“We’ve seen bitcoin gaining traction among companies ranging from porn merchants through to car dealerships. But this may be the first time we’ve seen a country adopting it as a currency – well, a country of sorts. The Principality of Sealand has expressed an interest in adopting bitcoin. ‘Prince Michael’ Bates, of the quirky, self-proclaimed independent state, expressed interest in the virtual currency during an interview on the Reddit site. The son of Sealand founder Roy Bates was asked if the state could print its own money. ‘Yes, we are looking at ways to do it securely. Also bitcoin sounds really interesting if they stabilise,’ Bates said.”
