Gary Dykstra
In 2014, Gary relocated to Bali, Indonesia to kick off the “Bitcoins in Bali” community project. He hosted a weekly meetup and created some simple open source point of sale Bitcoin software so that local businesses could accept Bitcoin as payment. After several years of promotion, dozens of businesses were accepting Bitcoin as payment for products and services in Bali. Sadly, in the fall of 2017 a combination of high Bitcoin fees and explicit direction from the Bank of Indonesia the project was put on hold indefinitely.
