Finding Freedom on Bitcoin Island in the Philippines with Marc Mantini

In this new segment of Coin Stories, Natalie interviews Bitcoin voices from around the world. Meet Marc Mantini, a Canadian native who recently moved with his wife to 'Bitcoin Island' in the Philippines. Marc has been in Bitcoin since 2016 and first discovered its value for saving time and money on remittance transfers between Canada, the Philippines and Australia. But when the pandemic hit and the government exerted more control than ever before, he realized Bitcoin also represented personal freedom.   Follow Marc on X: https://twitter.com/ScartownSparks  Promotional Links: Bitcoin Amsterdam is Oct 12-13 & Bitcoin Nashville is July 25-27, 2024: Get 10% off your passes using the code HODL at  https://b.tc/conference Fold is the best Bitcoin rewards debit card and shopping app in the world.
