Bitcoin-friendly charter city of Próspera in Honduras has hit back at reports it is facing a backlash from residents of the neighboring community of Crawfish Rock. A July 5 article from The Guardian reported some residents are concerned about being displaced from their homes due to the project’s potential expansion plans. A lengthy Twitter thread from the project claims the article is part of a “barrage of lies and misinformation from the mainstream media.” The Bitcoin-loving city has been battling with the Honduras government after it repealed a Zones for Employment and Economic Development (ZEDEs) legislation in April, which was a key piece of legislation that would allow it to operate as a self-governed fully autonomous zone.
