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?
Like many others, I have real doubts that most countries would willingly give away "national privilege" to print their money and make their own decisions (EU excepted, and look how that is working out). The blockchain does not have enough time, IMO, to really know if it is sturdy (resistant to various kinds of attacks -- we have seen "stress tests" that irked users recently).
Getting involved! Just buy and use Bitcoin! If BTC is really good enough at some point to become a national or international currency, everyone will notice.

We see more and more bad news out of Europe almost every day. I agree that the Euro Experiment (currency) appears to be a failure.
