Maya Parbhoe Reveals Bold Plans To Make Suriname The Next Bitcoin Nation
Maya Parbhoe is a presidential candidate in the South American country of Suriname, and she has an ambitious vision for her country. Inspired by El Salvador’s Bitcoin strategy, she aims to build a Bitcoin nation with deeper roots in cryptocurrencies than Nayib Bukele’s El Salvador.
In her latest X post, she shared her plan that 6 months from now, the people of Surinam will have a clear choice to end systemic corruption, accept full Bitcoin standards, and achieve true independence .
Parabuho’s bold plan
Parbhoe has drafted bold plans to fight corruption that will provide tangible benefits to citizens if she wins the upcoming 2025 election by adopting Bitcoin standards. Her first priority is to make Bitcoin legal tender once she takes office. Her goal is to gradually replace the Surinamese dollar with Sat within the first year and pay all wages in BTC.
Her plan goes beyond making Bitcoin legal tender, including dismantling central banks, cutting taxes, privatizing public services, issuing national Bitcoin bonds and pursuing widespread deregulation.
Palabo devoted the rest of his life to it!
While many politicians have recently turned to cryptocurrencies, Parbhoe has been involved with Bitcoin for a decade. In 2014, she became involved in the crypto field, joining a Telegram group called Whale Pool and attending several crypto conferences.
“I completely fell down the rabbit hole and decided to dedicate the rest of my life to it. If there was one reason you could die on this mountain, Bitcoin would be it,” she said.
Bitcoin comes to the rescue
She subsequently discovered that Suriname’s weak financial infrastructure and lack of capital markets hampered economic growth.
She emphasized the need to build an alternative that avoids replicating the same problems caused by fiat systems and emphasized building a new system based on what Satoshi Nakamoto started.
She draws inspiration from Nayib Bukele’s success in transforming El Salvador from the murder capital of the world into a country free of widespread crime. She believes that implementing a similar program in Suriname could help eliminate systemic corruption in the country by harnessing the power of Bitcoin to increase transparency in government budgets.
Palbo does not see Bitcoin as just a financial instrument, but as a key means to create a transparent and accountable governance system to revitalize Suriname.
