Reclaiming Economic Sovereignty Through Decentralized Finance
For over a century, Puerto Rico has endured economic exploitation through mechanisms such as taxation, debt manipulation, and vulture capitalism. Billions of dollars have been extracted by American corporations and the U.S. government, often with little regard for the well-being and prosperity of the Puerto Rican people who have been instrumental in generating this wealth.
In 2025, the rise of cryptocurrency presents both opportunities and challenges. While some seek tax advantages in Puerto Rico’s picturesque locales, many remain disconnected from the island’s socio-economic struggles. The benefits of these financial systems have largely bypassed the native population, exacerbating existing disparities.
Introducing BTC4PR: Empowering Puerto Ricans Through Cryptocurrency
BTC4PR is more than just a digital token; it’s a movement aimed at fostering financial literacy, economic empowerment, and community development for Puerto Ricans. Built on the BRC-20 token standard, which enables the creation and trading of fungible tokens on the Bitcoin blockchain , $Btc4pr leverages the security and decentralization of Bitcoin to serve its mission.
Key Initiatives and Features
Token Distribution: To ensure inclusivity, $Btc4pr will airdrop 5 million tokens to native-born Puerto Ricans, providing a foundation for financial participation and growth.
Educational Programs: Recognizing that true empowerment comes from knowledge, $Btc4pr will offer comprehensive cryptocurrency literacy programs, covering topics from basic blockchain concepts to advanced financial strategies.
Economic Development: A commitment of 25% of all $Btc4pr revenue will be directed towards initiatives that uplift Puerto Rican communities, including:
- Vocational and technical training
- Entrepreneurship and small business support
- Job placement and career development programs
- Financial education and economic trade workshops
Community Services: BTC4PR will provide a suite of services to facilitate community engagement and development:
- Exploratory tours highlighting local opportunities
- Assistance with Act 60 applications and compliance
- Property and business acquisition tours
- Tax and business setup support
- Land and property management services
- Partnerships with NGOs for philanthropic projects
Bridging the Gap Between Incentives and Impact while Puerto Rico’s Act 60 offers tax incentives to attract investors, concerns have been raised about its impact on local communities, including rising rents and limited economic benefits for residents .
BTC4PR seeks to bridge this gap by providing alternative avenues for investors to contribute meaningfully to the island’s development, ensuring that economic growth benefits all stakeholders.
A Vision for a Prosperous Puerto Rico: Btc4pr envisions a future where Puerto Ricans are not just participants but leaders in the global cryptocurrency landscape. By combining the power of decentralized finance with targeted community development, Btc4pr aims to create a sustainable and inclusive economic model that honors the resilience and spirit of the Puerto Rican people.
