Hi Tobias10

I agree with your suggestion. We are currently wait and see for this cryptostocks issue before taking any action. We will give them (cryptostocks) to solving the issue until Wednesday before doing any action.

this is a great place and space, next time when I am in Bali I will be sure to visit here. Thanks pa Oscar.

cryptostocks? maybe, in a way that is quite similar as how bitisland is looking for donation and giving dividends at the same time. we are really working hard to prove to be professional before executing anything official.

I have a want to register my company at Bitcoin Foundation silver member or if not personally registering myself in a lifetime pass. Also waiting for membership acceptance from bitcoininstitute.org

One of our aim is to have a strong foundation within the knowledge of Bitcoin while doing small executions one little step of a time. After all, we are at one of the base of Indonesia's educational city center.

Knowledge holds a great power within us all and open to vast potentials.

If we can share our knowledge and experience with each other it will be a lot easier for us all!

Well, I am hoping to see you all soon, Indonesia is a divided by many Islands and we should really have representatives around here. Well, I wish good luck to pak Oscar Darmawan and his associate William Sutanto.

Indonesia is a great place to be invested in, and as you all know, we are the fourth largest population in the world.

So I would really like to open all our minds here that we are all working hard to achieve what bitcoin revolution can do here.

*update*
- we have done some quick surveys around Yogyakarta
- we are also been acquainted with Nikhil who pioneered Bitcoin Boulevard at Cleaveland. (he gave us lots of homeworks)
- our company is legally under a law firm under the name of Commanditaire Vennootschap Coinkita now.
- joined and became one of the editor of Indonesia Bitcoin Community (hope to promote this program locally when it has been at MVP state)

To all start-ups lets share the enthusiasm, we are ready to face this revolution.

I think, Yogyakarta is 2nd to Bali in attract tourist come to Indonesia, its a cultural city and she have Borobudur, the one of the most famous Buddhist temple in the world, and  Prambanan, a Hinduism temple left from great kingdom in ancient java.

Hello... is another team join Mr. Oscar??

How Bitislands Plans to Turn All of Bali into ‘Bitcoin Paradise’
by Jon Southurst (@southtopia) - Coindesk.com

Tourists traveling to the tropical holiday island of Bali would “only need to bring bitcoin” under a new initiative called ‘Bitislands’ that is aiming to convince all local businesses to accept the digital currency, including money changers.

While there are several moves to create ‘Bitcoin Boulevards’ around the world in certain neighborhoods, this is the first attempt to convert an entire island.

The social experiment is sponsored by Bitcoin.co.id (also known as Bitcoin Indonesia), Indonesia’s largest exchange and bitcoin lobby group.

Bitcoin Indonesia’s co-founder and CEO Oscar Darmawan spoke to CoinDesk about the project, saying:

“We will show to the world that bitcoin can be a better money; as a first step we will convert Bali into Bitcoin Paradise Island.”

Community support

Darmawan noted that all prominent Indonesian bitcoin startups have backed the project, and other international companies from around the Southeast Asian region have added their names as well.

To date, this list of companies includes Artabit, CoinPip, Quantified, Coin of Sale, Tukarcash and Bitwyre.


On Bitislands’ advisory board are notable local and expat entrepreneurs and investors, including producer of the “Life on Bitcoin” documentary Christian Hsieh, Quantified Assets CEO Ville Oehman, CEO of Indonesia’s biggest internet marketing forum Ricky Andrian, and the organizer of ‘Ubud Breakfast with Bitcoin‘ events Gary Dykstra.

Gaining a foothold

The project’s first goal is to set up an office and Bitcoin Information Center in Bali, and the island’s first offline bitcoin exchange. To show how serious a project Bitislands is, Bitcoin Indonesia’s CTO and other co-founder William Sutanto has relocated to Bali to personally oversee operations.

Bitcoin promises to spare travelers the headaches of having to change currency at every destination, like exchange rate ripoffs, money changer fees, the need for constant mental price conversions and others.

The Bitislands team is inviting bitcoin fans worldwide to support the initiative through donations, spreading the word and even volunteering in Bali itself.

Attracting entrepreneurs

Bali is probably a more perfect location for mass bitcoin adoption than most would assume.

Once known as a haven for surfers and hippies, the island’s image has shifted over time to that of a more mainstream tourist destination, popular especially with travelers and party-goers from Australia and Japan.

More recently, though, it has begun to attract digital nomads and other entrepreneurs from around the world as the perfect place to run a laptop-based startup.

Bali’s warm climate and relaxed, low-cost lifestyle appeals to location-independent developers who only need to meet with co-workers and clients in person a few times a year, if ever.

This situation has created a thriving startup ecosystem, generating even more interest in the area. There are already a few entrepreneurial co-working spaces there, including Hubud in the town of Ubud, The Sanur Space in Sanur, and the offices of web design and marketing company Lumonata in main center Kuta.

Happy to see so many Bali merchants getting onboard the Bitcoin train. I hope to roll out the same thing for islands in Malaysia.

My partners at BTC FUTURE (btcfuture.biz) did meet Oscar back early this year...
All the best and keep in touch.

It seems today we got some coverage from media. I hope bitcoiners will come to support us. Come to bali guys!

Support our project

Other city which is being prepared right now is Yogyakarta, we are starting up to do some surveys and fun stuff to see the outcome. Our team is barely new and we still have to learn so much. That is why Oscar Darmawan is like our inspiration plus mentor. We want Yogyakarta, the vast cultural tourist attraction area, to accept bitcoin too.

Yes, it is still an idea, but we have prepared much within a month after we began to understand the value of bitcoin.

As Draper have said, “All I know is this money is more secure than the money that is in my investment bank.”

Salam Sukses for bitisland.com and let us build together bitcoin and ground it down to earth in Indonesia, semangat yah pak Oscar Darmawan. You got all our support too.

Hi Ratters

Replied Please check your PM

Bitcoin archipelago 

This indeed seems like a very good idea,  and an initiative.
Considering the tourist popularity of Bali, and the advantages of Bitcoin, people will save a whole lot of money, which would normally be lost to paying conversion fees.

All this, and reports of a Jersey(european island) all set to become a first state to accept bitcoins as a means of currency, is very very promising for the community.

I would encourage leaders from every state to take up a project to introduce BTC to local businesses.
