Interesting concept, no idea if this is sourced or validated, or what the agenda of the publication is.
At this time I suspect that this is a hoax rather than a real news report. That might change with more information.
Same here. Though I would imagine the real people benefiting would be people holding Bitcoin. Especially if true, since shit would jump the price massively while in effect.
Not really, 2M$ per ship isn't much compared with the size of Bitcoin which 1410000M$
So all the countries should use BTC instead of USD, then
and while we are at it let's use something more modern & scalable like Kaspa (or whatever other cooler thing)
Bitcoin Bros .. yeah, can't say I considered those but I'd suspect that's indeed a high probability.
