"Bitcoin as legal tender in Mexico" - announcement from Mexican legislator that she's bringing a bill to the president to consider
Bitcoin as legal tender (and tax-free!) in Madeira, Portugal
That's amazing.
With Mexico it would be hard to ignore for first world legislators to ignore it as a foreign currency.
Madeira interesting as well: It's part of Portugal and Portugal has free movement of people, goods and services into the rest of Europe. Hopefully that has good legal consequences on mainland Europe.

Right. The farther north the movement goes, the better for the movement in the US. As far as Madeira goes, it's rather comical because the whole island infrastructure is based on loans and grants from the IMF over the years. It's just a big charity case and now they're flying the coop.
