In international politics the unveiled NSA spying has at some point been thought about by most every government. With that kind of intrusion by foreign states already in their conscience, why couldn't the political atmosphere there support an efficient economic monetary approach using bitcoin.
Would a collective partnership of sovereign countries whose taxation and economic policies are similar, but for whatever reason not effective, consider an International Reserve Bank type package based on the blockchain? Is anyone already working on this, and if so how do I get involved?
Yes, it's called the European Union, no? Is isn't the EU essentially and international reserve bank (among many other things)? It's a good case study to see how these things work - the successes, the synergies, and the challenges. For example, the power of the EU is great.
