The use of Bitcoin as a national currency is gaining traction globally, with Surinamese presidential candidate Maya Parbhoe embracing the idea and advocating for the implementation of a Bitcoin standard in Suriname. Parbhoe aims to eliminate the country's central bank and introduce free currency competition. She also plans to build the world's first blockchain-based capital market and boost economic growth through financing Bitcoin bonds. Parbhoe drew inspiration from El Salvador's adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender and Switzerland's free currency competition. Other presidential candidates, such as Slawomir Mentzen in Poland, are also embracing Bitcoin for their political and economic campaigns.
