Topic: New rebublic Liberland to accept BTC as currency (Read 7623 times)

autonomous territory


Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China


British Overseas Territories


French Polynesia


Etc.?

Good for the only resident of this country. Have no need to create the Central Bank, to invent the new currency and to produce it. There is engaged with the creation of the other institutions, the finding of the members of governments, of Prime Minister and all the other chairpersons of all the other institutions.

You mean like HongKong , Macao, Cayman Islands, Bora-Bora, etc?

If you think those micronations have become an impoverished hellhole then think again.


With great amounts of wealth and support from the elite, we can create many micronations that will prosper, and somehow survive between sharks.

Have u used a map recently?

No, I'd get crazy seasick I think it is better to have an island near Sri Lanka, pretty alright weather and close to a good country, its very near to India too which is a major developing country.

it was incredible, was already recognizes liberland BTC, when my country ?

Probably just for the novelty value / attention they would get. Having your own island or country would be cool but not a crappy thing in the middle of the sea.

I don't think about the 'land mass' being a requirement but they do have mass, but they are not recognized as a country. They claim to be recognized by the United Kingdom and what not but they actually aren't, and what's the point of being a king if you are only supposed to rule 50 people, and 1/5th of them already being your family. What's the point?

I don't think Sealand is actually recognized as a country, since a country needs to have actual land mass to be considered a country.

I'm sure it will be as successful and prosperous as... every single other 'free' micronation project that has gone before it.

Yea right, sorry about the pics, for some reason it was taken down i reuploaded it. (Probably some socialists got offended)

The european union is an irreversible abomination, it cannot be reversed directly, its a cleptocratic dictatorship, that steals people from all around europe and gives it to the oligarchs, while rabid and greedy socialists beg for even higher tax increases and more welfare.

this is potentially groundbreaking news, but what is actually on that land?  Are there roads going through/around it?  Is the "president" living there?  Sure it's a great idea, but he is going to basically need everyone to volunteer their time and efforts to form this legislative process he has shown on the site.  Plus the idea of no military is great (obviously that isn't even an option though).  What happens when an actual military/militia/other group threatens harm to the "citizens"?  At the very least a  national defense group sounds necessary.

So going to work wherever You want, travel trought all the countries, do business without tribute with other countries etc. for you means that it is a "freedom destroyer".
Bitcoin community is full of anarchists like you... and we are asking why things arent going well?

I absolutely agree with your statement. But I doubt that Liberland will achieve the freedom it wants. The European Union is a purely freedom destroyer. Thus, the EU must be destroyed before there could be real freedom

They can offer freedom, which europe desperately needs.

Europe is turning into a collectivist hellhole, with zombie people walking around screaming for welfare!

I will say you why it will be ended in few months: Noone will accept Liberland as regular republic, there is no reason for do this, Liberland cant offer to our civilization anything anymore, and by the way there were lot of "republics" like this one for last decades, but only one wasnt accepted so there will be not new country also there will be not republic which's national payment will be BTC  Angry

I miss the walls on the pictures. If the country will look like on the pictures one day with all the wealth you need really high walls because it is surrounded by poor countries 

That's called a pipe dream or a libertarian utopia fantasy  . The thing is with these things they always start off with good intentions and ideas but the people who run them will get power hungry or soon find out how difficult it is to run a anarchist utopia, especially when shit kicks off or some bad apples infiltrate the group.

The last time I saw the Croat / Serb border it was all land mines and snipers. I'd be careful digging in your garden in Liberland. 

Judging by the pictures, its funny how the design reminds me of Jaque's Fresco designs on a Resource Based Economy city, but the ideology of Liberland is the total opposite to an RBU.

He got arrested fro trespassing on the land so it looks like this idea was a failure before it even got started. These things always run into trouble. You'd be better off buying your own island or creating one somewhere but that costs a lot of money and still can run into legal trouble.

This ↑

And I think, supported by latest news, it is much more likely to succeed than many ppl think. It seems it actually has support both from Serbia and Croatia and possibly many more states. The fact is all the regimes are screwed and even the ruling class itself needs some place to store the money they all stole from tax payers. And having tax heaven as a neighbour - I also understand while ordinary Serbia and Croatia citizens support it too, taking into account how fucked their economies are 25 years after the fall of Soviet block. EUSR is only making thing worse for ordinary folks.

Who cares about them anyway, they are a bunch of thieves, of course they wont recognize it. Is there honor amongs thieves?

The important thing is that we should support it, we are honest people here who want economic freedom. The EU doesnt want it (taxes ,regulations, permits).

Finally this may mark the beginning of the first legal institution of Bitcoin in liberland,although not recognized by the European union or the world for the matter,but we can still dream can't we

Because the ruler of this 'Liberland' place is natural born Czech man, thus he made this language one of official languages of his country. Simple.

My question have not been answered so far. Still interesting in why the offcial language is Czech? Thanks!

It is possible, dedication creates freedom 

And nobody is concerned about the minefields there?

There are still 10-15k active mines between Croatia and Serbia , and a lot of them are in Osijek.

Just read an article about Liberland in the news. The founder of Liberland has recently stated that there are currently no inhabitants. There is only one old unlivable building on the countries area that is more than 100 years old. And there are more than 300k of applications for a citizenships from where 2000-3000 people are choosen based on their education. Sorry, but this project seems really crazy 

Yeah,  who knew creating an entire country was little more than declaring you own something that is in dispute between other claimants, and sketching some SimCity pictures on top of it before 'the world'  can catch up to your cunning ambition?   Check and mate,  statists!  Now if you will kindly hurry up and recognize us in your little club you can waste no time getting us the dirty banker development and investment money you obviously are dying to spend here so we can build this shit and show you how independent we are from your antiquated systems and mouldering ideals. 

A few hundred registering online doesn't mean anything. How many of this 200,000 will actually move to Liberland? It will take many years, if not decades to develop this swampy piece of land. And by the time they develop it and make it inhabitable, Croatia will just annex it, just like they annexed the Republic of Serbian Krajina in 1995.

Liberland is a libertarian democracy? 

I had a dream to start building crypto villages one day so this is a start and a bold statement so for me Kudos to this Gent for creating this concept and little country. At least he is trying to create a digital parallel economy which might work a whole lot better than fiat and boom and bust economies.

I've been reading about Liberland and seeing what comes out of there... Anyone already have a citizenship?

I think this is a great concept, but I'm not really sure if it will work... Since they have no military it's easy to attack them and reclaim the land.

In one way or another, it will bring a lot of media attention which can never be bad. Just look at the post below, new sites are starting to talk about it already.

Many big news sites reported about this

Already 200 000 people all over the world registered for citizenship, and investors showed interest.
Here are some picutures I found how they imagined it.

Not even the rich that want to store their wealth without any regulations and under secretive banking policies will want to use Libertard to store their monies, when they have Caiman Islands, Switzerland etc. It just sounds too corny to begin with.

If this "state" is not offically acknowledged by the European Union they don't bother about Croatia or Serbia annexing Liberland.

Serbia can't touch.. but Croatia can. That is because, as per the internationally recognized boundaries, Liberland is a part of Croatia. It is the Croatians, who are refusing to take ownership. But remember that they can change their stance at anytime, and it does not require prior permissions from the European Union.

So much good news for bitcoin last days and this is the beginning. Spain with no tax with bitcoin transactions, new republic, a lot of new startups... I like it

Serbia and Croatia wont touch it without permission from European union and NATO .

And also its conflicted aria coz neither Serbia or Croatia wants that piece of land . Serbia says its Croatian and Croatia says its Serbian

It's going to become a resort for rich families to store their wealth with low taxes as some pointed, thats what I personally see this project turning into. The country is in between of pretty conflicting areas to both. I wouldn't feel safe there. It would have been cooler if they did it on some island.

Because the state's founder Vít Jedlička is from Czech Republic.


I think that so. I think they are trying to build an utopia. Who knows maybe it comes true.

Nah , not tnx . .

Yes it is a good idea but if 'their idea' will die after few months that there is something wrong, isn't it?

PS: Maybe we should create "BitcoinLand" but we will use only fiat instead to use btc, what do you think ? // sarcasm.

They will be rly lucky if it comes to that . Which i dont think will happen anytime soon.

Atm that is a country from like stone age.

I will repeat that country has only couple of houses and lots off woods , nothing more.

Nice experiment this Liberland thing. Even tho im afraid it's going to turn out as some sort of place where the rich store their assets to avoid any taxes, and not much else.

Cant rly blame them it is good idea and like u can see it was all over the news so it wasnt for nothing.

But yeah im starting to think they just wanted to get some quick buck .

So I should 'create' my personal republic, tomorrow I will start to inform me ... maybe the UN will recognize it. Who knows?




200 dollars for their flag, I think they should pay us for receive it  .

It would be more complicated .

U are wrong . U can proclaim new republic on any peace of land or whatever that is not in any other country .

Check sealand its a country on a old oil platform .

And liberland is only few days old so ofc infrastructure doesn't exist.

But tbh im more and more feeling like this is scam. Now they are saying everybody who donates 200$ will get theirs flag shipped anywhere in the world. It could be that they are just trying to have fun and get some quick buck and then abandon project.

Only few houses? Why the are proclaimed themselves 'a new republic'? This is really no sense (If I can say my personal opinion). If there is not services like: hospitals, banks, schools etc... they cannot proclaim a new republic (or am I wrong?).

They are getting huge amount of requests atm so activation emails can lag quite a bit. Should be fixed soon.

No... Actually both Serbia and Croatia DON'T want that land .

Serbia wants a border on the middle of the river , and Croatia doesn't want that because of some other parts . So according to Serbia, Liberland is in Croatia, and according to Croatia Liberland is Serbia.

So its nobody's land and he claimed it which he has every right to do .

There is nothing like that atm. In that "country" there are only like few houses and thats all .

Anyone managed to sign up here?

But this man is claiming the territory though lol

1 man vs 2 countries

Unfortunately, without recognition from other countries or the UN or something, this will amount to nothing more than a website.

Only 1 word for this : ridiculous.
A state and well working government is necessary to develop. Some things just need to be centralized.

Both Serbia and Croatia claim this place as their own. The idea that nobody claims it part of its territory is totally unfounded.

Fantastic news! I hope to see every time a new (micro)nation starts to accept bitcoin as national currency.



Remember to visit also their banks , a bitcoin bank! Yuppi....

This is just great. Im gonna visit (whats there) next week. If Croatian police allows . Since they didn't allow any body to go there last few days.
And from Serbian side u can only go there with a boat.

I am in but that will not be sufficient. We need to spend also to get a system there and that will need investment in terms of real money.

Ahmm...why is the official language of this "country" Czech although it is located between Croatia and Serbia, hundreds of kilometers away from the Czech Republic? 

Yep but if people started building infrastructures things will be on a different story

The website says it's in some kind of no mans land. But on maps its in Serbia. I think if you killed someone here you would find the Serb policija informing you that you are actually in Serbia.

But today we just need Internet!

It is a war torn place indeed.

Can we crowdfund Bitcoinlandia? There must be also somewhere another forgotten piece of land...

We could also occupy Liberland and call it BitcoinLand or LandAwesome. Who is in?

Unless you are talking about a giant size economy, bitcoin role will be more towards like an experiment in a totally new environment. Nevertheless it still means something if it gets adopted as a legal tender in the state.

Welcome to "Liberland"

A Czech man is claiming to be the president of a new country he founded in Europe.

Vit Jedlicka, a member of the conservative Party of Free Citizens in the Czech Republic, is the self-appointed president of Liberland, which he says sits on unclaimed terra nullius territory wedged between Serbia and Croatia. The 3 sq. mi. “country,” where taxes are optional and a military is nonexistent, does not “interfere with the territory” of the two states, according to Liberland’s website.

“The objective of the founders of the new state is to build a country where honest people can prosper without being oppressed by governments making their lives unpleasant through the burden of unnecessary restrictions and taxes,” reads a statement announcing the creation of the new country this week. The country’s motto is: “To live and let live.”

Jedlicka, speaking by phone from Prague, told TIME that the effort began as a political stunt to garner media attention. “It started a little bit like a protest,” Jedlicka, 31, said. “But now it’s really turning out to be a real project with real support.”

The project has already received roughly 20,000 applications for citizenship, according to Jedlicka, who estimated that the country will receive as many as 100,000 applications by the end of next week...

This is great, if it is allowed to survive.

I wish there was more news about this country. Only 7 kilometers squared.

What will this state with Zero population accept currency for?

If this is true then it will be stepping stone, slow and steady growth for BTC

There is this new Free republic of Liberland which was just founded on internationally free land which no state has claimed. There is a word it will accept BTC as the currency. http://liberland.org/en/about/ http://liberland.org/en/news/
