According to BlockBeats, on November 25th, reported by Cointelegraph, Suriname's presidential candidate Maya Parbhoe has an ambitious vision to create a Bitcoin nation more deeply rooted in cryptocurrency than El Salvador.
Parbhoe is also the CEO of Daedalus Labs, a service company based on Bitcoin and NOSTR, and she has proposed an ambitious plan to combat corruption and provide tangible benefits to citizens by adopting the Bitcoin standard—provided she wins the upcoming 2025 election.
Her primary goal is to establish Bitcoin (BTC) as legal tender once she takes office. In the first year, she plans to gradually replace the Surinamese dollar with satoshi (the smallest unit of Bitcoin) and ensure that all salaries are paid in BTC.
Her plans go far beyond establishing Bitcoin as legal tender; they also include dissolving the central bank, cutting taxes, privatizing public services, issuing national Bitcoin bonds, and promoting widespread deregulation.
