Bitcoin’s boom drives the Dominican Republic in record time

Dominican Republic strengthens strongly to the global map of territories with more businesses that accept Bitcoin (BTC) as a payment method. In just 3 months, the Caribbean nation climbed up to the top 10 of nations with greater adoption, according to the BTC MAP measurement platform.

The Satoshi we are all, promoter of the use of Bitcoin in Santo Domingo, capital of the Dominican Republic, has managed to position themselves in The fourth world place among the most active communitieswith more than 100 shops that already accept BTC.

Emmanuel “Tokyo” Fermín founded the Satoshi community we are all in 2024 and, since then, together with his wife, he focuses on all his efforts on knitting a circular economy in the country.

«We basically, today (August 4) we are celebrating that we fulfilled the first objective, which was to create a real circular economy, where people could truly have a bitcoiner experience. We decided that we were going to work 3 months and in that 3 months as I told you we already went from 65 to 115 shops accepting BTC. That means we are only in the first stage of the project ».

Samaná: a Bitcoin epicenter with an organic touch

The system of Satoshi are all is not focusing only on the capital of the country, but also on the creation of circular economies in key regions such as Samaná, Punta Cana and Monte Cristi.

According to Tokyo, Samaná is becoming an epicenter of Bitcoin adoptionwith remarkable growth in just one month, from 3 to 15 businesses that accept the digital currency, including four of the ten hotels in the area.

He adds that unlike the traditional “all -inclusive” tourism of Punta Cana, In Samaná a more organic and unique experience is developingwith hotels located in natural environments such as the jungle, which attracts a different type of tourism.

“We are creating something very interesting in Samaná, a Bitcoin circular economy that offers a more authentic experience,” said Tokyo. For him, this approach redefines the tourist offer in key regions of the country.

“I know that fifteen shops may seem few, but when four of ten hotels in a tourist area like Samaná accept Bitcoin, you know that something big is happening,” Tokyo said.

Education and connection: The method behind the success

The impulse of adoption is based on the method that is implementing the community of Satoshi we are all. This consists in practical education for new users and actively connecting shops to facilitate daily transactions, testing the real utility of currency created by Satoshi Nakamoto.

At the regional level, the Latin American Bitcoin Federation accelerates the process. This network, which unites more than 39 communities, shares proven knowledge and tactics, allowing the Dominican Republic to learn from the experiences of Argentina, Costa Rica, El Salvador and other nations, all with the idea of avoiding common mistakes to advance faster, as Tokyo highlighted.

And, after an initial phase of three months of “warm up”, The ecosystem in the Dominican Republic is now prepared for exponential growth. The road map points to a massive expansion, added the leader of Satoshi we are all.

To achieve this, more educational programs are planned, large -scale events such as simultaneous conferences and virtual courses for the entire region. In addition, strategic alliances are forged with leading ecosystem companies such as Blockstream and Blink to strengthen the infrastructure. The ultimate goal is to consolidate a network of shops so wide that using Bitcoin becomes a real and daily option for all Dominicans, as noted by the leaders of the communities that grow in their territory.
