This is great. We sometimes forget that out there, people live in really remote islands. It's actually pretty shocking to thing but it happens a lot. People in the middle of the nowhere surrounded by water. All those places get internet due satellites, but usually have a lot of problems when dealing with international transactions. Bitcoin would be able to deliver instant international commerce to all those remote islands.

That's what I think too.

Bitcoin can be the answer to a real problem that these remote communities experience and can bring them into the digital age.

Right off the fkn' highway.
Such remote.
Very community.

Not a country, not an island, just a building:

He is a funny guy, one can even say he is a joke.

He bought a building in 2000 that has a particular history in Portugal because it was sold by the king of Portugal when the country was broke in 1903.

He clearly likes monarchy and likes people to call him "Your Majesty".

Here's the building:

Irrelevant. The point still stands: Bitcoin could help a lot of people out there that happen to have access to the internet, but have a really hard time dealing with remittances. Look up a bit the amount of random islands out there with populations ranging from 1000 to 10000 people. All of those will be on Bitcoin in 10 years.
