Excellent discussion gentlemen... as The Corbett Report is saying: With a never-ending stream of taxpayer money and no competition in sight, governments are a breeding ground for stupid ideas. In fact, coming up with a list of all the idiocy that governments have inflicted on the world would be an impossible task, so let's just narrow it down to five really stupid government ideas.

I have just been to Costa Rica and for the second time in El Salvador. Spend some time in a potential hot bitcoin breeding ground in Curacao [https://signal.group/#CjQKIMGpR-JatAouQOUwnQMhqGgFMZn6PoIL0KkB3ubdwhPLEhCqFfsvCwHnAntrx5sArWIX] , where there are some good bitcoin group participants are doing some great work. I am now on my way to Madeira [https://t.me/freemadeira] were I see @andreloja doing good work. Here in Lissabon I met/meeting with @PacoSan who understands the issues very well. I hope https://t.me/AdoptingBTC and https://t.me/bitcoin_dominican_republic , @x11r0n from Bitcoin Jungle and @haiti_bitcoin , @bitcoinlake , @bitcoinLisboa , @lnp2pCR , @Bitcoin_Xoe and all those thousands of other bitcoin country groups are reading along.

In the countries I have been I see it time and again that small merchants don't trust what is being concocted from higher up.

*** So it proofs my thesis that a top-down adoption - a Government State Bitcoin Economy will not work... or at least not if there is not enough of a bottom-up adoption drive...***

I keep begging the influencers to concentrate on orange pilling the small merchants. As soon as they have the knowledge and understanding of a bitcoin economy, the domino effect can take place. See Western African States how successful they are even stopping CBDC's getting a footing.

We can only learn from each other and from the excellent ideas that are openly discussed in groups like these. https://t.me/BitcoinForCommunities and at above mentioned individual Bitcoin Groups.

I can only see so much potential and even more; Hope !
