Live from Bitcoin Beach in El Zonte, El Salvador, in this episode, I sit down with Maya Parbhoe, a powerhouse from Suriname who’s leading a movement to bring Bitcoin adoption to her country and shake up their corrupt political system.

Maya talks about how she’s driving grassroots Bitcoin adoption, including how SATs from international Bitcoiners are changing lives in Suriname by helping local merchants and families. We also dive into her ambitious presidential campaign for the May 2025 elections, where she’s aiming to overhaul Suriname’s broken system by making Bitcoin the national currency and bringing transparency to government spending.

Maya shares stories from the "Decentralized Suriname" conference she helped organize, her vision for an open-source government, and the challenges she faces taking on the entrenched corruption in her country. She’s raising funds for her campaign and laying the groundwork to turn Suriname into a Bitcoin-powered success story.

This is a conversation about freedom, innovation, and the power of Bitcoin to change everything. If you care about Bitcoin’s potential to transform nations, you’ll want to listen to this one. Let’s support Maya and her incredible mission.
