In a groundbreaking development, Maya Parbhoe, the presidential candidate from Suriname, has articulated her vision to transform the nation into a fully-fledged Bitcoin state, surpassing the cryptocurrency initiatives of El Salvador. As the CEO of Daedalus Labs, a company specializing in Bitcoin and NOSTR services, Parbhoe’s strategy is designed to mitigate corruption by integrating Bitcoin standards into Suriname’s economic framework, contingent on her success in the 2025 elections.
Should she take office, Parbhoe intends to establish Bitcoin (BTC) as the official currency, initiating a phased transition from the Surinamese dollar to satoshis, the fractional units of Bitcoin. Additionally, within her first year, all public sector salaries would be disbursed in BTC.
Moreover, her comprehensive proposal includes the abolition of the central bank, substantial tax reductions, privatization of state services, issuance of national Bitcoin bonds, and an overarching initiative towards deregulation. Such reforms could dramatically reshape the financial landscape of Suriname, offering citizens robust economic prospects.
