Leaders and entrepreneurs connected, launching startups and exploring innovative BTC ideas. The initiative seeks to empower communities, including indigenous groups in Mexico. Mérida, capital of the state of Yucatán in southeastern Mexico, gave an example of the level of interest that has been growing in the Mexican population in bitcoin (BTC). This, by displaying the historic Bitcoin White Paper in the Independence Public Plaza. The Startup Day event brought together leaders and entrepreneurs of the ecosystem, convened by the community accelerator dedicated to the Bitcoin ecosystem, PlebLab, and the bitcoiner neobank Yopaki. The event, which coincided with Yopaki’s Bitcoin Block Party in Mexico, builds the foundations for a prosperous future in Yucatán, as pointed out by leaders of both companies. According to the information released by PlebLab, This event marked the inauguration of White Paper House. This physical space will be a center for real estate sovereignty, education and innovation powered by bitcoin, as noted on its website. Together they seek to support early-stage BTC builders, offering mentorship and resources, as well as lead the financial revolution in Latin America with their “just bitcoin” vision. A team from the Tokyo Bitcoin Base community was also present with the idea of contributing to the development of projects, including initiatives that empower indigenous communities in Mexico.
The public display of the Bitcoin White Paper in a plaza in Mérida symbolizes the growing adoption and interest in the digital currency in the country. This educational gesture seeks to bring the principles of Satoshi Nakamoto’s creation to a broader audience. Interest in bitcoin in Mexico has been accelerating the growth of communities that promote circular economies around the digital currency. As BitcoinDynamic has reported, among these initiatives is Puerto Bitcoin Mazatlán, which recently became number 40 in the Federation of Latin Bitcoiners. On the other hand, there is Bitcoin Isla, which in August 2025 opened a cafe that accepts payments in satoshis (the smallest unit of the digital currency).
