Could you elaborate on the recent rumors that Madeira, a Portuguese archipelago, is considering adopting Bitcoin as a form of legal tender? Is there any official announcement or legislation currently underway that would support this notion? How would the adoption of Bitcoin impact the local economy and financial system of Madeira? Are there any potential challenges or risks associated with this move, and how would they be addressed? Furthermore, how would the adoption of Bitcoin align with Madeira's existing economic policies and objectives?

The EU's regulatory framework poses challenges for the outright adoption of Bitcoin, as it requires adherence to strict financial regulations.

This is due to the fact that the European Union governs the Portuguese islands, and thus, they are bound by the Union's laws and regulations.

Additionally, Madeira's reliance on EU subsidies and energy sources may also contribute to the difficulty in adopting Bitcoin as a primary form of currency.
