Paystand CEO and co-founder Jeremy Almond speaks to the power of Bitcoin circular economies at an event associated with the United Nations (UN) General Assembly week.

An extract from the newly released book "Bitcoin Circular Economies," the Costa Rica chapter discusses Bitcoin Jungle, a circular economy in Uvita, Costa Rica, and Bitcoin as a spiritual path. Like all the stories in this book, it’s a story of hope built on the sovereign money of the future.

The home country of Bitcoin Beach once again enjoys the immense benefits of the initiative that gave back to the community.

Speculation that bitcoin will become a widely-used global currency seems to be a better bet now than ever before.
