Suriname’s Bitcoin Plan: Maya Parbhoe Bold Vision for 2025

• Maya Parbhoe aims to make Suriname a Bitcoin-standard nation, replacing its currency with satoshi and salaries paid in Bitcoin.
• Suriname’s Bitcoin vision includes reducing reliance on the IMF, creating economic sovereignty, and attracting global investments.

Maya Parbhoe, Suriname’s 2025 presidential candidate, has outlined an ambitious plan to transform the country into a Bitcoin-standard nation. Parbhoe’s plan calls for drastic moves, including declaring Bitcoin legal money and substituting the smallest unit of Bitcoin, satoshi, for the national currency, unlike incremental measures seen elsewhere.

Aiming to surpass even El Salvador’s pioneering acceptance of Bitcoin as a national currency, this vision represents a major leap ahead.

Parbhoe Vision: Fast-Tracking Bitcoin Integration for Suriname’s Sovereignty 

Parbhoe has promised, according to her strategy, to make Bitcoin the official currency of Suriname by executive order on her first day of office. She contends that this choice will speed the acceptance process by removing the necessity for parliamentary approval.

She sees all national transactions—including salaries—moving over time to Bitcoin. She has put together a special commission headed by Austrian economist Philip Baggis to direct this process. The main objective of the commission is to provide a road map for including Bitcoin into the system, guaranteeing scalability and reliability.

Parbhoe’s program revolves around lessening Suriname’s reliance on conventional financial systems, especially foreign organizations such as the IMF. She wants to increase the economic sovereignty of the country by using distributed financial infrastructure and drawing in foreign capital.

With almost $45,000 received via crowdsourcing sites, the worldwide Bitcoin community already shows great support for our endeavor. Parbhoe’s campaign and community development initiatives—including innovation hubs and food security projects—are being funded from these monies.

Notwithstanding the excitement, others have questioned the viability of such all-encompassing alterations. They list as major obstacles Bitcoin’s price volatility, lack of general knowledge of cryptocurrencies, and insufficient infrastructure. Many also wonder if the rapid change would cause social and economic disturbances.

Parbhoe, on the other hand, is adamant as Suriname’s economy and people are somewhat small, hence it is a perfect place for this financial trial. Her supporters think the action will help Suriname establish leadership in digital innovation, drawing international interest and funding.

On the other hand, CNF previously reported that Bitfinex Securities instituted an express registration system for Salvadoran nationals, therefore streamlining access to tokenized investment prospects under local laws. Salvadorans can open accounts using this method by utilizing a photo ID, tax number, biometric picture, address, and phone number.
