MAYA PARBHOE: Making Suriname the Next Bitcoin Country (THE Bitcoin Podcast)

“It's not just Suriname… It's a chance to have Bitcoin be the unit of account. It's a chance to actually separate money from State.”

On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with Suriname Presidential Candidate Maya Parbhoe. Maya is a Bitcoiner and an entrepreneur first, and a politician second. We dig into a lot in this talk including her plans to make Bitcoin legal tender on day one, her vision for the future of Suriname, political corruption, government control, radical transparency, grassroots bitcoin adoption, why it is her goal to make herself, as the president, irrelevant, and a whole lot more. It is truly inspiring to see young, smart, and optimistic people like Maya running for political office.
