 Imagine a country with 600k inhabitants, limited financial infrastructure, gold, sugar exports, oil fields, hydroelectric power and a Bitcoiner as a presidential candidate..

I am of course talking about the Latin American nation of Suriname. 🇸🇷
On the border of Guyana and Brazil.

The presidential candidate is Maya Parbhoe and is a true bitcoin maxi with zero tolerance for shitcoins and government interference.
Her technical understanding penetrates both financial technology, capital structure, energy systems and real estate as well as bitcoin mining.

Suriname has major deficiencies in financial infrastructure, but good mobile coverage.
This, combined with a low population, possibly makes Suriname an ideal country for Bitcoin adoption.

As a people, Surinamese are subjected to weak money. With long days in exchange for low wages. But with a strong connection to own culture and history placed in
rich nature, heritage and climate they are very conducive to a bright future for a nation that dares to think anew. 

7 to 9 November this year they are holding a Bitcoin conference in Paramaribo. surinamedecentralized.com
I have secured tickets for me and my family to get a glimpse of what I believe will be the start of a bitcoin based national economy.

Want to give Maya Parbhoe a better chance to get Suriname onto a Bitcoin standard?
