    I saw this morning someone raising the prospect that Catalonia could use Bitcoins instead of Euros for its new currency.
    It goes from bad to worse. You can't even get bitcoins from an ATM.
    Tourists would have to change all their money into Bitcoins to shop there.
    Its laughable.
    Fair enough if they had a proper plan for independence. But they don't. They are a joke.

    Sounds like Brexit all over again.

    It seems to be the industrial centre of Spain. Also has huge tourism numbers, property investors, cruise ships leaving from there, etc. It has a lot going for it alright.

    But its pointless being an industrial centre if you aren't able to trade or use the currency of the rest of Europe.

    Many of those leading the charge for independence are from the far left who hate capitalism and wealth creation. You'd soon see Catalonia go down the tubes if they were in charge. They stirred up anti Madrid feelings. Catalonia as an independent state has no future. There'd be mass unemployment as all the major companies left and the tourists stopped coming.


    all of that is inaccurate. easily debunked propaganda.

    ticking a box on a form does not make you of a religion.
