Panama City’s mayor just dropped a bombshell: ships could soon bypass the canal’s infamous backlog by paying transit fees in Bitcoin. Because nothing moves faster than crypto—except maybe the desperation of logistics firms watching their schedules burn.
Here’s the kicker: while traditional payments crawl through banking bureaucracy, Bitcoin transactions settle in minutes. The mayor’s musing taps into crypto’s ultimate promise—cutting out middlemen (and their fees, naturally).
Of course, maritime giants might balk at volatility risks. But let’s be real—after years of supply chain chaos, they’re probably used to gambling by now.
