"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.
i think Bitcoin Nation .. because we are a member of an international organization..
