The only jurisdiction on earth where you can denominate your books in BTC, pay 1% corporate tax in sats, and incorporate a Bitcoin-only startup is a free economic zone on a Caribbean island. 15+ Bitcoin companies are already operating there.
@Tomek ⚡ K visited a year ago. On day two, he bought a motorbike on Facebook Marketplace to lock the move in. He hasn't left.
What's there:
Orangeville, a wooden modular Bitcoin neighborhood climbing a jungle valley, phase one funded.
Bitcoin Arena renovated, 1,000+ kids through it weekly.
~60 merchants accepting BTC across Roatán.
~10 to 15% of Próspera's economy already on Bitcoin transactions, including rent and tax.
BitChill quarterly retreats. Satoshi Saturdays. Coffee for 2,000 sats at the Bitcoin Center.
Bitcoin Games: 150 players, 2 BTC prize pool.
Bitcoin Vibe Camp hackathon in August. Bitcoin++ and Sovereign Engineering both in talks.
The bet: Roatán becomes the most Bitcoin-dense island on earth. Madeira's still ahead on merchant count. The race is on.
Episode covers Hal Finney cryogenics, quantum threats to Satoshi's coins, the Hollywood sub-genre of Satoshi films, the Bitcoin standard at Próspera, Saylor, lower-price-is-better-for-Bitcoin, and the wooden neighborhood up the jungle.
