FYI - looks like Equador will have its own digital currency by December =ttp://qz.com/258989

I've read the announcement in Spanish and essentially they are saying =hat it's a 'digital' centralized thing that you can use through the =hone. I think they have some kind of internal ledger but that's where =he similarity with bitcoin seems to stop

Also Jeffrey - you were right on why certain countries seem to be more =eceptive to the idea of a digital currency
