Maya Parbhoe, a prominent figure in Suriname’s political landscape and the CEO of Daedalus Labs, is setting her sights on transforming Suriname into a Bitcoin nation that rivals El Salvador. With a bold vision to combat corruption and introduce tangible benefits to citizens through a Bitcoin standard if she wins the upcoming 2025 elections, Parbhoe is on a mission to revolutionize the country’s financial ecosystem.

By leveraging the transparency and accountability of Bitcoin, she envisions a new era of governance that could transform Suriname’s economic landscape.
With the solid support of the Bitcoin community and her unwavering determination, Parbhoe is poised to lead Suriname in embracing the power of crypto to build a brighter future. Stay tuned to witness the unfolding of this groundbreaking journey towards a crypto-powered Suriname.
