๐ฉ Vanuatu Bitcoin Circular Economy ๐ป๐บโจ
Stop #28 on the Circular Economies Tour
๐ Vanuatu (Port Vila โข Mele and surrounding islands)
๐ฏ Merchant Adoption โข Remittances โข Practical Bitcoin Usage
On the islands of Vanuatu, Bitcoin Vanuatu is working to turn everyday challenges into opportunities for real-world Bitcoin adoption. With a pro-crypto government, no income or capital gains taxes, and a population often separated by seasonal work abroad, Bitcoin offers a powerful tool for savings, payments and family support. The project focuses on showing locals and businesses how Bitcoin can be used today, even in the absence of traditional exchanges.
