Sorry, " 97 new replies have been posted. " right... Apparently I should review my post,
but I won't. Thus completely out of context, but, just some short thoughts:
I've been thinking about a change. -not that I don't like where I live, I'm just afraid of my government and the policies of my national neighbors.
So I'm looking to take a trip, to visit some hopeful alternatives, and hoping that bitcoin will be accepted, if not directly, then at least easily exchangeable for local fiat.
And that is what got me thinking... What I really want, is to find a place where as many people as possible understand what bitcoin is about, and go there.
...
Is there such a place already? Or do we need to just build it ourselves?
I guess I'm proposing a 'bitcoin nation' and I'll just leave this post as open invitation to the first nation that not only accepts bitcoin for payment of debt, but also --
This new bitcoin nation must also use only bitcoin to pay government employees, and all departments should have their addresses publicly known. Because they are 'public servants' after all, they should provide proper accounting for all public expenditure.
This is not to say that public employees should not have private salaries, separate from their public expenditures.This could be done by publicly listing the total yearly expenditure on salary, and each employees' total, and just mach up the totals. only the total salary of every public servant should be public knowledge, what they spend it on is their own business. By mixing the outputs to all government employees, you could still know the expected total, without knowing which address is whose.
Ok, not so short thoughts, maybe should clip for a topic, maybe just dumb idea.
So tired. Sleep now.
It doesn't work like that. Bitcoin as legal tender would be terrible. Legal tender laws are incompatible with monetary freedom. I don't want to substitute one form of fiat for another. Say's Law: bad money drives out good. There would be crippling deflation.
