Galt’s Gulch Chile Announces Partnership With Bitcoinschile
Galt’s Gulch Chile has partnered with Bitcoinschile.cl to become the leading supplier and exchange for Bitcoin in Chile.
The move follows GGC’s November 13 announcement that it would accept Bitcoin for real estate sales, adding yet another product available for purchase with the popular cryptocurrency. GGC is currently accepting Bitcoin at 20% above the spot price for select residential lots with the self-sustaining libertarian community.
GGC is also a major sponsor of this weekend’s Latin America Bitcoin Conference in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The conference is organized by the Argentina Bitcoin Foundation, a non-profit organization. It will feature a panel of speakers with expertise in online payment systems, business development, finance and public policy.
The conference runs December 7-8 at HOTEL MELIÁ BUENOS AIRES. More information on the event can be found at on the event page.
Bitcoin is a natural fit for GGC, as its use is completely voluntary and its value is regulated by the market, rather than central banks.
Galt’s Gulch Chile
Galt’s Gulch Chile was founded to give objectivists, libertarians and other proponents of individual liberty the opportunity to live according to their principles of free markets, voluntary association and minimal to no government interference. Its name is inspired by Ayn Rand’s classic Atlas Shrugged, in which the character John Galt persuades successful industrialists to leave their respective nations and found a society based upon voluntary association.
Please refer to the GGC website for further details on the project and also register for on-going updates and opportunities for living in the community.
