Bitcoin Islands
summary
Panel reports real results: Roatán runs a Bitcoin payroll and education program onboarding 60 businesses on Roatán, with a non‑KYC ATM and a bitcoin‑only café; Boracay deploys Lightning via a pouch wallet and reaches 250 merchants in Boracay who mostly auto‑convert to pesos to cash out; Paraguay secures a mining pipeline and a first 100 MW contract to fund a tech campus that will train thousands while navigating five ministries and unstable grid constraints. These projects are live, measurable, and building circular Bitcoin economies.
