So digital ID allegedly going to be a requirement for a bank account in Costa Rica in Feb 26? Looking for confirmation on this but shit, so much for pura vida if true. Used to be, the ticos would get on the streets but this shit seems to be flying under the radar for most. Sad times if true. Bitcoin adoption just became more important. The good news for now is after lots of explaining, apparently some merchants in local community will be offering discounts if paid in bitcoin. Shout out to Sharkyβs in tamarindo for helping get the ball rolling! Onward π«‘
