Liberland is the newest European country. Liberland came into existence due to a border dispute between Croatia and Serbia. This area along the west bank of the Danube river is not claimed by Croatia, Serbia or any other country. It was therefore terra nullius, a no man’s land, until Vít Jedlička seized the opportunity and on 13 April 2015 formed a new state in this territory. Vit Jedlicka, settled the country on this territory and has established Bitcoin as the national currency.
The state already has its own national flag, coat of arms, and official website and Wikipedia page. The new government form of Liberland will be a republican type of direct democracy where all the citizens have a direct participation and are allowed to propose new rules to be voted by the community.
It is not the first time Bitcoin or some other cryptocurrency has become the official currency of a separate territory. For example, it has already happened in Lonseston, Australia. Lonseston planned to build the world’s largest local Bitcoin-based economy in the city, with support from local businesses and even government. The project team and supporters thought that Launceston would make a good high-density testing ground for Bitcoin.
The official acceptance of Bitcoin will not only allow the new country to avoid spending money on launching of state typography, but will also will prevent a lot of funds being spent in designing and producing the banknotes and protection means.
Even if Liberland does not come to succeed, it will most certainly deliver a major contribution to the practical understanding of Bitcoin and blockchain technology. Besides this, and in case it succeeds, the new European country will surely become the holy ground for Bitcoin enthusiasts.

Hello ,allow me
“Hi there friends . Our country is a new establishment . Many people are asking me for citizenship. Our country is so small only 3.000-4.000 people accepted. We are expanding to fill the Danube. Please; Syrian, Kurds, Arabs, Russians and Chinese are not write me. Because we will not accept them.” Direct quote from the liberland Prez himself taken from the official liberland site. You sure you wanna part of a nationalist hate group?
“hate group”??? stop talking BS
Taken directly from the official website, lots of the forum members seem to hate turks with extreme predjudice. Too bad.
This won’t fly. Seems all of you forgot the indie nation in Japan about a dozen Japanese loons founded. BTC is there national money to. Spending money printing money isn’t the problem, civics, infrastructer, schools,basic reasources like electricity, internet, water ect… oh yeah a fair government and taxation too fund/maintain the country ect…This ship sunk before it left the harbor LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!

So it’s not liberial and live and let live after all a fresh new country instantly founded on hate and racism. Bravo! There forum discussions about taxes and basic infrastructure are comedy gold!
what do you mean by “liberial”
Look it up you lazy distick.
Terrible reporting. The city in Australia is spelt Launceston, and Bitcoin is not an “official currency” there or anywhere else in Australia.
What do you expect from bitcoiners? Fact checking? Surely you jest good sir!
I’m very happy to see this kind of initiative and it can become a rolemodel for countries looking for independancy, if Liberland would focus on things like solar, wind and water energy. That would mean real independancy. Bitcoin as a national currency is a good start imo
It will be quickly annexed by one of it’s bigger stronger militarized neighbors and it’s prez shot like a dog in the streets. An island would have been a better choice to launch this idea.
