Bhutan, a small Himalayan Buddhist Kingdom, known for its unique guiding philosophy of Gross National Happiness β€” is taking bold steps into the future.

Not only does Bhutan currently rank 3rd in the world in sovereign #BTC holdings, the Kingdom now also has launched a nationwide campaign to encourage local businesses to accept Bitcoin as a means of payment.

Bhutan, its economy highly depended on tourism, is especially aiming to have foreign visitors to the country be able to pay anything and everything in Bitcoin, from flights to hotels to meals to handicrafts to excursions.

Yoga Yangchen, a social wellbeing entrepreneur from Bhutan, is the first Bhutanese Bitcoin acceptant and the first Bhutanese entrepreneur on our BTCMap.

Still high on my list to visitπŸ™

BRB, booking tickets right now.

It's also very expensive and very inflexible. You WILL have a guide. You WILL only follow an itinerary. This, I'm sure, helps to keep the trouble to a minimum, but... It's not how I want to travel.

Great note Fren 🌞

Amazing place. Last place in the world to introduce TVs in the 1970s.

Before they had TVs they use to feed marijuana to pigs not knowing you could smoke it. Once they had TVs they seen in America you could. It became a massive issue and marijuana got banned lol.

Bhutan lore, you love to see it.
