The embassy accepts payments in cash and Crypto, and has become an emblematic tourist site in Panama. It receives visitors from all over the world. It is one of the projects created by startup Cryptobuyer.io, known for being the first company in the world to install ATMs in commercial banks, as well as integrating its system Cryptobuyer Pay that allows any commerce to accept payments in Bitcoin and other currencies.

Motivations to Build the Blockchain Embassy in Panama

Bitcoin.com reached out to one of the founders of the Blockchain Embassy (and Cryptobuyer), Jorge Farias, to get some insight on the motivations behind setting up the embassy.
He said, “We created the embassy because we were motivated by the need to educate the people not only of Panama, but also of the world. Panama is a tourist site, and at the same time, a major financial and logistic center. We believe that it is an ideal place to show the power of technology in a real, palpable way.”
Furthermore, he said his company chose the site in Panama City because it is easy to access by car and it allowed his team to integrate all of its amenities. He said besides offering the Crypto ATM, hardware wallets, and all the amenities mentioned, they plan on gradually adding many more things for their customer’s enjoyment.
