With the Governments treasury and the reserve bank pulling the strings in the halls of power, one of the most disruptive currencies stands to even out the playing field between the halls of power and the people.
There are a few crypto-currencies in the form of Altcoins - Litecoin, Dogecoin, even Megacoin, at this stage the flag ship for this is Bitcoin.
Innovations around the Bitcoin protocol have lead to it being a bidirectional currency, and its uptake in Aotearoa NZ is on the rise.
This is a discussion space about crypto currency, what say we all?

We are a political party, so we need to think about things from a governmental perspective. Bitcoin type crypto-currencies are designed to thwart government, and therefore I believe they are NOT what we need to promote.
fuck you assholes

I like crypto-currencies, but I think we need to wait this one out.

The whole point of cryptocurrencies is that they're not linked to any government entity. The idea of an official governmental cryptocurrency misses the point entirely.

There are far better currency options available for New Zealand than existing crypto-currencies, most notably the New Zealand energy credit which will provide us all with a universal basic income, more renewable energy, and the option to mine 'crypto

I believe there are better options. The main one is getting control of the money supply away from the International Banks and into our hands.

I think BC and other cryptos are great. I'll agree but still think there needs to be an economic system that balances out the BC mining field for kiwis that are lower down the socio-economic ladder but who also want to accumulate BC :-)

I would like to see NZ be the first country in the world to do this.
If it were integrated with FlyBuys, fuel cards, and department cards such as 'The Warehouse Card' it could be a fantastic success.

I would be happy to form an opinion if I knew what it all meant. I suspect that 80% of Kiwis dont understand it either. That should suggest caution. Can someone explain Bitcoin and its checks and security simply please?
