"China" vs "Republic of China"... IT'S CALLED TAIWAN, SUCKERS. Lol China, they will regulate the shit out of things and remain a decade behind on net stuff, as always. Golden Shield, remember? TOR blockers, remember? Yeah, they will certainly like financial freedom. Roll Eyes

I voted South Korea, but I really think the best chances lie with sovereign trading posts. Or maybe finance extremists like Jersey 'n the likes. The banks themselves probably don't have a problem with Bitcoin, they just don't want to get involved in a regulation vs digital freedom war, that's why they keep misbehaving.

How about another option: the free Internet? Location matters little for our kind, as long as it isn't firewalled by government or observed with threat of death penalty. That would probably be my #1 choice, although it jeopardizes the vote.

the current uneconomic economy seems designed to fail, like a giant ponzi where everyone loses in the end.

"the end" being dec 21, 2012, the day the world gives the banks their money back.

+1, good call! ::: doffs tin-foil fedora:::
Where can I bet on this?

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending

Quote from: Crypt_Current on February 17, 2012, 09:50:40 PM

Actually, now that I'm correctly medicated, "Bitcoins in Space" does seem like a great idea... What a fantastic incentive to get people to finally leave this rock and venture out, heh, yeah it'll be just like the wild west all over again! Maybe like a real life Firefly (and/or its finale movie, "Serenity"), Cowboy Bebop or Outlaw Star. This is awesome exciting!

I wish I could change my vote. I originally voted Netherlands, but I would like to officially change it to Bitcoins in Space.

And even though I'm pretty sure "myself" has like thousands more BTC than I do, I'm going to go ahead and donate him 0.25 BTC for that idea because it's been a really rare day for me and I feel like being an idiot right now.

I forfeited my vote for you, for I may have chosen Netherlands, nonetheless, so it all kinda worked out, sorta.

The next economy to utterly fail will be the one that drives people to bitcoin. I don't wish that on anyone (and I'm not one of the doomsayers who thinks it's necessarily going to happen) but that's the truth.

Depends on the meaning of "reject". Also, I feel like it should be a multiple choice option.

Weren't there some dudes who were going to build a libertarian island off the coast of San Francisco? What ever came of that?

just getting data...

looks like Russia is winning.

pit pay should go pay a visit to Russia with a hot girl from Montreal

Spurn wild goose chases. Seek that which endures.
