Roatan is probably the bitcoinest island on the world.

Thanks to #BitcoinRoatan efforts (huge kudos to @AmityAge) , there is circa 50 merchants on the island (outside of Prรณspera) that accept Bitcoin... but volumes are rather very low.

There is also a non-trivial number of:
- bitcoin OTC and ATM trades
- real estate purchases (https://payamag.com/2025/07/15/bitcoin-real-estate/)
- poker games (dozens milions of sats weekly in buyins)

Inside #Prรณspera zone, every business takes BTC, like:
- administration (taxes, fees)
- hotels, hostel, long term rentals, event spaces
- restaurants, bars, grocery shop
- montessori school, podcast studio
- dive shop, beach club, golf course, tennis center, podcast studio
- cleaning & food subscription

Prรณspera estimates that 10-15% of its economy runs on Bitcoin.
