



Nope.

Lets see if this will really happen, will the Anarchist rebellion happen again? Hopefully they won't get themselves all killed.

I wonder if Catalonia will be free market/bitcoin friendly. I am not aware of how the politics are in the area.

They will probaly be out of the eu and eurozone if that happens?

Contracts are only valid with the nation of spain, which would not include catalonia if they get independency no?

Unless Catalonia will respect the human rights, like self defense, that Spain infringes... MEH!
