Live from Bitcoin Beach in El Zonte, El Salvador, join us for an inspiring conversation with Maya Parbhoe, a visionary leader with ambitions to transform Suriname. In this episode, Maya shares her compelling journey and vision for her country, deeply inspired by El Salvador's Bitcoin adoption.

Maya provides a captivating history of Suriname, highlighting its rich cultural diversity and abundant natural resources. Despite these assets, the country struggles with economic hardships due to corruption and mismanagement. She outlines her bold plan to replace the national currency, the Surinamese Dollar (SRD), with Bitcoin, aiming to build a transparent and prosperous economic system.

Encouraged by Samson Mow and inspired by Nayib Bukele's success, Maya has decided to run for president. Her campaign is fueled by a commitment to fight corruption, improve education, and develop the economy through Bitcoin. 

Maya's immediate focus includes actionable initiatives like housing and education. She discusses the launch of a Bitcoin education center and a soccer academy for underprivileged youth, aimed at providing opportunities and fostering skills in the community.

Tune in to hear Maya's insights on how Bitcoin can revolutionize Suriname, her strategy for the upcoming presidential election, and how the global Bitcoin community can support her mission.
