In One Month, Everyone In Iceland Will Own Cryptocurrency
The cryptocurrency craze spun into a new realm of ridiculous with Kanyecoin, Dogecoin, Ron Paul Coin and the bounty of other clone-coins that sprung up to ride the Bitcoin wave. But the latest altcoin to enter the market, Auroracoin, wants to take the futurist trend back to its cryptoanarchist roots. The altcoin was designed specifically for Iceland, and the creator plans to give every citizen of the Nordic country a digital handful of Auroracoins to kickstart their use.
Auroracoin is the brainchild of cryptocurrency enthusiast Baldur Friggjar Odinsson, and he’ll be the one distributing pre-mined coins to the entire population of Iceland at midnight on March 25 in a countrywide ”airdrop.” Each Icelandic citizen—all 330,000 of them—will receive 31.8 AUC through a digital transaction. Citizens all have a national ID number available through a public database, which will be used to verify their identity.
This is how cryptocurrency is suppose to be used. It was suppose to be an alternative currency every could use. That everyone could afford to use. Instead bitcoin has become the hobby of banksters and the mega rich. So it is good to see Iceland, of course it’s Iceland, bring cryptocurrency back to its populist roots. Kudos to Baldur.
Kudos, to what!?? So that people have ‘units’ on a computer screen? What happens if they decide to halt some accounts? Where’s the ‘organic’ money then? People are so stupid, they’ll buy into anything. Always make sure you have some ‘organic’ stuff handy, at least your family won’t starve!
