Suriname’s new presidential candidate Parbhoe wants a deeper Bitcoin nation than Nayib Bukele’s El Salvador.
Maya Parbhoe, a presidential candidate for the South American nation of Suriname, has an ambitious vision: To build a Bitcoin nation even more deeply rooted in crypto than Nayib Bukele’s El Salvador.
Parbhoe, who is also CEO of Bitcoin and NOSTR-based services firm Daedalus Labs, has outlined a bold plan to fight corruption and deliver tangible benefits to citizens through the adoption of a Bitcoin standard — that is, if she wins the forthcoming 2025 elections.
Her top priority is to make Bitcoin (BTC) legal tender once she takes office. Within the first year, she would gradually replace the Suriname dollar with sats and ensure all salaries are paid in BTC.
