"For as long as we have states that strong and accepted by people, for better or worse, Bitcoin will remain a substitute currency."
States are not necessarily nations. The Bticoin community could be a nationless state.
Hmm. This
is interesting.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stateless_nation'A stateless nation is an ethnic group, religious group, linguistic group
or other cohesive group which is not the majority population in any nation state'
'
Nations without state are classified as fourth world nations.'
Be interesting to be a fourth world nation that ends up richer than the first, wouldn't it?
'
A nation can exist without a state but a state can not without a nation'
Here is a stateless nation check list from wiki:
* Has no own Sovereign State. (ticked)
* Does not form a majority in any Sovereign State. (ticked)
* Autonomist or secessionist movements is known to exist. (ticked)
* Not recognized by any UN members. (certainly ticked)
I think we match the criteria!
So, what's our name?
Bitcoin Nation? The United Nations of Bitcoin? The People's Republic of Bitcoin?
We need a flag though, even the nationless states have a flag on that wiki page.
