The Caribbean is becoming a major place for the adoption of Bitcoin cash. Several businesses and individuals have begun to accept and use Bitcoin cash as a means of exchange for goods and services, and for daily transactions instead of the conventional fiat via bank transfer or fiat.
A lot of businesses have started accepting Bitcoin cash as means of payment since it has a lot more advantages over fiat, especially in terms of negligible transaction fee and faster transactions, zero tax, with the added advantages of privacy and anonymity due to its decentralized nature.
This movement started with Rolando Brison a parliament member of St. Marten and the leader of the United People's Party (UP party St. Marten) announcing and signing on the 19th of March to have his entire salary paid in Bitcoin cash.
"I believe St. Maarten has a chance to be the ‘Crypto Capital of the Caribbean’ if we continue to innovate and embrace cryptocurrency and all the benefits of blockchain technology" - MP Ronaldo Brison.
He is leading by example thank to the hard work and guidance by Bitcoin cash Jesus- Roger Ver ( @RogerVer) who has prioritized attracting people and businesses to using Bitcoin cash, and has succeeded in this cause because Bitcoin cash is not just any cryptocurrency but is actual cash that can be spent with ease and convenience without fear of a transaction fee which defeats the purpose of Peer-to-Peer electronic payment.
Merchants are following in the example set by R. Brison and are gradually actualizing MP's dream of making St. Marten the crypto capital of the Caribbean. Now you can take a taxi with stickers that says 'I accept Bitcoin cash' and pay using the same. Coffee shops, bars, hotels, pubs and many more now accept bitcoin cash as payment because it is electronic cash that works.
The shareable link feature of the bitcoin.com wallet makes it even easier as you can simply share a payment link to the recipient via WhatsApp and once clicked the Bitcoin cash balance is instantly updated without delay.
