 This is CURAÇAO 🇨🇼 

Highest bitcoin adoption in the Caribbean by a long long way. 

There are a lot of hardcore bitcoiners here. Some are very OG (12+ years in btc). 

You should absolutely come and visit. 

This supermarket was the first one in the world to accept btc unless anyone can find another supermarket accepting btc before 2018?

I was trying to keep this location secret to do a big reveal on a youtube video but I think a lot of you guys are anti youtube (and I get it) so here ya go.

 That’s pretty cool to see. Did you witness a lot of people paying in bitcoin for their everyday purchases? 
 Nope. Just bitcoiners and merchants that accept bitcoin who want to spend it locally 
 Got it. Still that’s pretty cool to see. When is the YT drop? You’ve peaked my interest! 
 It will be 2 months at least. This works takes ages. 

I’m still shooting and working out the storyline m. 

I make videos about btc in the real world all around the world though. Hit subscribe at the link below :)

 Btw I can’t zap you 
 I’ll check out the catalog!

Thank you, my zaps are a mess at the moment. Save your sats for your work of showcasing people using this money. 
 And they are like the Mecca of spoets betting  
 Probably you've heard it before. You're a good man! But good people should hear it more often. 🤙 
 That’s kind man. Thank you!! 
 Wow, never knew this. Appreciate your efforts to bring these stories 
 fact check ser! Prospera, Roatan is eastern carribbean and btc is legal lender there, you can even pay local taxes. 100pc adoption ser.  
 *western, sorry 😉  
 Def on the list of places to visit 
 Disagree coz more merchants + btc penetration + bitcoiners here. 

Btc is technically de facto legal tender here in Curaçao coz there’s 0% tax. 

I haven’t been to roatan yet, just spoken to bitcoiners + seen content from there. 

I love what Dusan and Co are doing over there though!! 
 yes mate - dont sleep on that place - im there all of nov if you fancy a hop over, scoping out some development sites - i'll do your PADI with you - best diving there mate and the Dive Operator is a Bitcoin chad!

 And yes, it beats currycow for corn adoption ser!! But will have a thumb war about it over a margarita at the bar! 
 And the houses look like a Amsterdam on psychedelics 👌 
 Loooool stealing that description 
 Oh sorry to have spoiled the surprise. I saw nobody had guessed the location and set myself a detective challenge… 
 I bet you had a bit of fun doing that 😉 
 So cool! 
 🔥🔥🔥 
 Thanks for putting this on my radar. Might visit early 2025 ✈️😍🙏🙏🙏 
 As I have been saying to others - South America and Africa is the future 
 At the grocery store, are the accepting lightning or is it just on-chain bitcoin? 
 Was there in 2017, before I was serious about Bitcoin, if only I'd known! 
 Hell yea
