Hola from Puerto Rico! I'm here to celebrate a friends birthday, and scope the nascent crypto scene that's exploded here in recent years. Expect a full debrief next week when I'm back, but so far, it's fascinating to compare the neocolonial visitor dynamics here compared to those in my 2021 home of Maui. Here's the best article covering it I've seen so far (though with heavy bias), detailing how PR lured crypto rich here with tax breaks in 2012 but haven't seen the investment they wanted as a result, rather pricier real estate to the detriment of locals.And yet, the promise of web3 solves exactly these problems by decentralizing and disinter mediating finance. Locals I've talked to so far are of both minds.Another PR fact is Pedro Albizu Campos, the Harvard educated leader of the independence party who lead armed revolt against local authorities and shot several Congressmen before dying from dubious jail time in the 60s.
