Really interesting speach from the CEO of CCP (The company behind EVE Online) about the Icelandic krona and what (bad) effects it's had on the company. The speach is in Icelandic but at 25:10 he says this:

Ég hélt að planið væri að ganga í Evrópusambandið og taka upp evru, það er eitthvað bakslag í því og nú á annaðhvort að taka upp danska krónu, kanadískan dollara eða Bitcoin? Ekki ætlum við að nota krónu? Er það? Er það planið?

I though the plan was to join the European Union and start using the Euro coin, now there is a backslash in that plan and now were supposed start using the danish krona, Canadian dollar or Bitcoin? We arent going to use the Icelandic króna? Are we? Is that the plan?

This is strange as the CCP pays its employees in Euro

I know, hes talking about Iceland. What will Iceland use in the future as he has no belief in the Icelandic krona. He also mentions in the video that the EVE Online currency is named ISK. They named it that in memory of the Icelandic krona (ISK) as they never expected Iceland to hold on to it for this long.
