    Do people seriously not stand up when a President of a country walks into a room to address them?

    I was supportive of everything he said up until he criticized pineapple on pizza.

    Why did no one ask about the Auroracoin and Bitcoin? Iceland would be well-served by fully adopting Bitcoin as the open ledger of choice for all governmental financial transactions, and by encouraging its citizens to make good use of it as well. Anyway, a pleasant discussion. Thanks.
